Year: 2009

Have you entertained the notion that holy matrimony ought to involve members of opposite sexes? Then you just might be a “dumb bitch,” according Perez Hilton, a gatekeeper of our increasingly repugnant pop culture. [Carrie] Prejean, a blonde student, was one of the favourites to win the Miss USA title at the pageant held on […]

Now that the global warming hoax has caused science to be subsumed by hard left politics, anything is possible. The latest revelation from the liberal government/media/academia establishment: being overweight causes climatic catastrophes: Scientists warned that the increase in big-eaters means more food production — a major cause of CO2 gas emissions warming the planet. Overweight […]

I have been a fan of “24” since the first episode of season one and have never missed an episode in seven seasons. For a couple of seasons I liveblogged the show and I wrote an essay about the series for a book last spring. I don’t own any “24” tee shirts or other “gear” […]

During McCain’s tedious, frustrating campaign season, Meghan McCain’s blog shone as a bright spot. Her cute behind-the-scenes pictures and sunny outlook made me like John McCain just a little more. Like many conservative-libertarian types, I held my nose and voted for the man believing that he would be a less-bad alternative to Barack Obama. I’m […]

What do you do when your son wants to drop out of college and become a basketball star? When your best friend wants to take her estranged husband back after he walked out on her and moved in with his girlfriend…for the fourth time in three years? When your daughter wants to become an emancipated […]

Why would he do that? Let’s check the New York Times headline for the answer US threatens Eritrea over support for al-Qaeda-linked terrorists The US has warned Eritrea it risks American military action for its support for a Somalian terrorist group linked to a plot to attack President Barack Obama. Ah. If I was a […]

Is everyone in this administration punch drunk? First we had being giddy enough while discussing terrible economic news during a 60 Minutes interview that the reporter asked if he was punch drunk, then we had Hillary cackling over the pirate situation, and now we have Link: Partial transcript from Jake Tapper, who got involved in […]

Just a heads up: I’m taking the equivalent of a blogging half day. My Townhall column is live, but I won’t be doing any more posts today. However, filling in for me will be Lorie Byrd, Morgan Freeberg from House of Eratosthenes, B. Daniel Blatt from GayPatriot, and Ron Coleman from Likelihood of Success. Give […]

First of all, I know this column isn’t going to be popular with all the mouth breathing, troglodytic, primitive dittoheads out there. But, facts are facts: conservatives are NEVER, EVER, EVER going to get back into power again. The mainstream media says so, legendary conservative icons like David Frum, Meghan McCain, and David Brooks say […]

“Real poverty . . . is never to be recommended. Impossible to live a thoughtful and productive life if one is locked into a cycle of unremitting drudgery which would entail the end of literature and music, romance and adventure, and everything good. It isn’t poverty I wish, but rather the end of the sort […]

Well, here’s one decision the Obama administration can be glad they made – boycotting this mess: As Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for the eradication of Israel in his address to the United Nations anti-racism conference which opened it week long event in Geneva on Monday, delegates walked out, hecklers wearing clown-wigs shouted ‘racist’ towards […]

Only someone who has the media in the tank could brag about cutting $100 million from a $3.5 Trillion budget. Please rate on YouTube.

In the sort of fawning puff piece than now passes for journalism, Obama’s toadies at AP have paid him the highest compliment they know how by comparing him to communist dictator Mikhail Gorbachev: While historic analogies are never perfect, Obama’s stark efforts to change the U.S. image abroad are reminiscent of the stunning realignments sought […]

Even as our socialist rulers prepare to cripple the economy and intrude in every corner of our lives in the name of the global warming farce, and the mainstream media’s relentless barrage of alarmist propaganda continues, only 34% are dim-witted and/or gullible enough to think human activity is making it be too warm out. From […]

Just because I’m curious…

The recurring question after the Tea Parties has been “what now”? Yesterday, I returned from the Sam Adams Alliance encouraged and more optimistic than I’ve been in a while about the direction of things. First, the winners of the awards are doing excellent work. Chad Everson of the GrizzlyGroundswell.com is empowering others in many states […]

If you want to know why conservatives think taxes are far too high, why tea parties have sprung up across the country, and why the government can’t be trusted to run private companies, take a look at this story. This sort of corruption, inefficiency, and incompetence is endemic to everything that our government does, The […]

I don’t know how I missed it last week, but George Will wrote what may have been the single most unintentionally funny conservative column that I’ve seen since I started blogging. It was called Demon denim, a name that he probably lifted from the 1920s campaign against “Demon rum.” On any American street, or in […]

President Barack Obama didn’t just greet Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez, he gave him the hood handshake and the warmest smile he’s managed with any foreign leader. It’s not just that he shook hands with a socialist leader who is currently bankrupting his country, destroying the economy and cozying up to dictators and tyrants around the […]

A.C. Kleinheider wrote a piece for The City Paper called The Tea Party revolution will likely be betrayed. Here’s an except from Kleinheider’s piece that gives you the gist of it, While many on the Right are energized by the level of engagement on display by grassroots libertarians and conservatives in last week’s “Tea Party” […]

I really wish those in the MSM would learn what the difference between a wiretap and electronic surveillance is: Wiretap Recorded Rep. Harman Promising to Intervene for AIPAC Rep. Jane Harman , the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she […]

I love when the Credentialed Media disguises opinion as actual news. Of course, since bloggers tend to ignore Associated Press content because of their lack of wanting to share without payment, it took several days before someone actually noticed the missive, and linked it over at Fark, which usually catches things quicker: Gay Marriage: The […]

The global cooling trend that began early in 2007 continues. America’s official global reading for March, 2009 has been issued by Goddard Space Institute. The month was the coldest of this young century and colder than March of 1990. The satellite records show an even stronger recent cooling trend. Equally interesting, Goddard says this year’s […]

Byron York writes about the Bush speechwriter responsible for the term “Axis of Evil,” and his reflections on whether it fits today. Recently I called David Frum, who is a friend and also the Bush speechwriter who came up with the “Axis” concept. (He originally wrote it as “Axis of Hatred.”) Given the seriousness of […]

“President Barack Obama learns that walking an active puppy wearing leather soled shoes with your daughter in the way can be difficult.” See more on First pets at The Telegraph. (BTW, I am laughing with him, not at him. Who hasn’t learned what a handful a puppy can be? I don’t think the British press […]

A level of economic government intrusion is now being contemplated like none we’ve ever seen before. If you didn’t understand the one of the main purposes of the tea parties, perhaps this will help. But what Obama rarely says about ending the “cycle of bubble and bust” is this: he’s prepared to intervene to make […]

She’s trying to play down a feud she had a few days ago…and the best way to do that, in her young ditzy mind, is to warn of an upcoming civil war within “her” party. Meghan McCain warned a group of gay Republicans Saturday that there was “a war brewing in the Republican Party” – […]
