Posted on by TrogloPundit

It’s hard to understand, I know, but: the Obama campaign thinks their old “Hope and Change” slogan won’t work this time around. WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Winning The Future. Greater Together. We Don’t Quit. They may not be official but those are all phrases that could in one form or another be candidates to become President […]

 

Would you trust these people with $1 billion?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If the members of the California State Legislature had to get real jobs, most of them would have been fired by now.

Will Women Vote For Rick Santorum?

Posted on by William Teach

That’s the question The Politico is asking Democrats have an unexpected new foil in their effort to label the GOP as hostile to women: Rick Santorum.

Posted on by William Teach

I knew there was something else I wanted to write about Friday. The 3rd anniversary of Obama’s massive, pork laden, campaign donor hookup entitled the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, otherwise known as The Stimulus That Didn’t. It’s rather strange that neither Obama nor any Democrats talked about how great Stimulus was yesterday (IBD) Without […]

Emails to that effect […]

 

Newspapers Defend Their Crony Capitalism: Outdated Monopoly on Public Notices

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Ever wonder why taking out a public notice costs so much money? It shouldn’t be that way. With the demise of print newspapers, it no longer makes sense to require that public notices be published only in newspapers. More people have access to the internet now than subscribe to print newspapers. Yet print newspapers have […]

GOP Slaps Obama Around On Gas Prices

Posted on by William Teach

And The Politico is not particularly happy about it, but has a rather difficult time defending Obama Gasoline prices are on the rise, and Republicans are licking their chops.

The Wendy McElroy Interview

Posted on by John Hawkins

John Hawkins:: Why did you create: ifeminists.com: and what is the purpose of the page? Wendy McElroy:: Ifeminists.com fills a void for information on individualist feminism.

The Most Effective Form Of Birth Control Ever: Bayer Aspirin Between The Knees

Posted on by John Hawkins

The fact that this joke was apparently extremely controversial with liberals shows how utterly humorless they’ve become and how desperate they are to find something to be offended by. “I get such a chuckle when these things come out. Here we have millions of our fellow Americans unemployed. We have jihadist camps being set up […]

Taxing Medical Progress to Death

Posted on by Michelle Malkin

Two years ago this month, as public debate over Obamacare raged, former President Bill Clinton rushed to the hospital because of a heart condition.

Obama’s cynicism for me, not for thee

Posted on by Jonah Goldberg

“My rival in this race,” President Obama announced early in 2007, “is not other candidates. It’s cynicism.” It’s now clear that what he meant by this was other people’s cynicism — not his own. As you may recall, Obama came into office a very inexperienced politician, spouting a lot of hopeful and idealistic rhetoric. He […]
