Spouting off on Twitter, as is my custom, I offended a Senate staffer who said that other Senate staffers (and maybe Senators themselves, who knows) were offended by my blanket statement that, to paraphrase, “Republican Senators are a bunch of inbred cretins”. Okay, so that’s not the nicest way to say what Thomas Sowell more […]

Unlike those on the Left, who undermined the legitimacy of President George W. Bush and took every opportunity to humiliate and hamstring him, it gives me no satisfaction to see President Barack Obama struggle at every turn since his inauguration. It’s not good for America to have the President putting forward tax cheats and criminals, […]

The old rule used to be that if you can’t do, teach. The new rule is that if you can’t do, become a TV “expert”. I’ve done enough media to be a total hypocrite about this, just for your information. But still, who thought it was a good idea to give Matt Millen Big Fat […]

For a big man, President Barack Obama sure has a small man’s complex. The Anchoress has written repeatedly about Barack Obama’s smallness, his “lack of generosity”. Here she says about Obama’s treatment of the Iraqi voting triumph: How awful and really sad, and incredibly childish, to think you can only be proud of your country […]

Had a discussion with a liberal Texan who has not, in her adult years, experienced economic difficulty. That is, unlike me, she has not lived in an economically dying state (New York in the mid-90’s, Michigan in the late 90’s early 00’s) and finally, an economically dead state (NY and MI now). So, a few […]

Okay, guys. I know you’re at work and can’t watch video. So come back tonight, when you get home and watch this. It’s been ridiculous that there hasn’t been anyone able to imitate Obama since he’s so easily impersonated. Finally, a spoof: Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com

I wrote this to respond to another writer who cautioned Republicans against the new media. I think that’s very bad advice. Here’s a bit of my response: Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter provide a means to communicate directly to voters bypassing a self-admittedly biased media. If a politician were told there is a […]

Remember when you got in a fight with a friend and then some sanctimonious busy body got in the middle and tried to mediate and you both turned on him and wanted to beat him senseless? Well, in the Senate, there are a few mushy middle types who believe they know what is best for […]

Name the minority. Just think of one. At one time or another, that minority–Irish, Italian, Black, Mexican, Cuban, etc.–has taken the back seat to the more prominent, and usually earlier, American immigrant majority. And yet one group, no matter the color, who always follows: Women. Sarah Palin’s mistreatment this last election at the hands of […]

Should the New York Times go non-profit? That’s a thought. Will it matter if they do? I’m not sure. From Gizmodo (who has a great video): The piece is about the earliest days of digital media, when the lucky few home computer users could view content from a handful of prominent papers on their “television […]

A stimulus bill ostensibly stimulates the economy to grow. That means that money is put into a system to grow or build things that people want to buy–creating jobs and then creating money and then creating consumers who buy other stuff. It’s not rocket science, really. That’s not what this Stimulus bill before the American […]

Based on this last election cycle, I’ve come to the conclusion that people say that don’t trust the media, but their dominant opinions are still formed by the media. Remember the video of people who could tell you that Sarah Palin’s daughter was pregnant but could remember one Obama idea? It’s kinda like all Americans […]

Some people who survived the Hudson River plane landing feel that $5000 is not enough money to compensate them for their near-death experience. Emphasis on NEAR, because had the pilot been less skillful the people would most certainly BE dead. What is fair in this case? A birds hit the engines and the engines died […]

Iowahawk’s got a list of many. Here are two of my favorites: 8. Go On a Random Killing Spree. The scientific debate is over: our current environmental mess is caused by an oversupply of human beings, and it’s high time we address these two-legged eco problems head on. Next time you’re on your way to […]

Bailouts won’t break Obama–even horrible, pork-laden, bloated, tax-payer beating bailouts. A bleak, miserable, suffering depression wouldn’t sink Obama. Paying women for their embryos, creating human-monkey hybrids and sending them to Mars to start a new society wouldn’t sink Obama. No, people expect a little crazy, a lot of fat, and government salvation during economic difficulty […]

Honestly, I haven’t paid one lick of attention to the dingbat Nancy Pelosi and her birth control ideas. When my mom sends me an email screeching about it, though, I pay attention. That means Nancy’s nonsense has hit the mainstream. Via Drudge, here’s what San Fran Nan said: STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to […]

The Davos summit is going on–you know the place where self-important celebs fly in on their private jets and lecture the little people about incandescent light bulbs. In past years, the important people had the luxury of talking about such silliness. Now, the economic situation is serious and the maneuvering at this summit has huge […]

Imagine a High School basketball team playing another team and winning 100-0. Imagine the beaten team was from a school that helps special needs kids. Imagine the coach of the winners doesn’t put the bench into the game until the 4th quarter. From MSNBC: A Dallas school whose girl’s basketball team beat another team 100-0 […]

President Barack Obama will have a steep learning curve in office. The protocol, the ritual, the press, the lack of privacy, and it’s all new, new, new. I suspect that every president has to get on top of all sorts of rules and regulations for behavior. And I suspect it’s daunting. Imagine learning all that […]

Are Republicans too nice? Is that why we’ve been big, fat losers these last two election cycles? That’s what Doc Weasel [WARNING: Not safe for work] thinks: F*ckwit Andy Levy (sounds like a joke name) at the new Brietbart Big Hollywood site counsels conservatives to eschew the strategy the left used to demonize Bush and […]

The government can’t save you. But you can save you. Is life really that bad out there? I still don’t believe America is anywhere near the misery of the 1920s and 1930s. I actually think Americans are still relatively wealthy. Even with cutting back, people have accumulated so much stuff, unnecessary stuff, that a couple […]

A swing voting, independent friend asked me what I hope President Barack Obama accomplishes. Before launching, I would note that, unlike the the hard-core Left four years ago, I do view President Obama as my President. And I do hope he succeeds. It all depends on how you define success that is the key. More […]

Watching History So You Don’t Have To Note: I’m reversing the thread here and posting newest info first. What was I thinking? This will make it easier to follow. Scroll down for old news. 11:30 AM EST Daughter Malia, lipreading here, says to dad, “That was a good speech. Good speech.” 11:20 AM EST Money […]

Just in case you think the world will finally be saved once all the Boomers are pushing up daisies, I have bad news for you: they spawned. The Boomers had kids who call themselves, without irony, “Generation We”. Here’s their video: Generation WE: The Movement Begins… from Generation We on Vimeo. Tiresome, self-congratulatory and preening….wow, […]

How long can the Obasm last? That’s the question before us and that’s the question that provoked spirited debate among some friends this weekend. Friends argued that the honeymoon would be short because Obama wouldn’t be able to keep his promises, that the economy would stink, and that people are fickle. Voters turn quickly when […]

Here is your brain on liberal fiscal policies: California’s controller says he will begin a 30-day delay on tax refunds and other payments starting Feb. 1 because the state is running out of money. The solution, of course, isn’t to cut spending, scale back on largess and live within one’s means. The solution is to […]

Beware the “fixers”, the tinkerers, the fiddlers when it comes to the economy: But the whole idea of fixing, running, regulating, designing, or modeling an economy rests on the notion that, if the right smart guys are at the rheostats, the economy can be ordered by intelligent design. But the economy is no mechanism. There […]

How big of a deal is it that there are gay people serving in the military? From Repurblican: There are Americans of many stars and stripes that are in our Armed Forces, and among the many things President-elect Obama could do to really attack our Services — such as characterizing military operations in Afghanistan as […]

So my sister takes me to her place of employment. It’s winter break, and unlike in the United States, Australians just take off for a couple weeks through the holidays. The few people at the office the fam and I get to meet. My sister reminds us to behave, to be gracious and introduce ourselves […]

….an A@@hole jerk vindictive bastard guy who will never be trusted again. By anyone. Ever. Enter C. Brian Smith. Mr. Smith was a guest at a gracious host’s home. He ate their food. He watched movies with them. He enjoyed their hospitality. The host, like everyone else in the world, had unique quirks. And when […]
