If I were cynical, I’d think the New York Times’ Joe Nocera was trying to muddle up the Solyndra scandal. He writes: If Brian Harrison and W. G. Stover, the two Solyndra executives who took the Fifth Amendment at a Congressional hearing on Friday, ever spend a day in jail, I’ll stand on my head […]

The left went crazy nuts over the fact that some audience members booed a gay American soldier after he asked this question at the last GOP debate: “My question is, under one of your presidencies, do you intend to circumvent the progress that’s been made for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military?” It was […]

…this post has it all! Many fun and interesting things happen on eBay. True. But none so fun or interesting — or as satisfying — as this one: This is an auction for the famous “Pink Slip” that was hurled at Representative Robin Vos at the Racine Lincoln Day Dinner by notorious goof ball, Vos-Stalker, […]

Actually, there are many “best parts“.

No one can honestly believe the New York Times is an unbiased and impartial source for your daily dose of news. I mean, sure, the bizarre alternative reality you’d need to subscribe to to fully digest that as truth would be very similar to the kind of alternative reality you’d need to subscribe to to […]

In 2008, Human Events polled their readers to find out what issues were most important to them. I have been waiting and waiting for more polls like this from them, but have been left wanting. So, I decided to conduct the poll myself. I asked around and looked at some various websites and pulled together […]

Hold on to your coffee mugs. I am about to write a post defending Pres. Obama. Adam Serwer at American Prospect writes a piece about Prof. Cornel West and talk show host Tavis Smiley’s “Poverty Tour.” Prof. West and Mr. Smiley are touring poor communities to bring attention to the extreme poverty specifically in the […]

The Obama Administration’s environmental policy is a hot mess. It’s like someone sent a copy of the kids version of 50 Simple Things You Can Do To Save the Earth to a bunch of college professors in an English lit department and let them figure out how to best implement simple policy using all of […]

So, Obama’s new plan is the old plan. He hasn’t changed his tune since he told Joe The Plumber that we need to “spread the wealth around.” From the AP: President Barack Obama called for $1.5 trillion in new taxes Monday, part of a total 10-year deficit reduction package totaling more than $3 trillion. Obama […]

In reverse order: 1976 — The first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, is unveiled by NASA. 1920 — The National Football League is organized in Canton, Ohio, United States. And God bless ’em for it, go Pack. 1862 — American Civil War: the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history. 1814 — Francis Scott Key […]

Hey kids, here’s the latest webisode of Down the Rabbit Hole with Duchess Rebecca. Alex Jones and I discussed Afghanistan living, Bachmann’s problem with Gardasil, Sarah Palin’s juicy (possibly made up) past, why Bud Selig is an unpatriotic turd, Michelle Obama’s latest food casualty plus a phone-a-friend bonus, Adam Dawson, who moonlights as the drummer […]

Gov. Perry has been taking heat for the controversial executive order he issued four years ago that mandated that all 11- and 12-year-old girls be vaccinated for human papillomavirus, or HPV, a sexually transmitted virus that can cause cervical cancer. The legislature made it non mandatory, and Perry has now admitted that he would handle […]

Where to start today? So many things. Well, as a Republican, one can’t help but be giddy over a Republican winning Anthony Weiner’s old seat in NY-9. A staunchly Democrat area, heavily populated by Orthodox Jews, sent a Republican Catholic to represent them in what is considered to be a referendum of Obama’s handling of […]

From NRO: When President Obama outlined his $450 billion jobs plan in a speech before Congress last week, he promised it would all be “paid for,” and assured us he would present another plan outlining how he planned to do so. Well, here you have it: The White House said Monday that President Obama wants […]

Yesterday, while I was out walking the dog, I had a neighbor ask me why the Republicans and Democrats in DC can’t cooperate. I explained it like so…. Getting the GOP and Democrats to work together would be like getting Adam Smith and Vladimir Lenin to put together a joint economic plan. In other words, […]

Click the links under each picture for more. Link: The Other McCain. Link: Grandpa Steve. I don’t actually have anybody to link on this. September 8th was the 45th anniversary of Star Trek’s first episode. I kinda thought Jamie Jeffords would have something on it, but nope. Link: Verum Serum. Click here, I guess. Link: […]

Yet more evidence that there’s often a: thin line between “badass” and “crazy”.

Every year at this time I see the memorials of 9-11 on TV. I see the replaying of that horrible time, and I cry. My youngest son was only 4 years old when the towers fell. I try to make sure he remembers and understands what happened that day. The positive thing that I will […]

Just run the words through your head a few times: The President is going to give a speech to address the jobs crisis. Think about our brief and flirtatious history with President Obama; how many speeches does He give in a year? How many speeches has He already given about the economy? Run the words […]

…why are wealthy Chinese looking to leave? China’s richest are increasingly investing abroad to get a foreign passport, to make international business and travel easier but also to give them a way out of China. Seems like I’ve literally heard a crapload of stories lately about how China’s economy is going to surpass ours…China will […]

“10 Things Social Security Won’t Tell You“. #10 is questionable. But #1, #2, #3, and #9 are absolutely true and important. Q: “Who Lost Work During the Great Recession?” A: Young people. Or as Mrs. Palin asked, “How is that hopey-changy stuff working out for ya?”

Hey kids, here’s the latest webisode of Down the Rabbit Hole with Duchess Rebecca; me and Leah Trost (…or is it Leah Trost and I??? Ugh, grammar is hard) discuss the key to ageing successfully, the blogger who cried “rape”, Celine Dion’s bathtub, bear punching, grandma tattoos, great-grandma boob jobs and more. I probably said […]

The local media was outside of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU Local 21) offices in Longview, Washington gathering interviews and b-roll. Here’s what happened when one of the union members, who said his name was “F*ck You C*cksucker,” came outside to discuss their possible trespassing: Aside from the lack of employment at the […]

Two things. Pres. Obama gave us the same as always last night. This “Jobs Bill” is just another stimulus. It didn’t work last time, and it won’t work this time. It’s crazy to imagine that a half-trillion dollars in more government stimulus (a number he failed to mention in his speech) is a good idea […]

And given that the (Social Security) worker-to-retiree ratio is expected to fall from 3-1 today to 2-1 in 2030 (down from 16-1 in 1950) these taxes will only go up unless the government decides to kick retirees in their dentures and slash benefits. — Shikha Dalmia (Obama) believes people are stupid, or at least not […]

Over at Think Progress, a George Soros outfit, Matthew Yglesias is actually comparing the Social Security System to your 401k, claiming there’s really not that much difference: What happens here is that you work while you’re working age. You earn money. You take some of that money to buy shares in firms. Your expectation is […]

As Michael Kinsley once famously said, “A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth.” Last night at the debate, Rick Perry told the truth about Social Security and although it’s not a gaffe in the conventional sense, you can expect to see both Republicans and Democrats who know he’s 100% right trying to spin […]

Over the last six months, the Obama Administration has been almost obsessively concerned with knocking for-profit colleges and universities down a peg. Apparently, when you teach reliable job skills to students for an affordable price, trade on the stock exchange and operate at the whims of the free market, you are a complete and total […]

We’re still a year out of the election, but don’t think that we’ve fallen behind on what really matters in November of 2012. Apparently, Democratic lawyers are already gearing up their objections to Voter ID and other voter protection laws that have come on the books since the voter fraud disasters of 2008. Now, not […]
