Ken Berwitz The ObamaCare exchanges. We started with 23, we\’re down to 11…and most of the rest are on the verge. Excerpted from Ali Meyer\’s article at Washington Free Beacon: An official with the Centers for Medicare and MedicaidServices told lawmakers last week that eight of the 11 remaining Obamacareco-ops have been selected for “corrective action...

Ken Berwitz Our pal Montana Russ has done it again. As usual, no comment is necessary:
Ken Berwitz The name might not be familiar, but you watched him give a lollipop to Judy Garland in a classic 1939 movie. Gerald Marenghi, using the stage name Jerry Maren, the last surviving dwarf Munchkin from The Wizard Of Oz, has died of pancreatic cancer in Los Angeles, at the age of 96. Mr. Marenghi played one of the members of The Lollipop Guild…the middle of three Munchkins who...
Ken Berwitz From our pal Montana Russ. No comment needed:
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Chris Rock, who not only was riotously funny as MC of the Oscars last night (click here for the video), but made one great point after another…with no one on any side spared. This was my single favorite – Mr. Rock describing his photo-op with President Obama at a Hollywood campaign rally: “So, at some point you get to take a...
Ken Berwitz “I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”: George Bernard Shaw Marco Rubio, who seems, more and more, not to be ready for prime time, apparently never got that message. This weekend Rubio, who has been a continuing butt of donald trump\’s vicious personal insults (which certainly does not separate him...
Ken Berwitz The middle school in Rowlett, a town in north Texas, had a Black History Month celebration on Friday – which stirred up enough of a controversy so that the town\’s police chief spoke up, calling it “A direct attack on police”, and “a sad day” for Rowlett. Here is a picture of part of that celebration. See if you can figure out what could possibly...
Ken Berwitz donald trump was on the Today Show this morning. Among his more ludicrous comments (I\’ll update with verbatims when I can get them), we have: -He didn\’t say he couldn\’t disavow the racist anti-Semite david duke because he wasn\’t aware of duke himself, it was because he wasn\’t aware of “other groups” that were also being talked...
Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from Joe Arpaio, Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. It was sent to me by our pal Montana Russ: “\’A liberal paradise would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive healthcare, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only law enforcement has guns. And believe it or...
Ken Berwitz Today we have this, from Michael Isikoff\’s article at yahoo.com… Donald Trump said today he may ask the federal judge overseeing an upcoming civil fraud trial involving the now defunct Trump University to recuse himself because he is Hispanic and is therefore biased against him due to his plan to build a wall to keep out immigrants from Mexico. …and this, from...
Ken Berwitz The Washington Post is now reporting that Melissa Harris-Perry\’s four hours of hosting on MSNBC (10AM – Noon on Saturday and Sunday) is over. Call me a pessimist, but I don\’t think it helped her longevity prospects when Ms. Harris-Perry essentially accused NBC News Chief Andy Lack and MSNBC President Phil Griffin of being racists. Her exact...
Ken Berwitz donald trump has done it again. He gets way less than 50% of the vote, but wins because he has a hardline following, and other candidates are splitting what\’s left. trump got 32% of the vote in South Carolina, with Marco Rubio (22.5%) and Ted Cruz (22.3%) about below him. donald trump winning the Republican nomination would be a disaster of epic proportion for the...
Ken Berwitz My wife and I saw “Eclipsed” last night, during its limited run at Manhattan\’s Golden Theater. “Eclipsed” is a play about how a small group of women try to live their lives, under impossibly awful circumstances, during the second Liberian civil war – which ended, more or less, in 2003, when charles taylor, who had intimidated himself into...
Ken Berwitz In the past two days, the blogosphere is jumping with “news” (speculation, actually), that as donald trump closes in on the Republican nomination – most likely because, although many Republicans are against him, their votes have been split among multiple other candidates – Mitt Romney will be recruited by the party to come back and try to save it from trump...
Ken Berwitz Following is a short article from KABC, Los Angeles, about conservative writer/author Ben Shapiro\’s attempt to speak at California State University, Los Angeles….in rust, with my comments in blue. A controversialconservative commentator was escorted by police from California StateUniversity, Los Angeles as angry demonstrators protested his presence on campusThursday...
