Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

About $135 million of our tax dollars in federal stimulus is being wasted on an upgrade for the Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building in Portland, Oregon, one aspect of which is the so-called “green wall.” Why wasted?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I don’t expect this to stick. I fully expect some left-wing, paid off judge to come to the aid of these union thugs. But… in Central Falls, Rhode Island School Superintendent Frances Gallo has fired an entire high school’s worth of teachers and administrators over a labor dispute. Central Falls High School is situated in […]

I am a bit late for a Lincoln’s birthday post, but here it is… These last 20 or so years has seen a bifurcated treatment of Abraham Lincoln.

PuffyPost Shows Political Ignorance Once Again: Joe Walsh ‘The Party Candidate’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, the Puffington Post has once again shown that it is wholly un-credible as a source for serious political analysis. This time it’s the “work” of HuffPuffer Will Guzzardi who doesn’t seem to know what a primary is or what it does, at least if his headline can be used as an example. In his […]

 

Amnesty Inat’l Am Nasty for Supporting Taleban

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If it’s anti-west, anti-British, Anti-American, Anti-Israeli… well, be sure that Amnesty International supports it. Here’s another bit of proof for that bromide with AmNasty International’s suspension of human rights specialist Gita Sahgal. Why was Sahgal removed from her AI position?

Time Magazine: Hummer, Model T Some of ‘Worst Cars of All Time’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When you are asked what is the “worst car of all time,” what first runs through your head? The Le Car, the Corvair, maybe the Edsel?

How Media Chooses Words Adds to Bias

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Politico had a story about Big Labor penned by Jeanne Cummings, the reporter famed for going after Sarah Palin’s Party purchased wardrobe during the 2008 presidential campaign, that was an object lesson in Old Media bias.

Why Unions Are Dangerous in Education

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One would think that a teacher that had 30 some years ago allegedly impregnated a 16-year-old student, a few years later sexually accosted two 12-year-old students, and was accused of molesting yet another student four years after that, would be out on his ear never to teach or be allowed around children again. But the […]

 

Another Chicago Alderman Goes to Jail — THIS is Heartening Progress

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Alderman Ike Carothers is going to jail over his corruption.

Ike joins a dozen other Chicago politicians in the Big House. But I am here to say that I […]

GlacierGate Take Was Massive

Posted on by Dave Blount

Now why would the UN’s wannabe global rulers lie to us about glaciers melting? One possible answer: to wrap their arms around massive piles of grant money.

According to The Hill, “several union officials” plan to make Obama’s newest attack on America’s banking industry part of their criteria for determining which candidates to support for 2010.

Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” — the self-avowed communist and “rowdy black nationalist” Van Jones — was driven out of office by Glenn Beck’s exposés having spend $60 billion to create exactly 0 green jobs.

A new book about the 2008 presidential election has made quite a stir with its revelation that Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) chose some, shall we say, unfortunate wording when referring to then candidate Barack Obama in some “private” discussions with reporters during the late presidential campaign.
