Year: 2009

What better way could there be to mock Al Gore than to create an ice sculpture of him, shivering away the winter months as once again, for the 11th year in a row, global warming fails to materialize. Al Gore can thank the Nobel Committee for honoring him with last winter’s Nobel Peace Prize. He […]

Since liberals are soon going to be in charge of the country and I like this country, I thought I’d give them advice so they don’t screw things up too much. * No matter how much he looks like he needs one, never give a murderous dictator a hug. * If you bomb enough of […]

Today is a great day…to be a liberal, to be a Democrat, and to be naive. Barack Obama is one of the least accomplished men, perhaps even the least accomplished man ever to become President of the United States. He did nothing of note as a community organizer, nothing of note in the Illinois State […]

Modern liberalism shows remarkably little concern for freedom, democracy, and the will of the people if it’s not politically expedient, but now some of the most influential members of the Democratic Party are starting to drift towards outright fascism with the suggestion that members of the Bush Administration should be jailed once they leave power. […]

An unrepentant terrorist was turned back at the Canadian border – so where’s the story? An American education professor, one of the founders of a radical 1960s group known as the Weather Underground, which was responsible for a number of bombings in the United States in the early 1970s, was turned back at the Canadian […]

Just in case you think the world will finally be saved once all the Boomers are pushing up daisies, I have bad news for you: they spawned. The Boomers had kids who call themselves, without irony, “Generation We”. Here’s their video: Generation WE: The Movement Begins… from Generation We on Vimeo. Tiresome, self-congratulatory and preening….wow, […]

The Ascension of The One isn’t until tomorrow, but the permanent reelection campaign is already underway. “Organizing for America,” a brownshirt army that The One promises will “continue fighting for change in your communities,” will have a budget of $75 million, apparently funded from outside the government.. Via Politico: La Times describes “Organizing for America” […]

FDR was a marginally competent, socialist quasi-dictator who is remembered as a great president because he was in office during World War II, which jolted the country out of the depression his leftist policies had been worsening for years. Because he did more than any other president to permanently hamstring our economy, Roosevelt is worshiped […]

To be honest, I didn’t think that George Bush was going to do the right thing and pardon Ramos and Compean. He didn’t do it when Republicans in Congress were raising hell about it, he didn’t do it when he could have benefitted politically from it, and he has never given the slightest inclination that […]

How long can the Obasm last? That’s the question before us and that’s the question that provoked spirited debate among some friends this weekend. Friends argued that the honeymoon would be short because Obama wouldn’t be able to keep his promises, that the economy would stink, and that people are fickle. Voters turn quickly when […]

Is this really a huge shocker? Eric McFadden was the founder of Catholics for Kerry, a group which proudly proclaimed that Catholics should support John Kerry notwithstanding his support for abortion. After the election McFadden went on to bigger and better things when he was appointed by Ted Strickland, pro-abort Democrat governor of Ohio, in […]

Zimbabwe was once one of the rare success stories in Africa. How much of a success story? We’re talking about an African nation that was actually exporting food. Then Robert Mugabe came along and he did something extraordinarily foolish. Here’s a RWN post from Megan McArdle back in mid-2005 describing what happened, When Robert Mugabe […]

Speaking of politicians, in a letter to the editor, a reader of the New York Times grumbled: “It’s amazing that Andrew Cuomo, who owes his whole career to his dad, may not get the Senate seat of Hillary Rodham Clinton (who owes her whole career to her husband) because David Paterson (who owes his whole […]

People keep comparing Barack Obama to Abrahan Lincoln — which is an enormous insult to a great man like Lincoln. Lincoln is not famous for talking a good game about hope and change or for being from Illinois; he’s famous for what he accomplished. He freed the slaves, won the Civil War, and preserved the […]

It is not an inauguration so much as it is an “inaugurasm”. Today I caught a quote from Putin about Obama: “The biggest disappointments arise out of big expectations”. Whatever you think about the Russian Prime Minister, he has got it right. — Sullihan, a commenter at Pajamas Media

If Al Gore is AGW’s “Hysteric-in-Chief”, James Hansen has to be the VHIC. And he’s out with the newest doomsday “runaway greenhouse effect” prediction in one of coldest winters in a few decades: Barack Obama has only four years to save the world. That is the stark assessment of Nasa scientist and leading climate expert […]

Just when you were starting to believe that Liberals were compassionate, mostly because they tell you this non-stop to brainwash you, well, not so much CNN correspondent Soledad O’Brien wants this dog gone. The newswoman and other members of a Chelsea co-op board are trying to evict a beloved family pet from a swanky loft […]

Every year around Super Bowl time I post an item about the NFL’s overzealous efforts to impose a gridiron grip on all aspects of its somewhat valuable SUPER BOWL trademark: In 2007, the NFL tried to claim ownership of the euphemism of choice for the Big Game, THE BIG GAME Later that year, someone picked […]

Maybe the AP’s been reading Newsbusters, the blog that was the first to notice the hypocrisy between how the AP treated Bush’s 2005 inauguration and Obama’s. AP writer Matt Apuzzo makes up for lost time in a piece published today with the headline “Obama hosting pricey party in a dicey economy” (via Wizbang): WASHINGTON – […]

Whatever happened to the good old days when people who got tats gone one that said “Mom” or the name of your husband/wife? Or just a cool design? Maybe something that showed you served in the US Military? This is nothing new, the Cult Of Barry, which is soon to make The Audacity of Hope […]

Israel runs out of fish in the barrel: Israel called off its three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, saying Hamas was “badly beaten,” but the Islamist group vowed to fight on in a war that has killed 1,200 Palestinians in the coastal enclave. Within minutes of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announcing that a […]

WSJ has the accounts of some passengers from Flight 1549 who held onto a life raft that was trying to escape the scene, and we now have video of the landing. If I’m getting this right, the vid that AllahP posted is from the New Jersey side of the river; the plane comes into frame […]

As the price tag for the Democrats’ stimulus packages continues to climb, even as the federal governmetn faces a record budget deficit, I ask Obama supporters, who have such hope that their man will change things in Washington, if they can provide any evidence of such hefty stimuli actually providing anything more than a short-term […]

John asked me to cross-post a piece or two on Saturday. Glad to share this piece (slightly revised) which first appeared last night on my blog. –Dan On Thursday evening, while pounding away on the Stairmaster at my gym (the only place I watch MSNBC), I was “treated” to forty-five minutes (the length of my […]

The San Francisco Boys Chorus and the San Francisco Girls Chorus are heading to D.C. to sing at the inauguration. I had the opportunity to hear them perform yesterday at San Francisco City Hall, and their singing is just beautiful. They look lovely too, in their crisp uniforms — although it is funny the way […]

Decided five months ago, decision made public this week. Obviously in a desperate attempt by this lame-duck President to re-make his public image so he can selfishly trample away on our Constitutional rights in the last hours of his presidency: The New York Times reported: “A federal intelligence court, in a rare public opinion, issued […]
