New Jersey: Go vote.

I got to spend part of my weekend in Jackson, New Jersey. It was a blast. You people up in NJ are crazy in the best possible way. I got there around lunch time and it was freezing and drizzling, but people still showed up. I think I bring inclement weather with me everywhere I […]

 

Meet Juanita Tillery.

Juanita Tillery is an 88 year old WWII Army Nurse veteran suffering from dementia. She is currently residing in The Hamptons in Houston full time assisted living:  in Houston, Texas.

CT Attorney General goes after private insurers.

From Reuters: NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Connecticut attorney general is seeking information about what the state’s five largest health insurers may have sent policyholders over legislation that would reform the Medicare program for the elderly. The information requests announced on Friday follow a U.S. government probe announced last month into a letter sent from […]

 

The Chicago Smackdown

So the Olympics won’t be in Chicago. Excuse me while I recover from my heartbreak. Here’s the thing: our mission is not to bring down Obama. Our mission is to support free markets, personal liberty, and accountability. This movement isn’t about Barack Obama the man. This is about what he stands for, which is big […]

 

Feminists and rape. And Whoopi Goldberg is an idiot.

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com According a recent conversation on The View, there are apparently varying degrees of rape. And Whoopi Goldberg doesn’t think that oral, anal, and vaginal pentration, despite being told no (several times), was actually rape. So here’s the thing, Whoopi. Rape is rape. As AllahPundit pointed out, Samantha Geimer’s testimony claims that it […]

 

Drop the gag order, Sebelius.

Who knew they still had a spine? Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) — Senate Republicans vowed to block President Barack Obama’s nominee for surgeon general and other health officials unless the government drops what they said is a “gag order” barring insurers from lobbying their Medicare policyholders on the health-insurance overhaul. The move by Senate Minority Leader […]

 

GOP: Standing in the way of Utopia.

Because clearly they’re entirely too accomodating to dissenting viewpoints. If anything, the Democrats’ problem is that they permit too much dissent–unlike the Republicans, who demand “lockstep marching.” In fact, if Democrats would learn to be just a little less tolerant of dissent, they might get a lot more done. Yeah, they just get STEAMROLLED. Poor […]

 

Paranoid Racist Whack Jobs.

Remember all the outcry when we raised hell about President Obama’s address to students? Our concerns were “baseless“. We’re clearly nothing but “paranoid right wing nut jobs“. And of course, don’t forget RAAAACIST!! Fine, other Presidents have spoken to students before. THAT is not what we took issue with! How many Presidents issued study guides? […]

 


Killing private insurers… it begins.

From the Wall Street Journal: Earlier this month, Humana sent a one-page letter to its customers enrolled in its Medicare Advantage plans, which offer private options to Medicare beneficiaries. Humana noted that, because of spending cuts proposed by Democrats, “millions of seniors and disabled individuals could lose many of the important benefits and services that […]

 


Just another $292 Million…

It hurts my heart a little to admit that $292 million doesn’t sound like a whole lot right off hand. But it IS a lot of money. And another NYC scumbag has bilked the banks. Meet Hassan Nemazee. A federal grand jury charged Hassan Nemazee, a New York businessman who has ties to prominent politicians, […]

 

You can’t legislate the poor into prosperity

I stumbled across this quote this morning and wanted to share. “You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody […]

 

Smart Girls take on Nashville!

What an incredible weekend! The inaugural Smart Girl Summit took place in Nashville, Tennessee this weekend. Smart Girls came from all over to learn, network, and just have fun. I rode from the DC area with SGP Cofounders Stacy Mott and Teri Christoph. After a LONG ride to Nashville, we got in and had dinner […]

 


Obama’s Revival of the Republican Party

Upside of this administration: We all thought the GOP was dead. And slowly, they’re remembering what it means to be a Republican. Stacy Mott has said, and I’ve often quoted, that Obama is currently the leader of the conservative movement. Let’s face it, he’s done more to mobilize us than anyone else has. The numbers […]

 

Setting The Record Straight: My Diabolical Tea Party Attendance “Misinformation Campaign”

I hadn’t planned on responding to the entire Tea Party attendance controversy, but since Media Matters is using information I was responsible for to smear Michelle Malkin, I figured I’d set the story straight. Estimates for the 9/12 march ranged from the “tens of thousands” all the way up to two million. Yes, two million. […]

 

Teeny Tiny Fringe Minority in Washington, DC: The 9/12 March

If you stayed at home and watched the news this weekend, you may not have heard about the teeny tiny fringe of angry protesters that showed up in Washing, DC this weekend. Because there was very little coverage. Just look at the minuscule crowds these nutjobs are trying to pass off as legit! All snark […]

 



Television: Inefficiency At Its Finest.

I gave away my television in 2006. Yes, I’m one of those people. It was not some snooty faux intellectual “I’m too good for the idiot box” mentality that caused me to get rid of what would now be an antiquated black box… it was convenience. I was in college and living the nomadic, transient […]

Eugenicists Amok!

So yesterday we talked about Justice Ginsburg. And some people told me I was twisting words and making things worse than they were. In fact, I don’t think I went deeply enough into them. I spoke about population control – she was more accurately addressing eugenics. * Main Entry: eu-gen-ics * Pronunciation: yü-ˈje-niks * Function: […]

Abortion = Population Control?

Crossposted at Pink Elephant Pundit Abortion talk with Justice Ginsburg. This proved to be a sufficiently chilling conversation. From the NY Times: Q: The case ties together themes of women’s equality and reproductive freedom. The court split those themes apart in Roe v. Wade. Do you see, as part of a future feminist legal wish […]

Czar Watch

Czars. We joke about them, and President Obama’s obsession with them. By most accounts, there are too many. Let’s have an updated look at them. Twenty One and counting. I think. Nothing seems to be definitive. Glenn Beck puts the count at 18, the most recent addition being the Health Choices Czar. Here’s a list: […]

Friday Roundup!

Crossposted at Pink Elephant Pundit I feel like a lot of this week was spent recovering from the events of last week. However, July kicked off with it’s own share of drama. Monday brought us the new Duke pedophile case. You know, the one you’ve really only heard about on Righty blogs. From WRAL: On […]
