I think this piece entitled ‘Dark passage for America’ is well worth reading because it illustrates why the left is so incapable of defending our country from the terrorists who want to kill us. Just look at how hysterical and overwrought Jimmy Breslin’s reaction is to our new policy of fingerprinting and photographing visitors to […]

If you thought the enviro-loonies and red tape slinging lefties at the EPA were bad, just wait until you get a load of their ideological soulmates in Britain… “Edward James, 51, from Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, bought the half-acre wood overlooking the Crouch estuary near Hockley so that he and a few friends could sit cross-legged and […]

Las Vegas oddsmakers have revised the line on Pete Rose getting admitted to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in the wake of his admission that he gambled on baseball during his stint as a team manager. “It’s about even odds now,” said an unnamed Vegas bookie. “As a 14-year unrepentant liar, he was […]

Back in November of last year when I was slapping around St. Joseph’s professor Paul Ginnetty for treating conservatism like a mental condition, I said this, “(W)hen Republican winners go to Capitol Hill, Democratic losers have a tendency to explain their side’s losses by saying the voters were — A) Stupid B) Racist C) Anti-Intellectuals […]

Just to give you an idea of how influential they are, keep in mind that, — They claim to have “2,000,000 online activists”. — George Soros gave them 5 million dollars. — The judges for their ad contest include […]

It would be tempting to write off this article as the scribblings of a pie-in-the-sky idealist who no one would ever take seriously if there weren’t already a US Senator and Democratic Candidate for President who have previously come out in favor of his silly idea. What is the idea we’re talking about you ask? […]

Howard Dean today announced that one of his first acts as president will be to create what he called the “United Blanco College Fund.” The $4 billion fund would provide scholarships to “progressive” universities for promising students who don’t yet understand racial issues.

“It was trailed as a “unique chance to rewrite the law of the land”. Listeners to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme were asked to suggest a piece of legislation to improve life in Britain, with the promise that an MP would then attempt to get it onto the statute books….” That’s certainly an interesting concept, […]

Here is a comment from, “The Problem With The Minimum Wage” post that I put up on Friday… “…We don’t need a higher minimum wage, we need a maximum wage. Say, $10 million per year.

After being on the receiving end of numerous attacks from his Democratic rivals throughout the weekend, Howard Dean had reason to be optimistic today when a new poll showed he could become the next president of the United States — if enough people get totally plastered before voting.

James Lileks captured a thought I’ve had for a while now but haven’t gotten around to writing about, “…(W)e live in an era of non-contiguous information streams. I believe one thing; someone else believes another – and the bedrock assumptions are utterly contradictory. This is what drives me nuts about discussing current events with some […]

After a year of trudging through the Democratic Underground fever swamp, I thought it would be fun to put together the 10 worst quotes of the year from the DU. Picking out only 10 was pretty tough, but after much thought, I was able to narrow it down. Enjoy the wackiness, paranoia, and venom… (Cont) […]

Howard Dean has come out in favor of raising the minimum wage, “If elected, (Dean) promised to raise the national minimum wage to $7 per hour, up from $5.15. “Our philosophy is give the working people a little more money and they might be able to go down and spend something on Main Street,” he […]

Here’s one more example of left’s slide into paranoia and delusion that appears in a column written by Kurt Nimmo on the wildly popular (16k+ readers per day) Smirking Chimp website…. “Bush’s fraudulent terror alerts endeavor to convince America that “sufficient threat” exists to such a perilous degree from a largely mythical al-Qaeda that not […]

Now of course, it’s not over until the fat lady sings, but anyone who follows politics knows that the Democratic candidate, especially Howard Dean, is going to have a really tough time knocking off Bush.
