Year: 2008

“No matter who we elect to Congress and as President, they are still stuck with some realities. There’s a long historical perspective pdf file up at OMB, and the following figures are taken from tables 8.3 and 8.4, whch are on pages 140 and 141. Since 1962, national defense spending has shrunk from 9.3% of […]

Moonbats will side with any enemy of America, not just Muslims and communists. For example, Mexico has been waging a potentially devastating demographic war against the USA, which Mexicans call the Reconquista. Naturally liberal clergy are bending over backwards to facilitate the invasion: CHICAGO — Everyone knows where Flor Crisostomo lives, even the federal immigration […]

Some of Obama’s comments to La Raza: The system isn’t working when a child in a crumbling school graduates without learning to read or doesn’t graduate at all. Or when a young person at the top of her class – a young person with so much to offer this country – can’t attend a public […]

This woman consented at 18, no problem: Full disclosure (or is it oversharing?): I entered into a relationship with an older man when I was 18. I knew what I was doing, and frankly, I would have known what I was doing at 17 or at 16. But since this wasn’t a Romeo and Juliet […]

Here’s the press release from the Government’s Office of Thrift Supervision (as an aside, what an awesome name) via LA Times: “The OTS has determined that the current institution, IndyMac Bank, is unlikely to be able to meet continued depositors’ demands in the normal course of business and is therefore in an unsafe and unsound […]

The New Yorker’s lengthy new piece on B. Hussein reveals his initial reaction to September 11. In a speech given a few days after the horrific terrorist atrocities, Obama makes excuses for the perpetrators, comes to the defense of Muslims, and implies that more American taxpayers’ money should be flushed down the Middle East and […]

A TV show in Britain is causing a controversy because they’ve portrayed a member of a certain religion decapitating a member of another religion for religious reasons. Read all about it, A BBC drama has triggered a barrage of complaints after it showed gruesome images of a Muslim being beheaded. Bonekickers, about a group of […]

The LA Times has a section full of reader submitted signs. This one really stuck out, Honorary mention: this one was pretty creative, too.

I’m not sure if this tool was designed to be used to mock Obama or whether it’s just a happy accident that it works so well for that purpose, but either way, it makes some great Obama campaign posters,

On Feb of 2007, RWN released an interview with Dennis Avery, the co-author of Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years. The first interview with Dennis Avery was one of my all-time faves because I have never talked to anyone who does a better job of quickly and precisely demolishing the alarmism and silliness of the […]

I’m heartbroken to hear of Tony Snow’s death. Here was a man whose life could teach something to all of us, conservative and liberal alike. Now that he has passed after his fight with cancer, America has truly lost one of its classiest, most encouraging, and humble figureheads and role models. And as silly as […]

In case any New Jersey residents were thinking that the selling of our state roads for quick cash had died after public opposition, I’m afraid it’s wishful thinking. The state’s beloved Governor Corzine has made it apparent that he will stop at nothing to squeeze his own constituency for all we’re worth, whether it be […]

I’m glad we have the media around to tell us these things Global warming has added more crunch to the existing fatal consequences of the increase in the number of malaria cases, thereby fuelling the need for lifesaving vaccinations to those in need, says an expert. Experts are concerned that the drastic changes in the […]

It ain’t easy being Green. Or being anti-White and anti-Semitic. But former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, after being chosen by the Green Party to be their Presidential candidate, has managed all three: CHICAGO (Reuters) – The U.S. Green Party, which captured far less than 1 percent of the vote in the last presidential election, chose former […]

Back on July 8th, I mentioned the Democrats are going to be having Platform meetings from July 19th to July 27 (which is a good way to keep the unhinged off the streets), to come up with the Democrat Party platform. I was not particularly nice about it Apparently, Senator Neophyte isn’t capable of actually […]

Ezra Levant — the Canadian publisher sued by an imam for publishing the “Mohammed” cartoons — addressed the Congressional human rights caucus yesterday. Among other things, he advised them to put Canada on a watch list for human rights abusers, because of our censorious “Human Rights Commissions”, who’ve been going after everyone from Mark Steyn […]

Amazing stuff these bright guys who represent us come up with: A top Democrat told high school students gathered at the U.S. Capitol Thursday that climate change caused Hurricane Katrina and the conflict in Darfur, which led to the “black hawk down” battle between U.S. troops and Somali rebels. No. Really. I mean what is […]

The Feds “seized” IndyMac, the loosey-goosey mortgage lender: IndyMac will reopen fully on Monday as IndyMac Federal Bank under Federal Deposit Insurance Corp supervision, but tensions ran high as customers at a branch at its Los Angeles-area headquarters read a notice in the window saying it was closed. At another branch down the road, a […]

We’re seeing the third largest bank failure in United States history today with the seizure of IndyMac by federal regulators (emphasis added): IndyMac Bank, a prolific mortgage specialist that helped fuel the housing boom, was seized Friday by federal regulators, in the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history. IndyMac is the biggest mortgage lender to […]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Life is short. He struggled against colon cancer and lost the fight. Tony’s humor and humanity stood out in whatever role he played. I delighted in his sparring with the press when he was Press Secretary. I delighted in his sparring with politicians in his role at […]

In the end, what do we really have but the legacy we leave and the glory of God that we imperfectly reflect? Tony Snow has reached the end of his battle with cancer. Tony Snow, the former White House press secretary and conservative pundit who bedeviled the press corps and charmed millions as a FOX […]

Well yeah, to a degree I agree. That was what Sen. Phil Gramm said yesterday about Americans. He also said for many it is a “mental recession”, meaning that to this point they’ve not suffered the results of an actual recession, but have adopted the attitude prevalent during a recession (and, I suppose, help it […]

Note to the haters: John wants me to blog about popular culture and current events and unless you have your head buried in Barack Obama’s backyard, the iPhone is BIG news. So I’m including a little review, as I am an iPhone lover. Buy one, people, you won’t regret it. Well, folks, I upgraded to […]

It is one of the longest wars America has fought, and it has been completely within our borders. On January 8, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson declared “all-out war on human poverty and unemployment in these United States.” This “all-out war” would last through the presidencies of Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George […]

Some outside perspective on the looming election, from Australia: Obama says he will reach across the aisle to bring about big changes. Rubbish. What he is banking on is big Democratic sweeps through Congress that deliver him power not only in the White House but wide majorities in the legislature as well. Obama’s appeal should […]
