The brilliant Penn Jillette makes a living from being a skeptic. Skepticism, he reports in the LA Times, isn’t good enough for the “reality based community,” however — not on matters central to the canon: [S]omeone asked us about global warming, or climate change, or however they’re branding it now. Teller and I were both […]

And the fact that the ones not done by citizen journalists both come from the British media rather than our own mainstream media right here in the US should surprise no one. —– Headline: Al-Qaeda is driven from Mosul bastion after bloody last stand Subheading: The murder toll is dropping, the insurgents are on the […]

As Barack Obama is finding out, if polls are any indication: One week after Sen. Hillary Clinton made a public show of unity with Sen. Barack Obama, a new survey suggests supporters of the New York senator are increasingly less likely to follow her lead. A growing number of Clinton supporters polled say they may […]

The AP wants to make damned sure you get their point: [T]alk turns to the state of the Union, and the Optimists become decidedly bleak. They use words such as “terrified,” “disgusted” and “scary” to describe what one calls “this mess” we Americans find ourselves in. Then comes the list of problems constituting the mess: […]

Spiritual But perhaps a spiritual response is also needed to global warming — to provide the inner strength necessary to face and combat the worst effects that are to come from the Earth’s erratically changing climate. You don’t have to go to a church, synagogue or temple to be “spiritual” (although it doesn’t often hurt). […]

Without preamble, NY Times – Hippie Arrests Draw A.C.L.U.’s Attention CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union said on Saturday that it would investigate the actions of federal officers who had arrested five members of the Rainbow Family in western Wyoming during the group’s annual gathering. The federal Forest Service said a mob […]

Two schoolboys in Britain were punished for refusing to kneel and pray to Allah. Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson. Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in […]

This is serious: Barack Obama’s campaign has endorsed the accuracy of what is almost cerrtainly a forged birth certificate for Obama. And the Daily Kos website actively deleted other forged documents that betrayed the forged nature of the “Obama” birth certificate: Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in […]

But it was really James Thurber who turned me on to this poem, which has been going through my head all day for obvious reasons: Barbara Frietchie By John Greenleaf Whittier On that pleasant morn of the early fall When Lee marched over the mountain wall; Over the mountains winding down, Horse and foot, into […]

He is not a he, he is a she with boobs lopped off and testosterone that would increase the size of the clitoris and make it look more penis-like. Let’s be real here. A man cannot carry a baby. She was not born with ambiguous genitalia. This “dude” is not a dude. She is a […]

In Baghdad 1,215 Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen re-enlist in the US military on the 4th of July. Kind of says it all, doesn’t it? Fittingly, they took that oath in one of Saddam’s former palaces festooned with a huge American flag.

Although the Fourth of July is a great day to be alive for most Americans, it causes the bile to boil in moonbats’ veins, so that it seeps out through their pores in the most hideous displays. The appalling Chris Satullo is hardly the only example. Below are some lowlights from a seasonal piece at […]

“It has always been my contention that there is no sense in being in office if you don’t have the courage to do what is right, even if it is the most unpopular position in the world.” — Jesse Helms At one point in Helms’ life, he could fairly have been called a racist, but […]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the “lilypad cities”: Photo courtesy: Solent News and Photos What the heck are they? Read on: At first glance, they look like a couple of giant inflatable garden chairs that have washed out to sea. But they are, apparently, the ultimate solution to rapidly rising sea levels. This […]

The deranged lawsuit of the day has been brought by Aaron Ferguson, a former accountant for Rachael Ray’s TV cooking show, who as an anorexic is demanding $1 million because Ms. Ray is allegedly hostile to his kind. According to court papers, Ray committed such unconscionable acts as stating that anorexics, who suffer from a […]

For all its warts and carbuncles, I’d still not want to live anywhere else. That’s because there’s still a will, in this great nation, to do what is right. And while we may disagree on what that is and how to go about it, that freedom to dissent, to argue, to rant and rave is […]

From CNN… Congress in 1974 set a national 55 mph speed limit because of energy shortages caused by the Arab oil embargo. The speed limit was repealed in 1995 when crude oil dipped to $17 a barrel and gasoline cost $1.10 a gallon. As motorists headed on trips for this Fourth of July weekend, gasoline […]

This was originally posted on Dean’s World around the last national election. It’s kind of a blogger’s little Conscience of a Conservative (hence I changed the words “think” to “once thought” in the third-to-last paragraph when posting this today, as my conscience demanded). It seemed as if this piece could perhaps be an appropriate bit […]

O’Connor federal courthouse Earlier this week I was here, in the stupidestly-designed courthouse on God’s brutally-baked brown desert earth — the Sandra Day O’Connor Courthouse in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. It is truly a marvel of arrogance. Imagine being so utterly uninterested in anything besides how you’d like your box of Erector Set pieces to look […]

So today, I had the pleasure of seeing the Astros lose at the gorgeous Minutemaid Park. It was a pleasure, too. The company, two of my sweet cherubs (have I mentioned that I’m a breeder?) and the mad blogging Floridian Cassy Fiano escorted by her conservative, buff, national guardsman and even better, Texan boyfriend, made […]

Last month on my blog, I linked to Jack Shafer’s article in Slate, declaring Advantage: Michael Crichton: In 1993, novelist Michael Crichton riled the news business with a Wired magazine essay titled “Mediasaurus,” in which he prophesied the death of the mass media–specifically the New York Times and the commercial networks. “Vanished, without a trace,” […]

Or, maybe they just thought Faye Dunaway looked smokin’ hot brandishing a .38 snubnose in her cashmere sweater and beret. Making the rounds to promote his new book Nixonland, Rick Perlstein tells Reason: reason: You like to mix cultural history with political history. Bonnie and Clyde is one of the central texts in the book. […]

Via Confederate Yankee, a follow up story from Tuesday (here), which I took the liberty of redoing (yes, I had plenty of lazing around time before tee time of 3pm). WRAL Cool font, eh? Otherwise known as Have a great 4th of July, everyone!

Barack Obama in Fargo, ND today: “I’ve always said that the pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and security of our troops and the need to maintain stability. That assessment has not changed,” he said. “And when I go to Iraq and have a chance to talk to some of the commanders […]

As an apparent prelude to restricting them, the governmedia has decided that even television sets exacerbate the imaginary global warming crisis: A gas used in the making of flat screen televisions, nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), is being blamed for damaging the atmosphere and accelerating global warming. […] The gas, widely used in the manufacture of flat […]

Wesley Clark certainly stepped in it over the weekend, Ed Morrissey writes: After decades in the news business, Bob Schieffer may have thought he’d heard it all — until yesterday on Face the Nation, when he interviewed Wesley Clark. Clark came as a surrogate for the Barack Obama campaign and attacked John McCain’s military service, […]

Bogged down with a failing health care system with huge waiting times, Brits are sure they’ve been saved by a new EU directive: Patients will be able to escape NHS queues by demanding treatment anywhere in the European Union without the prior approval of a doctor, under proposals to guarantee health rights unveiled today in […]
