Infertile, Irrelevant Men And A Health Care System That Won’t Help Them

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

So, I’m reading this article about the decline in male fertility. Unfortunately, lots of dudes are shooting blanks. Maybe the whole Beta-Metrosexual Male thing isn’t metaphorical–maybe it’s also literal. The big question: Is it nature or is it nurture? I expect it’s both. Anyway, the more interesting part of the article, was the UK’s health […]

 

They Are ILLEGAL Immigrants And Most Aren’t Immigrating

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

When a foreigner traverses our borders to get a job and then sneaks back over when there are no longer jobs, the foreigner is not an immigrant nor a resident. He is a visitor. And his actions are illegal. The monkeying with the language confuses the argument, which, of course, is the point. Americans discern […]

 

For The Left, The Best Belief Is Unbelief: Why Kagan Would Never Be Dumped As Nominee

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Last week, I had a thought-provoking discussion with S.E. Cupp about how liberals want to take God out of public discourse. She said something that’s had me thinking: “Liberals are not comfortable with fixed value systems.” That discussion got me thinking about Elena Kagan and some complaints from the left about her. They all ring […]

 

How Much Does President Obama Love Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton? This Much

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I don’t believe, even now, even for an instant, that there’s any love lost between Barack Obama who sits on a mountain of cash, and his former rival, Hillary Clinton, still sunk in serious debt. So, Bill is trying to dig his wife out of her money problems: Subscribers to Clinton’s formidable e-mail list, amassed […]

 

Taxed Enough Already: USA Today & Everyone Trumpeting Low Tax Rates

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Don’t you just love the Democrat loving, not-so-concealed bias of the press? Today, they’re seen priming the pump for tax increases: Federal, state and local taxes – including income, property, sales and other taxes – consumed 9.2% of all personal income in 2009, the lowest rate since 1950, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reports. That […]

 

Card Check By Obama Administration Fiat

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Labor unions rolls decline and so, the Obama administration gives them a win they couldn’t get legislatively: Labor unions will have an easier time organizing workers at U.S. airline and railroad companies after the Obama administration on Monday changed a 76-year-old rule on union elections. The change is a major victory for unions that have […]

 

Elena Kagan: She’s Just Like Obama!–UPDATED

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Like most politically interested Americans, I’m gobbling up all I can find about Elena Kagan. And the portrait that’s emerging looks very familiar. In fact, Elena Kagan looks a lot like the man nominating her for the Supreme Court: She is young, smart, brash, inexperienced, possibly socialist, calculating, and affable. The choice says more about […]

 

Keith Olbermann And The Origins Of The Tea Bagger Moniker

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Yesterday, Keith Olbermann called me out for my post shaming President Obama for using the derogatory term “tea bagger”. Here’s the video [thanks Tab Hale, for the help]: As usual, Keith is wrong. First, when the Tea Party folks used the term “tea bag”–as in, let’s send tea bags to Congress, they meant literal tea […]

 

Sarah Palin Is A Republican Who Speaks At Tea Party Events Occasionally

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Many Sarah Palin devotees seem shocked that Sarah Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina for Senator. They believed Sarah Palin to be representative of the Tea Party–who all endorse Chuck DeVore. Sarah Palin is first, a Republican. Sarah Palin has shown loyalty to John McCain and Carly Fiorina is a friend to John. Perhaps she feels it’s […]

 

Mommy Oldest: Societal Consequences Of Delayed Child-Bearing

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Here’s their guess: The statistics reflect far-reaching changes for women in society, affecting their decisions on when to marry and start families. The average age […]

 

Freddie Mac Needs Another Bailout: Isn’t Congress Awesome?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The business geniuses in Congress deliver value to shareholders: Freddie Mac is asking for $10.6 billion in additional federal aid after posting a big loss in the first three months of the year. It’s another sign that the taxpayer bill for stabilizing the housing market will keep mounting. The McLean, Va.-based mortgage finance company has […]

 

Still No Jobs: There Will Be No Reagan Recovery Because There Is No Reagan Policy

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Oh those evil “jobless recoveries”, remember them? Yeah, well, we have one. The jobs just aren’t magically appearing: The Economist says “something’s not working”: IN THE summer of 1984, Ronald Reagan declared “morning in America”. Running for re-election after a tumultuous first term during which unemployment rose to a postwar record of 10.8%, the president […]

 

Times Square Bomb: And The Conspiracy Theories And Media Memes Begin

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

So, as Rush says, will it be the “poor, widdle, fore-closed-on, deceived, disheartened, marginalized” terrorist or will it all be a conspiracy by the Jooos? While Rush talks about the former, I’ll note the latter. From Gordon Duff of Veterans Today: Who would have believed it? Only days after a warning of an Israeli “false […]

NOT SAFE FOR WORK. DO NOT OPEN AT WORK. YOU ARE WARNED.

Sarah Palin: Drill, Baby Drill!

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Sarah Palin encouraged Americans to still believe in domestic drilling. From her Facebook page she says: In the coming days, there will be hearings to discover the cause of the explosion and the subsequent leak.

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

You’re about to poop your pants because you’ve eaten something bad. The flight attendant doesn’t want to get out of your way. You push by her. You are arrested.

We Like The IDEA Of Providing Sanctuary…

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The reality of being a sanctuary city, well, it’s not quite so appealing: City leaders in San Francisco, where there are more than 800,000 residents, could not be reached for comment. Other cities and states that provide safe havens to illegal immigrants have called on the federal government to overhaul the immigration system as they […]

The Sneaky Anti-Semitism Of The Obama Administration

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Go over to The Anchoress and watch the ostensibly offending joke. Then come back. Was it offensive? Text here: “I’d like to begin with a story that I think is true, a Taliban militant gets lost and is wandering around the desert looking for water. He finally arrives at a store run by a Jew […]

 

Dear President Obama, I Call Bullshizen

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I do not believe this for one minute: In the two-minute and 42-second video released Monday, Obama emphasizes that the key to victory for Democrats in November will be convincing the people who helped fuel his 2008 White House bid – first-time voters – to head to the polls for the second time in two […]
