This story also highlights what miserable, negative people Democrats are (USA Today) The first thing South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley wants people to hear when they call a state agency is a cheery “It’s a great day in South Carolina! How may I help you?” That mandated greeting is rubbing a pair of Democratic […]

From Chinese restauranteurs to the Jews.

Alternate title: liberal heads are making like watermelon at a Gallagher show all over Wisconsin! Why? In 2011, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker(R) served as the embodiment of the state by state battle to balance budgets and the best symbol of the struggle between the two political parties about how best to meet those fiscal challenges.

Have at it! I don’t care what you write

Yup, he longer is going to be able to stare at things for our amusement. Apparently, he died “suddenly“. Perhaps a coup? Or maybe a heart attack from watching too much p0rn? Open thread.

Story #1: ‘Dismal’ prospects: 1 in 2 Americans are now poor or low income Squeezed by rising living costs, a record number of Americans – nearly 1 in 2 – have fallen into poverty or are scraping by on earnings that classify them as low income. One does wonder what the definition of “poverty” and […]

Just a few stories that caught my eye this week (or, more likely, while I was frantically looking for something I could make an automotivator for), whether or not I blogged about them at the time. Click the link for a little more info about each one. Bonus vague movie quote included. See if you […]

An truly excellent advertising campaign: “The Fabled Tales Of The Most Interesting Man In The World“.

Once again we’re split squarely down the middle: People who believe what they’re told to believe, think the “War on Christmas” is an artificial concoction of fiction being played up by Fox News, and people who pay attention to what’s going on understand there really is one. Examples abound, and have for years, but for […]

All true, especially #3. But while you expect to encounter a celebrity or two with 10,000 dollar teeth out here, you forget that: every: aspiring actor has to share that same priority if they ever expect to make it. Perfect teeth are cosmetically attractive and physically healthy, sure, but that takes absolutely none of the terror out […]

The rules of open thread are that there are no rules. Have at it

Supposedly, Americans average 23 pounds of pizza per year.: 93% of Americans eat pizza at least once a month. There sure are a lot of pizza places opening up near where I live.

Back in the early part of this year, Barack Obama called all his friends to the White House in a desperate bid to pick their brains. You see, America doesn’t happen to be gaining jobs. Sure, there was the one jobs report that was kind of awesome because half the country felt so awful about […]

Have at it. Talk about what you want. Watch out for evil, though

People who say they’re perfectly willing to secure the border, but only if we also agree to amnesty for the illegals who are here at the same time or people who say they’re perfectly willing to sign onto future spending cuts, but only if we agree to raise taxes at the same time?

I’m famously not a fan of Mitt Romney and I’ve endorsed Newt Gingrich; so it’s fair to take what I have to say about Ron Paul with a grain of salt. But, let’s set aside whether I’m a fan of Ron Paul or not (I’m not) and discuss how electable he may be. Over at […]

We make a point of subscribing to liberal blogs, because our curiosity and befuddlement about their ideas is genuine. We really do seek to understand, here. We occasionally will let one of these go when the feed seeks only to aggravate and does nothing to educate; we just dropped The Young Turks off our YouTube […]
