Year: 2009

After years of whining that we need to get to the truth behind everything George Bush has done, and some actual panels investigating things such as firing attorneys he was legally entitled to fire, when a Democrat is faced with putting up or shutting up, things go a bit differently The drumbeat over how much […]

I hear people asking about this fairly regularly, so I wanted to do a post to address it. #1) Keep in mind, Obama’s approval rating has dropped from what it was in the post-election “Ding Dong, Bush is gone” stage. Moreover, many of the pollsters are polling adults, which skews the polls to the left […]

John Cornyn and the NRSC have never had the slightest problem asking conservatives to give them money — but, that’s as far as it goes. They don’t want to hear from you. You see, in their view, your job is to hand them your money and then shut your mouth and do as you’re told. […]

Over at Live Person, which is a nifty website that lets you pay per minute to talk to experts in just about everything, I ran across one “expert” whose services were just so exceptional that I had to write about them. His name? mOOn mOnkey. His cost? $2.85 per minute. His services? “Having uneasy feelings […]

Our government prevented attacks and saved lives through the Terrorist Surveillance Program, which let us intercept calls and track contacts between al-Qaeda operatives and persons inside the United States. The program was top secret, and for good reason, until the editors of the New York Times got it and put it on the front page. […]

Don’t you just want the President to shut his never-ending, pretentious, blathering yapper? Everyone says he’s a great speaker. Really? The man bores me absolutely to tears. He reminds me of my insufferable, cranky and addled Histology teacher from college. Holy crap, cell biology was more interesting than this mitochondrial exhausting man. Look it up. […]

David Axelrod, Obama’s senior adviser talking about the appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice and the Constitution: President Barack Obama began interviewing potential Supreme Court candidates Tuesday, while a senior White House official defended the president’s stated preference for a nominee who will give the powerless “a fair shake.” White House adviser David Axelrod […]

Blind squirrel James Hansen — a hysterical global warming profiteer who has repeatedly pushed phony data while advocating prison sentences for those who question the “climate change” farce — has finally found a nut: Why is this cap-and-trade temple of doom worshipped? The 648 page cap-and-trade monstrosity that is being foisted on the U.S. Congress […]

This sounds familiar: Representative Jesse Jackson Jr.’s congressional campaign organization has paid his wife at least $247,500 since 2001, including at least $95,000 after Sandra Jackson joined the Chicago City Council two years ago, according to federal election records. Jackson’s political committee also gave at least $298,927 in cash and in-kind contributions to Sandra Jackson’s […]

Florida Senate Endorsement Causes GOP Grassroots Rebellion WASHINGTON, DC, May 21 – Conservative activists are sparking an online grassroots uprising in response to the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s decision to endorse Charlie Crist in the 2010 Florida Senate race 15 months before the GOP primary for the seat currently held by Republican Sen. Mel Martinez. […]

Barack Obama has nominated Harold Koh to be the State Department legal adviser to the full Senate. Koh’s views are virulently anti-American and run directly counter to the Constitution, but unless something changes, a man who does not have this country’s best interests at heart is going to be in a position where he can […]

Over spend, take in too little income. You have two choices: Cut spending or increase income. Since California doesn’t want to increase income, the choice is to cut spending or go bankrupt. Here’s a thought: How about cutting spending? I know. I know. It’s so obvious, it might just work. Or, you could go bankrupt […]

At best, what Barack Obama did at Chrysler was a grotesque abuse of power and at worst, it was a criminal act that merits his being put in a cell next to Duke Cunningham. The President of the United States should not be using billions of taxpayers dollars to maneuver his political allies into the […]

(moonbat on) If Barack Obama had ever served in the military, maybe he wouldn’t be so callous about sending American troops to their deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq. How many funerals of the men he has sent to their deaths has Barack Obama attended? Guess he’s too busy stealing the Iraqis’ oil and trying to […]

This was unexpected In a sweeping order Wednesday, President Barack Obama called for a rollback of Bush administration regulations designed to protect companies from product-liability lawsuits in state courts. The memo didn’t name specific industries but it could affect a wide range of consumer products subject to both federal and state regulation. Companies have long […]

Looks like the age of Hope ‘N Change hasn’t changed the opinions of members of the religion of peace The FBI and NYPD busted a four-man homegrown terror cell Wednesday night that was plotting to blow up two Bronx synagogues while simultaneously shooting a plane out of the sky, sources told the Daily News. The […]

(BUMPED; UPDATES BELOW) St. Petersburg Times reports: Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer, facing intense and growing backlash over meddling in the U.S. Senate primary, is backing off. In a letter to party supporters [Wednesday], Greer defends his actions but said the party is now “neutral” in the contest between Charlie Crist and Marco […]

“The big mistake of Republican leadership is thinking that going through the motions of listening to their ‘base’ is the same thing as actually listening to the base. They keep trying to drag us to where they think we should be instead of joining us where we are.” — Yael If candidates who believe in […]

Is it too big to fail? Megan McArdle believes the possibility certainly exists (I mean was Arnie really in DC yesterday just to see the sights). Says McArdle: If the government does bail out the muni bond market, how should it go about things? The initial assumption is that they’ll only guarantee existing debt. Otherwise, […]

What is the response to the economic devastation wrought by Cap-n-Trade, that the Democrats know will come? Welfare, of course! Here’s what’s buried inside the bill: Title IV, Subtitle B, Part 2, Section 426, of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, which states; An eligible worker (specifically, workers who lose their jobs […]

Recently, James Hudnall at Big Hollywood chose the top five reasons that political correctness – the form of mass psychosis that recently put an unqualified Marxist community activist in the Oval Office — must die. Now he tells us how to kill it in five easy steps: 1. Honesty: The Miss California incident showed one […]

The WSJ offers a preview of the impending socialized medicine train wreck: Last week the Medicare trustees reported that the program has an “unfunded liability” of nearly $38 trillion — which is the amount of benefits promised but not covered by taxes over the next 75 years. So Democrats have decided that the way to […]

This morning, I was a bit surprised to get an invitation to a teleconference with Senator John Cornyn, the head of the NRSC. There was nothing about the Charlie Crist endorsement mentioned in the email, but obviously, that was the issue everyone would want to talk about. So naturally, I wrote back and said I […]

If you want to know why the NRSC’s endorsement of Charlie Crist was such a blunder, just click here.

Here is the final video in my video critique. I hope you enjoyed the series. Please rate them on YouTube. Enjoy!

Arnold Schwarzenegger ran on a platform of fiscal conservatism and social liberalism, but like most other politicians who sell themselves that way, he quickly abandoned any and all pretenses of financial responsibility. As a sidenote, that’s very common. Many people falsely believe that social conservatives tend to be fiscally irresponsible — and while such animals […]

I do cover the trash tabloid beat and when I saw that the Globe said Michelle Obama and Oprah were at each other’s throats, well, I was already there. After reading this article, you will be, too. Here are the juicy details which, given that this is the Globe, have about a 20% chance of […]

John Bolton lets loose in an opinion article over at the Wall Street Journal: Get Ready for Another North Korean Nuke Test The curtain is about to rise again on the long-running nuclear tragicomedy, “North Korea Outwits the United States.” Despite Kim Jong Il’s explicit threats of another nuclear test, U.S. Special Envoy Stephen Bosworth […]
