(SEE UPDATE BELOW) With all that website space taken up with Mark Mardell’s encomium to Bill Clinton, a dishonest attack piece on Govs. Jindal and Haley, and Kate Dailey’s furrowed-brow musings over Elizabeth Warren’s mewling about horrors of “income inequality” (making sure not to mention Warren’s fake Cherokee ancestor controversy), the BBC News Online editors had no more room to report that the convention bosses had to force an acknowledgment … Continue reading
BBC News online has published an article today by “Washington-based journalist Seema Sirohi” asking why Indian-Americans prefer the Democratic Party. This being the BBC the journalist is of course strongly pro-Democrat (see example tweets below) and the article is basically an excuse for her to rail against the Republicans in the most obvious and partisan way.

Also included are further parts … Continue reading
This is the BBC’s take on how the Olympics went for the troops working there: London Olympics: How was it for the troops? The public love them, their efficiency, friendly nature and some of the women coming into the Park often admit there is that man-in-uniform factor. “I was very happy to see the soldiers,” says Liz Gluckman, arriving with her family from Cobham. “They were very friendly and smiling.” … Continue reading
Wednesday Open Thread for your edification…

But first, a little sneer while making a lazy attempt to compare Michelle Obama’s speech to Ann Romney’s: … Continue reading
