The $12,000 Can of 7UP

Posted on by Dave Blount

Canada offers a preview of the linguistic lunacy we will soon be in for in the USA. Luckily for us, it’s easier to find people who speak Spanish than French. The Federal Court of Canada on Wednesday ordered Air Canada to pay $12,000 to Ottawa French-language rights crusader Michel Thibodeau in part because when he […]

 

Obama’s Labor Board Now Threatening the Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Imagine the gall of Gordon L. Wray Jr. to die without first getting Obama’s permission! I mean, it takes a real yutz to die before The One waves his royal hand in forbearance, ya know? So, to punish the dead, Obama sent his National Labor Relations Board goosetepping to threaten the man… the, the dead […]

Allegations of assault in the Wisconsin Supreme Court, or: another story out of Wisconsin that could suck up my entire weekend if I (or my wife) would let it:

Posted on by TrogloPundit

Holy crap. Here I am, trying to enjoy a nice weekend when the sun is shining and my kids are home and there’s very little on our family calendar, when I suddenly notice this: Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser allegedly grabbed fellow Justice Ann Walsh Bradley around the neck in an argument in her […]

 

Homeowners’ Associations Becoming Unavoidable and Quasi-Governmental

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Homeowners’ Associations (“HOAs”) are losing money due to the high numbers of foreclosures and are scrambling to make up for it by assessing additional fees on the remaining homeowners. Banks are taking: longer to foreclose on homes, leaving homes in limbo for months on end with no monthly fees coming in to the HOAs.: 13 percent of […]

 

Judge Jose Longoria Needs A Spanking

Posted on by John Hawkins

Liberalism is a virus that sickens and perverts everything it touches, including our legal system. Liberals have corrupted the justice system in America by filling it with tin gods in black robes who’ve replaced the law with their own personal beliefs. They’re arrogant, they care nothing about the law or the Constitution, and they produce […]

 

The blogger “transparency” crackup

Posted on by Ron Coleman

It’s another big moment in blogger “transparency” upon us now. :  The general rule is that the person who hasn’t “disclosed” enough to meet some preposterous concept of transparency is the person who the writer is jealous of, or worse. : The current dart board is Tech Crunch. I saw this coming, now didn’t I? : I […]

 

Arrogance: Obama Decides HE Can Tell A Company Where They’re Allowed to Build

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama thinks he has the power to tell companies where they are “allowed” to build new facilities and, shock of shocks, Obama wants all those facilities to be in union controlled states. Last week Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced its plans to force Boeing to keep building its aircraft in union plagued […]

Posted on by Ron Coleman

  This story in the Northwest Asian Weekly about the trademark registration woes of a rock band called The Slants may sound familiar to people who follow such things: The Slants, whose members are of Asian descent, have amassed fans nationwide, taking the stage at dive bars, Asian festivals, anime conventions, and even serving on panels […]

 

John Edwards Pules About Suicide

Posted on by Dave Blount

If it were up to Democrats, ambulance-chasing con artist John Edwards (a.k.a. Silky Pony, a.k.a. the Breck Girl) would have been Vice President of the United States. Instead, he may soon find his way to where he belongs: prison. After living the high life on $zillions stolen from doctors through the bogus malpractice lawsuits his […]

 

Does Government Own Your Remotely Backed Up Computer Files, Your Emails, or Your Cell Phone GPS Info?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Did you know that there are no laws to prevent government agencies from raiding your computer’s remotely hosted back up files, your third party emails, your cloud computing files, or your cell phone GPS location records? Well, there aren’t. As the law stands today government can go into your private computer files or trace your […]

 

From Nat’l Journal, One of the Most Biased Reports Seen in Some Time

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once in a while a purported news report is so biased that it simply must be highlighted. Today’s award for the most biased report goes to National Journal for its left-slanted piece on Obama’s warning to the House GOP that he will veto any budget that cancels his FCC attempt to take control of the […]

The God Hates F*gs Gang Wins In The Supreme Court

Posted on by John Hawkins

Although I’m disappointed that the Supreme Court didn’t choose to allow the $11 million verdict against Democrat Fred Phelps and his Westboro church to stand, it is at least, understandable. After all, they were at least staying within the confines of the law. They were protesting where they were supposed to protest and doing what […]

 

The book Americans aren’t allowed to buy

Posted on by Ron Coleman

Two years ago I expressed my own criticism, and later: rounded up a number of other views, of the case brought by J.D. Salinger against a “sequel” to The Catcher in the Rye written by Fredrik Colting. : Last year, in a guest post, Matthew David Brozik added his own thoughts on the topic — right on […]

 

Like Crime, Humiliation Pays in Britain

Posted on by Dave Blount

Whoever said that crime doesn’t pay hasn’t been to Britain since liberalism run rampant reduced it to a bizarre bleeding heart hybrid of A Clockwork Orange and a Monty Python skit. Here‘s how it pays to sell heroin: A convicted drug dealer who claims he was left “humiliated” after he was named and shamed on […]

 

Pigford Pigout Is Illegal

Posted on by Dave Blount

When Comrade Obama promised to “spread the wealth around,” he didn’t mean indiscriminately. The idea is to take it from those who create it, and spread it among the groups that support him most loyally, namely unions and blacks. He has to spread fast, before the country goes bankrupt. An example of how he does […]

 

Judge Overturns ObamaCare “Reluctantly” with Obama’s Own Campaign Promise

Posted on by Jane Jamison

The federal judge who has “thrown out” the national health care law as unconstitutional YES, is a Republican Ronald Reagan appointee, but he made his decision to negate the entire ObamaCare law partially on the basis of President Obama’s OWN WORDS. More than that, the judge expressed his REGRET that he had to rule so […]

 

Dennis Kucinich Bites Into the Jackpot

Posted on by Dave Blount

We haven’t heard from the former Boy Mayor of the Mistake by the Lake for awhile. Did his alien friends fly him away to a more progressive world? No such luck. He’s in the District of Criminals, doing what Democrats do best: sanctimoniously looting. The vegan elf found an unpitted olive in his sandwich at […]

 

Obama Now a Regulation Slayer? Hardly!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Tuesday, President Obama had an op ed published in the Wall Street Journal. In it Obama insisted that our economy has been hurt by “unreasonable burdens on business” and that the regulatory sector had “gotten out of balance.” He promised that he’d make efforts to trim away regulations costly to business. While the sentiment […]

 

Newspaper Ignores Facts in Teacher’s ‘Vagina Dance’ Song Controversy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It isn’t just national issues that the Old Media misreports. As we focus on the “big” stories of the day, we often overlook the local scene and the left-wing excuse for “reporting,” therefrom. This is a perfect example of that. Imagine you are a sophomore in high school and your sex ed teacher forces you […]

 

Our Out Of Control Courts: Bankruptcy Courts Now Deciding Cases on Feelings?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the issues that many conservatives have focused on is our out of control court system and the constant judicial overreach that occurs therein. Here we have yet another case of a court insinuating itself into an area in which it previously never had purview and if this decision stands it will open our […]
