Over the past week, several political-insider wizards of smart have deemed Republican senatorial hopeful Christine O’Donnell unelectable – almost taking it to the point of vitriolic screeds you’d expect to hear from left-wing commentators, which would probably appear as a guest on MSNBC in their prime time lineup. Their issue: In an interview, O’Donnell had claimed she could be the potential target of political opponents and that she had to be extra careful when she would go home at night. “They’re following me,” she told The Weekly Standard. “They follow me home at night. I make sure that I come...

Federal Express opposes what they say is a congressional effort to tilt the package delivery market in favor of UPS and against the consumer. FedEx says this is a "Brown Bailout." UPS is a unionized, FedEx is not. This is one of several videos that attempt to explain the controversy.

I can't wait to see Robert Gibbs walk this one back tomorrow. Surely, some able reporter will ask him to explain in more detail exactly who President Obama was referring to and what comment met the bar for "talk about me like a dog." Video is here.

A video that was published on Sunday shows Hizbullah terrorists as they smuggle weapons from the arms cache in the city of Shehabiyeh which exploded on Friday. The video, which was first broadcast on LBC News on Friday, shows aerial photos taken from above the site of the explosion. At first, thick smoke is seen rising from the weapons cache. Approximately 40 minutes later, Hizbullah activists are seen as they quickly hide weapons from the cache, and then another Hizbullah activist is shown examining the entrance to the cache.

On May 13, 2010, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm released a series of public service announcements warning Michigan residents about investment scams. The 30-second radio ads encourage people to do background checks before giving any money to a purported investor. Just two months earlier, the Michigan Economic Growth Authority approved a $9.1 million tax credit for a convicted embezzler who was on parole (http://www.mackinac.org/12345). Background check, anyone?

St. Louis blogger, Sharp Elbows, videotaped an effort to get Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on record about his position on the Ground Zero mosque during a Town hall meeting with veterans in his home district. Carnanhan repeatedly ignores his constituent and finally leaves the building and heads for parking lot and has vehicle at a fast pace. I think from Caranahan's non-answer, we might safely assume he joins President Obama in supporting the Ground Zero mosque construction. The video can be seen here.

Last night, Dick Morris told Greta Van Susteren Democrats will be “losing 80 seats” in this year’s Midterm Elections. That would be a new record. The old record is the 74 seats that Republicans lost in 1922. Let's hope he is right. Here is the video:

Joke-telling robots, expensive walking tunnels, Blackberries for smokers, and training American prostitutes to drink responsibly. Can you tell which of these government spending projects are real or fake?

Under Louisiana law, it is a crime for anyone but a licensed funeral director to sell "funeral merchandise," which includes caskets. To sell caskets legally, the monks of Saint Joseph Abbey would have to abandon their calling for one full year to apprentice at a licensed funeral home, learn unnecessary skills and take a funeral industry test. They would also have to convert their monastery into a "funeral establishment" by, among other things, installing equipment for embalming human remains.

Wondering why your Congressman didn’t hold town-hall meetings this August? Perhaps you heard that he or she is too busy with charitable work to talk with constituents, or a sudden family medical issue has come up. Heritage for America games out the responses in this amusing video, starring veteran character actor Clint Howard, that shows the brainstorming necessary to explain when incumbents attempt to avoid accountability:.. After the midterms, that last line may become the new catchphrase on Capitol Hill: “Who’s the new guy?”

Pat Caddell is a former Jimmy Carter pollster who is part of a group of ‘old style’ democrats headed by Clintonite James Carville, who are speaking out against the hijacking of the U.S. democratic party by the far left’s Marxist agenda. As seen in the video below, Pat Caddell warns the country about the outrage that is building against Obama’s tyrannical, Constitution-shredding Marxist agenda and says the anger in the country has reached ‘pre-revolutionary’ levels. Caddell says that even if the democrats manage to turn the economy around, it won’t help because this is a different kind of anger. Its...

There’s been a misconception in the media lately about it being illegal to videotape cops in three states; Maryland, Massachusetts and Illinois. That’s not exactly true. In Massachusetts, it is illegal to secretly record anybody without their consent, but there is no law against openly videotaping anybody in public with or without their consent, including cops. In fact, charges have been dropped against people who have been arrested for videotaping cops in public in Massachusetts. In Maryland, state police and a certain prosecutor treat it as if it is illegal but another state attorney as well as the attorney general...

New technology called "text-to-video" available on web sites like Xtranormal.com allows ordinary folks to reenact real life experiences by way of computer generated voices and animated charachters. The result allows the kind of detached analysis of an event that is not possible with a single person simply re-telling a story in first person. The creator of the text-to-video YouTube video below captioned the video with the following statement: "This is an example of a conversation that took place on a corner near my home in front of a corner bakery." The video portrays in step by step detail the human...

Does anyone have access to the video of 0bama saying that we can not afford to return the policies of GWB? I don't recall the location of the lecture, but he blabbed at a fund raiser about a week or 2 ago. I have a project in mind to compare where we are vs where we were.

Dear XXXXX-- With Congress's August recess now under way, Republican members of Congress are starting to show up at Tea Party events and campaign rallies all over the country. We saw last year during the fight for health reform that this is a time when the extremists run rampant. Remember "death panels?" This year, Republicans are looking to have it both ways, trying to appeal to independent voters while making promises to the Tea Party crowd to pursue an extreme right-wing agenda if they regain control of Congress. Who knows what's being said when the cameras aren't running? We don't...
