Is It Really Anti-Incumbent Rage?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I’m wondering about this. This headline for the Blanche Lincoln loss in Arkansas is conventional wisdom; “Anti-Incumbent Rage Bypasses Arkansas“. But I am not sure that’s the conclusion to come to in the elections, at all. There is anti-establishment rage. There is anti-big government rage. There is anti-tone deaf rage. There will be some incumbents […]

 

Stupid Liberals & The Economics They Don’t Get

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Oh, the mirth! A liberal on Twitter was talking about the “progressive approach to fiscal responsibility.” Oh I laughed out loud, I did. And when I did, I was chided about President Bush’s fiscal irresponsibility. You know what? Fiscal conservatives didn’t like big spending then, either. So anyway, turns out that liberals are stupid when […]

 

Uh Oh: Progressives Are Going To Take Matters Into Their Own Hands

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

It’s challenging to fathom what more progressives want for America, but they’re not satisfied. They want MORE. They want more government, bigger government and they want President Obama to be an out and proud progressive. I’m not surprised that they’re not happy. These are the folks who make their stock in trade victimhood. As long […]

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Well, there’s one way to get a male’s attention: make sure he doesn’t make the Top Twenty Hottest Conservative guys (in case you guys think you don’t want to see that nonsense, I would suggest that you look at the judges).

Blacks Only: No Whites Allowed: What Is Going On In Georgia’s 4th?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Racism goes both ways. Liz Carter, Republican, running for congress in Georgia’s 4th and the most qualified candidate by far, is being excluded from a debate today because….she’s white. From Liz’s Facebook page: Just informed “Black Candidates” Only Tonight” So because I’m white I’m not invited to participate even though it is a Democrat and […]

 

Some Things Should Go Without Saying: Sack Tapping Is Stupid

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Is our country getting dumber? Stories like these make me think so: Alright kids, we need to talk. Please take my advice: Stop watching stupid things on YouTube and then trying them at home.

Moody’s: U.S. Spending Risks Credit Rating

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

What is astonishing about the Moody’s credit rating is that America still has Aaa standing at all.

Benjamin Netanyahu Invited To White House

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Evidently, President Obama wants to mend fences with Benjamin Netanyahu so he’s invited the Prime Minister to the White House next week. I wonder if he’ll feed him dinner. Hmmm…I wonder if President Obama is feeling friendly because of this: United States President Barack Obama has lost nearly half of his support among American Jews, […]

People Hate Democrats, They Really Hate Them

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

You won’t see this on the TV because it’s not nice news for Democrats, but things bode ill for the two Congressional Democratic leaders. Andrew Malcolm reports the Rasmussen poll results: The new Rasmussen Reports poll says it’s a good thing for House Speaker Nancy “We Will Have a Healthcare Bill” Pelosi that she only […]

 

Obama Doesn’t Need Teflon: He’s A Democrat

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

In my latest Pajamas column I talk about how President Obama is forgiven anything and everything simply because he’s a Democrat. Also, I talk about the media elites ignoring stories that don’t matter to them. Here are some of my thoughts: As in Houston in 2008 and Nashville in 2010, there is real bias in […]

 

21 Rules For Politicians Using Social Media

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Mashable’s Brian Solis wrote an excellent post entitled “21 Rules for Social Media Engagement“. They are good rules. I thought I’d add some thoughts from a political perspective because some are doing it way wrong, some just a little wrong and some aren’t doing social media at all (these are the stupid people). I’m going […]

The Administration’s Evil War On Bacon

The administration wants to reduce the sodium content of foods, that means your favorites, like bacon, may be destined for history (via Ben Domenech of New Ledger): The Washington Post reports that the Food and Drug Administration plans an unprecedented effort to reduce gradually Americans’ salt consumption.

Who Says The Elites And Liberals Hate America? Oh, Wait! They Do

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Both the cultural elites, liberals and young people view America with derision. The Baby Boomers have done their jobs, man. Their progeny don’t see America as a force for good in the world. What a disgusting state of affairs. Rasmussen reports these poll results: Conservatives overwhelmingly believe that the United States is the last best […]

 

Why Michelle Obama’s Fat Report Isn’t Reported

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Howard Kurtz wonders why the media isn’t covering Michelle Obama’s fat report when the media love Michelle Obama. It’s because the media loves her that they’re staying quiet. Why? First, it reinforces the whole image of a nanny government poking into every aspect of every person’s life. The media knows how this sort of thing […]

 

How Chris Christie Press Smackdown Is Different Than President Obama’s Lecturing

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

When President Obama lectures the press, he’s lecturing adoring sycophants. Their problem is that they don’t love enough. When Chris Christie lectures the press, it’s because they are fundamentally unfair and biased. Dave Weigel loses that fact and says this: I can’t help but notice, however, the difference between the reaction Christie’s getting and the […]

Unbelievable. But not really: Nine days ago the data protection authority (DPA) in Hamburg, Germany asked to audit the WiFi data that our Street View cars collect for use in location-based products like Google Maps for mobile, which enables people to find local restaurants or get directions.
