The Global Warming Gravy Train

Posted on May 16, 2011May 16, 2011 by John Hawkins

It almost seems unfair to lay a kick into the side of the global warming alarmists when they’re down, but this column from David Evans, formerly of the Australian Greenhouse Office, is full of way too much sweet, juicy truth to ignore. I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy train, understands the […]

An Eye-For-An-Eye In Iran: Seems Fair Enough To Me

Posted on May 16, 2011May 18, 2011 by John Hawkins

The Constitution forbids us from engaging in “cruel and unusual punishment;” so we certainly aren’t allowed to follow Iran’s lead here. However, don’t look for any high-minded rants from me about how “uncivilized” Iran is supposedly being here. The procedure was planned for Tehran at midday on Saturday in the presence of Ameneh Bahrami, the […]

The Best Quotes From “Diary Of A Hedge Fund Manager”

Posted on May 16, 2011May 18, 2011 by John Hawkins

I just finished up Diary of a Hedge Fund Manager: From the Top, to the Bottom, and Back Again. It was an outstanding book, not only because it taught me a lot about how hedge funds work, but because it was well written and very motivational. Unfortunately, the hedge fund business pays a higher multiple […]

I Now Know Why You Don’t Typically See Baby Possums On Cute Overload

Posted on May 14, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

So, I had taken my dog outside and he’s EXCITED. I mean, excited even for him — and this is a dog who gets so happy he almost passes out when he sees me in the morning or gets to go for a walk. I figured he caught wind of a cat. Close, but not […]

Rand Paul Was Right; You Don’t Have A “Right” To Anything Another Human Being Has To Produce.

Posted on May 13, 2011May 15, 2011 by John Hawkins

With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to healthcare, you have to realize what that implies. It’s not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. It means that you’re going to enslave not […]

Why I’m Glad I Haven’t Gotten Married….Yet

Posted on May 13, 2011May 15, 2011 by John Hawkins

One of the reasons I’m such a big fan of Warren Farrell’s book Why Men Are The Way The Are is because it helped me look at an important aspect of my life from a different angle. You see, although I do plan to get married, I can’t help but note that most of my […]

Plus, I hate guys showing off their abs. It’s vulgar. That’s why I don’t do it. In fact, I find it so vulgar I have taken great precautions to make sure I never cross this line, such as dilligently encasing my rippling abs in a protective slab of Modesty Fat. — Ace Root-canal economics has […]

The City Of Dallas Steals $2000 From A 15-Year-Old Who Did The Right Thing

Posted on May 12, 2011May 15, 2011 by John Hawkins

Americans love stories about people who find large amounts of money and are honest enough to turn it in — stories about people like 15-year-old Ashley Donaldson. She found $2000 in an envelope and although it must have been tempting to keep that cash, she decided to do the right thing and turn it in […]

Does Paying Retirees A Million Dollars In Government Benefits Sound Sustainable To You?

Posted on May 12, 2011May 12, 2011 by John Hawkins

Here’s the blunt truth that most politicians don’t have the guts to tell you: Medicare and Social Security cannot survive in their current form. Either we make some significant changes to how the programs are run or one day, taxes will rise to an almost unimaginable level that will completely destroy the economy or the […]

An Interview With Warren Farrell, The Author Of “Why Men Are the Way They Are.”

Posted on May 12, 2011May 14, 2011 by John Hawkins

I really enjoyed Warren Farrell’s incredibly insightful book, Why Men Are the Way They Are. In fact, I liked it so much I put together a list of quotations from the book. I’ve also just finished one of his other books, The Myth of Male Power. I can’t say that I agreed with everything in […]

Christians Shouldn’t Approve Of Churches Being Made Into Mosques

Posted on May 11, 2011 by John Hawkins

If you’re Christian, then you shouldn’t do anything to help false religions prosper. That’s why this is so bizarre, A Muslim group plans to turn a church into a mosque after Swedish pentecostalists decided to sell a superfluous property in Flen in eastern Sweden in a display of “Christian love”. …However, selling the church to […]

Obama: We’ve Already Done Everything We Need To Do To Enforce Immigration Laws

Posted on May 11, 2011May 11, 2011 by John Hawkins

“We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement.” — Barack Obama, May 10, 2011 In other words, in Barack Obama’s eyes, we’ve done everything we need to do to enforce our immigration laws.

Palin’s Problem Isn’t What She’s Done; It’s Who She Is

Posted on May 11, 2011May 13, 2011 by John Hawkins

Over at Commentary, John Podhoretz has noted Sarah Palin’s dramatic loss of popularity and is speculating on why it has happened. Alas, as Levin suggested might happen and as Green says has happened, Palin came almost immediately to inhabit a different role in the American body politic–not the “maverick” she was chosen to be by […]

Thumbs Up To Boehner’s Debt Ceiling Deal Offer

Posted on May 10, 2011May 10, 2011 by John Hawkins

I am not one of those conservatives who thinks we should never raise taxes. Like Reagan, I believe there’s a time and a place for tax increases. However, as I’ve written, “it would be a terrible idea to raise taxes on anybody right now, whether it’s by letting the Bush tax cuts expire or by […]

E.J. Dionne: The Taxpayers Losing Billions? It’s A Huge Success!

Posted on May 10, 2011May 10, 2011 by John Hawkins

This column from E.J. Dionne Jr. tells you so, so, so much about the way liberals think or, more aptly, don’t think at all about certain subjects… Rescuing Detroit: No news about government’s good news Don’t expect to see a lot of newspapers and Web sites with this headline: “Big Government Bailout Worked.” But it […]

Is Obama Deliberately Trying To Sabotage Our Own War In Afghanistan? It Sure Looks Like It.

Posted on May 10, 2011May 12, 2011 by John Hawkins

Barack Obama’s entire presidency has been characterized by bumbling and amateurishness. This is an inexperienced President who doesn’t know how to govern and either doesn’t have advisers capable of explaining how things work to him or he doesn’t listen to those advisers. This has been particularly noticeable in foreign affairs where his bowing and bungling […]

Liberal “Patriotism” In Quotes (20 Quotes)

Posted on May 10, 2011August 27, 2011 by John Hawkins

It has been heartwarming to see a few liberals actually thumping their chests about America in the wake of Osama Bin Laden’s death via old age and a bullet to the face (but mostly a bullet to the face.) It’s just so nice to see our liberal brethren feeling, for a few brief moments at […]

I Dream Of Ahmadinejad!

Posted on May 9, 2011May 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

Like me, many of you have probably said, “Know what politics could really use? More genies!” I mean, who wouldn’t want Barbara Eden granting them unlimited wishes? There’s an answer to that question, by the way — it’s the Iranians. Close allies of Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have been accused of using supernatural powers to […]

The World’s Supposed To End On May 21?

Posted on May 9, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

This week-end, when I was in D.C., there were a surprising number of ads around the city proclaiming that the Bible says the world’s going to end on May 21. Of course, the Bible doesn’t say the world is going to end on the 21st. In fact, the guy predicting it has already gotten it […]

The 2011 Media Research Center Gala Picture Post (28 Pics)

Posted on May 9, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

A couple of months back, I got an invite to the big yearly 2011 Media Research Center Gala. Since I’d never been before and I thought it would be a lot of fun, I decided to attend. Still, it’s a 7 hour drive for me into D.C. and if I was going that far, I […]

The Degenerate Masters Of Neutrality Vs. Americans Over Bin Laden’s Death

Posted on May 6, 2011May 6, 2011 by John Hawkins

Proving you’ll die if you kill Americans is a hell of a lot more important than proving we’re more moral than our enemies. Some people still don’t get that and probably never will. Some are questioning whether “justice” in fact was done, as President Obama portrayed the killing, and whether the American troops made any […]

Michael Moore: America’s Most Prominent Deather

Posted on May 6, 2011May 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

Michael Moore is widely revered on the Left, he’s the best known political documentarian in America, and he’s so well thought of amongst liberals that he even famously sat next to Jimmy Carter at the 2004 Democratic convention. Michael Moore is also a deather — someone who believes that the US government already had Bin […]

For every person who goes to market seeking to purchase snake-oil and magic beans, there is at least one person who will set up a stand and agree to sell him such products.– Ace There’s much that’s unrealistic about pledging eternal monogamy, but sexually open relationships don’t work for a whole lot of people. — […]

* The type of life you have is created by the choices you’ve made.

Killing Bin Laden Once Again Makes The Case For Assassination

Posted on May 5, 2011May 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

We still don’t have all the facts about the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden and the ones we do have seem to still be changing. However, at this point, it sounds like our men went in with the intention of killing Osama Bin Laden and they didn’t have any qualms about putting a bullet […]

The GOP’s Minority Trap

Posted on May 5, 2011May 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

By 2050, America is expected to have a “majority minority” population and every vote from now until then, we can expect minorities to account for a larger share of the voting population. This is not good news for the Republican Party because black Americans vote for the Democratic Party 9-to-1 and Hispanic Americans lean to […]

Waterboarding Vindicated By Bin Laden’s Death! Hooray!

Posted on May 4, 2011 by John Hawkins

Let me just put it this way: waterboarding isn’t torture. I’m not the least bit sorry, embarrassed, or troubled that it was used at Guantanamo Bay. In fact, I wouldn’t have been troubled if it had been used on fifty times as many prisoners. They’re terrorists who use real torture on our men. Stop crying […]
