That’s the question that ABC News, as well as others, are asking, after a new report has come out Routine screening for prostate cancer has resulted in more than 1 million U.S. men being diagnosed with tumors who might otherwise have suffered no ill effects from them, U.S. researchers said on Monday. They said prostate […]

Feeling sorry for the rich and famous isn’t something I do very often, especially when it’s a celebrity bimbo like Kourtney Kardashian. But when she found out she was pregnant and all her scumbag friends were telling her to have an abortion, she went online and found some pro-life Web sites: “I was just sitting […]

Looking at the Left demonstrates how our rulers attempt to manufacture consent with excellent coverage of the spectacle staged by Organizing for America in Denver Friday. A few pictures tell the general story. Here they come — the Dems’ version of spontaneous grass roots activists: In case anyone actually believes that Dems aren’t after “single-payer […]

Even CNN has dropped the absurd lie that Comrade Obama’s rule is going to mean lower taxes for anyone: The more the country lives on a credit card, the more it makes itself beholden to the demands of its creditors — many of which are overseas. The danger is that buyers of U.S. debt could […]

Nationally, Americans are beginning to again trust Republicans over Democrats on taxes and the economy. The overreach in spending and the constant Democratic drum beat of wanting to raise taxes on “the rich” to pay for a massive enlargement — and engorgement, really — of big government has dug into the high approval rates that […]

Paul Krugman is a Nobel Prize Winning economist. That means, he should know better than to essentially say that the deficit doesn’t matter. In fact, I believe he does know better and is writing things he doesn’t really believe about economics for politics’ sake. But, Paul, Paul, Paul — such a tangled web we weave, […]

Sarah Palin will be jetting to Hong Kong to talk finance: The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday. Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan have spoken at the event, hosted by brokerage and investment group […]

Glenn Greenwald kvetches about one of the Bush twins getting a TV gig on NBC’s Today show. There are dynasties in America wah! This wouldn’t sound so ironic if his bellyaching didn’t come on the heels of Kennedy’s love fest. Will a Kennedy replace Teddy? The world waits with bated breath. Wait, no they don’t. […]

The Chamber has the Sierra Club running like the little Nancy girls all liberals are with their Climate Trial idea. The Sierra Club now has a petition calling for companies to resign their memberships in the Chamber if they do not drop the idea. This is the letter that will be sent (well, email, probably) […]

Right Wing News emailed more than 250 right-of-center bloggers and asked them several questions. The following 74 blogs responded, 101 Dead Armadillos , The Absurd Report, David All Group, And Rightly So, Argghhhh!, Bad Example, Basil’s Blog, BitsBlog, BizzyBlog, Bookworm Room, Bright & Early, Bull Moose Strikes Back, Cold Fury, Confederate Yankee, Conservatism Today, Conservative […]

If the NY Times keeps up these kinds of stories about Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC), they will turn him into a star in the Republican Party: Fighting Health Care Overhaul, and Proud of It Senator Jim DeMint, the South Carolina Republican who predicted that President Obama‘s effort to overhaul the health care system would become […]

If this isn’t the perfect example that liberals don’t care who has to die in order to make sure that left wing policies win the day, then nothing does. We can see this prime example in Eric Zorn’s horrid August 28 editorial where he thanks … well, whatever deity leftists believe in, if any… that […]

This should be theoretically devastating news for Democrats in Congress, and the Republicans along with them. But while the GOPers are learning their lesson, albeit at about the speed that Ted Kennedy took in reporting the accident at Chappaquiddick, Democrats just have no idea. They either don’t get it or they don’t care. Obama’s poll […]

Yesterday, regarding the WaPo’s “Torture worked” story, Andrew Sullivan found it necessary to write: They (the WaPo) have described John McCain’s experience in Vietnam as torture, and yet what he endured was nothing like as brutal as what was done to KSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed). That right there was a stupid thing to write. Worse […]

The Washington Post reports: Morale has sagged at the CIA following the release of additional portions of an inspector general’s review of the agency’s interrogation program and the announcement that the Justice Department would investigate possible abuses by interrogators, according to former intelligence officials, especially those associated with the program. Wow, I can’t imagine why […]

An economist is saying that President Hoover set the stage to worsen The Great Depression because of his pro-labor union stance. Pro-labor policies pushed by President Herbert Hoover after the stock market crash of 1929 accounted for close to two-thirds of the drop in the nation’s gross domestic product over the two years that followed, […]

It’s not exactly surprising that the left would use the death of a prominent Democrat political figure in cheap attempts at gaining a political advantage. After all, we saw it with the Paul Wellstone memorial service and the Coretta Scott King funeral. In fact, the left has shown that they will not just use the […]

This is a video rebuttal to a viral video going around the internet pushing socialized medicine. Please pass this around to everyone you know, email, facebook etc. I have 100,000+ views to catch up to really quickly. Thanks.

It’s a shame that the Washington Post doesn’t say what pages of the print version their Internet article appear on, as the NY Times does, because this is rather important information, which was listed at the bottom of the Internet front page under “other news” Morale has sagged at the CIA following the release of […]

Are you a union member trying to find out information of the criminal actions and shady financial dealings of your union? Well don’t expect Obama and his toady in the Labor Secretary’s office, Hilda Solis, to help you uncover any illegalities perpetrated by your union bosses. Solis’ department has just announced that it is suspending […]

So the WaPo says “the CIA’s harshest interrogation methods” helped turn Khalid Sheik Mohammed into a guest lecturer, teaching Al Quada 101. Speaking in English, Mohammed “seemed to relish the opportunity, sometimes for hours on end, to discuss the inner workings of al-Qaeda and the group’s plans, ideology and operatives,” said one of two sources […]

The journalists of Indianapolis want us to feel sorry for them. See, they’ve voluntarily signed a contract that includes a 10% pay cut and precludes raises during this contract’s 2 year term. And they are whining about it. In a day when papers are failing all across the country, the guild members of Indy journos […]

My friend Zhombre was at the bookstore perusing the shelves when he came across a Penguin Press book entitled “The Inaugural Address, 2009.” That’s well and good. I’m sure there are some in America who want to clutch this banal speech as tightly to their chest as Chinese citizens were forced to do with Mao’s […]

They’re talking about it, at least, but they’re still in denial. Writing in the Chicago Tribune, Eric Zorn is grateful that the modern media blanket didn’t exist in 1969. If it had, Kennedy’s career might have…gasp…ended! Was it just as well that we didn’t — couldn’t — have a media feeding frenzy over Chappaquiddick in […]

What boycott? As I’ve said all along, the Glenn Beck boycott is backfiring. First off, the group behind the boycott, Color of Change, keeps targeting big companies – most recently, RadioShack — that have never had anything to do with Glenn Beck’s FOX News show. Other advertisers have decided to pull their ads from ALL […]

The news lines are aflutter with the fact that the Vatican has kept mum about Kennedy’s death. This is scarcely surprising given that Kennedy, although raised a Catholic, took (and sought to use his political power to impose on America) political positions that are anathema to the Church: Edward Kennedy, it can be said, was […]

Obama spouted a maudlin mess about Kennedy today. He didn’t even bother to mention by allusion to Kennedy’s “flaws” that little problem at Chappaquiddick: Today we say goodbye to the youngest child of Rose and Joseph Kennedy. The world will long remember their son Edward as the heir to a weighty legacy; a champion for […]

Ted Kennedy is being feted by the left as a liberal icon, the liberal lion of the Senate and the new reason for passing health care insurance reform. Within a few weeks we’ve seen Democrats and the left shift from cost containment (blown away by the CBO) to appeals to religion (blown away because religion […]

The internet ain’t no place for the innocent. It’s the wild west around these parts, with infrastructure still being built and social feedback loops yet to fully developed. There is little policing, few laws. At times, it can feel like an ominous town, with bad guys sizing you up from under their ten-gallon hat–just waiting […]
