Frank Rich Calls The Right Bigots For Failing To Discuss DADT

Posted on by William Teach

Remember when Obama called for the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell? Remember how it was discussed briefly, then most moved on? Yeah, us folks on the right are bigots because we didn’t discuss it enough, says Frank Rich: Smoke the Bigots Out of the Closet A funny thing happened after Adm. Mike Mullen called […]

 

Obama Can’t Even Create or Save an OBAMA STORE

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Image courtesy of weasel zippers That’s right; Obama can’t even “create or save” : the creepy shrine-like store specializing in merchandise with his likeness. It’s a sure sign that the honeymoon is totally over when even the sheep-like and the “hipsters” (redundant?) are far too ashamed to continue wearing Obama head t-shirts — although, I thought […]

 

Politics and Mardi Gras Beads in ‘Bama: Rick Barber Campaigns in Millbrook

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Bailey Barber greeted us at the front door of her family home Saturday morning with ecstatic news. “We’re going to a parade,” announced the 6-year-old daughter of Republican congressional candidate Rick Barber.

Palin to Lead Tea Party Movement?

Posted on by Donald Douglas

A pretty favorable piece from this morning’s New York Times: “Palin, Visible and Vocal, Is Positioned for Variety of Roles.” But more critically, at Politico, “Palin’s Risky Bid to Lead Tea Party“: After flirting coyly for months, Sarah Palin this weekend launches an aggressive play to become the leader of the tea party movement, a […]

Hitchens Says Sports Suck… And I Agree

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, Christopher Hitchens has finally written something with which I can whole heartedly sign on. In his latest Newsweek piece Hitchens decries the sham that is sports — especially international soccer tournies. He slams the supposed benefits of sports and rightly pinpoints the singular truth that sports brings out the worst in everyone. Hitchens eviscerates […]

 

Obama, In Charge of Military, Can’t Pronounce Their TITLES

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I’m pretty sure Obama knows it’s not Peace : Corpse or Obama Youth Corpse, yet he doesn’t know how to pronounce corpsman properly. : He read corpsman as corpse-man in his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast. Telling. When Bush mispronounced nuclear, the left went bananas. It became someone he was bashed for non-stop. Obama’s misspoken plenty […]

 

Barbara Boxer, Ma’am: Obama, Can You, Like, Sign Stuff and Make Icky Banks Lend?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

During the question and answer period between Obama and Senate Democrats the other day, Barbara Boxer, Ma’am asked if Obama could, you know, sign stuff like Executive Orders, and:  force banks to lend money. No, really. She asked that. Dear Ma’am: Who is John Galt? (Okay, I hate the overuse of that phrase, but it’s […]

 

Looking for a New ‘America’s Mayor’? I Choose Mayor of Las Vegas

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Obama can’t seem to keep that “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” thing straight. He keeps forgetting that you have to GO to Vegas first and, instead, he is: constantly deterring people from visiting the sin-alicious city. The: Mayor of Las Vegas has had just about enough. “He has a real psychological hang up about the […]

 

Scott Lee Cohen: Case in Point How Chicago Media Covers for Criminal Democrats

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, the Chicago controlled Illinois media has done it again. It’s allowed another unsavory Democrat candidate with criminal propensities to slide by unnoticed and to be placed before the voters un-exposed as the low-end sort of fellow he is. And, just like clockwork, this drug addled nut has been elevated to nominee by the Democrat […]

 

Narcissist In Chief Mentions Letter That Supporter Wanted To Be Buried In Obama T-shirt

Posted on by William Teach

When people say that when Obama speaks it is all about Obama, they could be on to something. Via Byron York Yes, those are the words of the president, last night at the Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Washington. After listing his administration’s accomplishments and vowing that “our most urgent task is job creation,” Obama […]

 

The Global Warming Guerrillas

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

“The Climate Consensus may hold the establishment — the universities, the media, big business, government — but it is losing the jungles of the web. After all, getting research grants, doing pieces to cameras and advising boards takes time. The very ostracism the sceptics suffered has left them free to do their digging untroubled by grant applications and invitations to Stockholm.”

Dems Illinois Lt. Gov. Candidate and His… uh… Peccadilloes, The Jerry Springer Democrat

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston I just can’t get excited about Scott Lee Cohen, the wacky Lt. Gov. that the Democrats have chosen to represent them in November. Sure he’s the Jerry Springer candidate, sure he’s violent, roided up, and sort of scummy. But, he’s upfront about it all, he’s honest about his general scumminess. And […]

 

‘Orange County Local News Network’ Just Spammed My Blog!

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Now, that’s got to be a compliment, or something! I saw Mike Reicher and Gretchen Meier at last night’s Newt Gingrich lecture. They were sitting right in front of me, on the floor actually, during the talk. In fact, that’s Mike Reicher on the right in this picture, where we see Speaker Gingrich exiting stage […]

Pia Varma, an American of Indian background… not not a redskin, an actual Indian… wants you to send her to Congress, Pennsylvania. And so she has announced her run for Pennsylvania’s First District Congressional seat (Philadelphia).

Condescending Leftists

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I don’t use the old-fashioned term “liberal” to describe today’s political left, and while my view on this has been firmly grounded in abstract ideological thinking (which some, in futility, have challenged), it’s interesting we have some confirmation of such leftist identification in David Paul Kuhn, discussing Gallup’s new poll, “Majority of Dems View Socialism […]

Meg Whitman: Trashing Sarah Palin? A-Ok! Being Anti-Amnesty? No Way!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Earlier this week, I noted that Meg Whitman, who’s running for Governor of California, was slapping Sarah Palin fans in the face by hiring Mike Murphy, one of the sleazy McCain aides who trashed her after the election. In that post, I pointed out that campaign staff are essentially disposable on a campaign: Now staffers […]

 

Moonbat Tech: The Guilt Fork

Posted on by Dave Blount

Not all moonbat technology is particularly sophisticated. Sometimes the genius lies in its very simplicity. For example, the Guilt Fork manages to inflict the self-hating, cowed mentality befitting a liberal simply by making the tines different lengths and stamping them with the names of countries both successful and “oppressed.” Yanko Design explains: Statistics in books […]

 

John Boehner is Kidding Himself

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Yesterday our Republican minority leader in the House of Representatives proved that he still isn’t seeing the problem with the GOP. He’s living in denial, at least he is if we can take his words at face value. On the Mike Gallagher radio show yesterday, leader Boehner insisted that there is no substantive ideological differences […]

 

Why Unions Can’t Work in Education

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Atlantic’s Megan McArdle had a great piece pinpointing exactly why unions don’t work, especially for education. Her piece headlined “How Unions Work,” really brings it home why unions can’t agree to merit pay for teachers. McArdle’s post was prompted by a piece by left-winger Matthew Yglesias whose post is meaningless and I won’t go […]
