Morning Briefing
For February 28, 2013
1. Yahoo! and Seriously Stupid Media Coverage
I begin this morning with a decidedly non-political topic.
Yahoo! has a new CEO named Marissa Meyer. She just had a baby. She was criticized during her pregnancy for how she would or would not take maternity leave. Basically everything the lady does appears to be criticized.
But the newest media outrage is perhaps the stupidest, most selfish bottom feeding outrage the media can muster.
Marissa Meyer has decided that employees can no longer telecommute. They must get into a Yahoo! office.
How dare she. The outrageous reporting is both entirely predictable and easily would be the stupidest media coverage in American today except for all the leftwing reporters under 50 attacking Bob Woodward for daring to criticize their idol. That story is like Elijah versus the cult of Baal and I don’t even care for Woodward. But I digress . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2. Buying Access in Obama’s Washington
A recent story in the New York Times shined a light on the kind of access that big money donors are given to the President and the White House.
Organizing for Action, the tax exempt “social welfare group” that has evolved from his campaign committee, is raising funds to further President Obama’s agenda in his second term including initiatives like climate change and gun control. According to the New York Times, the group is relying heavily on raising big money from a small group of Democrat power players willing to raise $500,000 or more. Those donors also get another nice perk – insider access to Obama and the White House. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. George McClellan’s Ghost Must be Advising Congressional Conservatives
Forget John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. Conservatives in the House and Senate have been hit with the stupid stick. All I can think is that George McClellan’s ghost is whispering in their ear.
The conservatives in Congress — forget Republican leaders for a minute — want to make their stand not on the continuing resolution to keep the government going, but on the debt ceiling.
Each time Congress has had a debt ceiling fight, it has ended badly for the GOP. Conservatives have been rhetorically slaughtered by even conservatives in the media each time they’ve tried to block a debt ceiling increase.
And guess what? They’ve failed every time. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
