The speech itself felt mechanical. There were some interesting quotes including: “I love America!” [Note: As an aside, I feel like if you have to say it, you call it into question.] “We will build the world as it should be.” “Hillary Clinton put 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling”–and this is a paraphrase–and […]

The disgraced John Edwards has proven himself right about there being two Americas: one is rich enough to get their campaign donations quietly refunded; the other is poor enough to ignore. Following Warren Buffet’s warning that donors could give the ambulance-chasing Breck Girl a dose of his own medicine with a class action lawsuit, DBKP […]

People who are honest will admit that race is a double edged sword for Barack Obama. Yes, there are certainly racist Democrats and independents out there who will not vote for Barack Obama because he’s black. On the other hand, if Barack Obama weren’t black, he could have never gotten this far. A white man […]

Conversation with an acquaintance in anticipation of school starting: Acquaintance: I’m not happy about my son’s class placement. Well, the teacher is good, but the kid who rubbed his penis against another kid and then peed on his leg last year is in my kid’s class. Me: So ask to get your kid switched. Acquaintance: […]

It looks like the moonbats at Daily Kos can smell a drubbing coming their way. The inevitable tinfoil-hat gibbering about stolen elections has already begun. A Kostard calling itself midwestvoter snivels: “We are really going to do this; Man, it’s really going to happen!”, I kept thinking. The more I thought about what is possible […]

Granted, you can’t say that Roseanne Barr is relevant to the political scene or that her scribblings are influential, like those of the bloggers at the HuffPo or the Daily Kos, but wow, is her blogging fun to read — well, if by “fun,” you mean penned by a liberal lunatic who probably needs her […]

Nancy Pelosi on natural gas: On NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, the speaker twice seemed to suggest that natural gas – an energy source she favors – is not a fossil fuel. “I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels,” she said at one point. Natural gas “is cheap, […]

This week, despite getting some pretty terrible placement and having them initially put my column under someone else’s name, I managed to still sneak into the #4 slot on Townhall for the week in forwards. To be up there will people like Ann Coulter, Thomas Sowell, and John Stossel is a real honor.

There are three excellent nicknames I’ve seen for Obama/Biden. The first was the Clean and Jerk ticket, which is a reference to Biden’s infamous comment about Obama, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” I also like […]

The website of the day is NotReady08.    

One of the myths that the Left consistently recycles is that Democrats lose elections because the Republicans hit them hard and the Dems don’t fight back. Why, if only the Dems weren’t so “nice,” they could compete with those mean ole Republicans! For example, according to the myth, what killed John Kerry was his refusal […]

“If Obama’s core message is ‘change’ and ‘judgment’ based on his prescience on the Iraq War vote, well then, Biden is the exact opposite of those things.” — Markos Moulitsas

Joe Biden’s biggest selling point is supposed to be his foreign policy “expertise.” However, Barack’s biggest claim-to-fame on foreign policy is that he voted against the war in Iraq, while Biden voted for it. On the other hand, McCain constantly refers back to the fact that he was for the surge, which has worked so […]

Jonathan Brink was pretty impressed, last week, with something Sen. Obama had to say about sacrifice. If we pretend like everything is free and there’s no sacrifice involved, then we are betraying the tradition of America. I think about my grandparents generation, coming out of a depression, fighting world war 2. They’ve confronted some challenges […]

I was interested in this post which revisits a familiar topic, namely, the wife who doesn’t treat her husband with the godd*mned common courtesy you’d extend to a drunken bum pounding on your front door at one o’clock in the morning. I think we can all admit, it’s a situation far more familiar in day-to-day […]

These according to Politico: He’s fixing for a fight. Obama has been criticized as being slow to react to attacks. As Karl Rove said, he now has an attack dog at his side. However, if anyone has observed Joe Biden for any length of time, Biden has a penchant for going too far and saying […]

Lynn Sweet has posted some good pix she took of what things look like so far at the Pepsi Center, home to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. One in particular struck my eye: Greg Pollowitz’s caption: “We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him” That sounds about right. I’m not […]

Time to take a break from the exciting Joe Bide…..zzzzzzzzzzz. Huh? Oh, and delve into the insanity of anthropogenic global warming. This looks fun In northern Greenland, a part of the Arctic that had seemed immune from global warming, new satellite images show a growing giant crack and an 11-square-mile chunk of ice hemorrhaging off a […]

“How many Democrats does it take to lose the most winnable election in American history?” Do you ever think about how many consecutive presidential elections Democrats have characterized as “the most winnable election in American history”? I would say that would include every single election that a Republican has won since since after 1980. (No […]

Right now, you might be saying “Teach, are you drunk? Have you drunk the liberal kool aid? Or, are you just a bit fetched in the head?” Maybe a bit of 1 and 3, but, let’s think about what the pick of Biden brings. There is not much point in going over what so many […]

Dan Riehl asks, did Obama just lose the election? It will be an easy win for McCain if Obama keeps making slips like this one “Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly superior to us now, which means if you are a corporation deciding where to do business you’re starting to think, “Beijing […]

Barack Hussein Obama, United States Presidential hopeful, friend of American Terrorists and con men, communist sympathizer and UN brown noser has a “lost” brother. He actually isn’t lost. He lives in a hut in Nairobi and has been quoted denying kinship with Barack when asked about having the same last name. He denies kinship because […]

Something very peculiar is happening at the AP, so much so that I think someone might be sneaking something into the AP water supply. Why do I say this? Because of the almost bizarrely objective series of articles the AP published on the occasion of Obama’s announcement that Joe Biden was going to be the […]

… we’ve got Obama’s Presidential seal, volume two. It’s under images: Did he not learn the last time? Did the selection of Joe Biden just heap more arrogance into the campaign? Or does he simply still feel like the Presidency is an inevitability for him? Then again, the normal rules about controlling your ego and […]

There was a shooting at a school in Tennessee, where a 15-year-old freshman walked calmly up to another student, and shot him in the chest. He then walked away. This is a horrible tragedy, obviously, but a blogger, Katie Allison Granju (never heard of her until now) has figured out why this happened. It’s because […]

The non-news story of the day: Barack Obama has selected Joe Biden to be his running mate. Yawn. Sen. Barack Obama has selected Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate, according to his official Web site and a text message the campaign sent to supporters on Saturday. “Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to […]

Not as cool as his famous YouTube video (“You’re a thug. He’s a thug. Your boss is a thug…), free speech activist Ezra Levant’s new radio interview is still as entertaining, inspiring and educational as you’d expect. Among many other things, he discusses the Canadian pastor who’s just received a lifetime ban on quoting certain […]

Well, this should be a hoot! If Obama has indeed picked Joseph Biden as his vice presidential running mate, what a gift to punditry! Let’s see . . . Biden’s claims to fame include repeated plagiarism AND being rude and condescending AND being a bit of a gaffe machine AND being prone to logorrhea (or, […]
