Britain Plunges Headlong Into Totalitarianism With Equality Act

Posted on by Dave Blount

There will be no more telling jokes on the job in Britain.

AGW Today: GenMod Trees, Walruses, And The UN, Oh My!

Posted on by William Teach

Usually, all the tofu eating leftist alarmists are against any sort of genetic modification. It’s all “like, we need organic, ya know, dude? Back to nature. Down with science”. Despite all organic being less productive, more manpower intensive, and less safe (you know they often spray feces directly on the produce, right?) Yet, for globull […]

Oh, No, Special Interest Spending Way Up This Election Cycle

Posted on by William Teach

You know which side is going to be the bad guy, right? Interest groups are spending five times as much on the 2010 congressional elections as they did on the last midterms, and they are more secretive than ever about where that money is coming from. The $80 million spent so far by groups outside […]

Daley Buddy Not Billed for Years of Water Use

My Speech On Citizen Journalism For The 2010 Smart Girl Summit

Posted on by John Hawkins

My name is John Hawkins, I’ve been blogging since 2001 and blogging professionally since 2005.

There […]

 

They Don’t Know Their History at All–This is Elitism Straight Up

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

To understand the frustration of legacy media journalists such as New York Timeso racialist Kate Zernike over the strength of the Tea Parties and the resurgence of Friedrich Hayek and other past voices from the right, let’s paraphrase Janene Garofalo’s infamous rant last year on MSNBC. It’s not about bashing Republicans, it’s not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don’t know their history at all. This is about hating conservatives in America. This is elitism straight up

Bob Parks of Black&Right is talking about that “third rail” of the entertainment industry: them Joooos. Bob is a bit mystified as to why it’s such a no-no to say that the entertainment industry is filled with folks of the Talmud? Unless Jews are hired into the business based primarily on their ethnicity and not […]

 

Insurance For Pre-Existing Conditions Expensive Under ObamaCare

Posted on by William Teach

Who would have thought it? It’s a centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s health care remake, a lifeline available right now to vulnerable people whose medical problems have made them uninsurable.
