Tabloid Trash Beat: Lock Up Your Mothers And Your Daughters ‘Cause John Edwards Is On The Prowl

Posted on by John Hawkins

Seldom do I give serious credence to the tabloids, but the National Enquirer’s coverage of the John Edwards story has to be considered an exception. After all, they’ve been ahead of EVERYONE ELSE, every step of the way, and they’ve been proven right time and time again. As a publication, the Enquirer may be only […]

An Interview With GOProud’s Christopher Barron on Liberty University, CPAC, And The Log Cabin Republicans.

Posted on by John Hawkins

For those that don’t know, GOProud is a relatively new gay conservative group that broke off from the Log Cabin Republicans. Lately, they’ve been in the news because Liberty University withdrew their co-sponsorship at CPAC over GOProud’s co-sponsorship of the event. Late last week, I interviewed GOProud’s Chairman of the Board, Christopher Barron. What follows […]

You Know Who’s At Fault For The Disaster That Is Coakley? Bush

Posted on by William Teach

For a Party that calls themselves “progressives,” they sure spend quite a bit of time whining about the past and blaming everyone else As audience members streamed out of Pres. Obama‘s rally on behalf of AG Martha Coakley (D) here tonight, the consensus was that the fault for Coakley’s now-floundering MA SEN bid lies with […]

 

Misogyny is Funny! If You are a Liberal, That Is. (And If You’re Talking About Sarah Palin)

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Jerry Adler over at Newsweek is up to familiar tricks; the typical leftist move of misogyny disguised as “humor”. I know. I didn’t realize Newsweek was still in publication either. Hey, I suppose the hip, cultured and enlightened folks need something to read whilst sipping their Pinot Noir and fantasizing about Europe in their Ivory […]

 

Meltdown at the IPCC: Key claim about Himalayan glaciers to be retracted?

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

It hasn’t been a great last few months for global warming alarmists. First came ClimgateGate, and now this (via Tim Blair): A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.

“If Scott Brown was running in South Carolina, or Texas, or Wyoming…”

Posted on by TrogloPundit

“…he probably couldn’t win a GOP primary for county sheriff.” So says Rich Moran, over at Pajamas Media. Scott Brown, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate who might — might — actually win the election in mega-liberal Massachusetts, has become the conservative’s darling. Why? For the sheer chutzpah of it all, I’d say. As a […]

 

Cindy Sheehan: Bewitched, Bothered and Totally Bewildered

Martha Coakley? More Like Martha Choke-ly.

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I was going to say Croak-ley, as that is what her senate campaign is doing, but I assumed that liberals would start screeching about how Republicans “want people to die” and stuff. Sheesh, for such an allegedly cosmopolitan, open-minded bunch, they sure do get their lattes in a foamy tizzy an awful lot. Polling data, […]

Everyone is always talking about how corrupt Illinois politics is. Well, it’s been that way since day one.

There is a saying about Chicago’s weather: if you don’t like the […]

 

Alyssa Milano’s Challenge to Corporations

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

Take that, corporations! Last night, as I sat in the comfort of my living room, watching the news and obsessively checking my Twitter homepage for the latest developments, I felt completely helpless. I cried, and then I did the only thing I could do…I wrote a check to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for $50,000. […]

 

Who’s Really Getting Purged From the GOP? Conservatives or Moderates?

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the notes that we hear trumpeted over and over again is that conservatives want to purge moderates from the Republican Party. Why, all the members of the Republican Party, in every state and district, have to be as conservative as Rush Limbaugh or else they have to go! This has been repeated so […]

 

Shocker! U.N. Himalayan Glacier Meltdown Report Was A Lie

Posted on by William Teach

Of course, the only people who are really going to be shocked that an alarmist group like the UN IPCC was making it up as they went along (grant money, anyone?) are the climate alarmists who WANT to believe that Mankind is bad and caused the warming, mostly or solely, since the end of the […]

Video: Silicon Graffiti — “The Pinchurian Candidate”

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

The weekend before November’s elections, Frank Rich of the New York Times wrote a curious column titled, “The G.O.P. Stalinists Invade Upstate New York.”

On the other hand, it was rather refreshing to see a journalist with the New York Times use the word pejoratively. Needless to say, that hasn’t always been the case, as we’ll explore in the latest edition of our Silicon Graffiti videoblog…

 

Does Obama trip to Massachusetts presage Coakley’s failure?

Posted on by Bookworm

The last and best word on the subject is that Obama is going to Massachusetts to bring his prestige to bear on the upcoming Massachusetts Senatorial election. You can hear Coakley confirm this, even as she makes the stunning statement — stunning considering that she’s hoping to represent Massachusetts in the United States Senate — […]

 

A perfect statement about the balance of power between government, citizens and business

Posted on by Bookworm

As I’ve mentioned before, almost without exception, my “real me” facebook friends are liberal. This is true both for the friends I trace back to my school years and for the ones who are part of my daily life today. Occasionally, I like to tweak my facebook friends a little, not with “in your face” […]

 

So what would he look like with another fifty pounds on him?

Posted on by TrogloPundit

They’ll be putting him on a milk carton next.
