Year: 2008

This is a really good video and very professionally done.

Someone yesterday on Twitter said that anyone who is undecided about who to vote for this late in the election cycle is stupid. They just did not understand how someone could still have not made a choice. I didn’t bother to reply to him, as he obviously thinks I’m stupid. But had I the inclination […]

The fact that I can’t answer the question clearly after being told by everyone that the world was imploding is irksome. Either this financial crisis bad but we’ll make it, or it’s bad and it’s going to suck the economy down the hole. And why is consumer confidence up? I have an answer: gas prices […]

David Brooks gives us an example today. He entitles his piece “Revolt of the Nihilists” and thus presents us with a false dilemma. You are either with us (for the bailout) or against us. And if you’re against “us”, it is because you’re a nihilist. Not because you may have serious and deep problems with […]

The ultimate goal of the environmental movement can be summed up with a photograph of North Korea at night: In short, moonbats want the lights to go out. Britain has moved toward this highly symbolic objective by killing street lights at night, accepting higher crime rates in exchange for an insignificant reduction in harmless carbon […]

Somebody taught their kid this. They wrote the lyrics, played the music, practiced and then performed this. Barack Obama is just a man. Evidently, way too many people have a life absent of a real God. Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com

Over at the HuffPo, some wacko named Larisa Alexandrovna is actually claiming that Bush created the bailout crisis as part of a coup and that we may need to stage a revolution to stop him. It’s the most novel (if by novel, you mean crazy) take on the bailout yet, In 2000, the long fought […]

Always digging for new lows, the caviar-munching radicals infesting Hollyweird are currently inflicting Battle in Seattle, a movie devoted to eulogizing the infantile thugs who rioted at the WTO conference in 1999 in protest against free trade, capitalism, their parents, and civilization in general. This disgraceful episode in our nation’s history is a cause for […]

“Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and […]

This is from the 9/16/2008 debate on healthcare at Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. Paul Krugman decides to show everyone how great socialized medicine is by asking the Canadians in the room about it and the result is hilarious — well, if you’re conservative.

Right Wing News emailed more than 240 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to answer 4 questions about the bailout. The following 62 blogs responded: The Absurd Report, Atlas Shrugs, The Baseball Crank, Basil’s Blog, BizzyBlog, Dispatches from Blogblivion, Bookworm Room, Cao’s Blog, Cassy Fiano, Conservative Grapevine, Conservative Punk, Conservatism Today, Copious Dissent, DANEgerus Weblog, Argghhhh!, […]

This hasn’t really been an election about issues. John McCain has run on experience, “country first,” being a POW, and being a maverick. Barack Obama has run on being a Democrat, being black, being able to read speeches off of a teleprompter, and “change.” Earlier on the campaign, both candidates focused heavily on the war […]

I take a nap and this is what happens while I’m sleeping? Good. Grief. My natural instinct is to say that it’s good when new laws don’t get passed. Gridlock is a beautiful thing because laws tend to make the average person’s life harder. So the bailout plan failed. I should be ecstatic. Certainly, the […]

From Thaddeus McCotter, the current Chairman of the Republican House Policy Committee and the man I’d like to see leading the Republican Party in the House after the 2008 elections. “Thank you. I rise today not to change anyone’s mind but to express to my constituents my reasons for opposing this bill. There will always […]

As you’re probably seeing everywhere, the 700 billion dollar crap sandwich that’s being served to taxpayers has been defeated by a small margin on the floor. Here’s the vote count according to Hot Air, The final tally was 207-226, with Democrats supporting it 141-94, while Republicans opposed it 66-132. What we have here are large […]

There won’t be any vote in the Senate because the bill has gone down in the House. Dems – 141 Yes/94 No Reps – 64 Yes/134 No So, by a vote of 228 against to 205 for, the bill is dead – at least for today. As the bill was announced in the House, the […]

Here’s how the Democrats “solved” the housing crisis a few years back: And then there is this video that covers visually, what I’ve written about before, about what caused the financial crisis: Here’s an inconvenient truth: President Bush was smarter than Nancy Pelosi about this housing mess (not saying much, but still). John McCain tried […]

I’m totally planning to go see this on Saturday. The promos for it have been hilarious. Hat tip to Hot Air for the video.

Joseph Stalin isn’t the only great thinker to provide inspiration to Obamatrons. The official Obamessiah website allows acolytes to post their favorite quotations from moonbats through the ages. You probably won’t see George Washington or Winston Churchill, but you will find these lefty luminaries: • Karl Marx • Ho Chi Minh • Mao Tse-Tung • […]

Believe it or not, someone actually wrote the words you are about to read to a useless, 5th rate Ann Landers over at Salon, named Cary Tennis, And then came Sarah. My reaction to her, and the way the Republican Party threw her in our faces, and the pandering and hypocrisy that was behind their […]

Last week, I interviewed David Freddoso about his new book, The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our phone conversation. Enjoy! …You did an appearance in Chicago and bizarrely, Barack Obama had his supporters call in to jam […]

“Our nation faces an economic challenge today equal to any challenge we have previously faced and now requires our full attention. The following snapshot of our economy should impress upon everyone the seriousness of the job ahead. The national debt currently stands at over $9.58 trillion, the largest in World history. This year’s deficit, in […]

Dick Morris can be a little hit or miss with his political advice, but his latest words of wisdom for the Republicans in Congress in general and John McCain in particular should be heeded, During Friday’s debate, John McCain assiduously and inexplicably avoided using the issue that might have won him the debate and the […]

Glenn Reynolds didn’t love the McCain performance at the debate, but finds folks who think the old man did great. His conclusion: You should never trust my judgment of these things, as I remember thinking that Carter won the Carter-Reagan debates. But Obama clearly won the post-debate spin, anyway. Well, is there anything — anything? […]

This is a preview of the final bill that they’ve worded on this weekend. This is from a Republican source (email) showing a comparison of the previous two bills and the final bill as they wish to present it. Obviously there may be more: Issue Paulson Plan Frank-Dodd Final Bill $ 700B with no strings. […]

Ah, now this is my kind of article. Western Chauvinist tooted her own horn over at Gerard’s place when he linked to us, and I’m glad she did. To the sidebar she goes. It’s a little difficult to tease this posting the way she’s structured it; I’ll do my best… Is Modern Liberalism Gene Roddenberry’s […]
