Canadian Comic Fined for Standing Up to Obnoxious Lesbian

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Dave Blount

A comic’s job is to ridicule people — but not the special people: A Canadian comic has been ordered to pay CA$15,000 (US$15,745) to a woman he taunted along with her same-sex partner during a show in a Vancouver restaurant three years ago, the Vancouver Sun reported Thursday. Stand-up comedian Guy Earle was ordered to […]

Rep. Peter Roskam on the Ryan Budget Plan: Obama’s Lack of Leadership Gives GOP a Leading Issue

Posted on April 22, 2011April 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

No one but the worst sycophant thinks that President Obama’s latest stab at a federal budget is a serious plan. In fact, that he’s come before the American people again with a second budget plan itself bespeaks of a president badly floundering on the issue. This has left the Republican Party, and more specifically the […]

Greenpeace Admits Coal Power a Job Creator

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Recently the enviro-centric group Greenpeace issued an extensive report scolding the “dirty” energy choices made by tech giants like Apple, Google, and Facebook. Greenpeace is all exercised over the fact that many of these companies have moved to North Carolina to take advantage of the coal-produced energy there because the costs are cheaper than the […]

Union Operative That Wants ‘Financial Panic’ and Communism Still Working at SEIU

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

You may remember back in March that an audio tape was released upon which an SEIU operative expressed his desire to destroy the American economy by creating “financial panic” and overloading the system. This, it was proposed, could lay the groundwork to turn America into a perfect communist society. The union operative in question was […]

Taxpayer Bucks for a Catfish TSA?

Posted on April 22, 2011April 24, 2011 by Unicorn Jones

The Obama Administration may not be 100% serious when it comes to protecting our borders from foreign invaders, but when it comes to protecting us from foreign catfish, well, now that’s totally different. You may have thought that Ted Stevens’ giant salmon of a private plane was the most spectacular fish-related waste of taxpayer dollars […]

Good News! Obama To Authorize Tons Of Drilling Permits To Lower Gas Prices

Posted on April 22, 2011 by William Teach

Just kidding. President Check Your Tire Pressure and get a tune up (FYI, most cars today do not get “tune ups”, but engine cleanings) has a different notion President Barack Obama said on Thursday the U.S. attorney general was assembling a team to root out any fraud and manipulation in the oil markets that might […]

Say, Exactly Where Did “Birtherism” Start?

Posted on April 22, 2011April 22, 2011 by William Teach

That’s a darned good question, one that has been answered within the blogs and forums long ago, but, The Politico’s Ben Smith and Byron Tau take a stab at in the mainstream Obama media Just when it appeared that public interest was fading, celebrity developer Donald Trump has revived the theory that President Barack Obama […]

Three Economic Charts That Will BLOW YOUR MIND

Posted on April 22, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

First off, here’s a breakdown of who pays into personal income taxes. Look at those numbers and SMELL the unfairness. So, the top 10% of income earners pay 69.9% of the income tax while the bottom 50% of Americans pay 2.7%. Now, if we were actually going to make the tax code more “fair,” who […]

A Little Good News From The Border

Posted on April 22, 2011 by John Hawkins

The economy is still soft and the border fence may never be finished, but there’s a silver lining to every cloud. Wild foot chases and dust-swirling car pursuits may be the adrenaline-pumping stuff of recruitment efforts, but agents on the U.S.-Mexico border these days have to deal with a more mundane occupational reality: the boredom […]

Liberalism In 120 Seconds: The Birther Trap

This Week In Quotes: April 15 – April 21

Posted on April 22, 2011April 22, 2011 by John Hawkins

All told: If you’re in a liberal-leaning group and are comfortable enough economically to only care about more abstract things like social issues (abortion forever), racial solidarity (gotta give our brother a second chance), racial condescension (wouldn’t be fair to boot out a black guy just because he’s unqualified and a failure), and also don’t […]

Obama’s Bureaucrats Declare Escaping From Unions To Be Illegal

Posted on April 21, 2011 by John Hawkins

Let’s face it; Nobody WANTS to hire union employees. If you don’t have to do it, you’re not going to do it. That brings us to Boeing and Obama’s National Labor Relations Board. Federal labor regulators are accusing the Boeing Co. of putting one of its assembly lines for the new 787 in South Carolina […]

IPAB: The Acronym for Death Panels

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Dave Blount

The socialist remnants of Britain have the Orwellian NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) to determine who gets medical care and who doesn’t. As ObamaCare congeals, we’ll find ourselves living or dying at the whims of IPAB: In his speech on the deficit, Obama pointed to IPAB [Independent Payment Advisory Board] as an […]

Government Handouts Top Tax Revenue

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Dave Blount

Liberals love the word sustainable. Yet Obamanomics is anything but: U.S. households are now getting more in cash handouts from the government than they are paying in taxes for the first time since the Great Depression. Households received $2.3 trillion in some kind of government support in 2010. That includes expanded unemployment benefits, as well […]

Barack Obama: Flawless!

Posted on April 21, 2011April 21, 2011 by John Hawkins

Remember this?? Seven years ago, in April 2004, President George W. Bush held a formal news conference in which he was asked, “What would your biggest mistake be…and what lessons have you learned from it?” Bush’s hemming and hawing answer — in several minutes of flailing about, he never managed to come up with a […]

$5.4 Million Spent on Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

It is an amazing amount of money to be spent on a mere state supreme court race but this one was for all the marbles in Wisconsin as far as both sides were concerned, so I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. Wisconsin Democracy Campaign broke out its calculator and came up with a whopping amount […]

Indiana Democrat Fleebagger’s Hotel Bill Completely Paid for by Unions

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

It wasn’t long ago that Indiana Democrats fled the Hoosier state so that they could avoid doing their job in the state legislature. These Democrats self-righteously claimed that they were doing this “for the people” and insisted that they should be considered as heroes. One Indiana Democrat even claimed that his running off to Illinois […]

Your Taxes Paying Government Union Members NOT to Work

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Must be nice to be a government worker in a government union. Heck, some of these government union guys are even paid not to work and paid by the taxpayers to do so, yet! Vincent Vernuccio, labor policy guy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, tells us that the Obama administration is even ignoring its responsibility […]

Obama’s nastiness comes to the fore

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Bookworm

I’m sure you’ve all seen the interview Obama had with the Texas reporter. Obama was asked mildly hard questions, got defensive and, when he thought he was off mike, chastised the reporting for daring to do anything but grovel before him. Daniel Henninger, in today’s Wall Street Journal, looks as this episode and a few […]

Uh Oh: Time To Give Up Your iPod, Facebook, And Twitter, Climate Alarmists!

Posted on April 21, 2011 by William Teach

Why? Well, you want to be “green,” and save the planet from evil greenhouse gases, don’t you? Apple has come bottom of the most comprehensive green league table of technology companies because of its heavy reliance on “dirty data” centres. The list, which is compiled by Greenpeace and released in San Francisco on Thursday, shows […]

pResident With Notion Of An Idea Of An Outline For A Plan Calls Ryan Budget “Radical”

Posted on April 21, 2011 by William Teach

Perhaps if Obama spent less time campaigning and more time leading and putting together a plan, he’d have a right to talk…..sorry, I forgot, that’s all Obama does. Talk. And tell others “get ‘er done. The links are calling” At first, President Obama didn’t call the Republican budget plan “radical” during his town hall yesterday. […]

Are The Rich Taxed Enough?

Posted on April 21, 2011April 21, 2011 by Kathleen McKinley

From NRO: As you can see, the top-earning 1 percent of Americans (the 1.4 million returns making more than $380,000) paid 38 percent of federal personal income taxes while the Americans in the lower half of the income spectrum (or 70.0 million returns) paid 2.7 percent of the total. This chart also shows that roughly […]

Huggies Diapers, Papa John’s Pizza Pull Ads From Left-Wing Blog Attacking Trig Palin

Posted on April 20, 2011April 21, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Note, I was going to ignore this story, but since advertisers are pulling out over it, I felt I’d better write about it. One of the left’s favorite websites is called Wonkeete. It is popular because it has a reputation of being newsie, yet snarky, sort of like a less intelligent version of Comedy Central’s […]

Say, What’s The Deal With The $20 Billion BP Slush Fund?

Posted on April 20, 2011 by William Teach

Something I have been wondering about all day, after listening to the news reports about people still suffering, their businesses still closed or business vastly reduced, people out of work, on this 1 year anniversary of the BP blowout. Remember this Mr. Obama said the fund would be run by Kenneth Feinberg – the administration’s […]

Morality requires constant exercise — and Big Government leaves us morally flabby

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Bookworm

Don Quixote and I got together for lunch today, and the conversation drifted to innate human goodness. Neither of us believes in it. We both noted that, if people are rich and powerful enough to do so, significant numbers of them readily abandon ordinary morality, with sexual debauchery usually heading the list of their moral […]

Times Tough In Gulf One Year Later…Because of Obama

Posted on April 20, 2011April 20, 2011 by Unicorn Jones

Today is the first anniversary of the Gulf oil spill, and while the spill is totally cleaned up and major safety improvements are on the way to prevent a spill of this magnitude from ever happening again. But, weirdly, the Gulf is still suffering major setbacks. Unemployment rates have jumped. Gas prices have skyrocketed. Obama’s […]

Environmental Red Tape Used to Prevent Border Defense

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Dave Blount

There isn’t much constructive activity the radical environmentalist bureaucracy won’t prevent — not even guarding the border from drug cartels and economically unsustainable hordes of colonists: Federal land managers in Arizona, where about half of all illegal alien apprehensions took place in 2010, denied a U.S. Border Patrol station permission to build a road deemed […]

Donald Trump: Ross Perot II

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Dave Blount

When Donald Trump called for rebuilding the World Trade Center after 9/11 while lesser men squabbled over lesser projects, he more than made up for his preposterous hair. His willingness to lift the rock on the Manchurian Moonbat’s past is greatly appreciated, particularly after we watched the country being given away by the obsequious John […]
