Republicans Prefer Tax Cuts Over A Balanced Budget?

That’s the buzz going around some liberal blogs about a Rasmussen poll which claims that a plurality of Republicans polled would rather see tax cuts and a deficit than a balanced budget and tax increases (one supposes the increases would be used to balance it. The history of our government says otherwise). Of course I’m […]

 


Liberal Commentary, Obtuseness, and Rush Limbaugh

Whenever you read commentary by a liberal about Rush Limbaugh you can be sure of two things. One, they never listen to him, and two, they don’t seem to get the whole sarcasm thing. Case in point. Robert Schlesinger at USNews.com wonders why Sarah Palin wouldn’t jump on Rush Limbaugh for using the word “retarded” […]

 

The Scam of Man Made Global Warming Politics Exposed…Finally (Updates!)

This seems to be the year that the man made global warming scam is finally being exposed. Study after study is being shown to be a farce. I find this especially pleasing given that the narrative of the left and the media, that one was completely ignorant and a “flat earther” for not believing in […]

 


12 Year Old in “Vegetative State” After Tonsil Surgery in Canadian Hospital While Canadian Premier Comes to U.S. for Treatment

When I first read the story of 12 year old Dylan Campbell, I was saddened for the family, and for Dylan. But I didn’t see how responsible the hospital was for his condition. See, this is the first explanation, as written at CBC.ca: Dylan Campbell had the routine tonsillectomy in November and was released. However, […]

 


U.S. Prosecutor Recuses Himself in James O’Keefe Case

At Fox News, “U.S. Attorney Steps Down From O’Keefe Case.” (Via Memeorandum.) Also, from the Times-Picayune, “U.S. Attorney Jim Letten Recuses Himself From Landrieu Phone Tampering Case.” (Via Patterico.) Also, James O’Keefe’s interview on Hannity, “The People’s Office.” Meanwhile, Marcy Wheeler keeps it up with the sexualized slanders, “TeaBugger Victimology.” And you gotta notice the […]

 

GOP Should Embrace “Party Of ‘No’”

In the ’60s and ’70s when leftist anti-war protesters began calling the police “pigs”, police forces turned the tables and defined the epithet as “Pride, Integrity, Guts” thereby taking ownership of it. The GOP should take ownership of the “Party of ‘No’”. Why? Because sometimes – in fact, many times – saying “no” to the […]

 


Guess we can kiss a college football playoff goodbye now, too.

Desperately seeking something they can: do right? Finish? Get some positive press for? Whichever. All of them. None of the above. Dunno. The story: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is considering several steps that would review the legality of the controversial Bowl Championship Series, the Justice Department said in a letter Friday to a […]

 

A Serious Global Warming Report Based on……A Student’s Essay??

2009/10 may be the banner years for liberal propaganda and bad policy exposed. From Van Jones, to ACORN, to backroom deals, to the stimulus bill. But nothing has been more exposed than the politics surrounding global warming. First, just before the summit on climate change in Copenhagen (which enjoyed a record blizzard during the summit), […]

 

From the Even A Stopped Clock Is Right Twice A Day files:

Blind squirrel, nut: For weeks, the right has heckled Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. for his plans to try the alleged 9/11 conspirators in New York City… Bring them to Wisconsin! …and his handling of the Christmas bombing plot suspect. And their non-handling of those Black Panthers who stood outside the polling places. Now the […]

 

My 42 Definitions of a Strong Society

Yes, once again it is time to dig into the obsessive-compulsive-list-making “what’s been ripening in the innards of the smartphone” file. And nobody disagrees with me about any of it. At least, when talking-out-loud most people don’t disagree with much of it. Being a liberal, lately, seems to involve saying something to the effect of […]

 

We’d feel pretty foolish if we’d spent billions trying to avert global cooling 30 years ago, wouldn’t we?

From the MacIver Institute, a head-in-the-sand “denier” with a PhD: A University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor is making headlines for his work suggesting the world is entering a period of global cooling. “Now we’re getting a break,” Anastasios Tsonis, Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at UWM, said in an interview with the MacIver Institute. Tsonis published a […]

Watering Down the Purity Test

…because a fine delicacy of a dessert, mixed with sewage, is sewage. Therefore a “diluted” purity test is…? From two months ago: Republican leaders are circulating a resolution listing 10 positions Republican candidates should support to demonstrate that they “espouse conservative principles and public policies” that are in opposition to “Obama’s socialist agenda.” According to […]

 

We Need To Support Andy McKenna In Ill Gov Race

Jim Ryan, whose finance director was convicted as part of the Tony Rezko kerfuffle, is targeting Andy McKenna with bogus attacks: because he knows: McKenna’s the guy to beat for a run-off. Redstate seems to appreciate the wisdom in supporting McKenna. I know folks in the McKenna camp. He’s a rather establishment fella, but not bad and […]

 

Can’t Kill the Buzz of Liberty: Thoughts on Independence Hall

Actually, this seems like a comment from folks like snark-ass JBW: Dear Dr Douglas: If you want to see the Liberty Bell, or the place where the Declaration of Independence was debated and signed, we have the originals here in Pennsylvania; you don’t have to see faux copies. But actually, that’s from Dana at Common […]

 

Obama Is Katy Perry

After reading several different takes on Obama’s SOTU speech from both liberal and conservative pundits, something interesting occurred to me. Pres. Obama is the Katy Perry of politics. Let’s face it. Katy Perry cannot sing. Just as Pres. Obama cannot govern. But both are stars anyway. We just like them. Katy is fun, bubbly, and pretty, But even auto […]

 


Update on James O’Keefe

Here’s the latest from the Washington Post, “ACORN Foe Tweeted About Planned Sting of Sen. Landrieu’s Office” (via Memeorandum). However, no tweet cited there says any such thing: On New Year’s Eve, conservative activist James O’Keefe telegraphed across the Internet that he was up to something big. On the social networking site Twitter, he said […]

 





Live Video Blogging the SOTU!

Melissa Clouthier and I are rocking the video blogging – sorry about my delay. It’s ustream’s fault. Live TV : Ustream 9:54 – I had some seriously unbelievable technical issues. Like, my whole neighborhood was powerless so I apologize. 9:58 – Wow. Did he really just attack the Supreme Court? Had anyone ever gone after […]

 

DCCC Director Asks Citizens To “Fact Check” Fox News After the SOTU Address

I do believe they have lost their minds. Has the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee just become another Media Matters? Good grief. E-mail in full below: From: “Jon Vogel, DCCC Executive Director” Date: January 27, 2010 2:08:11 PM CST To: Subject: Fact Check FOX Reply-To: dccc@dccc.org Friend — Your commitment to fighting for the President’s vision […]
