Year: 2009

Barack Obama’s pick for his new “climate czar”, Carol Browner, is an odd choice for this influential post. Not because her radical views about global warming and economics don’t line up perfectly with the latest far Left fads, but because her background is marred by incidents of racial discrimination that happened on her watch at […]

Yeah, you really should put down what you’re doing and go read up. If, after skimming, you don’t agree it was worth your time to do so, I can pretty much promise you weren’t doing anything worthwhile when you got interrupted. It was written by one F. A. Hayek between 1940 and 1944, and effectively […]

Here’s the Right Wing News guest blogger line-up this week-end. Saturday ——– Bookworm from Bookworm Room Cassy Fiano Kathy Shaidle Five Feet Of Fury Gaypatriotwest from GayPatriot Morgan from House of Eratosthenes Gina Cobb John Stephenson from Stop The ACLU Little Miss Attila Cassandra from Villainous Company Sunday ——- Ron Coleman from Likelihood of Success […]

Here is your brain on liberal fiscal policies: California’s controller says he will begin a 30-day delay on tax refunds and other payments starting Feb. 1 because the state is running out of money. The solution, of course, isn’t to cut spending, scale back on largess and live within one’s means. The solution is to […]

Apparently Obama has decided Osama is no big deal. Or, “Gosh, those Bush guys weren’t so dumb afterall”: Barack Obama suggested last night that removing Osama bin Laden from the battlefield was no longer essential and that America’s security goals could be achieved merely by keeping al-Qaeda “on the run”. “My preference obviously would be […]

One thing you can count on in American journalism: No matter how tight their budgets, no matter how many staff layoffs may come, editors will always find money to send a feature writer out into the sticks to write — in the manner of National Geographic reporting on a neolithic Borneo rain forest tribe — […]

You have to wonder what Freud would make of the moonbat obsession with bodily functions. They advocate making do with one square of toilet paper and want to ban flush toilets. Lefty bubblehead Drew Barrymore took a “poo in the woods hunched over like an animal” and described the experience as “awesome.” Now this: The […]

Everywhere you turn, moonbattery is in your face. Check out this design for water bottles: These are called the Bottle of M. M stands not only for moonbattery, but also for meltdown, because if you don’t recycle your water bottle, the polar ice caps will melt, and the cute polar bears and penguins will drown. […]

Paul Krugman has conclusively proven that the mainstream and the fringe have become one in the same on the left by encouraging Obama to try to jail the Democrats’ political enemies in the Bush Administration, Last Sunday President-elect Barack Obama was asked whether he would seek an investigation of possible crimes by the Bush administration. […]

This post is definitely going to be over-the-line or more aptly, below the belt, but sometimes you just have to do who what you gotta do. In this case, my lovely and talented pal, Ann Althouse, came across a piece of Obama kitsch over at The New Republic that just has to be seen to […]

I was pleased to get an opportunity to interview Tony Blankley about his new book, American Grit: What It Will Take to Survive and Win in the 21st Century. While I don’t agree with everything Tony had to say, most particularly on the draft, I think that he raised a lot of worthy points and […]

Just consider this to be constructive criticism aimed at idiots who are too dumb to ever take it. The Anti-Prop 8 mob in California: How bizarre is it to see gangs of angry, atheistic, liberal homosexuals in California — who seem to spend 98% of their free time lecturing everybody else in America about tolerance […]

His name? Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger, III, a former USAF F-4 pilot. What did he do? Deadsticked an A320 Airbus into the Hudson River after he lost power in both engines due to birdstrikes and made a perfect landing. The crew then took charge and got the 150+ passengers out of the aircraft and […]

I got a bit nauseated yesterday listening to all the talking heads tell us over and over the obvious talking point that Timothy Geithner made an “honest mistake”. Really? How honest of a mistake is it when you knowingly ignore something your employer went out of its way to ensure you knew? The IMF did […]

Finally, it arrived: Guilty: Liberal ‘Victims’ and Their Assault on America by Ann Coulter, which I had been told referenced moi. But I’m not in the index, and there’s no report of that night we hung out at Shelly’s Backroom Tavern. Hmmmm . . . So I start skimming the endnotes, beginning at the back […]

One fewer Briton has to worry about just how crazy it’s going to get over there before people rebel against the insane regime of totalitarian moonbattery. A deaf and half-blind grandmother died at age 91, stressed to the point of physical collapse after bureaunazis forced her to take out a second mortgage to pay a […]

Since the Moonbat Messiah’s pick for Secretary of Transportation, fellow Illinois pol Ray LaHood, has no qualifications other than a cozy relationship with the Teamster’s Union, The One might want to consider going instead with the truly visionary Alfie Carrington — aka, the moon man: The Macomb County [Michigan] moon man stood next to his […]

Beware the “fixers”, the tinkerers, the fiddlers when it comes to the economy: But the whole idea of fixing, running, regulating, designing, or modeling an economy rests on the notion that, if the right smart guys are at the rheostats, the economy can be ordered by intelligent design. But the economy is no mechanism. There […]

How big of a deal is it that there are gay people serving in the military? From Repurblican: There are Americans of many stars and stripes that are in our Armed Forces, and among the many things President-elect Obama could do to really attack our Services — such as characterizing military operations in Afghanistan as […]

Here’s a little experiment that I wanted to try. 10 comments, on 10 issues, with 250 characters or less per comment. * Republicans shouldn’t vote to confirm Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. She has too many scandals and too many conflicts of interest. * There’s no way Eric Holder or Tim Geithner deserve to […]

There are a few things that I, as a conservative, believe about culture. 1) All cultures are not equal. 2) American culture, despite its flaws, is the best of them. 3) When other people come here to live, they need to drop their old culture and adopt ours. Many people, particularly liberals, don’t believe those […]

Maybe it’s just me, but this story should be a screaming front page headline in every newspaper in the country that isn’t so broke that it has had to already stop putting out a print version on Thursdays, Mexico is one of two countries that “bear consideration for a rapid and sudden collapse,” according to […]

Judge Roberts and the rest of the conservative justices on the Supreme Court (along with Kennedy) deserve a big pat on the back for this ruling, The Supreme Court said Wednesday that evidence obtained after illegal searches or arrests based on simple police mistakes may be used to prosecute criminal defendants. The justices split 5-4 […]

Somehow or another, Kathleen McKinley from over at RightWingSparkle always seems to be the person who finds these pictures of a naked Barack Obama riding a unicorn, Where do you even go from here artistically? Hmmm…this would be a tough act to follow. Oh wait, I’ve got it! Naked Barack Obama playing poker with a […]

No immediate closure of Gitmo and now this? The leftoids must be about to explode: Since the November election, however, the U.S. and Iraq have signed a new security agreement that provides for all the more than 140,000 U.S. troops to leave by 2012, despite concerns among senior U.S. commanders that Iraqi forces might not […]

So my sister takes me to her place of employment. It’s winter break, and unlike in the United States, Australians just take off for a couple weeks through the holidays. The few people at the office the fam and I get to meet. My sister reminds us to behave, to be gracious and introduce ourselves […]

Mickey Rourke — in the news for his performance in “The Wrestler” — has given the moonbats who dominate Tinseltown a body slam, even daring the ultimate blasphemy of defending President Bush: President Bush was in the wrong place at the wrong time, I don’t know how anyone could have handled this situation. I don’t […]
