Future generations will want to study Barack Obama’s presidency, not only because he made history by being America’s first black President, but because he also appears to be on track to be America’s worst President. Sure, everybody wants to know the minute details of what Abe Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt did in the White House, […]

Three weeks ago, I wrote a post called Steele, McConnell, & Cornyn: What Are They Doing About Jim Bunning? It basically pointed out the obvious to anyone who closely follows politics: it’s highly likely that if Jim Bunning is the GOP candidate in Kentucky next year, we’re probably going to lose the seat. Therefore, the […]

During the 2008 Republican primaries, Ron Paul was semi-regularly appearing on the Alex Jones show. Setting aside any other disagreements I had with Ron Paul, I really didn’t appreciate the fact that he was helping to legitimize a kook by appearing on his show. Well, since the election, Alex Jones has apparently mainstreamed his website […]

….I think this blasphemous, grotesque picture which is scheduled to be shown in NYC’s Union Square on Obama’s 100th day in office should do the trick. Setting aside the offensive blasphemy aspect of this, anyone who builds a politician up to this level is setting himself up for a fall — especially when you’re talking […]

I just finished up Jack Cashill’s What’s the Matter with California?: Cultural Rumbles from the Golden State and Why the Rest of Us Should Be Shaking and found it to be an intriguing read. The book focuses on California’s history and culture in an effort to try to figure out how it became such a […]

I’m a fan of Craigslist for two reasons: First off, from a personal perspective, it’s free and it works. I’ve sold and promoted things on Craigslist and I know other people who have, too — and in my experience, it works just as well as a classified ad, but doesn’t cost anything. You’ve got love […]

What’s going on in Pakistan right now has the potential to be one of the most significant developments in world history. The always shaky Pakistani government is teetering more precariously by the day and a motley collection of Taliban, Al-Qaeda thugs, random terrorist groups, and tribesmen are moving ever closer to getting their hands on […]

DHS has identified retired military, right-wing extremists to monitor; exhuming George Washington to make sure he’s dead. — BOTeleprompter How oppressive must a leader be before we determine that he has not merited a hug by the democratic standard-bearer of the free world, the president of the United States? — Shmuley Boteach Methinks an appropriate […]

“From this arises an argument: whether it is better to be loved than feared. I reply that one should like to be both one and the other; but since it is difficult to join them together, it is much safer to be feared than to be loved when one of the two must be lacking.” […]

Our arrogant new lord and monarch, Barack Obama, is displaying the same level of competence as SUPER-CEO of General Motors as he has everywhere else except public relations — in other words, he’s a human 12 car pile up at rush hour. From Holman Jenkins in the Wall Street Journal, It’s good to be the […]

The unmitigated gall of some people, The father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild said Wednesday night that he might pursue legal action against the Alaska governor’s family, who he says has cut off communication with him and are no longer letting him see their son Tripp. Levi Johnston said during an interview on CNN’s “Larry King […]

Barack Obama may like the idea of trumped up, vindictive prosecutions of his political opponents for “torture,” but initially, even he was smart enough to see where it would lead. If George Bush or Dick Cheney were sent to jail for “torture,” why couldn’t Barack Obama be sent to jail by a future Republican Congress […]

I’m now reading Jack Cashill’s What’s the Matter With California and so far, it’s an entertaining and informative read. About 50 pages in, Cashill wrote about how California introduced the practice of no-fault divorce to the country and the tragic damage that change caused — and, yes, just for the record, I would support rewriting […]

Apparently, we don’t have a Miss USA Pageant anymore. Instead, we have Miss Politically Correct Liberal USA Pageant where contestants will be carefully screened and disqualified for giving politically incorrect answers. Now, you’ve probably already heard about how Perez Hilton — who’s a braindead jackass who draws semen on women’s mouths on his gossip blog […]

This has got to be my fave of the latest Naked Obama and a unicorn pics, There’s also another naked Obama on a unicorn vs. a Palin on a moose pic (I think he should go with a Sarah Palin dressed up heavy metal style, going after Democrats with a moose antler club. I would […]

In what may be the single most inaccurate article ever to appear in the Wall Street Journal unrelated to illegal immigration, Mark Penn claimed there are actually — are you ready for this — 452,000 people making a living at blogging, In America today, there are almost as many people making their living as bloggers […]

* It’s an odd Hollywood driven idea that we need a “cool” leader. Caring about being “cool” should be for singers & celebs, not the POTUS. * For the record, I strongly disagree with any liberals who may want to help the environment by murdering hobos for Earth Day. * The most ironic thing about […]

First of all, I know this column isn’t going to be popular with all the mouth breathing, troglodytic, primitive dittoheads out there. But, facts are facts: conservatives are NEVER, EVER, EVER going to get back into power again. The mainstream media says so, legendary conservative icons like David Frum, Meghan McCain, and David Brooks say […]

Just because I’m curious…

If you want to know why conservatives think taxes are far too high, why tea parties have sprung up across the country, and why the government can’t be trusted to run private companies, take a look at this story. This sort of corruption, inefficiency, and incompetence is endemic to everything that our government does, The […]

I don’t know how I missed it last week, but George Will wrote what may have been the single most unintentionally funny conservative column that I’ve seen since I started blogging. It was called Demon denim, a name that he probably lifted from the 1920s campaign against “Demon rum.” On any American street, or in […]

A.C. Kleinheider wrote a piece for The City Paper called The Tea Party revolution will likely be betrayed. Here’s an except from Kleinheider’s piece that gives you the gist of it, While many on the Right are energized by the level of engagement on display by grassroots libertarians and conservatives in last week’s “Tea Party” […]

At a pro-life dinner last night, Sarah Palin talked about her fleeting thoughts of abortion when she learned she was pregnant with Trig. It was beautiful, sincere, and humanizing because it comes across as so personal and real… (Realizing I was pregnant) blew me away, it rocked my world… It was a time I asked […]

Per USA Today, advocates of illegal immigration are debating whether or not illegals should cooperate with the census, Some Hispanic advocacy groups are calling for illegal immigrants to boycott the 2010 Census unless immigration laws are changed. The move puts them at odds with leading immigrant rights advocates and creates another hurdle in the Census […]

Matt Drudge over at The Drudge Report doesn’t do commentary, but he does remember all the news headlines from years past. …..And when someone, usually Democrats — because they’re used to being given a free pass for their foibles — does something that’s outrageously hypocritical, Drudge loves nothing more than to pancake them by printing […]

“I had no idea how important this week’s nationwide anti-tax tea parties were until hearing liberals denounce them with such ferocity. The New York Times’ Paul Krugman wrote a column attacking the tea parties, apologizing for making fun of “crazy people.” It’s OK, Paul, you’re allowed to do that for the same reason Jews can […]

* The Left has never been as freaked out by Al Qaeda or the Soviet Union as they are over the Tea Parties. * Sign #899 that Obama is polarizing America: I listened to Michael Savage tonight for 30 min and agreed w/ everything he had to say. * Liberals love to think of themselves […]

With newspapers across the country going deeper in the hole by the day and some of them, happily, finally going out of business, perhaps it’s understandable that they’re increasingly lashing out at the new media sources that have been chipping away at their support. However, when the old media makes bad arguments designed to encourage […]
