Cross-posted from NewsReal Blog Ron Radosh is on a roll over at his blog at Pajamas Media. He’s nailed it with his last three posts. Let’s start with the most recent and work our way back. First, yesterday Ron published, “TNR and the Crisis of The American Intellectual: Can the Old Liberal Stalwart Play a […]

And just minutes before, while in route to the Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium, Prince Charles joked, “Hopefully we’ll be able to brave our way through, get there and be all right.” Added: From Glenn Reynolds, “ANARCHY IN THE U.K.” And at WSJ, “Violent Protests Follow U.K. Fee Vote.” Cross-posted from American Power. […]

From another member of the enlightened, tolerant left: From: Kyle Lindskog [klindsko@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2010 6:51 PM To: Donald Douglas Subject: Elizabeth Edwards Mr. Douglas, People like you make me sick. You consider it a flaw that Ms. Edwards omitted “God” from her final correspondence? No. She is to be praised for this. […]

The Dream Act passed the House last night. You didn’t even know it was being voted on? That seems to be the way of this congress. Obviously Reid was rushing this through before the new saner congress comes in in January. He didn’t even allow hearings on it. As I posted before, The Dream Act […]

From the comments at Wonkette: “Would it be too much to wish this guy a painful cancer of the asshole?” But hey, these folks are from the enlightened left. No doubt John Lennon would be proud. See “‘Imagine’ – A Lasting Hymn to Controversy.” And FWIW, at Rolling Stone, “John Lennon’s Last Days.” Added: “Dancing […]

My favorite news shows to watch on Sunday are CNN’s Candy Crowley’s State of The Union, and Fareed Zakaria’s GPS. I watch Candy because she really is a fair, intelligent, and balanced journalist. She is one of the best out there along with Jake Tapper of ABC News, and Chris Wallace and Bret Baier of […]

Well here’s an appropriate follow-up to my previous post, “WikiLeaks Reveals Millions of Dollars Flowing to Extremists Worldwide: President Obama ‘Less Critical’ of Terror Financing Than Predecessor.” At The Guardian, Ambassador John Bolton takes issue with the Obama administration, “WikiLeaks cables: Barack Obama is a bigger danger – WikiLeaks harms the US. But the president’s […]

In case you missed it, there’s the global environmental summit this week in Mexico, “UN Climate Change Conference in Cancun.” Al Jazeera has your requisite climate change alarmism update: Over 15,000 participants traveled by fossil fuel-burning jets to a conference where no real progress is expected. The Mexican government refused to provide an estimated “carbon […]

Just a few stories that caught my eye this week, whether I blogged them or not. Click the link under each picture if you need a little explanation. Link: The Right Scoop. And while we’re on this, has the young man in that picture ever been identified? Does anybody know? Link: Gateway Pundit. Link: And […]

At LAT: In contrast to their upbeat public assessments, U.S. officials expressed frustration with a “risk averse” Mexican army and rivalries among security agencies that have hampered the Mexican government’s war against drug cartels, according to secret U.S. diplomatic cables disclosed Thursday. The cables quoted Mexican officials expressing fear that the government was losing control […]

College-itis: (n.) A mental illness in which a patient is simply unable to accept a situation in which another thinking person possesses a commensurately durable command of the relevant facts, and has pursued some valid and competent thinking process to arrive at different ideas regarding what it all means or what should be done. Persons […]

My ALL NEW Talk Radio Watch column is now up! Enjoy FREE audio and webcam highlights from the week in conservative talk radio: Dr. Laura switching to satellite radio Laura Ingraham and Mike Huckabee talk about GOP elites Glenn Beck’s new stage props: 400 sandwiches and a Ford Mustang convertible and more… Keep reading (and […]

First, there were the Sarahmotivators. Then, the Obamotivators. The Krugmotivator, and, just a trifle less disturbingly, the Smittymotivator. And, now: the Goremotivator. Via Grandpa Steve (who also neglected to inform me of this important development), Mind Numbed Robot broke this new ground in Automotivator technology. As a well-known connoisseur of all things Automotivator…well, you know. […]

The latest WikiLeaks dump could be breaking a record for provoking debate. I’ve said a lot already. But I’m thinking back to how badly the MFM and progressive manchild bloggers got beat on the Apache video last April. Jawa Report was doing yeoman’s work, for example, “For The Idiots Who Still Say There Was no […]

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today that the jobless rate rose to 9.8 percent in November. The economy only added a measly 39,000 jobs. Forecasters had expected more than three times that. Not good, my friends. It’s beyond frustrating that this Congress and administration spent so much time on a massive healthcare bill that […]

This post might be the most rebellious of all the posts I’ve written. Maybe because it came about from a discussion with my oldest son, who in his younger years was known to rebel. My son’s take on Julian Assange is that it doesn’t matter who he is, why he is doing this, or his […]

From the Center for Security Policy: PREVIOUSLY: “Obama Evokes Reagan in Push for New Start Treaty,” and “Trust Russia on START?“ Cross-posted from American Power.

William Kristol seconds that emotion. At the video, Julian Assange’s communist enablers at Democracy Now! And see John Hawkins, “5 Reasons The CIA Should Have Already Killed Julian Assange.” RELATED: “The Classical Liberal: Israel Bashing Paleocon?“

After reading through the Wikileaks stories and seeing this story, I think the spy novels we read, and the spy movies we see aren’t really that fictional. The U.S. believes that Iran is developing a nuclear warhead. Iran insists it’s all for peaceful purposes. We all know that is a lie though. This is so […]

At the clip below, with Donald Kirk of the Christian Science Monitor. He speaks toward the end on the extreme dangers of a military overthrow in North Korea, especially a refugee crisis. Interesting how these dangers are raised primarily in the context of outside intervention, and not in the case of an implosion of the […]

The guy who runs new media for the TLC show, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” asked me and Bobby over at the Tubular blog to do a podcast with them for the website. They liked the whole “red team vs. blue team” thing. It should be up tonight. I’ll link it then. He asked some really good […]

Blazing Catfur has the key headline: “Wikileaks Diplomatic Cables Released by Times, Der Spiegel.” Here’s this at NYT, “Cables Obtained by WikiLeaks Shine Light Into Secret Diplomatic Channels.” And I love this at Spiegel: “A Superpower’s View of the World.” And Doug Mataconis has a report: “Wikileaks Releases Diplomatic Cables, Revealing International Secrets.” (Via Memeorandum.) […]

Well it’s about time: “John McCain Calls for Regime Change in North Korea.” I suggested we topple Pyongyang last week. Does anyone have any backbone these days? I’m not holding my breath, especially with these pantywaists: “Foreign Policy‘s Top 100 Global Thinkers.” More throughout the day at American Power.

The background: a woman named Corinne Theile had a unique and…let’s just call it interesting…idea for getting through airport security: “Every time I go through security I always say, ‘I don’t even know why I got dressed this morning.’ I end up taking off belts, jewelry and everything else off anyway,” Theile said. “I don’t […]

I couldn’t find a YouTube, so check the link: “Black Friday Mob Tramples Shopper at North Buffalo Target Store.” My wife loves these sales. She’ll go out at the most godless early morning hours, and last night, amazingly, Toys “R” Us opened at 10:00pm for the early bird (or late bird) shoppers. The line was […]

I’ve been a supporter of Michele Bachmann since she first gained national notoriety (following an appearance on MSNBC’s Hardball). And I received this greeting from her today: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! As Marcus and I sit around the Thanksgiving dinner table with our five children we have a lot to be thankful […]

It’s been almost two years, but I wrote on this previously: “J. David Jentsch Stands Up to Animal Rights Extremists.” I’m not surprised, but things have gotten worse. At LAT, “Attacks Won’t Deter Researcher“: When UCLA neuroscientist J. David Jentsch was a grad student, he never expected his life as an academic would require around-the-clock […]
