Year: 2008

In the slow-news period following Christmas, RNC Chair candidate Chip Saltsman’s Christmas gifts seem to have drawn an inordinate amount of attention, A leading contender to become chairman of the Republican Party has left senior officials horrified after he distributed a CD featuring a parody song called Barack the Magic Negro. At a time when […]

2008 is almost gone and you know what that means: lots and lots of “best of 2008” posts. So, with that in mind, how about suggesting the top stories of 2008?

From an email I received from a RWN reader who would prefer to remain anonymous, Today was my first time actually visiting your site — it proved to be a source of solace. I’ll explain. There is, indeed, lots of anti-American sentiment on the internet. There’s NWO talk, U.S. /FEMA camps for red/blue list targets, […]

“2008 will be the hottest year in a century:” The Old Farmers’ Almanac, September 11, 2008. We’re now well into the earth’s third straight harsher winter–but in late 2007 it was still hard to forget 22 straight years of global warming from 1976-1998. So the Old Farmer’s Almanac predicted 2008 would be the hottest year […]

Some of my favorite Twitter posts from the last few days… @abigvictory Wondering why Wiki is trying to raise 6 million dollars. How much does it cost to make sh*t up? @JPFreire The bus driver just denied passengers a right to their secret ballots in an election to stop at Burger King. UNION THUGGERY! @JulieJoyce […]

Barack Obama promises that science will no longer be “twisted” to fit an ideology. But of course using “science” to advance their political agenda has been a tool of the left for years. A perfect example can be found with the issue of obesity. Andrew Ferguson provides the anatomy of how a personal failing becomes […]

I went to a holiday party Saturday night — actually sat in with the band for two numbers — and you’ll forgive me for being a bit discombobulated today. I freaked out when I saw this headline at Hot Air: Iran hangs ten on Christmas Eve The phrase “hangs ten” struck my cerebral cortex at […]

Climahysterics will get hysterical and will call Christopher Booker at The Telegraph all sorts of bad names. He goes back through his columns and comes to the conclusion that 2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved The first, on May 21, headed “Climate change threat to Alpine ski resorts” , reported that the […]

I was in the middle of a leisurely look at this morning’s sales papers, and as it is every week, a Parade magazine was included with the sales papers and coupons. This week’s magazine featured a “best and worst of 2008” year in review of sorts, and I was disappointed but not surprised to see […]

Haaretz has a story up regarding the Israeli plans to beat the snot out of Hamas, which is driving sites such as Firedoglaketo their typical unhingedness (not to mention the claims of a mosque and jihadi TV station being hit. Poor babies). Let’s look. Disinformation, secrecy and lies: How the Gaza offensive came about Long-term […]

With just about 5 weeks to go until the vote in Washington, DC to elect the next Chairman of the Republican National Committee, the six candidates running have very little time to impress and convince the 168 voting members of the Republican National Committee that they would be the best candidate for the job. To […]

The Washington Post has its Obama-centric glasses on, I see: Israel’s airstrikes on Gaza yesterday, in retaliation for a nonstop barrage of rocket attacks from Hamas fighters, raised the prospect of an escalation of violence that could scuttle any hopes the incoming Obama administration harbored of forging an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal. “If the casualty reports […]

You all know the Pieta, Michelangelo’s exquisite rendition of a devastated Mary holding Jesus’ body in her arms: With that in mind, tell me what you think of this picture out of Gaza from the always even-handed New York Times? (And for those of you who don’t know me, I’m being sarcastic about the Times.) […]

Another Christmas has come and gone; let’s hope the planet can recover. From Down Under: Wasted food at Christmas time is now being highlighted as an environmental problem. Jon Dee, the chairman of Do Something, says gases from leftover food rotting in landfill are 20 times more potent than the carbon pollution from car exhausts. […]

The Media Research Center offers a collection of 2008 lowlights from the moonbat media. MSNBC Obamunist Chris “Tweety” Matthews wins “Quote of the Year” for his on-air description of the sensation that overcomes him when he listens to Obama peddling the vacuous pabulum that covers his lunatic left agenda: I felt this thrill going up […]

In the fake-phony land of liberals, I’d be chastised by the PC police for promoting this Ann Coulter quote. Fortunately, I’m not in the business of abiding by their rules, so I’m free to say that Coulter’s statement wouldn’t be as amusing as it is if it weren’t so peculiarly… true. I mean, we’ve all […]

This just goes to show how far we truly have come: Iraq’s Christians, a scant minority in this overwhelmingly Muslim country, quietly celebrated Christmas on Thursday with a present from the government, which declared it an official holiday for the first time. … In his homily on Thursday, Chaldean Cardinal Emmanuel III Delly praised the […]

The only shocking thing about this column is that a liberal was actually willing to say this out loud: I don’t love America. That’s what conservatives are always telling liberals like me. Their love, they insist, is truer, deeper and more complete. Then liberals, like all people who are accused of not loving something, stammer, […]

Gay activists went crazy when Prop. 8 passed banning gay marriage, using intimidation and ridicule on those who donated and/or supported Prop. 8. I blogged before about the bullying tactics used by those who opposed Prop. 8: The activist gay community has only hurt it’s cause by resorting to intimidation and threats to those individuals […]

The issue of abortion on demand is one I typically avoid for the most part, except regarding late term and parental notification, but, this one is just was too over the top to ignore Undermining women’s reproductive rights and access to health care has been a pervasive theme of the outgoing administration. On his first […]

On of Surrendies favorite things, when it comes to surrender, is when newspapers surrender to massive idiocy in pushing a political agenda. They can wrap it up in nice prose and “facts,” but, idiocy is still idiocy. Case in point: Lauren Stiller, New York Times: First Lady: A Job Worth A Paycheck  First lady. First […]

I originally produced the above clip, “Mugging For The Camera,” back in early April as part of my Silicon Graffiti series of videoblogs, and uploaded it first to my primary video server, where I posted it here and it got a fair chunk of traffic in the Blogosphere. I then uploaded it to YouTube for […]

CNN’s John Roberts can be witnessed between 6:50 and 7:30 point in the above edition of Silicon Graffiti doing an amazing aerial 180 worthy of both Tony Hawk and Joseph Stalin–and here with the very definition of a Freudian slip. And yet, he seems surprisingly incredulous when one of October’s chief hit and run victims […]

Christmas is always a little bittersweet for me. Almost all of my Christmas memories involve my brother — him unwrapping and then rewrapping presents under the tree, decorating the house together, and squirming through Midnight Mass together. We’ll never have any of that again, and the memories will just have to be enough. I have […]
