I’m revising my position. After reading this well-thought-out article linked by our blogger friend in New Mexico, I have experienced a spiritual awakening, the scales have fallen from my eyes, and I can see Sarah Palin is a thoroughly inadequate candidate. We’ve got to do something to make this woman go away before she scuttles […]

I missed this Paul Krugman column earlier this week: Against Learned Helplessness …on both sides of the Atlantic, a consensus has emerged among movers and shakers that nothing can or should be done about jobs. Instead of a determination to do something about the ongoing suffering and economic waste, one sees a proliferation of excuses […]

Good thing I’m not looking for a job at these places. Samples: Citigroup: “What’s your strategy at table tennis?” Towers Watson: “Estimate how many planes there are in the sky.” Jane Street Capital: “What is the smallest number divisible by 225 that consists of all 1s and 0s?”

Video streaming by Ustream Welcome to the very first Down the Rabbit Hole with Duchess Rebecca on Right Wing News. Be careful kiddies, for you people new to the show, there’s a content warning. Don’t complain if it’s a little too wild for you!

I often say I’m shocked by something that crosses my computer screen, but that’s not really true. I mean, I probably sort of shocked insofar as I’m surprised that someone has behaved according to type, but in an extreme way, or that something I’ve long assumed would happen actually did happen (or, in a surprising […]

Do you remember the old Dean Martin comedy roasts? The zingers were mean, sometimes mildly risqué, and usually funny. Don Rickles was the acknowledged master of the genre. The California Assembly has taken the roast to a whole new level. At a benefit to raise money for programs involving young people and politics (“It’s for […]

I apologize for that post title, but I couldn’t resist. The new DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz is a gift from heaven for Republicans. There are many Democrats I disagree with, but I know are smart. Shultz makes Joe Biden look like a brainiac. She is like Howard Dean, but she brings even more crazy. Let’s […]

My original post here. As of today, the Capitol police have not been notified by Rep. Weiner about the “hacker” that Weiner claims to have hacked into his account. Many leftwing bloggers are attacking the twitterer that retweeted the tweet, Dan Wolfe. Wolfe, for his part, has offered cooperation with any investigation, including access to […]

You may or may not be aware of the federal law that requires that food sold to the public must be produced in a certified commercial kitchen. Naturally home bakers and those who run those roadside stands were upset. That is how we got the Texas Cottage Food Bill, “a change in health department regulations […]

The Hill reports on Mac’s remarks, without comment, to get their lefty commenters all riled up and it works beautifully. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has said he thinks Sarah Palin could defeat President Obama in next year’s presidential election, but he’s far from certain that she will actually jump into the race. The GOP’s standard-bearer […]

Sometimes one can find gems in comments. These two were at Gawker.com of all places, on the post with the video of : Bill Clinton and Paul Ryan whispering about Medicare: “JackPaper”: Your premise ignores the fact that getting health care costs under control would a) help Medicare immeasurably, b) help the overall economy more than […]

Who says Comrade Obama is doing nothing to relieve rising unemployment? He’s hiring lots of government workers, isn’t he? Others are getting promoted, like Jesse Lee of the new media department, whose Herculean task as Pushback Czar will be to intimidate and if possible silence the growing online chorus of voices critical of the Moonbat […]

Just thought you’d like to know: Social Security will run a permanent yearly deficit when looking at the program’s tax revenues compared to what it must pay out in benefits, the program’s trustees said Friday… But never fear! The trustees stressed that exhaustion of the trust funds doesn’t mean the programs will stop paying all […]

It’s likely to be an interesting election year. I daresay, we’ve never had anyone in the White House as charismatic as Barack Obama. We’ve never had an incumbent with a base so intensely dedicated. We’ve never had a base display such an intensity of dedication without being able to explain why. On the other hand, […]

It’s always fun to pick on the ACLU. I mean, let’s just look at a few of it’s greatest hits from the past week and half, shall we? In case you were wondering whether you can ask the state to let you change your gender on your birth certificate, just whenever you feel like it, […]

I think readers on both sides of the political divide will find this article fascinating. I know I did. The United States has found itself in a seemingly endless series of wars over the past two decades. Despite frequent opposition by the party not controlling the presidency and often that of the American public, the […]

Richard Trumka, head of the AFL-CIO once said that he talks to the White House “daily.” Although Trumka looks like the sort of who watches reality television and votes numerous times for nameless starlets in dancing competitions, we have to assume that he’s not discussing his preferred winners with the President. Rather, we have to […]

A good line from former Sen. Hollings about the fraud that is Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid: “The public fully supported enactment of hefty new Social Security taxes in 1983 to ensure the retirement program’s long-term solvency and credibility. The promise was that today’s huge surpluses would be set safely aside in a trust fund […]

Immigration reform is about to make headlines again. Will the GOP screw it up as they always do? Utah passed immigration reform already: Passed by the state’s GOP legislature and signed by Republican Governor Gary Herbert in March, Utah’s plan is notable because it’s the first in the country that would allow undocumented immigrants to […]

In about a week and a half, Our First Holy Divine Man-God-Boy-King President has acquired and released a form of identification, and then claimed credit for dispatching the most wanted man in the entire world. His is a unique case in which these achievements are roughly equivalent. I’m ready to take a new approach on […]

…then it didn’t work: President Obama received little boost from the Navy SEALs killing of bin Laden. Some numbers: Gallup: 6 points (46% to 52%); Rasmussen: no bounce (49%); Quinnipiac: 6 points (46% to 52%); CNN: 4 points (48% to 52%). The “bounce” was bigger if the poll asked specifically about terror or Afghanistan, but […]

I know you guys who are left leaning get tired of my criticism of Pres. Obama. Frankly, I get tired of it too. When I wrote the post about Obama giving the order to kill Osama, it was nice to be able to say he did something right. As far as releasing the picture of […]

All of you who know me know how I love dogs. I have three rescue dogs. I think dogs are amazing. They can help rescue, they can lead the blind, they can help with other handicaps, even letting someone know when a seizure is about to happen. They can sniff out drugs, and help find […]

The story that the White House put out yesterday about the firefight that killed Osama has been walked back. It’s very frustrating. Not because I care how Osama was killed, but how it is perceived by the Arab world. I tweet with quite a few Muslims and of course, they saw the White House as […]
