The Tax Left-Wing Professors Act

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

James Lileks of the Minneapolis Star Tribune recently had a brilliant idea. Let’s tax tenured professors at a higher rate than everyone else. And how could they complain? After all, these left-wing, communist sympathizers are always saying everyone should pay more taxes. How could they complain about being called to “pay their fair share”? Lileks […]

BREAKING: SC Democrat Senate Candidate Indicted on Felony Obscenity Charge

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Oh-noes… the Democrats may have thought they had a “quirky” candidate running for Senate in South Carolina in the person of one Alvin Greene.

Obama Has No Policy on ‘Housing’ For Detainees Convicted by Military Tribunals

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After the heming and hawing by the Obama administration over whether we should bring terror suspects to trial before military commissions, Obama’s DOJ and DOD finally decided that they could. But once again we see the half-way actions of the Obama administration shining through by the fact that, even as Obama seems to agree with […]

 

$26.1 Billion Union Bailout Went to States that Didn’t Need it

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As I mentioned in a previous discussion on the Democrats $26.1 billion bailout for unions that Speaker Pelosi pushed through Congress at the last minute this summer, there was no need for the money for the stated purpose of “saving teachers” jobs. After all many states still had $30 billion of the previous stimulus that […]

 

Should Federal Clerks and Archivists Have Guns and Badges?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

To attest to the ever more authoritarian nature of our federal government, I give you the stormtroopers of the National Archives who, for some unfathomable reason, have guns, badges and the power to “raid homes.” The L.A. Times published a story recently detailing the poor state of security of our National Archives holdings. The piece […]

 

Pensions That Exceed Base Pay, Blame Unions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For the New York Daily News Eileen Norcross and Todd Zywicki penned a piece taking public employees pensions to task for being “too rich for America’s blood.” Of course, they rightly blame unions and compliant politicians for the disaster.

Treasury Dept’s New Charge: Muslim Outreach??

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Is the U.S. Department of the Treasury undertaking a new role?

Congress Now Not Even Bothering to Name the Bills They Pass

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Thanks to CATO’s Jim Harper, we discover that the slovenly work of Obama’s Congress is so bad that they are now passing bills that they haven’t even bothered to name. It’s been bad enough that the Democrats have affixed to bills names that are entirely Orwellian in nature, but now they aren’t even bothering to […]

 

It’s Come to This: Democrat Bashes Obama/Pelosi In Campaign Ad

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently the L.A. Times reported that the White House warned Democrat incumbents to avoid talking about the Party’s “accomplishments” as they campaign for office this year.

Win The Lottery, Work for the Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s settled. People that play the lottery should lay down their scratchoff coins and take up an employment application to work for the government.

New GOP Video: Deficit of Hope

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

“The American people have seen who is benefiting from Obama’s economy and it isn’t them. Barack Obama’s looming tax hikes on small businesses, job-killing regulations, and big government takeovers have created an economic climate saturated with uncertainty that is keeping employers from hiring. As a result, unemployment remains near 10 percent, nearly one in five […]

 

New York Times : Afraid of Gun Crazed, ‘Motley Carnivals of the Tea Party Movement’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times sent Mattathias Schwartz to find out what was going on at Jack Dailey’s firearms training camps across the country and what he found apparently made the writer fear that America was going to the lily white, revolutionary, tea party dogs.

Amer. Bar Assoc. Peddling Race Instead of Law With New ‘Hispanic Law’ Study

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There are several precepts that American jurisprudence is supposed to be based upon. “Equal under the law,” “justice is blind,” “no man is either above or below the law,” in the U.S. these basic ideas undergird the premise that we are all the same under our American law. But apparently someone forgot to tell the […]

 

‘Tax Extenders’ Bill: Another Democrat Bailout of Special Interests

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The so-called “tax extenders” bill that was initially part of the unemployment package that Congress passed last month is still on the table. It was separated from the unemployment bill because the GOP opposed its inclusion and for good reason. It is little else but a sop to special interests and big corporations. The Democrats […]

 

About the Left’s New Palin-Confronting ‘Teacher,’ Turns Out She Lied

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Earlier today the left sent up cheers for an Alaska “teacher” that is seen on video attacking Governor Palin as “the worst Governor ever” as the sign she was putting up read. When Gov.

When a Civil Rights Group Hires All Whites… What do You Have?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As we are sonorously and endlessly told, the Southern Poverty Law Center is all about exposing the “hate” and working for “civil rights” in America.

Ohio’s Dem. Gov. Gave Stimulus $$ to Co. That Exported Jobs to El Salvador

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What was it that Democrat President Barack Obama told us about the stimulus? Oh, yeah that it would “save or create” American jobs. Seems like a good idea, right?

Toilet Paper ‘Down Under’ To Cost More Thanks To Green Policies

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

First the greenies came to take away our lightbulbs in the U.S. and force us to buy more expensive ones. Now the greenies are on the march in Australia with the unkindest swipe of all: forcing Australians to pay 42 percent more for toilet paper. In a report recently put out by Tim Wilson of […]

 

As They Live off Us, Some Federal Workers Pocket Fraudulent SS Benefits

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

News has emerged today of an investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that has discovered hundreds of federal workers who are pocketing fraudulent Social Security disability payments.

Rosie O’Donnell Says Her Marriage was a Political Protest, Gays Treated Like Holocaust in America

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In yet one more example among thousands, we see why loud-mouth, extreme left-wing talker Rosie O’Donnell is wholly unworthy of a national forum. In a recent segment of her satellite radio show Rosie Radio, O’Donnell idiotically claimed that gays were being “rounded up” in America so that a “pink triangle” could be slapped on them […]

 

Irregularities in Skilled Healthcare Trial

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last month I wrote about the California healthcare case involving Skilled Healthcare LLC. The Nursing Home company was accused by trial lawyers of violating California’s regulations governing how many staff members per resident that is required to operate a healthcare facility and lost its case.

Democrats: Say, Let’s Exempt Rich People in Blue States From Tax Hike!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If this doesn’t exemplify the left’s propensity to act in the mode of for-thee-but-not-me, nothing does. The Wall Street Journal (by way of the Wash. Examiner’s Mark Hemingway) reports that at least one Democrat has suddenly realized that when the Bush tax cuts fade away his state will be hit by a massive tax hike […]

Mass. School Kids Now ‘Allowed’ To Say the Pledge of Allegiance

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What sort of nation have we become when it takes monumental efforts by a kid to get a school administration to “allow” them all to recite the Pledge of Allegiance?
