A throw-the-bums out attitude — and Obama Mania in Houston — elects a tattooed ex-cokehead as a district court judge: Fine, a Democrat, campaigned on his life experiences, saying they would make him a better judge than his rival, Republican incumbent Devon Anderson. “She did a good job, but I’m more qualified in the hopelessness […]

More AGW conclusions called into doubt: On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record. The blunder? GISS’s computerised temperature maps seemed […]

So, I’m watching advertising people and mommy bloggers erupt this weekend on Twitter. The subject didn’t interest me much–moms were mad at Motrin. I didn’t go look at the video, but gathered that it was disparaging to moms. Well, the ladies were majorly peeved and mounted a protest via YouTube and firestorm of rage coursed […]

“According to the usual suspects, the benchmark in garnering Hispanic votes for Republicans is Bush’s 40 percent showing in 2004. So what would have happened if McCain had matched Bush’s performance, instead of the 31 percent he actually got? Based on CNN’s exit polls, McCain still would have lost Nevada, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, Ohio, […]

Here’s a sure-fire way to lose weight. Serve yourself dinner on one of these: Imagine what will happen to your appetite when you eat your way down to Chairman Zero’s self-worshiping grin. But then, given our economic outlook under Obamunism, losing weight probably won’t be a major priority. On a tip from Topcat. Cross-posted at […]

Wall Street is highly unlikely to be rescued from its tailspin by the election of a moonbat who has promised to raise capital gains taxes even if it lowers revenues, simply to inflict a Marxist concept of “fairness” on investors. Considering that New York City’s bloated budget relies heavily on taxes looted from the floundering […]

One of the things I’ve been warning about of late is the economic danger of putting an ever greater share of the tax burden on high producers while large percentages of the American people pay no income tax at all. In New York state, they’ve relied very heavily on the financial sector to shoulder their […]

Define R.I.N.O.: A Republican In Name Only. Examples of the type of Republican covered under this definition are: Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL] Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL] Rep. Michael Ferguson [R-NJ] Rep. Christopher Shays [R-CT] Rep. Michael Castle [R-DE] These five supposed Republican are nothing more than jackasses in elephant’s clothing. Rep. Mark Kirk has introduced […]

The gossip mags are all running pics of Sarah Palin by the pool in Miami. I wasn’t entirely sure it was her, though. For example, these first two are la ittle ambiguous. However, this definitely looks like Sarahcuda, doesn’t it? You can see all the pics here.

One of the big questions of the day is whether or not you, me, and the rest of the American taxpayers should be bailing out the Big 3 Automakers. Not only should we not be bailing them out, we shouldn’t even be asking the question. It’s not the job of the government to decide which […]

Right Wing News emailed almost 260 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of whom they considered to be their “Favorite People On The Right.” Representatives from the following 44 blogs responded… All American Blogger, Atlas Shrugs, Axis of Right, Bad Example, Blonde Sagacity, Bookworm Room, (Matt) Bull Moose Strikes Back, (Laura) […]

Stupid man meets nature: A young man’s irresponsible bravado nearly cost a young girl her life Saturday afternoon. The 16-year-old girl was mauled by a cougar and rushed to the hospital after she and 21-year-old Anthony Zitnick illegally entered a wildlife collector’s home about 1:30 p.m. Neighbors believe Zitnick was trying to impress the younger […]

The economy is affecting everything. HOWLING FJORD – High above the Great Sea, once the site of fierce battles, Valgarde settlement now sits empty. Stung by plummeting real estate prices, Alliance and Horde forces have returned to Kalimdor, leaving behind foreclosure signs and broken dreams. All across Northrend such depressing sights abound. In Dragonblight, Wyrmrest […]

Hawkins’ Note: The original video was having loading problems, so I switched it out with the YouTube version. It should work fine now…

Perhaps some of the climahysterics can explain how this occurred A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and […]

In trying to place the blame for California’s Prop 8, which bans gay marriage in California, on Mormons, the NYT completely ignores contrary evidence that it was the huge number of Obama voters in CA who really tipped the scale in passing the controversial measure. In particular, black voters in CA voted 70%-30% in favor […]

Everyone is asking “WWBD?” as of late. What Will Barry Do? is obviously of importance, considering all the hopiness and changiness that Barry promised to the weak minded dupes who never thought to inquire why they were serving on something called a “Death Star.” Patterico solicited ideas on this the other day, and there were […]

Washington Post White House correspondent Chris Cillizza lists five (false) myths that have already sprung up about the election, of which the last two are the most important for Republicans to examine: A Republican candidate could have won the presidency this year. McCain made a huge mistake in picking Sarah Palin. Now, on the first, […]

Princeton University announced last month that Shirley M. Tilghman, the University’s president, will serve as “one of the founding trustees for King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, a new international, coeducational, graduate-level research university that is being created near Saudi Arabia’s second largest city, Jeddah.” Isn’t that an odd choice for a high commissar […]

It’s time to end the post mortem and get moving, the only problem being that “getting moving” is proving to be as rancorous amongst conservatives as was the political cycle itself. One of the schisms I’m seeing in my own blog is between pro-Life and pro- (or, at least, not anti-) abortion types. That got […]

Instapundit says “blame Catharine McKinnon” (who pioneered the legal theory of sexual harassment as a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act) for two recent deaths at the University of Iowa: For the second time this year, a professor at the University of Iowa has taken his own life after being accused of sexual harassment. […]

Delegates at the Canadian Conservative Party convention just voted overwhelmingly to repeal Section 13.1 of our “Human Rights” law — that’s the notorious “likely” clause, i.e., someone could argue that Seinfeld re-runs are “likely” to expose Jews to “hatred and contempt” and conceivably get them banned from Canadian airwaves. Ezra Levant has the good news, […]

Forbes warns us: If you think runaway oil prices are upsetting, just wait for what’s in store for electricity. Similar forces are in play. Demand is rising fast; supply is not. The cost to get coal and natural gas out of the ground is going up, and to that expense must be added the cost […]

Anyone with more brain cells than a ripe tomato knew that Barack Obama and Bill Ayers are buddies and far more than passing acquaintances in the snobby Chicago neighborhood where they, without irony, reside. Now, the press has decided to pretend at interest. From Ace: The truth is not a smear. What we established to […]

If Barack Obama can be elected president, anything is possible: even the corrupt and obnoxious hard-left professional clown Al Franken joining the Senate. He lost the election, so he is pulling an Al Gore, with his supporters manufacturing postelection votes by the hundreds in the most open contempt for democrat processes since their fellow progressive […]

Now that the campaigning is over for a few months, the media is dropping some of the pretenses that allowed it to install an unqualified, left-wing radical in the White House. People who get their news from the leftstream media may vaguely recognize the name William Ayers. He was a terrorist who bombed a long […]

I’m just full of joi de vivre. The economy will get worse. It just makes sense. Car companies are in long term trouble because people can drive older used cars. Retailers are in long term trouble because people can buy cute enough clothes at Wal-Mart and Target. The housing market won’t rebound for a while […]
