Year: 2008

From “Die for Gaia, save the planet?,” by Tim Worstall, “The enviroloonies seem to have found their way out of the asylum again: this time to tell us that 70 per cent of Britons should die for the sake of Gaia. That’s not quite the way they put it, of course. Rather, the Optimum Population […]

Yesterday, hillariously, Obama supporter, Texas State Senator Kirk Watson, got pinned down by Chris Matthews and was forced to admit that he supported Obama despite the fact that he couldn’t name a single thing that Obama had ever accomplished. Here’s the video if you’d like to watch Watson being humiliated, But, wait — it gets […]

Here are my favorite quotes from Dexter Yager’s Dynamic People Skills, which is an excellent book. “Here’s the good news: you can create permanent change in your life. There is a way to get beyond mediocrity and gain self-respect. But you can’t play games anymore — not with your bank account, your personal dignity, your […]

If you listen to liberals, they’ll tell you that conservatives are angry, homophobic, racist, misogynist people…which is why the time I spent surfing through the liberal blogosphere this morning was so surprising — well, it would be surprising if I didn’t already realize that liberals have a tendency to project their more unsavory beliefs and […]

Have you ever noticed that global warming alarmists relentlessly hype anything that they think proves their case, but then they immediately go quiet when enormous holes are blown in the key pieces of evidence that they’ve been using? Isn’t that a pretty good indication that they’re more interested in pushing political propaganda than science? For […]

As we all know, John McCain has an enormous decision to make, one that has been much talked about and one that will probably mean the difference between success and failure for his campaign. That’s right; John McCain has got to decide what his campaign theme song is going to be. There has been some […]

The Democrat party is the party of hope. The Republican party is the party of fear. Democrats say: “I hope the terrorists don’t attack us!” Republicans say: “To hell with that. I want them to fear us.” This content was used with the permission of Patterico.

How do you make sure that patients get treated within four hours of arriving at the hospital? You leave them in the ambulances for a few hours until the hospital is ready to take them. That is what is happening in England to comply with a new law. Seriously ill patients are being kept in […]

Over at the HuffPo, the reaction to Castro stepping down has been about what you’d expect from their commenters — well, about what I’d expect anyway. About 1/3, “glad he’s gone,” about 1/3 “Castro is great,” and about 1/3 “I hate Bush and/or America.” Incidentally, the “I hate Bush and/or America” posts are about a […]

“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback.” — Michelle Obama Let’s see, the wife has never been proud of her own country until her husband had a chance to be President and the husband opposes flag pins and putting […]

Over at Ace of Spades HQ, they’re talking about “honey trapping.” What’s “honey trapping,” you ask? Martinez is a “honey trapper” — or as he likes to call himself, an “integrity tester” — one of a growing team of private detectives who are hired by wives, husbands or partners to test the loyalty of their […]

Gee, how would you feel every time you turned over a new month on this calender? Ooooh, she’s hot, but oh wait, depressing! You better hurry because the last batch of Ron Paul pinup calendars is going quickly. Which pleases Juliet Annerino no end because she sank a sizable chunk of her own change into […]

Good grief! Is McCain running for President of the United States on a Republican ticket or for a Democratic leadership position in the Senate? STEPHANOPOULOS: Back in 2005, you said, “I have no doubt that Sen. [Hillary] Clinton would make a good president.” MCCAIN: Well, look, here’s — Sen. Clinton and I are sitting next […]

El Presidente has resigned!

I ran across a post over at Tech President that said, This week we feature a few videos that are either inspired by “Yes We Can,” or try to convey its positive message in favor of Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. But we’ve come across no voter-generated videos in support of John McCain. Is he […]

Barack Obama is the single least qualified candidate running for the presidency, on either side, and he wouldn’t have the slightest chance to win the Democratic nomination or the presidency if he weren’t black. So, if he were to get elected, wouldn’t that make him the first Affirmative Action President?

As you may have heard, Nancy Reagan fell yesterday and hurt herself. The good news was that she apparently didn’t seriously hurt herself. The bad news is that story was posted at the Huffington Post, which is notorious for wishing death, injury, and general ill will towards anyone associated with conservatism and the Republican Party […]

Over time, as people continue relentlessly hammering Obama for being vacuous, his whole “change, unity, hope” meme will sound increasingly hollow. Then, eventually, it’ll become like John Kerry mentioning his service in Vietnam: people will groan and roll their eyes when he says the words “change, unity, or hope.” At that point, he’ll be in […]

My latest Townhall column, Barack Obama: A Human Hallmark Card For President?, was the 5th most forwarded column on Townhall this week. So, if you didn’t catch it the first time around, now would be a good time to do it.

Code Pink and the gang of anti-American trash that shows up at their rallies were holding an anti-Marines Corps rally at Berkeley last week-end and America’s best protest photographer, Zombie from Zombietime, showed up to cover the profanity, hated, and loathing of our troops that has become so common on the Left these days. Here […]

Will the 2008 election boil down to one thing? According to Frank Rich, this election won’t be about ideas or policy or platforms, it will be about brown, young and new versus white, old and used up. He says: Even by the low standards of his party, Mr. McCain has underperformed at reaching millennials in […]

Instapundit: ELEANOR CLIFT: “Al Gore on the second ballot: A scenario that a few weeks ago seemed preposterous is beginning to look plausible to some nervous Democrats looking for a way out of the deadlock between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.” This seems more like a pundit’s dream than anything that’s likely to happen. But […]

Why do we really need FISA to allow U.S. intelligence agencies to surveille electronic messages, such as email and phone calls, between people who are not citizens of the United States, and, as such, are not covered by the Constitution? Even if they are in the United States. Seems kinda silly, doesn’t it? We used […]

Ezra Klein has his boxers in a bunch over the Clinton campaign’s declaration that it plans to get whatever delegates it needs to win by any means necessary. This demonstrates not only a gross ruthlessness on the part of Clinton’s campaign, but an astonishingly cavalier attitude towards the preservation of the progressive coalition. To be […]
