Last week, Shrillary canceled an appearance at today’s pro-Israel, anti-Ahmadinejad rally in New York when she found out Sarah Palin would be there. Soon afterwards, Palin was rudely disinvited. A local CBS affiliate — hardly in the tank for McCain — explains why: Dems threatened to sic the IRS on the organizers if they let […]

Joe Biden says he won’t let Obama take away his gun. Biden, who regularly gets an “F” grade from the NRA, sounds straight outta Compton when he says “he [Obama] tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem.” Does Biden know they’re on the same ticket? — Karol Sheinin blogs political at Alarming […]

One nice thing about politically correct totalitarianism is that it allows anyone to be arrested at any time for any reason. For example, a mother in Manchester was arrested and had her DNA and fingerprints recorded by the police because someone saw a golly doll in her window. Amanda Schofield claims her daughter left it […]

Rusty Shackleford makes a good case that that’s exactly what has happened: Extensive research was conducted by the Jawa Report to determine the source of smears directed toward Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Those smears included false allegations that she belonged to a secessionist political party and that she has radical anti-American views. Our […]

Hello. I’m Frank J. from the Rational Policy Institute. I’ve done a lot of study of conservatives, and this presidential election has been especially enlightening about right-leaning Americans and their attitudes towards minorities. They don’t like them. Especially African-Americans. The lack of support by conservatives for U.S. Senator Barack Obama, the first African-American nominated by […]

I am going to be taking care of some personal business on Monday, so I will have a crew of guest bloggers filling in on Right Wing News and CG, along with my regular co-bloggers. Here’s the line-up. Right Wing News on Monday Cassy Fiano Michele Catalano from A Big Victory Frank J. from IMAO […]

Don’t make me do this!: The North Koreans say they’re going to rev up their nuclear reactor because the United States hasn’t moved fast enough for its totalitarian taste on a disarmament-for-aid agreement: It is the first time the communist nation has confirmed a reversal of steps taken since last year to disable its nuclear […]

Whoa. Open Left received (supposedly) an email from a Democrat lawmaker, which starts out thusly (note: I’ve edited the bad language) Paulsen and congressional Republicans, or the few that will actually vote for this (most will be unwilling to take responsibility for the consequences of their policies), have said that there can’t be any “add […]

Sam Harris takes up the baton to defend elitism. Of course to do so he has to rip Sarah Palin and most of the country. The problem, as far as our political process is concerned, is that half the electorate revels in Palin’s lack of intellectual qualifications. When it comes to politics, there is a […]

There’s been a slight turn in Obama’s favor as of last week. The hardcore left-wingers are predictably playing this up as hard as they can in hopes of producing a bandwagon effect to put The Chosen One over the top. The blip isn’t as interesting to me as its perceived cause: The change from a […]

Fox News has the story: JACKSONVILLE, FL – Protesters are as common to the campaign trail as supporters – from those waving McCain signs at the entrance of events, to the more subtle passersby who flash the thumbs down gesture (or worse) along the motorcade route, to the occasional group that infiltrates and interrupts an […]

Blogger friend Duffy… In an earlier post I mentioned it but only in the context of the upcoming VP debates. I completely missed something. If paying more taxes is patriotic, it stands to reason that paying less taxes is unpatriotic. Therefore, our troops in war zones who are exempt from income taxes are unpatriotic. That […]

In 2000, the long fought for and long admired democracy of the United States of America began a slow and steady decline toward fascism – a Bush family tradition – with the installment of a president – a man the citizens overwhelmingly rejected (although the funny math told a still believed myth) – by a […]

So, we’ve got some pieces and bits of 13 of the 9/11 hijackers. The question is, what do we do with them? Seven years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, the remains of 13 of the 19 men responsible have been identified and are in the custody of the F.B.I. and the New York […]

Sound like parody? Well, isn’t life a parody? A federal district court judge in Washington, D.C., ruled today that the Library of Congress discriminated against Diane Schroer when it offered her a job and then rescinded it after learning she was transgendered. The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented Schroer, said Judge James Robertson’s ruling […]

I was startled to read this analysis by AllahP over at Hot Air, which discusses the possibility of a break between McCain and Palin in 2012, based on the idea proposed in this Politico piece on whether Palin might take McCain on directly in four years. Startling, indeed: I had thought that the heffalump in […]

Lost amidst all the hubbub about what a perfect-ten skit opened last weekend’s Saturday Night Live — by the way, I’d characterize it as a “well above par nine,” but who’s counting — was a far more poignant commentary about forty-five minutes in (counting commercial breaks). It was during the Weekend Update segment, when Amy […]

Greta van Susteren bashes the CBC’s Heather Mallick in a NEW video. (Kathy Shaidle blogs at FiveFeetOfFury. Mark Steyn has called her “one of the great virtuoso polemicists of our day.”)

Original email I received: Dear Jay I probably have some agreement with you that the ACLU takes seperation of church and state way too far.I don’t see that a prayer at a graduation is any violation of a so-called seperation of church and state.Jay my problem arises when we look at some of the ultra […]

Can anyone make out what the KKK sign says? Obama22 blacks against obamaby dollarsandsense123 Wow! I must say that I didn’t notice this! A strange end to a long week of race-baiting indeed.

Many years ago, courtesy of Turner Classic Movies (my favorite TV station), I watched The Farmer’s Daughter, a 1947 film starring Loretta Young and Joseph Cotten. Over the years, I’ve carried a strong memory of liking the movie a great deal, and no memory at all of the plot. So, when I saw that The […]

James Taranto is noticing some peculiar things about the way the Associated Press discusses the federal crime that is the hacking of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s e-mail account. The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not […]

Quoting myself over at Cassy’s place, as usual, nurturing my bad software-developer’s habit of leaving absolutely nothing unsaid. The subject is this weird article written up by some asshole by the name of Nicholas Provenzo, who is “troubled by…[Gov. Palin]’s decision to knowingly give birth to a child disabled with Down syndrome.” I do not […]

Stuart Taylor of the National Journal has a column out today in which he takes both presidential candidates to task for engaging in what he characterizes as “a race to the bottom”. But it isn’t the candidates or campaigns which are the real target of his disdain. It is the media: At the same time, […]

How low is the bar and what does it matter? The media becomes more a parody of itself with every passing day. When it’s  not busy rubbing its paws in glee cheering on criminals committing  crimes and misdemeanors in the immoral illegal act of hacking private emails,  they are scratching their ass thinking, uh what […]

The DC Examiner offers a glowing review of Sandra Bernhard’s latest show. Under the title, “Comedienne Delivers Enraged Optimism,” a reviewer raves: [I]n the end, oddly and subtly, Bernhard’s message is positive. Presumably the reason the relentless stream of foul-mouthed bile Bernhardt passes off as comedy is seen as “positive” is that she directs so […]
