If the Democrats thought the Central Intelligence Agency was out to get them over the past few weeks, they ain’t seen nuttin’ yet after this little bit of insanity House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today accused intelligence officials of giving her “inaccurate and incomplete information” on the use of waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics by […]

Why not just wrap us all up in bubble wrap and bottle feed us? “We like credit cards — they are valuable vehicles for many people,” said Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, the chairman of the Senate banking committee and author of the measure now being considered by the Senate. “It’s when these […]

Compliments of Aaron S. Recently Democrats and their mainstream media enablers have been plumbing new depths by hyping the phony waterboarding scandal. This accomplishes numerous apparent objectives, which make sense only if the Left is evil and insane. It casts the USA as the bad guys and the terrorists as put-upon victims. It provides propaganda […]

A sexually perplexed freakazoid calling himself Debbie Davies has demanded that British taxpayers cough up the enormous expense of deforming him into a nightmarish, Island of Doctor Moreau facsimile of a woman. To get his way, Davies has gone on a hunger strike. Whimpers Davies: By no means do I want to end my life […]

Ace of Spades has a round-up of very gloomy economic forebodings. Frankly, Ace is an optimist, compared to me. During the campaign last year, Democrats kept bashing the Bush administration for its nearly $200 billion budget deficit. So now they’ve moved the declmal point to the right: $2 trillion in deficits, and I’m seeing nightmare […]

The Boomers spawned and their progeny distilled their pot-tootin’, free-lovin’ parents’ belief system to this: community, environment, activism. This from a Detroit News editorial: In the 2010 off-year election, half of millennials will be eligible to vote, representing about a fifth of the overall electorate. By 2012, 60 percent will be eligible to vote, and […]

The odds are running 100-1 that their plan revolves around fear tactics and the use of words such as racist, bigot, and other personal attacks. Don’t forget, if you are against socializing the health care system, you are an extreme right wing extremist for being against expanding the power of the federal government Alarmed at […]

It was a really nice day in D.C., sunny, not too hot, the trees were blooming, and most Senators probably decided to get their daily vitamin D fix rather then attend a hearing about a subject that most Americans say should just be MovedOn from. Few Senators Show Up for ‘Circus’ Hearing on Alleged U.S. […]

* You can almost feel the conventional wisdom shifting, day by day, from more Democratic gains in 2010 to big GOP gains in 2010. * If you want to see who’s winning a society wide debate, watch the numbers, the energy level, and the fanaticism. Whoever has the most, wins * My idea for a […]

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does God allow suffering? Why does God allow evil? These are difficult questions to grapple with for Christians because since God is omnipotent, He does have it within His power to make this a heaven on earth. Moreover, since God cares about us, why would He […]

Turbo Tax Tim Geithner tells us: Social Security’s annual surpluses of tax income over expenditures are expected to fall sharply this year and to stay about constant in 2010 because of the economic recession, and to rise only briefly before declining and turning to cash flow deficits beginning in 2016 that grow as the baby […]

Update #1 I’m going to be talking about how to be a successful blogger at RFC Radio at 5 PM EST. — At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click here to listen.

Here are the notes, not quotes, from a blogger teleconference with Senator Saxby Chambliss that was just completed. Opening Statement: I have been to Guantanamo Bay and will be going again soon. I have seen interrogations and have looked these terrorists in the eye. These guys get up every morning hoping for another opportunity to […]

Even after the Ascension of the Anointed One, we’ll have to hurry to catch up to Europeans in the race into the encroaching dark ages of moonbat totalitarianism. The New York Times praises the Nazi military base turned Green Party haven of Vauban, Germany for making it almost impossible to drive a car: Street parking, […]

Wasting money is easy, until you try to waste $trillions. Then you have to get creative. But our profligate rulers are up to the task: The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAA), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes […]

A big thank you to my family friend Dave for passing this video along: It’s hard to pick, but “Who can save the poor? Who can pick the teams that are in the Final Four?” and “Who can take your income and tax it all away?” are probably my favorite lines. What line made you […]

If you want to reduce medical costs via socialized medicine, there are not a lot of easy ways to do so. Preventative medicine certainly isn’t going to do the trick. In fact, preventative medicine tends to raise costs because it takes money to do the testing and because many minor issues that would have never […]

Roger Simon met Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and says, “I was in the presence of pure Evil.” Roger’s analysis of coming face to face with evil is compelling. Please go read the whole thing.

Richard Posner has gotten a bit of attention on the Right for writing a piece bemoaning the intellectual deterioration of the conservative movement. Here’s an excerpt, I sense intellectual deterioration of the once-vital conservative movement in the United States. As I shall explain, this may be a testament to its success. Until the late 1960s […]

Since November, liberals have used Barack Obama’s personal popularity as a weapon to intimidate Republicans into supporting Democratic policies. For example, when Florida conservative Senate candidate Marco Rubio debuted a TV ad criticizing his Republican rival Charlie Crist’s support of Obama’s $789 billion “stimulus” bill, liberal blogger Greg Sargent pretended to be astonished: Another mark […]

The biggest generation is about to be the biggest retired generation. Do you think a generation nicknamed the “Me Generation” will suddenly become the generous generation? No. The market lost value so the Boomers lost their retirements. They were overmortgaged just as their health declined (it was a shock that they were getting older). Let’s […]

“She [Elizabeth Edwards] may be smart, but she doesn’t seem to know much about men.” — Maureen Dowd, May 6, 2009 The hypocrisy of Elizabeth Edwards is apparent even before her recent interview with Oprah Winfrey begins. In the current issue of her magazine, Oprah writes that Mrs. John Edwards told her, “We’re not fancy […]

Things are not all fairy dust and unicorn “wind” up on Capitol Hill. Kucinich slams Obama: Healthcare savings ‘unconscionable rip-off’ The Obama administration’s plan announced yesterday to save trillions in healthcare costs is an “unconscionable rip-off of the American people,” Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) argued Tuesday. Kucinich slammed the administration’s deal, brokered with insurers, labor, […]

I read and liked Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn’s For Men Only: A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Women; so when I saw that they were releasing that book, along with For Women Only: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men as part of a new set, For Couples Only: […]

Remember when Obama said that in front of his little grasshoppers, er, House Democrats, during a speechin Williamsburg in early February? Remember when Obama and the Democrats were telling us that the Generational Theft Act had to be passed RIGHT NOW otherwise Bad Things would happen, that the economy would never recover, so no one […]

One of the myths Democrats are going to try to continue to promote is that 95% of Americans are getting a tax cut. Of course that means they’re politically prohibited from raising income taxes. But that certainly doesn’t mean that they must refrain from other taxes and fees which will impact 100% of Americans and, […]

Not since 7-year-old Autum (sic) Ashante started composing poems about the evil white man and his remorseless paradigms has liberal-land seen a prodigy like Sameek Das, 8, of High Peaks Elementary in whacky Boulder, Colorado. Google discovered Sameek with its Doodle 4 Google contest… …a competition where we invite K-12 students to play around with […]
