Tragic news: former Frenchman in Chief Jacques Chirac has been mauled by a fellow neurotic poodle: Former French President Jacques Chirac was rushed to a hospital after being mauled by his pet dog who is being treated for depression, in a dramatic incident that rattled the ex-president’s wife. The couple’s white Maltese poodle, called Sumo, […]

To no one’s surprise, this didn’t take long: U.S. President Barack Obama may order a hold on a proposal issued in the final days of the Bush administration to expand offshore drilling in previously banned areas, an Interior Department official told Reuters on Wednesday. … Separately, the Interior official said the department’s plan to develop […]

If you’ve eaten breakfast already, you may want to hold off on watching this video for a while in order to prevent projectile vomiting. So, all these celebrities are going to cure Alzheimer’s, buy hybrids, end global slavery, and be a servant to our President and all mankind! That’s fantastic….but, is there a reason you […]

One thing conservatives have been telling people over and over again is that if you legalize gay marriage, you’re not just legalizing gay marriage; you’re legalizing a host of other weird marriage practices as well. Across the world, men marry multiple women and people marry their relatives, their pets, the dead, and even trees. If […]

I did a short interview with CrossAction News on the danger of prosecuting the Bush administration, the inauguration, and Obama’s appointees that you can hear here.

Well Europe finally has the US president they want and how do they say “boy are we glad you’re the man?” France’s defence minister on Wednesday appeared to rule out any immediate reinforcement of French troops in Afghanistan if requested by Barack Obama, the new US president. Hervé Morin said deploying additional French forces to […]

It’s no surprise that a man who went to Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years has his advisers trying to figure out how to racially discriminate against white people with government largesse, but it is surprising that they’re this open about it. Courtesy of Michelle Malkin, here’s Robert Reich, The stimulus plan will create jobs […]

“There is simply no excuse for United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts bungling the presidential oath of office to such an extent that Barack Obama might need to do it again, at least in private, to ensure the legality of his inauguration. Roberts should be impeached and removed from office for this unforgivable […]

One of the reasons so many foreigners wanted Barack Obama to become President is that they think he’s a small, weak pansy who cares more about making bureaucrats in Europe like him than he does about looking out for his own country. Incidentally, they have Obama’s number. Joe Biden certainly understands that’s true. It’s why […]

At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

The government can’t save you. But you can save you. Is life really that bad out there? I still don’t believe America is anywhere near the misery of the 1920s and 1930s. I actually think Americans are still relatively wealthy. Even with cutting back, people have accumulated so much stuff, unnecessary stuff, that a couple […]

A swing voting, independent friend asked me what I hope President Barack Obama accomplishes. Before launching, I would note that, unlike the the hard-core Left four years ago, I do view President Obama as my President. And I do hope he succeeds. It all depends on how you define success that is the key. More […]

Normally it’s good for politicians to listen to their constituents. But this is far from the case for Chairman O, whose supporters bubble over with idiotic ideas, as evidenced by the notions they expressed at Change.gov, a site that allowed the gibbering hordes of Obamatrons to provide their input. Comments are closed now, and the […]

Obama isn’t the only historic first in the news. Portland’s Sam Adams is the first publicly homosexual mayor of a major city. He recently admitted to sexually molesting an underage intern. You never heard the story? That could be because Adams is a Democrat, and the child he molested is a boy — so most […]

My latest column at Taki’s Magazine: It was one of those headlines that automatically gets a Drudge link: “Wealthy men give women more orgasms,” the Times of London declared Sunday. Before we launch our “Win a Dream Date With Taki” promotion, however, let’s pause to ponder the gap between what the headline said and what […]

Steve Benen at Political Animal approvingly quotes Adam Serwer’s take on the Obama inaugural speech, and is sure an “era of maturity” has been ushered in to being. Call me a skeptic, but some of us really have our doubts given what we’ve seen previously from those supposedly ushering in this era: Another reminder of […]

It’s easy to deal with your political opponents when you agree with them. For example, if Barack Obama wants to win the war in Iraq, kill Al-Qaeda, cut the capital gains tax, make abortion more difficult to get, etc., etc., that’s an easy decision. You don’t vote down a policy that you support just because […]

Happily, I didn’t bother to watch the pomp and pageantry of Obama’s inauguration. However, I certainly did read up on it and as per usual since Obama has come on the scene — despite the fact that the press hailed it as the most wonderful event in human history, it was chock full of incompetence, […]

Somewhere, some talk radio host or blogger probably noted that America is a republic, not a democracy, and from there on out an annoying meme was created. Now, any time someone refers to America as a democracy, people come out of the rafters, bushes, and weeds to let you know that, “American is a republic, […]

Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal comes this chart of presidential popularity, Two things worth noting. #1) Only Nixon was less popular when he left office than W. — and not by much. Additionally, only Truman has fallen farther than George Bush. With that in mind, please don’t tell me how Republicans should adopt his […]

When last we heard from Natalie Dylan, she was auctioning her virginity online and bidding had reached $3.7 milion. Now, it appears, Xtreme Radio hosts Kevin McCullough and Stephen Baldwin may have convinced her to keep it: Last night, quite late in the evening, and on the show, the girl who has pledged to sell […]

Yesterday, I was chatting with a friend of mine who was having a rough time and that person asked me why I am always so happy. It’s not the first time I’ve been asked that, but it was the first time I had ever given a coherent enough answer to use for a post. What […]

A line from President Obama’s inaugural speech: With old friends and former foes, we’ll work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. A fact concerning President Obama’s inaugural celebration: According to an article in Bloomberg, as many as 600 private jets were expected to touch down in […]

The tragicomic era opening up before us is going to require some new additions to the dictionary, compliments of Daniel Cirucci: Obamunists— Formerly known as socialists, they will be the engine that drives Obamanomics. They will build new bridges to socialist Europe and the rest of the redistributive world, teach us to accept Canadian-style health […]

Throughout his life, the Moonbat Messiah has chosen the company of communists. But now he finds himself surrounded by capitalists, who will resort to even the tackiest extremes of kitsch to make a buck off the glassy-eyed fools who have allowed the media to whip them into hysterical adulation. Check out some of the products […]

From my latest American Spectator column: Eight years ago today, I took my daughter Kennedy to see President Bush’s inauguration. The weather was miserable, a cold drizzle of sleet and rain falling for most of the day, but that was of little concern to a dad taking his 11-year-old to watch a moment of history. […]

I always advise people not to put too much stock into stories based on anonymous Washington sources because as often as not, they’re either distortions of the facts or outright lies designed to move some bureaucrats agenda forward, but if this turns out to be true, it’s really scary, Pakistanis view damage of a blast […]
