Year: 2009

Let’s get this over with: Glenn Beck called President Obama a “racist.” If you care, click here. *** Controversial talk radio host Michael Savage now claims he was banned from visiting the U.K. because he is Jewish — and he might be onto something. Documents obtained as part of Savage’s lawsuit against the British Home […]

Pure self-inflicted political damage, from The One who is supposed to be the nation’s premier political genius. Much discussion about a sit-down taking place. Not a single word about what was supposed to be said, what in fact was said, what came of it, who feels all warm and fuzzy about it who didn’t feel […]

Me, in the e-mails, elaborating on the brilliance I showed yesterday morning: If, when we as individuals make dumbass decisions, we can expect to deal a severe injury to ourselves but to none of our neighbors — then we have the makings of a free society. If, on the other hand, our reprehensibly bad judgment […]

That headline makes our chosen topic sound oh so much more exciting than it really is. A one-day moratorium is being announced for August 4 on a bunch of guy-centered online mags, like this one and this one and this one and this one, against anything related to the sexpot star of Transformers movies. Well, […]

Sarah Palin has been the target of the left from the very day she walked onto the public stage, and their venom continues on. The problem is, they don’t like being exposed, and now that they’ve been, they’re crying foul and one of the whiners has brought her issues to my door (via email)… Subject: […]

A July 25 L.A. Times blog piece is a perfect example of the anti-liberty left that I have talked about previously, those who would dictate from government on high how we are to lead our lives in order to deserve the government healthcare that we all pay our taxes to provide “for free” to everyone. […]

A young soldier, or perhaps an ex-soldier, does a little educating of the politicians at a meeting with Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) or her staffers. And he’s right: And check out the reception he gets. [Crossposted at QandO]

What do you get when a left-wing magazine catering to self-hating Jews features one of the most unhinged moonbats in Hollywood? This: From Heeb’s bizarre puff piece on the shrill leftist Roseanne Barr, who thinks she might be the reincarnation of Hitler: As the “Domestic Goddess” dons the famous moustache, transforming into “Domestic Goddess Hitler,” […]

Or at least stop throwing around terms you don’t understand, such as “fascist.” In response to my column on Townhall today, I received this charming e-mail: Wow! The fascists of the Republican party really did a good job of brainwashing you. You WILL grow up! Anyone who actually reads should know that fascism is a […]

Now, why in heavens sweet name would citizens be upset about the government? Could it be: The economy stinks and the stimulus is a big flaming ball of disaster. From Calculated Risk: This is the fourth consecutive quarterly decline in GDP; the first time that has happened since the government started keeping quarterly records in […]

From the New York Times, this headline: “U.S. Economy Shrank Less Than Expected in Quarter”. Here is the content of the article: Things are so much better than expected, blah, blah, blah. Economists agree, blah, blah, blah. Advisers close to President Obama are cautiously optimistic blah, blah, blah, and tout the government policies, blah, blah, […]

Doctors hate the paperwork associated with government run health care. It is oppressive and can be criminal if done wrong. Just think IRS applied to health care paper work. Yeah, daily misery. I talk about more over at Pajamas: Doctors go into the business of helping people. When the business of helping people becomes purely […]

Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn has had a lot to say about Barack Obama of late and not much of it is good, “Right now we are more afraid of Washington than we are of the economy. We’ve got people on our backs saying don’t go to Las Vegas which is preposterous,” Wynn said. […]

Since I’ve decided to attack The Young Turks, they invited on their show tonight to debate them on socialized medicine.

Apparently, it is shovel ready, but, not for the bridges that actually need repair (why does “shovel ready” bring a farm like conotation to mind?) Tens of thousands of unsafe or decaying bridges carrying 100 million drivers a day must wait for repairs because states are spending stimulus money on spans that are already in […]

The shocking thing about this story is that it should be shocking, but, is just par for the course when dealing with the AGW greenies* Dozens of elementary school students in Cirebon, West Java were injured after the ceiling of their classroom collapsed on Wednesday. Subagja, a fifth-grade teacher at SD Negeri Kramat III Cirebon, […]

As I said repeatedly during the campaign: Obama only appears “cool” and “even-tempered” because he’s never challenged. His “vetting” by the media consisted chiefly of juicy-mouthed nether-kissing. It’s not difficult to appear “cool” under those circumstances. Anyone who freaks out and goes to pieces because he’s being praised too much is a lunatic. — Ace […]

To be conservative is to be betrayed on a regular basis. You send your kids to a school that tries to slyly indoctrinate them into liberalism, you come home to watch an “unbiased” news show that covers almost every story differently based on whether a Republican or Democrat is involved, and then you try to […]

There is a major drawback to blogs, the Internet, even up-to-the-minute cable news. Oh, it isn’t a drawback specific to those venues but it is one that makes itself felt sooner and with a woeful result there. I call it “the next big thing factor.” It is that state of being so hungry to post […]

The ROTFLMAO news that the “Cash For Clunkers” program has gone broke in barely a week was a new example of a very old truth: I’m reminded of something P.J. O’Rourke once said, in regard to “affordable housing”: Every time the government promises to give you something for nothing, imagine the result if you tried […]

One of the reasons we’ve reached a tipping point between freedom and welfare statism is because much of the country pays no taxes and increasingly the burden of taxes is being shifted to a smaller and smaller percentage of the population. Now I’m not a tax advocate by any stretch. But it is obvious we’re […]

Apparently this never occurred to the profligate fools in Congress who go along with Obama’s deliberately disastrous Cloward-Piven economic policy, but there are limits to how much the government can borrow: The U.S. Treasury sold $39 billion in five-year debt Wednesday in an auction that drew poor demand, raising worries over the cost of financing […]

Time to locate the nearest Lowe’s. From OneMillionMoms.com: According to the Nashville Gay Pride website, Home Depot gave over $5,000 to be a major sponsor of its 2009 Gay Pride Festival in June. But simply financing the event wasn’t enough for the big box chain. Home Depot also signed on as a vendor, conducting kid’s […]

The Left is furious with the Blue Dog Democrats for not voting their way on health care — yet. These comments from Maxine Waters seem to be fairly typical of the liberal sentiment that’s coming from the netroots, Blasting the seven fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats who are stalling the reform in the House Energy […]

One of the most important stories you won’t hear today is being reported by Debra Burlingame in the Wall Street Journal: On June 17, at the Administrative Maximum (ADX) penitentiary in Florence, Colo., one of those albatrosses, inmate number 24079-038, began his day with a whole new range of possibilities. Eight days earlier, the U.S. […]

Hi guys, I see that you’re having a discussion about weight loss [at MelissaClouthier.com]. It’s not a burden to the website. Thought I’d share a couple thoughts and you guys can continue the discussion: 1. Often, there is an underlying issue around why a person gained weight. A physical trauma like a busted knee that […]

This article about Dan Rather pleading with Obama to save the news industry tells you a lot about what’s actually wrong with the old media if you read between the lines, Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather called on President Barack Obama to form a White House commission to help save the press Tuesday night […]

Q. 15 Now, I am going to read you a list of concerns people have. Please tell me which ONE of these you the President and Congress should be paying the most attention to Dead last. And this poll came from NPR, not usually known for their ne0-con leanings, Climahysterics! (via Tom Nelson) A view […]

The Hill has once again put out their 50 most beautiful list and as always, their rankings are a bit screwy. This year, moreso than usual, there seems to be a lot of average looking people on the list. So, just as I did last year (Winner: Ivy Larsen), I decided to cut it down […]
