SEIUs Anna Burger to Retire

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times gave a glowing review of Ana Burger’s career as a most divisive member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). But how could one be less arrogant and pushy than would seem natural for a union that set out to fashion itself an “international” union? Burger, 59, was supposed to be […]

 

Washington Post Allows Muslim Professor To Call People Concerned About Islam Ignorant On Op-Ed Page

Posted on by William Teach

It’s not the first time the Washington Post has allowed this apparent hardcore Islamist use of their op-ed page. Previously, he whined about being banned in the USA. Perhaps there is a reason, though, of course, the ACLU and other dhimmi’s took up his cause, and the Obama State Dept. revoked his banning. Here is […]

 

They’ll be using the buddy system to go to the bathroom at Baraboo’s upcoming Open Carry Picnic.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Saturday, September 25: there’s going to be an Open Carry picnic in West Baraboo*, Wisconsin. Just down the road from here. Those of you who find firearms frightening – you may want to stay inside that day. Doors locked. Blinds drawn. Huddled quietly in the corner with the “9” and the “1” already dialed and […]

 

Fish Wrap Whines About John Boehner’s Ties To Lobbyists

Posted on by William Teach

Now, this whole article would be considered an in-kind campaign contribution under the legislation Democrats want to pass. Well, it would if a blogger wrote it, since the Old Media would be pretty much excluded. Anyhow House Democrats were preparing late last year for the first floor vote on the financial regulatory overhaul when Representative […]

 

Pastor Jones: Won’t Burn A Quran, ‘Not Today, Not Ever.’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The on again, off again, on again Koran burning in Florida is off again, this time for good says infamous pastor Terry Jones. It seems that Pastor Jones finally decided that the burning would not have been the best course of action. “We will definitely not burn the Quran, no,” he said. “Not today, not […]

 

When Did Calbuzz Become Jerry Brown’s Personal Communications Shop?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The widely read California website Calbuzz bills itself as a site offering political news, analysis, commentary, “and more about California and beyond.” During this election cycle, though, the “and more” seems to indicate that Calbuzz is operating as the publicity shop for Democrat Jerry Brown’s campaign for Governor because so far they’ve spent little time […]

 

Obama’s Favors to Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Washington Examiner asks a few substantive questions about unions this Labor Day weekend. Why do they seem to have such an outsized power when their dues paying members are fewer than ever, when they work in fewer industries than ever, and when they have such money troubles? Ah, but the answer is what we […]

 

9/11 + 9: Remembering Brooke Alexandra Jackman And Andrew Golkin

Posted on by William Teach

This is Brooke Alexandra Jackman. She was born August 28, 1978. She was murdered by Islamic extremists September 11, 2001, while working at Cantor Fitzgerald, where she worked as an assistant trader. She was just 23. After reading so many touching stories and tributes about Brooke, I feel I almost know her. Her smile is […]

 

The witches and fortune tellers didn’t lobby against the law, because they already knew it would fail.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

I hesitate to blog about this and, perhaps, give somebody on this side of the world new ideas. On the other hand, what the hell. Might be fun. The story: Romanian witch tax not ‘brewing’ with lawmakers there Lawmakers Alin Popoviciu and Cristi Dugulescu of the ruling Democratic Liberal Party drafted a law where witches […]

 

They must feel a lot stronger about their county treasurers in Ohio than we do here in Wisconsin.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

This is Phil Davison, who’s running for that position in Stark County, Ohio. It’s…well…let’s just call it zealous. I’m not normally one to suggest decaffeinated coffee, but…Phil, bubbelah, it may be time. UPDATE — Allahpundit says: Three words: 2012. Convention. Keynote.

 

Westboro “Baptist” Church Plans On Pissing Everyone Off On 9/11

Posted on by William Teach

And a put Baptist in quotes, because this “church” is not following the teachings of the Bible nor Christ. Anyhow It is still unclear if a Florida pastor will go through with his plans to burn the Quran on the anniversary of 9-11 tomorrow, but one thing is for sure, a church in Topeka will […]

 

Obama’s Eyes Are on 2012 Prize

Posted on by Dave Blount

Evidence accrues that Comrade Obama continues to defy the public he supposedly represents by imposing overwhelmingly unpopular policies because he doesn’t care if his party loses Congress this fall. The lefties at Time, who helped hype him into office, discuss the ostensible decline of Obama’s Organizing for America machine: What happened to Barack Obama’s once […]

 

Multiculturalism Collapses in Belgium

Here‘s how multiculturalism is working out in liberal Belgium: A top Belgian politician warned the country’s citizens on Sunday to “get ready for the break-up of Belgium,” as King Albert II seeks to relaunch knife-edge coalition talks.

Ha! Just kidding. Here’s the actual headline: Rosh Hashanah Celebrated in Israel Despite Concerns for Peace Damn you, Jews, for celebrating your holy days despite all our concerns for peace! Rosh Hashanah — the Jewish New Year — started at sunset Wednesday. According to this website, it’s one of the holiest days of the Jewish […]

 

North Carolina Governor’s Gun Ban

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It appears that North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue went to the Rahm Emanuel school of governing because hurricane Earl was a “crisis” that was “too good to waste.” Perdue used hurricane Earl as an excuse to claim that the North Carolina was in a “state of emergency” and this proclamation opens the door for an […]

 

Buy A Nissan Leaf, Or The Polar Bears Will All Die

Posted on by William Teach

I must say, when I am watching football (or hockey or baseball), there are certain commercials that I do not want to see, things that just do not go, such as feminine hygiene products, political ads, and preachy “buy this or you’re a terrible person” crap. And what were we treated to during the Saints-Vikings […]

 

Friday Stupid: Fish Wrap Worried About Media’s Role In Koran Burning Issue

Let the hand wringing begin Coverage of Koran Case Stirs Questions on Media Role Mr. Jones was able to put himself at the center of those issues by using the news lull of summer and the demands of a 24-hour news cycle to promote his anti-Islam cause. He said he consented to more than 150 […]

 

Imam Rauf on Larry King Live – UPDATED!!

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Imam Rauf claims that he has “a responsibility” to build the mosque, otherwise radical Islamists around the world will threaten “national security.” In other words, screw the sensitivity concerns of Americans, you’ll be blown to bits if you don’t back off from my Victory Mosque. See Atlas Shrugs, “Ground Zero Supremacist Imam Rauf Threatens America: […]

 

Somehow the “Evil Money-Grubbing GOP” Has Far Less Funds than the “Working Class” Democrats

Posted on by Sharon

It’s rather amusing and ironic that leading into the November midterm elections, the “evil money-grubbing GOP” has far less funds than the “working class” Democrats. I guess when you consider the “working class” is made up of the labor unions that helped to bankrupt this country with their demands for unwarranted wages and pensions; it […]

 

ObamaCare Already Causing Insurance Prices to Rise

Posted on by Dave Blount

Only the severely cognitively challenged could have failed to realize that ObamaCare would drive up the cost of medical insurance. But just to get it on the record: Health insurers say they plan to raise premiums for some Americans as a direct result of the health overhaul in coming weeks, complicating Democrats’ efforts to trumpet […]

 

Washington Post blogger duped by fake Twitter congressman, and: Blame Bush!

Posted on by TrogloPundit

On a scale of forgetting your pencil at home to forgetting your 50th wedding anniversary, this ranks somewhere around forgetting your lunchbox. But it’s still funny. Last week, a Washington Post columnist started a Twitter hoax. This week, a Washington Post columnist fell for one. Jonathan Capehart, an editorial writer and columnist, took “@RepJackKimble (R-Calif.)” […]
