I doubt these views are particularly representative, from the comments at my essay yesterday on Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts: Personally, I don’t give a whit about social conservatism. As far as I’m concerned, there is not much of a difference between progressives and social conservatives in that both want to tell me how to […]

At the Los Angeles Times, “Toyota Temporarily Stops Selling Eight Models Covered by Recall“: Toyota Motor Corp. has taken the unprecedented stop of halting sales and production of eight models, including the top-selling Camry and Corolla, because their accelerator pedals can stick and cause runaway acceleration. Toyota sent an email to its roughly 1,200 U.S. […]

The full story is at the New York Times, “4 Arrested in Phone Tampering at Landrieu Office.” And Michelle Malkin expresses the surprise on the conservative right, “Ugh: ACORN-Buster Busted at Sen. Landrieu’s Office in Alleged Bugging Plot; Affidavit Link Added“: The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that James O’Keefe, half of the ACORN-busting duo that […]

I don’t care much for football unless my son is playing. I usually go to Superbowl parties to eat and chat. But this year I’m looking forward to a certain commercial that will run during the game. No, not the funny ones, although I like them too. Focus on the Family is running a controversial […]

Marion Berry, Democratic Representative from Arkansas, has decided to retire from Congress voluntarily instead of chancing an involuntary retirement via the ballot box. Berry is considered a “blue dog” Democrat and is from a nominally conservative state whose voters have made it clear they don’t support the policies or agenda of this Congress or this […]

No one can put this together in such a concise manner than Victor Davis Hanson. Here he remembers how mesmerized America was with Obama right after the election last year: ” And now? On every issue – more bailouts, more stimuli, more deficits, higher taxes, statist health care, cap and trade, diplomatic apologetics, the shunning […]

For those of you who don’t know who Ellie Light is, let’s get you updated. From HotAir: In recent days, a letter defending Obama has appeared in dozens of newspapers throughout the country — all signed by an “Ellie Light.” In the letters, which all use identical language, Ms. Light explains that Obama never promised […]

That’s the conclusion I drew, after reading this AP lede: PORTLAND, Ore. — If any Americans are willing to fork over more to state governments in 2010, it might just be those of Oregon, where voters are deciding the fate of two proposed tax increases that target the wealthy and corporations. The people of Oregon […]

Reality teevee is starting to look like droopy butt-crack jeans to me: It appeals to morons, it looks (consequently) as stupid as all holy h*ll, but for reasons nobody can explain it’s just hanging around like a bad smell, year after year and decade after decade. Who thinks this looks cool? Who likes it? Someone […]

I gotta tell ya: These Downfall spoofs are still pretty good despite dozens of iterations. I laughed — LAUGHED!! — at “My lips are still sore from kissing his butt,” with the mental visuals of King Charles brown-nosing Markos Moultisas a bit much! Anyway, from Pamela, “Sunday NY Times Magazine Profiles the Notorious ex Biggie […]

ImageShack tells me it was early June when I uploaded this one: Perhaps it was for this item over here. Mark Steyn has been noticing the same subtle central theme that permeates throughout all the Hopenchange policies. He echoes my point, but has some hard data to back it up: He only gave (according to […]

NY Times columnist Paul Krugman wants the House of Representatives to pass the Senate’s health care “reform” bill. They have to pass the Senate’s bill, because Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts has given Republicans a 41-59 majority in the Senate. Feels that way, anyway. Doesn’t it? Back to Krugman, who quite wrongly writes: Tuesday’s Republican […]

He sure seems to be making that point, anyway. Chief Justice John Roberts is worse, Olbermann writes, than the Chief Justice who wrote the rampantly racist Dred Scott decision in 1857. I’m pointing it out, because it seems wrong to ignore it. I’m not going to discuss it further, because…well, I am the father of […]

As far as Governors go, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas understands:  more than most, the importance of an online presence going forward in political campaigns. He is sponsoring this blogger summit. I am sitting in panel session right now with such wonderful bloggers and political activists like Andre Breitbart, Roger Simon, Ben Domenech, Patrick Ruffini, […]

It is so obvious it frustrates me that others are too ideologically or politically blind to admit it. The reason the Democrats are in the shape they’re in today has to do with the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and his obvious lack of leadership. Let me give you the latest example found in […]

I just checked Andrew Sullivan’s Sitemeter. Oh sure, I know he’s still a big name blogger, but I’m curious to see his traffic stats given his latest meltdown over Scott Brown’s election. What kind of demand is there for these really freaked screeds against the voters in MA? (Sully peaked in the early afternoon at […]

And Oh, what a week it has been. John J. Miller at NRO summed it up nicely, but here is my take; : The Democrats lost Ted Kennedy’s: seat to a: rising Republican rock star, Scott Brown. The next day Pelosi says she doesn’t have the votes for Obamacare, which we all thought was about to be shoved […]

With some Democrats increasingly angry over the lack of clear leadership by the White House on health care, finger-pointing and political concerns have Democrats scrambling for answers that don’t seem to be coming. Various sides have their plans, but that’s part of the problem. Also, Olympia Snowe is signaling she’s not interested in rejoining any […]

Folks might want to go back and take a look at the very first piece I published at Pajamas Media, “Obama’s Fundraising Fraud.” At the time of writing, in late October 2008, the Barack Obama presidential campaign had raised more the $200 million in small contribution of $200 or less. Such small individual donations are […]

Ben Ehrenreich has a piece at Slate.com where he tries to make the case that by the U.S. sending troops first and aid secondto Haiti, the United Statesproves itself racist. But before I get into that, I find it interesting that he begins with this about Pres. Obama: Port-au-Prince is not much farther from Washington, […]

Nancy Pelosi says there aren’t the votes to pass the Health Care Bill. Finally they heard the voice of the people. Thank you TEA PARTIERS!!!! The media tried to dismiss you, the Democrats tried to smear you, but you would not: stay quiet. How about that? Liberty won. WE won. It’s about damn time.

Michael Zak once again reminds us of the proud heritage of the GOP: :  : As the new senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown, said: “It’s not the Ted Kennedy seat. It’s not the Democrat seat. It’s the people’s seat.”Instead of Ted, let’s remember an honorable and courageous Republican senator who once filled the seat to which […]

I think last night really demonstrated the immediacy and power of Twitter. When Scott Brown announced that his daughters were “available,” Kathleen McKinley sent this tweet in real time: I saw a few more tweets from women bloggers who were similarly shocked. It wasn’t the high point of Brown’s speech, but he’s easily forgiven considering […]

That didn’t take long. After essentially ignoring Senate Republicans for a year (well except when they thought they could pick one or two off to help them make something appear “bi-partisan”), Democrats are now ready to lecture Republicans about their new “responsibility”. In a talking points memo issued to Democratic Senators today, they lay out […]

On Dec. 19th I received a facebook message from some guy I had never heard of. His name was Scott Brown. I thought I might share those messages with you. Little did I know…… Between You and Scott Brown Scott Brown December 19, 2009 at 8:16am Hello Kathleen. I would really appreciate it if you […]

No matter what your political affiliation, you have to admire George W. Bush for his grace and dignity in the face of still constant blame and insults. Hardly a day goes by without Pres. Obama blaming Pres. Bush for something, and it’s been going on for a year. And that isn’t counting the year Obama […]

AP has just called the Massachusetts Senate race for Republican Scott Brown (9:25 pm) who looks like he’ll end up with anywhere from a 5 to 7 point win. Probably the most interesting thing I saw during the coverage was feedback during a Frank Lunz group on Fox (I watched MSNBC most of the night […]

They don’t get a lot of things, but specifically they don’t get the anger of the American people and the Tea Parties. This was made quite evident in some of their recent comments regarding Scott Brown and his Senate race. This is Pres. Obama campaigning for Martha Coakley: “We have had one year to make […]

We’re live from Blogger’s Row here at Scott Brown campaign HQ tonight and — hey — who’s got the eye for talent?

Every once in a while the mask is lifted, and the Democrats reveal their disdain for the American people. That happened today in the: Washington Post.: : : The article makes: clear that more people strongly oppose this health care bill than support it. Democrats say not to worry, they can turn: that opinion: around: Despite the general opposition to the legislation […]
