Pro-Obama SuperPAC Out-Messages Obama Campaign On Romney Bain Job Creation Claims video » comments Priorities USA Action, the pro-Obama SuperPAC run by former Deputy White House Press Secretary Bill Burton, has released an effective new web video that highlights the ever-shifting number of jobs that Mitt Romney claims to have created as head of Bain Capital. The video is so effective, in fact, that it begs an obvious question: Why weren’t these clips included in the Obama campaign’s Bain ads?

A just-released Public Policy Polling survey shows a significant shift among Maryland voters’ support for that state’s same-sex marriage referendum: A new Public Policy Polling survey in Maryland finds a significant increase in support for same-sex marriage among African American voters following ...

Mediaite Reader Pens Hilarious American Idol ‘Spoiler Alert’ Screed (WARNING: Extreme Profanity) » comments As many of our readers know, Phillip Phillips has become the latest American Idol champion, but apparently, not all of our readers wanted to know that. One of them shared his feelings with us about our publication of the results without some sort of “Spoiler Alert” for West Coast Idol fans who hadn’t seen the broadcast yet. By way of apology, I would like to offer a tip of my hat to the gentleman for writing an awesomely angry email whose existence is surely worth the offense, and then some. We generally don’t publish this type of profanity, but this is just so beautiful. Here’s what our friend had to say: ... Continue reading →
