Rob Andrews, swamp dweller

Remember when Nancy Pelosi promised to “drain the swamp” in Congress? Yeah, me neither. So imagine my surprise when the House Ethics Committee announced on Friday that their investigation of Rep.

Now more than ever we must continue praying for religious freedom

Since it is now proven that Obamacare is a tax, Father Z has a most excellent question: Isn’t it now the case that if the Obama Administration punishes St. Ipsidipsy Catholic Hospital in Black Duck for refusing to provide employees their abortifacient pills, then the Federal Government is taxing the exercise of religion? Why yes, […]

 

How liberals spin Obama’s “govt vs private sector” gaffe: Romney hates cops!

Well that didn’t take long. The lame-stream media, always prepared to carry Obama’s water, is hitting back at Mitt Romney. Because Romney dared to point out the foolishness of Obama’s “the private sector is doing OK, we need more public employee unionistas” remark from yesterday. Their spin? Romney hates cops. Presumably because he hasn’t called […]

The Divergent Judicial Careers of Phillip Kwon and Elena Kagan

NJ Democrats rejected Governor Chris Christie’s nomination of Phillip Kwon to the State Supreme Court. Why? Because he’s a Republican. And he’s on the staff of the Attorney General’s office.

Fella’s Favorite Feminist Flubs Federalism, Feeds Family Fallacious Foolishness

Do you guys remember my favorite feminist? I came across her again while voting for Political Junkie Mom in the Top 25 Political Moms poll. (You should go vote for PJmom too!)

Shocker, Obama bundler and MF Global honcho Jon Corzine is unlikely to face criminal charges

Well the feds shuffled a few papers, peeked into a desk drawer or two at MF Global, and shockingly found nothing criminal with which to charge Jon Corzine, or anyone else. $1.2 billion dollars in customer money went poof! and federal investigators have been “unable to find a smoking gun.” As if Eric Holder’s Injustice […]

Mitt Romney, the liberal Democrat’s choice for president

It was Christmas Holiday party weekend in the neighborhood. Interestingly several folks approached me to say essentially the same thing – “Will you guys* please stop screwing around and just nominate Mitt Romney. Otherwise we’ll be forced to vote for Obama again.” *I’m the token Republican in a sea of blue state leftists, so naturally […]

 

Yowzah, I scored big bucks from the Ticketmaster class action lawsuit!

Today must be my lucky day. In my email was an Official Notice, from some lawyers I’d never heard of, announcing with great fanfare the favorable settlement of a class-action lawsuit brought on my behalf against Ticketmaster. Apparently it’s a Real Thing, because it made the news. Anyway, I’m entitled to some coupons! For a […]

 

Their Arab brothers should fund Palestinian Hamasistan, not us

Gee, it’s about time. The United States Congress has blocked nearly $200m in aid for the Palestinians, threatening projects such as food aid, health care, and support for efforts to build a functioning state. Yeah, because only the United States can fund “food aid” and “health care” for terrorist monsters! Hamas has plenty of Arab […]

 


OK kids, it’s time once again to play “Name That Party!”

Oh great, Green Power will screw up the electrical grid and make our clocks run fast

Starting next month the clock on your oven will probably be wrong. No, it won’t be broken, but the electric current it relies on to count the minutes will start deviating from the tried and true standard of 60 cycles per second.

Rutgers student pleads guilty to ThoughtCrime

So now our state is prosecuting ThoughtCrime. Under penalty of incarceration Rutgers student Molly Wei will enter a re-education camp for indoctrination into “alternate lifestyles.” The State will wash away all of her improper thoughts.

FCC net neutrality mavens impose forced wireless broadband sharing

Maybe now that Congress is done haggling over miniscule budget cuts they can return their attention to the Obama Administration’s net neutrality power grab. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is hell-bent on redistributing the networks built by AT&T and Verizon to every penny ante bit player who comes along. Why build your own wireless network when […]

 

In NJ Redistricting fight the people got hosed

It’s the kind of inside baseball political battle that cures most people’s insomnia — the decennial redrawing of NJ’s legislative districts.

TSA wants your DNA

I’ll bet you thought the TSA’s “enhanced” patdown procedures could not possibly get more invasive. Think again. Beginning this summer TSA will start collecting travelers’ DNA.

Gay activists target Chick-Fil-A

To the proponents of the radical homosexual agenda tolerance only goes one way. We must tolerate them, or else. As for their tolerance toward others, not so much.

Let’s break out the chainsaws – 5 programs the GOP can cut today

I want to give Speaker John Boehner the benefit of the doubt. Really, I do. But it’s hard when he fumbles the gimmes like he did in an interview with Brian Williams of NBC News. WILLIAMS: Name a program right now that we could do without. BOEHNER: I don’t think I have one off the […]

Stephen Breyer: Your Constitutional Rights vary with geography

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer appeared on Fox News Sunday this morning. He spoke to his interpretation of the Founding Fathers’ intent with regard to gun control.
