Send the memo to Brilliant Barbara at Teh Mahablog, and Steve “We Need More Female Downs Syndrome Suicide Bombers” Hynd: At WND, “Jihadis Convert YouTube into Terror-Recruiting Tool: Al-Qaida Ally Posting News, Violence-Inciting Rants Online“: Islamic terrorists plotting attacks in the U.S. are recruiting, taking credit for bombings and calling for even more violence — […]

Decades of reflexive animosity toward anything that might even be remotely labeled as discrimination has rendered the modern left braindead.:  They no longer have the ability to think critically or debate honestly on policy solutions to social problems involving discrimination.:  Instead, they simply reflexively label anyone who disagrees with their policy as racist/bigoted/homophobe. Rand Paul […]

The screening was yesterday, so yeah, a little late on getting to this, “Tommy 35th Anniversary Screening: Film Based on The Who’s Classic Rock Opera.” But it’s worth it at least for some Saturday night music jams: Also, an e-mail interview at LAT, “Pete Townshend Discusses Filming ‘Tommy’“: With an electrifying score by Pete Townshend […]

I have both read and listened to this speech. It’s a serious moment for the President of the United States to deliver any commencement address, and especially that of the graduates at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. It’s especially interesting to listen to President Obama here, because as I noted many times throughout […]

As I write this, voters in Hawaii’s 1st District are deciding who will represent them for the remainder of this term. Neil Abercrombie left a vacant House seat behind when he retired earlier this year to focus on a run at the Hawaii statehouse. Polls indicate Republican Charles Djou will win a plurality of the […]

It’s mind-boggling when you look at the big picture sometimes. Here’s my morning paper, with this lovely front-cover photograph of the oil-soaked dead bird, with the headline, “Spill’s Ugly Reality Sets In“: Millions of Southern Californians will see the paper, and naturally — like any thoughtful, caring person — they’ll be filled with revulsion at […]

We’ve had Everybody Draw Mohammed Day, to protect the ideal of free speech from two kinds of people: those who will threaten violence in order to suppress speech they don’t like; and those who will give in to the threats. We might also need an Everybody Speak Politically Day, too, for very similar reasons. Via […]

May is a big month, Star Wars-wise. Star Wars Day, naturally, was May 4th. All six Star Wars movies were released in May. The Empire Strikes Back had its 30th anniversary on Friday. It’s more than a movie series now. It’s part of the American culture. A cultural phenomenon is what it is, and sometimes […]

Bi•no•pia (intang. n.) As I’ve pointed out a few times, it’s easy to criticize something and labor toward its demise when it has a name, and it’s much harder to do this when it doesn’t have a name. By and large, when I invent names for things, they are things that have been sticking around […]

Enough about Holy Teleprompter Man. Let’s take a look at the people who work for Him. This is important. He sets the agenda, but these people carry it out. Item: So much depends on their elitism, we may as well begin with that. Shortly after the electoral victory of He Who Argues With The Dictionaries, […]

My latest Talk Radio Watch column is now up! Enjoy FREE audio and webcam highlights from the week in talk radio — Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham and more. Here’s what else has been going on around the dial: * A call by local activists for Fresno radio station KMJ to end […]

A great laugh. Andrew Klavan knocks it out of the park, or, umm, over the border: And listen to John Lennon’s “Imagine” as well. Not something I’d normally post, but given the circumstances, peacenik lefty trolls might enjoy it: “Imagine all the people … Sharing all the world…” Cross-posted from American Power.

Just in, from Tommy Christopher, “Washington Times Pulls Dale ‘N-Word Sign’ Robertson’s Tea Party Column.” And, just a few minutes earlier, from Tabitha Hale at Red State, “Dear Washington Times: Seriously?“: The Washington Times has managed to give credibility to this delusional racist who claims to be the founder of the Tea Party. As Tommy […]
