Crank up the old Leftist media machines! The Los Angeles Times has a story that for all intents and purposes is a smear-piece on Christine O’Donnell’s endorsement of Mitt Romney.

First sentence? “She’s not a witch.” Then why mention it? And if that is the case, which it is, why the headline “It’s Witchcraft?” Because the Leftist media must resort to tired tropes and memes, or else their brains will start working for themselves.

Anyway, the whole piece continues about what a joke she is, how the Romeny campaign is delighted to have the endorsement of an embarrassment to the party, and so on. Why is O’Donnell such an embarrassment? Because she was pretty much the only Republican loser in 2010. Hah hah! Wait—that’s an embarrassment to the Democrats, then, no? And by the way, she did extremely well against a candidate heavily favored to win.

Check out this overtly opinionated editorial claiming to be journalism:

The [Romney endorsement press] release makes no mention of O’Donnell’s background as a failed candidate for office many times over, her financial woes, her much publicized stumble last year over the 1st Amendment or her history as an abstinence advocate for the MTV generation. This year she released a book titled “Troublemaker,” and made headlines for walking out on a CNN interview when asked about same-sex marriage.

Her level of radioactivity is such that the Democratic National Committee took the unusual step of simply forwarding the Romney press release on O’Donnell to reporters with the comment “In case you missed it.” The thinking on its part is that the more Romney tacks rightward to shore up his flank in his steel-cage death match with Newt Gingrich, the more vulnerable he makes himself in the general election should he make it that far.

Interestingly, the Romney endorsement press release makes no mention that writer James Oliphant is an overt salesman for the Democratic party.

Pathetic. At least try to appear like you aren’t a planted Journ-O-lister.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
