Year: 2009

Of course part of the huge and porky “stimulus” bill was billions to Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) program. Of the the past beneficiaries of that program has been our old buddies at ACORN. But, you say, the election is over – ACORN can’t collect taxpayer money for fraudulent voter registration anymore. Never fear, ACORN […]

In a brainwashing project that ought to tug on liberal heartstrings, schoolchildren have been encouraged to address prayers to Chairman Zero. A touching example: I would appreciate it if you would try to make this a greener planet and try to bring home the troops and end the war. I am very luckey because I […]

Dissident Chinese blogger Xu Lia has been knifed: Xu Lai, the writer behind Pro-State in Flames, was speaking at the One Way Street bookshop in Beijing on Saturday afternoon when he was attacked, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported. He had been speaking for a couple of hours and was answering questions when a fracas erupted. […]

“Genuine bipartisanship,” he wrote, “assumes an honest process of give-and-take, and that the quality of the compromise is measured by how well it serves some agreed-upon goal, whether better schools or lower deficits. This in turn assumes that the majority will be constrained — by an exacting press corps and ultimately an informed electorate — […]

Since our foolish, weak President who believes he can solve all problems simply via his sheer wonderfulness took office, there have been some extremely alarming developments that may have an enormous impact on the war in Afghanistan. A couple of weeks ago, I noted that, “The “Stans” Side(d) With Russia Over Obama. The timing of […]

Despite what some people seem to think, because it’s so complex, economic issues tend to be very non-intuitive and difficult to predict. You could easily put together four Nobel prize winning economists and not only find that none of them agreed with each other on certain real world issues of extreme significance, but that none […]

If we want to fix what ails the Republican Party, it’s worth taking a few moments to diagnose what went wrong for the Party while acknowledging what the Democrats did right. In other words, once we’ve diagnosed the disease and figured out how another patient overcame similar problems, we can start to get the GOP’s […]

My latest Townhall column is up and it’s called Six Reasons Deficits Will Doom The Dems In 2010. Here’s an excerpt from the column, Throughout his first term, Obama will be constantly pushing truly massive new spending projects. More banking bailouts, the auto bailout, bailouts for other industries, socialized medicine, pork ridden budgets, global warming […]

As the NY Times reports today in an article about Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke’s trip to the Middle Eastern region: Mr. Obama has said that he will reach out to Iran for direct talks, and last week the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said that Iran was ready. The two nations have not spoken directly since […]

Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of the Speaker of the House, has an HBO film deal — I mean, wow, what a coicidence, huh? Time/Warner has only given $7.1 million to Democrats since 2000, making 82% of their donations to Democrats in the 2008 election cycle. So HBO pays Alexandra to make a documentary about the election […]

Obama’s Venezuelan prototype is now potentially dictator for life: President Hugo Chavez says a referendum victory that removed limits on his re-election is a mandate to intensify his socialist agenda for decades to come. Opponents warn of an impending dictatorship. … With the courts, the legislature and the election council all under his influence, and […]

…this is what they’ve been reduced to publicly crying about. The head of the Colorado Springs NAACP is crying foul after a picture of President Obama was removed from a sign at the Peterson Air Force Base commissary. …The Defense Commissary Agency, which oversees the store, says employees took it down after customers complained that […]

Members of the previous administration aren’t the only ones the corrupt leftist thug and Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee John Conyers wants taken to task for countermoonbattery. Now he’s after Joe Arpaio, the Arizona sheriff who has heroically stood up to liberal quislings as he defends the Phoenix area from Mexican colonization. Specifically, Arpaio […]

Have you seen the Barack Obama coins, which are being hawked by none other than Montel Williams, and are from the very official sounding U.S. Coin Network? Those coins? Well, if you bought that coin set for $19.95, congratulations because you just bought $2 worth of US coins with Barack Obama stickers on the front. […]

My blog friend Robert Stacy McCain sent me a link to his latest article, where he admonishes a young man for his blown chance at a suitably smart hottie. He probably thinks I am never going to link his piece, but that’s not true. I’ve been pondering it, instead. Robert’s article coincides with a dear […]

Former white supremacist radio host, Hal Turner, is back with another violent missive. As you may or may not remember, Turner, who is most definitely “cuckoo for coco puffs,” has been mocked on RWN before for talking up the patriotic assassination” of members of Congress back in 2006, is now planning the aftermath of his […]

After getting our behinds handed to us throughout the last few election cycles, it’s evident that the Republican Party has many opportunities to grow and improve. For me, watching the Obama campaign win over and over in the technology arena was especially frustrating. The tools to influence and encourage, teach and reach out, raise money […]

Glenn Thrush wrote a piece called, “The 7 stimulus lessons for the Dems,” that does a good job of summing up the rather bizarre view the Left seems to have of “bipartisanship.” Over and over, Nancy Pelosi and her allies privately delivered the same message to Barack Obama: Mr. President, you can have bipartisanship or […]

Seldom does Lindsey Graham deserve plaudits, but this was a truly great quote about the stimulus package, “The average taxpayer’s gets to get $8 of tax relief, but their children get $1-trillion of debt.” — Lindsey Graham

Lite fare for your evening entertainment. Marketing Shift finds out something interesting about the new Pepsi marketing style (besides the gawdawful Obambi style logo) During your last trip to the grocery store, you may have noticed a few changes in the soft drink aisle. If you’re a fan of Pepsi, Mug Root Beer, Sierra Mistor […]

You’ve just witnessed the unimaginable – Congress passes a 789 billion dollar pork-laden spending bill disguised as a “stimulus” bill and they may be contemplating “Unimaginable II”: Despite the enormous size of the $787 billion stimulus plan, some economists worry that it won’t make a big enough dent in unemployment and that lawmakers will have […]

The NY Post reports that at the same time President Obama was pushing to get the stimulus passed by the end of the week last week – which meant that not one member of Congress had the time to fully read the bill they were voting on – he was planning a three day Valentine’s […]

The United Nations is not real fond of mercury Environment ministers must crack down on mercury poisoning to protect the health of hundreds of millions of people worldwide, the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP) said on Sunday. “A clear and unequivocal vision of a low mercury future needs to be set,” UNEP head Achim Steiner said […]

We were glad to see Bendreth appreciated our thin-book collection, so we decided to take an inventory of everything on that part of the shelf. Fortunately, they’re all together. We have to keep these that way, because if they’re scattered among the thicker ones, it can be really hard to find them again. 1. Movies […]

My latest column at Taki’s Magazine: As Valentine’s Day 2009 arrives, the desperate real-estate salesmen of Glengarry Glen Ross are an apt metaphor for the romantic plight of our age. Plenty of prospects out there — there are some 24 million women ages 18-29 in the United States — but guys can’t seem to close […]

“All seductions begin by flirting. Flirting is the key which turns the engine on. It is as simple as that. Without flirting you cannot seduce, and without seduction the race becomes extinct.” — Taki Theodoracopulos (Cross-posted at The Other McCain.)

It amounted to a do-over for tax-cheat and guy-who-runs-the-I.R.S. Timothy Geithner. For Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner as much as for the troubled government program to bail out the financial system, Tuesday amounted to a do-over. Initial reviews for the man and his plan were not good, however. Stock markets slid through the day, perhaps […]
