Believing Barack

We can expect more tap dancing on a grand scale from a future President Obama based on his response to the women banned from his photo op the other day. Gateway Pundit via Debbie Schlussel finds that the women are not sweet little Muslim girls who were discriminated against by Obama but rather radical anti-Israel […]

 

Babies For Love?

This is what the world is coming to: There’s a stunning twist to the sudden rise in teen pregnancies at Gloucester High School. Seventeen students there are expecting and many of them became that way on purpose. Time Magazine first reported that nearly half of the girls confessed to making a pact to get pregnant […]

 

Testosterone Supplementation To Stay Young Feeling & Healthy

Testosterone does good things for a body, both male and female. It increases bone density, muscle mass, mental acuity, increases metabolism, enhances libido and according to this research, fights against metabolic syndrome in older men. So researchers are encouraging older men to supplement with testosterone. Futurepundit (via Instapundit)worries about the evolutionary implications of declining testosterone […]

 



Are Americans That Stupid?

Rachel Lucas wants to start a new category on her blog possibly called, “Most People Are Too Stupid To Vote But They Do Anyway So We Are All Going To Die.” I already have a category “We’re All Gonna Die”, but I usually reserve that for the latest bird flu epidemic, global warming or other […]

 

Poor Rocco

Rocco knew it. The other competitors knew it. When, Tiger Woods sank that put, rimming it, on the 18th hole of the U.S. Open on Sunday, everyone knew it: Game over. Tiger just won, now it was a formality (of winning 18 more holes and a tie-breaker for good measure.) But, it was over. What […]

 

Pro-Life Pharmacies

It might be legal, but is it right? In answering the question for themselves, some pharmacists have refused to fill prescriptions of birth control pills or morning after pills. I am really torn about this whole thing, actually. While I’m all for people not violating their consciences, I just think there are better ways to […]

 

Obama and Absent Fathers

So, Barack Obama gave a resounding sermon, in a church (not Jeremiah Wright’s), on Father’s Day Sunday about the importance of fathers. The black community suffers disproportionately with fatherlessness and the results of this cultural phenomenon manifest many, many social ills from crime, to drug use, to drop-out rates, to incarceration, to teenage pregnancy etc. […]

 

Cell Phone Addiction In Children

So, this conversation happened at the dinner table a few days ago: Daughter 8: Mom, I want a cell phone. Me: No Daughter: Everyone has a cell phone! [Head collapses into arms, dramatic weeping.] Me: [Laughing] No, you are not crying about not having a cell phone. Who? Who has a cellphone? Daughter: Lots of […]

 

Tim Russert Dead At 58

Wanted to pass along this sad news: Tim Russert collapsed at work and later died from cardiac arrest. I’m so sorry for his family. Life, even a long one, is short. He was 58 years old. A quick note–Tim Russert always struck me as fair-minded and incisive. He seemed to be one of the few […]

 

Shoot Mugabe Now

Can we just dispense with the formality of civil society and rid the world of this animal? This is what it means to be the political opposition in Zimbabwe: The men who pulled up in three white pickup trucks were looking for Patson Chipiro, head of the Zimbabwean opposition party in Mhondoro district. His wife, […]

 

Michelle Obama’s Baby’s Daddy

There’s a big stink because Fox News ran a segment about Michelle Obama and the caption included the words “Barack Obama’s Baby Mama”. One could argue that the phrase further dumbs down the American language and is a racial epithet unsuitable for prime time. Or, one could argue that the hip hop culture has come […]

 


The NBA’s Culture of Corruption

Remember when that NBA referee got nailed for attempting to change the game’s outcome? Back then, I wrote in a post titled Tim Donaghy Did Not Act Alone: Let me make a few predictions: Tim Donaghy did not act alone. It is nearly impossible for one ref to destroy the flow of a game. Many […]

 

A Birthday Gift To Remember

So after years of a sexless marriage, a wife provided a novel solution, and later, wrote about it: Charla apparently had no intention of writing about “the gift,” as she euphemistically refers to it. She was simply a homemaker and marketing consultant, who in 2006 wanted to give her husband a special 40th birthday present. […]

 

New York Times: Viva Chavez!

How do these people take themselves seriously? It’s like these liberal reporters try to find the stupidest notion that directly opposes common sense and then expound on it for the dull-witted masses. Today, at the scholars feet, we learn about Hugo Chavez’s democratic impulses. Here are the words Simon Romero of the New York Times […]

 





Airline Fat Fees

Watch out obese, corpulent, fatties, your airplane tickets are going to be more expensive. Yes, everyone is going to be paying more, but fat people, they are going be paying bigger prices to go with their bigger bodies. Well, this all might happen. Or, people might be weighed with their luggage and pay a collective […]

 

It’s My Property, I Can Do What I Want To

Oh boy, some dude over at Kim’s place is bitching because he has to get a permit to put in a pool in his yard and no blankety-blank government should interfere with what is happening on his property. Well, it’s an interesting argument. Houston is rather notorious for it’s lack of building codes. In fact, […]

 

Obligatory NBA Finals Post

My readers know, but Right Wing News readers, will learn that I love sports generally. To introduce: My favorite spectator sport from home is professional football (Go Lions! Go Texans! The Cowboys suck!). I like going to the park to watch baseball (Go Atlanta–until John Smoltz retires! Go Astros! And, once John retires, go Tigers, […]

 



Californians Push Back

The California Supreme Court usurped the will of the people by overturning the results of the previous referendum (Proposition 22) banning gay marriage. Now, the people are fighting back: An initiative that would again outlaw gay marriage in California has qualified for the November ballot, the Secretary of State announced Monday. California Secretary of State […]

 

Hell hath no fury….

…..like a woman scorned. So what will the scorned Hillary Clinton do at the convention? Will she stand by submissively like she did for her husband? She has been well-schooled that way. Her supporters might not be too happy about seeing her docile this time around. Even a Vice Presidency is unlikely to appease them. […]

 

Australia Cuts and Runs

I’m sure they view their actions as courageous, but it just seems like Australia is bailing on a friend and even more, they are bailing on the Iraqi people. Peter Khalil extols the military (rightfully so) and simultaneously claims moral superiority for quitting combat while combat is still needed to achieve this nebulous goal: In […]

 

Cultural Changes In Iraq

The New York Times couldn’t find one woman who was happy with how things are changing in Iraq? Not. One. However, people are staying connected. This was interesting: It’s a funny thing. There is the deterioration of Iraq’s infrastructure — scarring of buildings by bullets holes, streets deformed by concrete blocks, checkpoints. But you can […]
