ObamaRail

Posted on by Dave Blount

As Comrade Obama revealed in his State of the Union address, he has found a solution to the Sword of Damocles that hangs over us in the form of massive government debt: pour still more money into 19th century technology to placate environmental extremists.

Posted on by William Teach

One question surrounding Michelle Bachmann is “will she or won’t she run for president in 2012?” (I’m hoping she will) Another is “how much influence will she have on the GOP politics of the next two years, keeping the GOP on the road they were elected to follow?” Obviously, both questions are worrisome to the […]

Posted on by John Hawkins

In the last year, I’ve lost over 80 pounds. I still have some weight left to lose and should be finished up later this year, but believe it or not, looking at these poll numbers on spending from Gallup reminds me of the mentality I had before I started losing weight, So, the American people […]

 

“What’s Your General Opinion On The Tea Party Movement?”

Posted on by John Hawkins

That was the question a political operative asked me last night. The short, general answer would be, “The Tea Party movement is very good for the country and the Republican Party.” Of course, if you get into the details, it’s more complicated than that.

Moonbat Entertainment: The Last Supper

Posted on by Dave Blount

While moonbats exploit the apolitical Tucson shootings to make pious calls for ascendant conservatives to water down their rhetoric, a play called The Last Supper gives an idea of what can be expected in return: Five lefty graduate students in Iowa City gather for weekly dinners to revel in their shared (and sometimes smug) world […]

China Disses Obama In Song

One of Obama’s Biggest Donors Now His ‘Economics Adviser’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week President Obama appointed the CEO of General Electric, Jeffery Immelt, to head up his Economic Advisory Board.
