Posted on September 27, 2011December 31, 2011 by John Hawkins

The sad case of Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14 year old gay kid who committed suicide after being bullied, has inspired Lady Gaga to try to get involved in the situation.

Why Wouldn’t Americans Be Sick Of Government?

Posted on September 27, 2011September 27, 2011 by John Hawkins

Our government is slow, stupid, clumsy and wasteful. It doesn’t do anything well and most things it does exceedingly poorly. Therefore, the bigger government gets, the more lives it’s going to screw up. That’s as predictable as death and taxes and it’s why wise people regard government as a necessary evil. Yes, you do need […]

Peculiarly enough, a hypothetical third party for independents would look like Progressives on steroids

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Bookworm

I do love the way my liberal Facebook friends make me aware of things I wouldn’t otherwise notice. One of those things is a Matt Miller op-ed in the Washington Post, which imagines the perfect speech a dream independent candidate would give. As Miller describes it: This is one columnist’s stab at what a candidate […]

Increase Diversity Bake Sale Enrages Racist Moonbats

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Dave Blount

Nothing could be more racist than pointing out that liberals are racist. That’s why moonbats’ heads are exploding over the Berkeley College Republicans “Increase Diversity Bake Sale,” which offers a pricing structure that reflects race-based admission preferences: The bake sale is in protest of SB 185, which, if signed by Brown, would allow California public […]

Ron Paul: NOT a Serious Candidate

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Ron Paul is not serious about running for president nor is he a serious candidate even were he to be so inclined. But serious or no, he is a horrible candidate regardless. Now, there may have been a time a decade or so ago when Ron Paul really thought he had a shot at being […]

About Those GOP Candidates So Far

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Kathleen McKinley

Let’s get an update on the GOP candidates for President. I’ve watched the debates. I was especially interested in how Perry would do. As everyone in Texas knows, Gov. Perry did’n’t debate Bill White last time he was running for Governor. I wondered if it was because his debating skills aren’t the best. I know […]

Angry Man Obama Attacks Republicans At West Coast Fundraisers

Posted on September 26, 2011 by William Teach

Aiming […]

How Much Do You Suck When You Can’t Even Sell A Book About Sarah Palin?

Posted on September 26, 2011September 28, 2011 by John Hawkins

Apparently, there is a limit to how much made up material the public will swallow about a public figure, even if it’s Sarah Palin. Despite massive publicity, two new books chronicling the Sarah Palin soap opera–The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin by veteran political writer Joe McGinnis and Deer in the Headlights: My […]

Barack Obama Compares Experiencing His Policies To Being Inside A Fiery Furnace

Posted on September 26, 2011September 26, 2011 by John Hawkins

The general take on this seems to be that, “Obama asks CBC for Biblical faith in his agenda.” President Obama made an appeal to the religious faith of black voters at a Congressional Black Caucus rally, likening Biblical prophets who had faith in God — and so refused to worship an idol — to the […]

The UAW’s Waning Days?

Posted on September 25, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Reuters has a very interesting article detailing the fall of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in the modern era. It is a long article, but if you are interested in the way the UAW intends to keep itself relevant to the auto industry on into the future, it is worth the read. It is also […]

Solyndra: is anybody going to jail? And is that really the point?

Posted on September 24, 2011 by TrogloPundit

If I were cynical, I’d think the New York Times’ Joe Nocera was trying to muddle up the Solyndra scandal. He writes: If Brian Harrison and W. G. Stover, the two Solyndra executives who took the Fifth Amendment at a Congressional hearing on Friday, ever spend a day in jail, I’ll stand on my head […]

Victory for Bloggers: Illinois Blog Wins Lawsuit

Posted on September 24, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

In a good sign for blogger free speech, a lawsuit against a high profile conservative blog in Illinois has just been tossed out. A political contributor brought the lawsuit over a story about property tax reassessments and political contributions. This is a victory for free political speech as well as a victory for the status […]

Let’s Be Honest

Posted on September 24, 2011 by Kathleen McKinley

The left went crazy nuts over the fact that some audience members booed a gay American soldier after he asked this question at the last GOP debate: “My question is, under one of your presidencies, do you intend to circumvent the progress that’s been made for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military?” It was […]

Spilled beer, irony, liberal fecklessness, and a long-legged model in pink lingerie…

…this post has it all! Many fun and interesting things happen on eBay. True. But none so fun or interesting — or as satisfying — as this one: This is an auction for the famous “Pink Slip” that was hurled at Representative Robin Vos at the Racine Lincoln Day Dinner by notorious goof ball, Vos-Stalker, […]

Good News! Obama Wants To Kill Asthmatic Kids

Posted on September 24, 2011 by William Teach

Well, that’s the headline you’d read from every liberal website if George W. Bush had enacted rules such as this (via the Weekly Standard) Asthma patients who rely on over-the-counter inhalers will need to switch to prescription-only alternatives as part of the federal government’s latest attempt to protect the Earth’s atmosphere.

“The Best Part About Buying Cars Online”

Actually, there are many “best parts“.

Can this be optimal?

Posted on September 24, 2011September 18, 2011 by Craig Newmark

I’ve been gradually warming up to soccer, at least as played by the better European clubs. But one question I have is this:: ESPN, The Magazine, 9/19, p. 114, reports that in the English Premier League, averaging over the last four seasons, the percentage of shots on goal was a hair more than 36%. To compare, […]

Five Ways to Screw Up Your Life with the Internet

Posted on September 24, 2011December 31, 2011 by John Hawkins

One of the odd things about the Internet is that so many people don’t quite seem to understand that it’s real. Sure, they realize that there’s a computer in front of them, a “series of tubes,” and then…it gets kind of foggy. It’s like they think there are magical pixies from the land of Lulz […]
