The President made a whole lot of comments regarding truth and falsehood in His speech to a joint session of Congress this week. However, after He “corrected” the record and the fact-checkers got done fact-checking His corrections, it seems the “rumors” that He was “correcting” were not regarding anything that exists on this plane of […]

We know precisely what a nine/ten mentality is. Precisely. Let anyone forget, Senator Kerry in the week just past was kind enough to remind us. As James Taranto observed in his Best of the Web online column, the headline said it all: Kerry Marks Eve of 9/11 Anniversary With Push for Climate Legislation The nine/eleven […]

Much of the “governing” that took place in our country throughout the twentieth century, has consisted of a) identifying a problematic social program that had been put in place in some past generation to redistribute money — what in God’s name were we thinking when we put that turkey in?? — and b) putting together […]

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” — Upton Sinclair I was watching democrat party advisors and consultants “guest” on the Fox News Channel to peddle their sh*t, and a very simple thought jumped into my head. At first I thought it was […]

Instead of coming up with dumbass laws to pass to “honor his memory,” I thought it would be a much better idea to figure out what we can bury forever right now… I cut it off at ten. I don’t think there’d be much difficulty involved in pushing it out to a hundred, so leave […]

I come from a strange, faraway planet…the third one from its sun, a place known as “Earth” popuulated by humanoid people who have red blood in their veins. Perhaps because of my strange otherwordly origins I have some strange thoughts in my head, like these… I know certain things because a whole lot of people […]

The Airplane movies would be proud of this one. It’s wrong to find out why an “ordinary American” who has never been within five thousand miles of America in his entire life, wants to call Osama bin Laden on his satellite phone from Amman or Damascus. But the feds are going to put cookies on […]

Neo-Neocon aptly dissects Camille Paglia, who in turn represents many Obama supporters that are beginning to wake up to the fact that He is slightly different from what He was pretending to be…but still want to cling to some part of last year’s dream, and therefore remain partially clueless. Obama is a savior for the […]

Thing I Know #94. There are a lot of people walking around who put lots of energy into telling others that something can’t be done. Gregory Clark, a perfesser of Economics at UCal/Davis, seems to think success is something our modern society cannot afford: With the march of technology, the size of a future American […]

I had this horrible nightmare in which I was becoming a good friend of mine, an older gentleman who drank himself to death. It got me to thinking some more about Meghan McCain’s idiotic comments, and how they connect together with what I had to say in response to one of Mahatma Ghandi’s most famous […]

So we got another round yesterday of Palin rumors, and as always it was nicely mixed in with loads of bile targeted at Alaska’s former Governor and anyone who would dare to see anything positive about anything she has done: Earlier this week one of my best sources claimed to have explosive new information for […]

Pure self-inflicted political damage, from The One who is supposed to be the nation’s premier political genius. Much discussion about a sit-down taking place. Not a single word about what was supposed to be said, what in fact was said, what came of it, who feels all warm and fuzzy about it who didn’t feel […]

Me, in the e-mails, elaborating on the brilliance I showed yesterday morning: If, when we as individuals make dumbass decisions, we can expect to deal a severe injury to ourselves but to none of our neighbors — then we have the makings of a free society. If, on the other hand, our reprehensibly bad judgment […]

That headline makes our chosen topic sound oh so much more exciting than it really is. A one-day moratorium is being announced for August 4 on a bunch of guy-centered online mags, like this one and this one and this one and this one, against anything related to the sexpot star of Transformers movies. Well, […]

Looks like my thoughts about liberals wanting to debate politics, and then once cornered turning on-a-dime and announcing to all within earshot that they’re being hussled, hassled, brow-beaten, fed up, saturated, being held as a captive audience, victimized, et cetera, has struck a nerve with some others who’ve gone through similar experiences. This makes me […]

“O.K., Thursday’s jobs report settles it. We’re going to need a bigger stimulus.” — Economist Paul Krugman of the New York Times (hat tip: Conservative Grapevine) “One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists of establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, […]

Inspired by the post immediately previous, and the realization that our President has revived a campaign slogan for unthinking dolts to sell a dumb idea that He knows He cannot sell by appealing to reason and common sense — I decided to retitle the page called How To Make Large Numbers Of Some Reasonable People […]

Blog sister Daphne would like someone — anyone — to explain eco-feminism to her. It’s a pretty tall order. Eco-feminism is inherently incoherent because as a collection of alternative values and scruples, it is designed to oppose something else. And it isn’t willing to admit this. This is why it consists of so many things […]

It all comes down to apologies for being. Not apologies for doing, but apologies for being. Surely you’ve noticed, haven’t you. Anytime an issue comes up that has something to do with belief in a Capital-C Creator — it happens just as simultaneously and just as suddenly as if someone yelled “Go.” We line up […]

Purple Avenger is posting on Ace’s blog, inviting comments: Among your purchases, what are your big wins and epic fails? One of each, please. As of now there are 547 comments, so you know there is some interesting/entertaining reading in there. For my money — the same way George Washington was posthumously promoted to outrank […]

Do you realize what an incredible week this has been? I’m ready to go ahead and call it right now: In the months and years ahead, when Republicans and democrats try to figure out when the national scene all turned around, there will be bipartisan agreement that the fickle wheel of fortune did its spinning […]

The eighth amendment, which outlaws cruel and unusual punishment, is worded in such a way that its application is entirely subjective. Whether that is deliberate or not, it has been interpreted as a blank-check the courts can use to apply our “evolving mores of decency” and because of this, the traditional punishment of being locked […]

I must cleanse my soul, for I am about to re-tell a glorious, scrumptious tale of someone backpedaling. But in the last few hours, I have had to backpedal too, so let us tell that story first. I tossed in a quart when a pint was the correct dose. It happens. Daphne’s place is being […]

Goodperson Fever (n.) is an obsessive-compulsive disorder involving the demonstration of certain positive attributes to strangers, for purposes of self-validation. It becomes a self-perpetuating cycle if these positive attributes don’t really exist, or if there is a great need to achieve this validation for purposes of acquiring social status, contrasted with a much lower level […]

Fellow Right Wing News contributor William Teach brings us up to date, as of yesterday: If the Democrats thought the Central Intelligence Agency was out to get them over the past few weeks, they ain’t seen nuttin’ yet after this little bit of insanity House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today accused intelligence officials of giving her […]
