You’ll be just as shocked as me that the ombuds(wo)man for NPR would have a reckless disregard for the facts.

The questions the Peter King is right to ask.
A Civil War
Coming To Their Senses On High-Speed Rail
Even in California? It’s certainly insane to think the state can afford it, but then, this is the state that has voted to destroy its economy with crazy emissions rules, and then doubled down on it. So, we’ll see.
The Unintended Consequences Of ObamaCare
Yes, I’m as shocked as you are to discover that a massive bill that no one had a chance to read before it was passed has some.
We are ruled by idiots. Or at least, we were.
Saving Us From Ourselves
You know, when they were casting Atlas Shrugged, they should have seen if Henry Waxman would do a cameo. He’d be a perfect fit.
Tiny Cuts
The cuts represent less than 2 percent of the total budget, less than 4 percent of the deficit, and less than 5 percent of discretionary spending, which rose in real terms by 75 percent from 2000 to 2010 and by about 9 percent in each of the last two fiscal years. If the House-approved reductions would be “the largest one-year cuts in history,” as the folks at Every Child Matters say, that is a sad commentary not on Republican cold-heartedness but on the fiscal incontinence of both parties.
They squeal like stuck pigs at pinpricks.
White House To Liberal-Minded Muslims
Administration officials declined to explain why they have not reached out to groups of liberal-minded Muslims. “Federal Departments and Agencies engage with a wide variety of Muslim organizations and groups throughout the country, often through open forums and meetings and we have also consulted a wide variety of academics and researchers about the views of Muslims in America,” according to a March 8 statement from White House spokesman Nicholas Shapiro.
Among the Muslim groups with the greatest access to the White House are MPAC, based in Los Angeles, and the Islamic Society of North America, based in Plainfield, Ind. MPAC is an advocacy group with few members, and ISNA is a umbrella group for many groups and mosques that practice orthodox Islam, which mandates the subordination of democratic governments to Islamic rules.
Leftists like to fly the false flag of “liberal,” but they’re really not.

The New Holocaust
Democrat hysteria and hyperbole over modest budget cuts reaches new highs. Or lows:
“The mean-spirited bill, H.R. 1 … eliminates the National Endowment of the Humanities, National Endowment of the Arts,” said Reid. “These programs create jobs. The National Endowment of the Humanities is the reason we have in northern Nevada every January a cowboy poetry festival. Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist.”
Who knew that these benighted cowboy poetry afficianados were not only dependent on Washington for their rodeo clown fix, but their very existence?

Yippi-ki-o, yipp-ki-a, cowboy poets on the dole.
