Year: 2009

More constructive criticism aimed at idiots who are too dumb to ever take it: (See part 1 here) America’s colleges: Why is it that it seems like every former terrorist, communist, and kook with an IQ over 100 seems to be able to get a job teaching our kids in a university? Meanwhile, Jay Leno’s […]

Way back during Hurricane Ike, I spent a day sifting through the history of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and came to the conclusion that Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and a few others deserved the lion share of the blame. Schumer particularly rotted my socks because he had the unmitigated gall to write […]

All sorts of opinion is out there concerning PEBO’s desired stimulus package. I pick Jonathan Cohn’s over at the Plank because it pretty much covers what I want to cover. For instance: The general consensus among left-of-center economists these days is that government spending, rather than tax cuts, represent the most efficient way to fight […]

Possibly the most shameful moment in Spanish history came when Spain reacted to the Muslim terror attacks of March 11, 2004 by rejecting Jose Maria Aznar in favor of the groveling dhimmi Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. But Aznar is still around, proving there’s hope for Spain yet. Here he is on the farcical Obamessiah phenomenon: […]

How to satisfy those maternal urges after you’ve aborted your inconvenient, Gaia-afflicting children? Simple: buy a doll. Many people like to stop and play with newborn babies, but now some adult women are playing house with fake babies. Some women are even going as far as taking day trips with the fake babies to the […]

I can hardly bear to read and hear the news. Israel had been fired upon by Hamas, again, and this time, Israel decided, again, to do something about it (pictures here). As usual, everyone in the world, except, it seems, American conservatives, believe Israel shouldn’t defend her children. They blame Israel for having the temerity […]

There has been a lot of back and forth about America’s dependence on Middle-Eastern oil, but Europe’s dependence on Russian oil is bringing the whole European Union to its knees, The heads of the Russian and Ukrainian gas companies held a surprise meeting today after the EU gave Russia 24 hours to restore gas supplies. […]

Did the United States spin off into some alternate universe of infinite money, record surpluses, and incalculable opulence when I wasn’t looking or are we actually spending more than a billion of our tax dollars to help people upgrade their televisions? The Federal Government has run out of money to help analog TV owners go […]

Earlier this week, I released the The 7th Annual “20 Most Annoying Liberals Of 2008.” That was my opinion, but now I want to see yours. PS: Keep in mind that you have to be registered in order to vote. So, if you’re not registered, go ahead and register — it’ll allow you to vote […]

Yesterday, I posted The 40 Most Obnoxious Quotes For 2008. However, there were some fairly obnoxious quotations that didn’t quite make the grade and it seems a shame to just let the runners-up go down the memory hole. So, without further ado, here are those that didn’t quite make the cut for the 40 most […]

Some of my favorite Twitter posts from the last few days… @anamariecox Okay this is a lesson I was slow in learning: If you hate dealing with FB friend requests, do not mention FB account on primetime cable. @DrewCurtis just saw a guy trying to haggle at Kroger. Worked out about as well as you’d […]

“This is what the victory of Barack Obama means for women: We are all fair game.” (Cross-posted at The Other McCain.)

Okay, they call it “plan B”, but you get the point. This is some seriously desperate, and goofy, stuff. Written by Steve Connor, the “Science Editor” and Chris Green for The Independent, it takes you deep into the warping effect AGW has had on “science”. An emergency “Plan B” using the latest technology is needed […]

Who was I kidding? One of my hidden fears was that this sentiment would reign: Some, who won’t be quoted by name, even suggest that Feinstein aims to establish her clout as an influential player on intelligence issues – and as a key voice from California – as Obama takes office. Panetta, they note, has […]

Our new 111th Congress is in session, and straight away it has taken bold action to show us how serious politicians were about all those promises of change. Its first order of business: a measure to suppress energy production in Wyoming, build an extravagant road to nowhere in Alaska, and blow $1 billion of our […]

Too bad CO2 doesn’t really cause global warming. Then we could warm things up by cranking out more of it. But then, that might ruin the ice skating off the southern coast of England: Temperatures plunged so low today that the sea actually began to freeze as Arctic conditions continued to grip the UK. In […]

A Democratic Party crisis averted? Roland Burris, the man appointed to Barack Obama’s Senate seat by embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, will be allowed to take the seat, according to the Associated Press. Spokespersons for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin are denying the report. Burris showed up in Washington for […]

Back in October, I noted that the New York Times might be headed towards bankruptcy in the near future based on a post my pal Cara Ellison made back in August. “Cara correctly predicted that the New York Times would be downgraded to junk, but is she correct that the paper is destined to collapse? […]

A lot of people scoff at that old saying, “Money can’t buy you happiness.” Granted, poverty won’t buy you any happiness either, but money isn’t a cure all for people’s problems. The difference between the rich and the poor is that the rich just end up with a different set of problems. Poor Adolf Merckle […]

Ericka Anderson quotes Laura Bennett who says: I just want to let the food Nazi moms in on what happens when your kids come to a house where junk food inhabits the pantry. They have no decision-making skills or sense of moderation when faced with the forbidden fruit roll-up. Like deprived animals, they are determined […]

The site went live this morning and there’s nothing (yet) that knocks me out, but it’s a work-in-progress. I interviewed Andrew Breitbart last month: The content of “Big Hollywood” will be a “constant evolution,” Breitbart says. He recalls that the Huffington Post was originally conceived as a group blog for Arianna’s celebrity friends, but has […]

The government is hungry for money. And it is looking for innovative ways to get it. However, they don’t want to take it from you directly. You see that’s political suicide. So when we hear about the great 300 billion middle class tax cut that the Obama administration is so graciously planning on granting, we […]

As if Hamas weren’t enough of a problem, the Jewish state has now been confronted by QUIT — Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism. Among the SF Bay area group’s demands: That the U.S. Government immediately end all financial and military aid to Israel. That the Israeli Government end its racist policies of harassment and exclusion of […]
