Year: 2009

Media Matters was just bursting with pride yesterday. The liberal watchdog group had caught Fox News using “GOP talking points” as their own research. I scanned the piece from top to bottom, looking for a report about inaccuracy in these GOP talking points. Failing to find that, I looked for an insinuation that any of […]

Thanks to Texas Rainmaker for this one. This mindset continues to confuse me… 1. Conservatives aren’t good people because we’re greedy. 2. Liberals aren’t like us, they aren’t greedy; that makes them better people. 3. Once elected to positions of power, liberals make the country better by making a bunch of wonderful new rules and […]

The print media leans hard-left. If you haven’t noticed this yet, you’ve been living in a cave. If you’ve gone through the motions of inspecting it and you have concluded something different, you are a shill; you have some kind of an agenda, personal or professional, and it has very little to do with the […]

Hat tip: XtnYoda, via Rick, via Gerard. Get ready to start paying your Sun-That-Does-It tax. You said it was change you could believe in… US Energy Secretary Steven Chu has floated the idea of a carbon emissions tax to fight global warming, in an interview with The New York Times Thursday. During the US presidential […]

“We had to destroy the village in order to save it.” One of the most persistent myths of the Vietnam War concerns that sentence, supposedly uttered by an American general to excuse a massacre. It quickly came to symbolize the absurdity of war and has by now become a cliché. However, to invoke another cliché […]

Someone on Twitter suggested that the news reports of the impending American demise will quickly right itself as soon as the Stimulus gets passed. “Hallelujah! We’ve been saved!! Praise Jes..I mean Obama!” In the meantime, I think this may be closer to the reality. We’ll be sinking soon, but it will be a beautiful trip […]

The other entity who got us into this financial mess has no problem whatsoever about using the equivalent when necessary or convenient while lecturing others about their insensitivity to the times: A government plane will ferry Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) back to Washington from his mother’s wake in Ohio in time to vote tonight, courtesy […]

If you’re — say, a union thug, forge voter registrations for ACORN, or are some sort of environmental wacko — you know, the sort of people who are benefitting from the violation of America that is this stimulus bill, you may want to drop a few extra bucks on this rather unique eBay auction, EXPERIENCE […]

Are you in love with a staffer on Capitol Hill, someone who works at a think tank, or a dorky blogger who keeps boring you to death talking about the stimulus? Well, then today’s your lucky day because you can give them the false impression that you understand what they are talking about most of […]

Moonbats have rightly been held accountable by the public for the severe bushfire situation in Australia: Angry residents last night accused local authorities of contributing to the bushfire toll by failing to let residents chop down trees and clear up bushland that posed a fire risk. During question time at a packed community meeting in […]

If we are to bring about Change, we must erase our errant past — to protect the children, of course: It’s hard to believe, but true: under a law Congress passed last year aimed at regulating hazards in children’s products, the federal government has now advised that children’s books published before 1985 should not be […]

Given the state of the economy, particularly in California, you’d think that liberals would be thrilled to have another business set up shop in San Francisco. You’d be wrong about that — and oh, how wrong you’d be, It is too easy to make fun of the people who packed Room 400 in San Francisco’s […]

I can’t help but think that had Republicans stuck with core principles during their time of unchecked power, America wouldn’t be where she is today. The Republicans ruined their brand by these actions: 1. If you’re going to fight–beat the hell out of the opposition and get it over with. [Iraq, Afghanistan] 2. If you’re […]

Have you seen the Octo-Mom’s baby bump? Holy Moly! Of course, the key question here is: When does Andrew Sullivan accuse her of faking her pregnancy to cover up for someone? Update #1: From the comments section, “Seriously you need to give us some warning about pictures like this, it was a good thing that […]

As the details of the compromise stimulus package come out, most will find plenty to not like. For instance, those stimulative tax cuts for 95% of Americans: Q: What are some of the tax breaks in the bill? A: It includes Obama’s signature “Making Work Pay” tax credit for 95 percent of workers, though negotiators […]

What’s next? I’ll tell you what’s next… The mother of the octuplets! The mother of the octuplets! and I use the word “mother” loosely. This isn’t a mother! This is an incubator of the octuplets. No mother in her right mind would bring kids into a situation like she had. She had 6 kids, she […]

A Jewish Swede showed up at a ski resort in Kashmir, India with an Arabic sticker on his skis reading “In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, most merciful.” He says his Muslim wife gave it to him for luck, and he put it on his equipment by accident. Local Muslims weren’t buying it. […]

It didn’t take the Moonbat Messiah long to start sliding in opinion polls, but here’s a poll liberals can take heart in: only 67% of us think we could do a better job ourselves than the Dems running Congress. A surprising 19% believe corrupt socialist fools like Nazi Pelousy and Dingy Harry Reid know better […]

Throughout the Bush years, we heard liberals incessantly speculating that Bush would institute fascism in the country or that he had become far too powerful. Now, we’ve got Barack Obama in the White House, and Terry Moran from Nightline is basically urging Obama to engage in one of the most dramatic and nefarious power grabs […]

…Does anybody think this is particularly healthy for our country and helps lead to better, more efficient, more honest government for the American people? John Dingell sets an all-time all-American new record for sitting in the House of Representatives. The 82-year-old Michigan Democrat has been sitting in the same place now for 19,421 days. Dingell’s […]

Two roads lead to rebuilding the Republican brand and neither road can do it alone. One road starts with the Republican National Committee and Chairman Steele’s leadership on things such as funding truly conservative candidates, withholding support from less principled leaders (hello Arlen Specter), being a more public face, changing the primary schedule so liberal […]

Setting aside the fact that no nation that has a national debt should be funding art in the first place, stories like this one have a lot to do with why so many conservatives oppose using government money for art projects, Dogs do the darndest things.They poop, they hump and they sniff in all the […]

Some conservatives have been visibly annoyed by Julio Osegueda, the obsequious college student who looked like he was ready to drop to his knees and worship Obama at a town hall meeting, Now this kid is being given the star treatment, The Edison State College communications major said he has received interview requests from MSNBC’s […]

Since I’m like the wired mom on crack (although I’ve met far worse tech heads than me on Twitter, I’m a piker), I shared how my travel experience went with all the technology in my latest Pajama’s article. Here’s a taste: Some people yearn for a more innocent time — you know, the agrarian past […]

Last year, I put together a group of Political Valentines for Valentine’s day. This year, since it falls on a Saturday, if I do a list at all, it’ll be coming out tomorrow. So, why not suggest a few political valentines for me to put together? It would definitely help me out…
