You Have the Right to Choose Who You Live With in a Free Society

We’re not allowed to discuss it in polite company, but the dirty secret of anti-discrimination law is that it violates free choice, as well as the very civil rights it is ostensibly designed to protect. Take the case of a Michigan woman who advertised for a roommate with whom she would be compatible.:  Specifically, she […]

 

“Where Did Shakespeare Take His Courses in Creative Writing?”

Jacob Weisberg, Slate columnist and compiler of the Bushisms, is having what they commonly refer to as a royal conniption fit. If you’ve seen The Social Network, you may have caught a passing glimpse of Peter Thiel. Thiel was the first outside investor in Facebook, putting up $500,000 to finance the site’s original expansion in […]

 

Not One Word, And I Hope a Polar Bear Eats You

Had an awesome idea. This really old ugly guy was staring back at me from my bathroom mirror. He had Beethoven’s hair…at least, in volume. Lots of split ends, and I don’t wanna know what kind of thin spot he had up top. Nick Nolte’s face, and the Ayatollah Khomenei’s eyebrows. You could hide ball-point […]

That’s “Wisconsin native” David Zucker. Sheesh, you work so hard to earn that distinction…

Wisconsin native David Zucker cracks me up. ‘Airplane!’ director cuts ad poking fun at Boxer for ‘ma’am’ exchange with general A well-known Hollywood producer and director has cut an ad against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) riffing on when the senator chided an Army brigadier general last year for calling her “ma’am.” David Zucker (Wisconsin native […]

 

Anybody looking for an apartment?

There’s a half-off sale in the world’s tallest building: Even with an address at the iconic Burj Khalifa, rents for residences in the tower are not immune from Dubai’s real estate crash. Indeed, nearly a year after it was inaugurated with a massive water-and-fireworks display, about 825 of the tower’s 900 ultra-luxury apartments remain unoccupied […]

 


Brutal Fisking: NC NAACP Chapter Pres. Alleges Tea Party is as Racist as Democrats

The NAACP has released its unbiased report on racism in the Tea Party and has unexpectedly found it is racist. Hardly surprising. The president of the North Carolina NAACP chapter, Rev. William Barber, went far enough in his condemnation of the group to be noticed by the Washington Post: “We have to have particular concern […]

 


Christine O’Donnell Is (Shockingly) Kind of Correct

This morning, it came to light that Christine O’Donnell may have said something truly outragingly outrageously outrageous at a debate in front of law students in Delware. Naturally, because the media recognizes that she lacks the mental capacity necessary to adopt a liberal outlook or send donation checks to NPR, her observations on the contents […]

 

What The Liberal Culture Has Brought Us

I had an intense twitter debate yesterday with Tommy Christopher who writes for Mediaite. He had written about the story that was all the rage yesterday, which was that pop star, Justin Bieber, had been called a “faggot” by another teenager during a game of lazer tag. The spate of suicides of gay teens (or […]

 

Barney Frank’s Decades Long Lie

I’ve have had many discussions about the financial meltdown. I have tried to encourage my left leaning friends to see Congressman Barney Frank’s crucial role in the meltdown. Investors Business Daily has an excellent piece that breaks it down in simple form: Boston entrepreneur and Marine Sean Bielat came out swinging in a pair of […]

Tolerance and Diversity: Teaching Girls That Misogyny And Beatings Are An Honor

Originally published at NewsReal: “Allah honored wives by instating the punishment of beatings.” So said Cleric Sa’d Arafat earlier this year. Last month, a Wellesley, Massachusetts public school took a trip to a mosque, where the school children were taught to pray to that same Allah. The result is stunning: an unabashed exercise in Islamic […]

 

POLL: Voters more likely to see Dems as dominated by extremists

This is fascinating: Likely voters in battleground districts see extremists as having a more dominant influence over the Democratic Party than the GOP. This result comes from The Hill 2010 Midterm Election Poll, which found that 44 percent of likely voters say the Democratic Party is more dominated by its extreme elements; whereas 37 percent […]

 

Media Pushes NOW Is the ‘Voice of Women’ Lie

N.O.W., the National Organization of Whores, leaped into the lead for the title of most epically hypocritical organization this week. Whoops, silly me!:  I mean National Organization for Women. But, as ExJon of Exurban League pointed out to me, they won’t mind being called whores, will they? I mean, they obviously have no problem with […]

 



Dick Blumenthal Is Delusional

Dick Blumenthal appears to: have hand foot in mouth disease.:  Is he really that out of touch with America and Connecticut voters?:  Hasn’t he realized that there are a record number of people on food stamps and unemployment is almost 10%?:  Good Times?:  Really, Dick? Linda McMahon’s site is here. Crossposted to RedState

 


George Soros Cuts Off Dems’ Allowance

I get the sense, from reading this, that Daddy George Soros lent the Democratic Party his credit card and instead of buying a semester’s worth of books, two school sweatshirts and a medium sized decaf coffee like they were supposed to, they maxed out the card on the political equivalent of hookers and cocaine (which, […]

Ray LaHood tries to resuscitate the ARC Hudson River tunnel with … bike lanes?

OK, not really. But bike lanes in a rail tunnel isn’t the most preposterous idea Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has come up with. And he is on record as being a huge fan of pedal power over motorized transport. Mr. Bike Lanes swooped into Jersey yesterday seeking to persuade Governor Chris Christie to reconsider his […]

 

FrumForum Contributor Alex Knepper Fired by Daily Caller in Pedophilia Scandal

I had an exchange at my blog with Alex Knepper some time back, after California’s Proposition 8 became a national controversy. I don’t dislike Alex. Lately though, on Facebook and Twitter, Alex has come across as extremely combative, for example in response to my essay on Tyler Clementi. I had slammed his arguments as juvenile […]

 

Chris Christie’s Awesome Week

For a guy who’s “not running” for president Chris Christie is making all the right moves. New Jersey’s rock-star governor is on fire, raising money for national candidates, thrilling crowds from Iowa to California, standing up to the teachers union (while still being firmly committed to public education), and keeping his promises to eliminate wasteful […]

 

What’s more surprising: that the President is being disingenuous, or that I’m so surprised at the level of disingenuousness?

Barack Obama, speaking in Richmond last month: “Now, I’m not a math teacher. But I know a little bit about math. They’re proposing about $4 trillion worth of tax cuts. About $700 billion of those tax cuts are for people who typically are millionaires and billionaires, and on average would get $100,000 in tax relief–$700 […]
