We May Now Have The Best Explanation Yet For The Hiring Of Eric Holder

At what point do you: go so far past diversity that you’re just being quirky? The Department of Justice is certainly testing those limits with its hiring practices. The PJ Tatler has obtained documents from the Justice Department detailing efforts to recruit attorneys and staff who are dwarfs or who have “psychiatric disabilities” or “severe intellectual […]

It Has Come To This: Government Crackdowns On Birthday Parties

Is there anything, anything at all that Americans can do without having some government busybody sticking his nose into it? Apparently,: not even birthday parties are safe.

5 Things Women Do That Secretly Annoy Men

Ladies, have you ever had a person that you care about but he has this annoying habit that grinds your nerves? Since you’re an open and honest human being, you want to talk to him about it, but the one time you alluded to it before, he got all huffy about it? Now, you don’t […]

Yeah, Let Me Tell You How Your “Civil War” Would End, Buddy

Some dopey, irresponsible Texas judge is rah-rahing the idea of a “Civil War” if Obama wins. Lubbock County Judge Tom Head told KJTV-TV on Monday that a 1.7 cent tax increase for the next fiscal year is necessary to prepare for the “worst case scenario: civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe.” “We’re not just […]

Missouri: The ‘Show Me Another G.O.P. Candidate’ State

Relying on Todd Akin’s sense of decency has not worked. Within hours of his idiotic comments about “legitimate rape,” Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS pulled out millions of dollars in funding for the Missouri Senate race. Akin didn’t get the hint. Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, withdrew all funding from the Missouri race. […]

Eating America’s seed corn

As gas prices climb back toward $4 a gallon, the Obama administration — facing a tough re-election campaign and rising Middle East tensions — is once again considering tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. For years, administrations have bought and stored oil for emergencies, in fear of a cutoff of imported oil, as happened during the […]

The Greatest Threat to our Democracy

The American system of democracy is under threat. It’s under threat from an Obama campaign that seeks to polarize Americans along race and class lines. It’s under threat from a Democratic Party that seeks to pit those who pay taxes against those who don’t. But most of all, it’s under attack from America’s public sector […]

Stark’s ‘Second Litter’ Subsidy

Rep. Pete Stark, 80, has seven children; three are minors, the product of his third marriage. He once told the Los Angeles Times that he calls the three youngest his “second litter.” Lucky Stark.

GM Goes From Bad to Worse Despite Obama Bailout

Readers with long memories may recall that Charles E. Wilson, president of General Motors and nominee for secretary of defense, got into trouble when he told a Senate committee, “What is good for the country is good for General Motors, and what’s good for General Motors is good for the country.” That was in 1953, […]

Trapping season

It’s trapping season. The targets are Republicans, whom the Democratic-friendly media (the trappers) hunt in order to smear — especially the Romney-Ryan ticket — forcing them off message. The bait in the latest case is the issue of abortion in cases of rape. The hunter’s target was Rep. Todd Akin, a Missouri Republican, who is […]

Mistrust Fuels Continued Gold Demand

In the face of growing fears of a renewed global plunge into economic depression and a climate of low apparent price inflation, investors might expect commodities and precious metals to be falling in price.

Why Mitt Romney Is So Despicable!

Much is being said in the media about how Mitt Romney is not “likable”, about how he doesn’t “relate well” to everyday people.:  A lot is being written about how his background makes it impossible for him to relate to middle class Americans.:  After extensive, intensive, investigative research there is now a Top Ten List […]

Initiate Secondary Protocol? Missouri ‘Leans Democratic’ Thanks To Akin

Since Akin’s unfortunate and avoidable gaffe, AllahPundit of HotAir reported yesterday that the Cook Report has moved Missouri from ‘toss-up’ to ‘leans Democratic.’ : As I’ve said before, if we do not have a Republican congress this year, it’ll be because Todd Akin was too proud to step aside. : Ignoring the words of the presumptive Republican […]

GOP Adopts Arizona Style Immigration Platform

I’m positive the Typical Liberal Useful Idiots will proclaim this as “hate” and being mean and raaaaacist and bigoted, though they won’t be able to explain why once you force them past the talking points (The Hill) The Republican Party has officially endorsed its backing for Arizona-style state immigration laws, adding into its platform language […]

Cheapskates At DNC Refuse To Reimburse Town For Obama Visit

This is becoming a pattern. It’s happened many, many times. I find it rather interesting that the DNC doesn’t care that much about the fiscal soundness of the towns Obama visits and are unwilling to spread their own wealth around (Fox News) The Democratic National Committee has informed a Connecticut town it will not be […]

The 7 Best Pure Writers On Conservative Blogs

As someone who writes for a living, I appreciate good writing. I also think there are a lot of extremely talented writers in the blogosphere who don’t get their due. So, with that in mind, I wanted to put together an unranked list of the best writers in the blogosphere. Note that “best writers” doesn’t […]

So What Does Spending A Half Million Dollars On MSNBC Stimulate?

Even if Keynesian stimulus worked – and the historical evidence overwhelmingly shows that it doesn’t –: this doesn’t seem very ah…stimulating. The Labor Department paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal stimulus funds to a public relations firm to run more than 100 commercials touting the Obama administration’s “green training” job efforts on two […]

“Does Paul Ryan’s Black Ex-Girlfriend Matter?”

Over at: The Root, it was asked: Does Paul Ryan’s Black Ex-Girlfriend Matter? As reported on Twitter by CNN’s Pete Hamby, Ryan said he has a black sister-in-law, but perhaps even more interesting, his “college sweetheart” was African American. So here is the million-dollar question: Is the fact that Ryan has dated interracially a noteworthy detail to […]

Journo-Tools for Obama

Can we stop calling the hosts of the presidential debates “moderators”? They’re left-erators. It’s time for the old media godfathers to end the pretense that they’re fair and neutral observers of the American political scene. And it’s time for the GOP to stop perpetuating these rigged exercises in futility. Last week, the Commission on Presidential […]

Who Is Paul Ryan?

I wanted to like Paul Ryan. Before he was nationally known, Rep. Ryan visited me at ABC, and we went to lunch. He was terrific. He was a rare politician, one who actually cared about America’s coming debt crisis and the unfairness of entitlements. He even talked about F.A. Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom”! If […]

The politicization of violence

If it hasn’t completely vanished down the memory hole, you might recall that last week a man walked into the headquarters of the conservative Family Research Council with a backpack full of Chick-fil-A sandwiches and bullets, said something like “I don’t like your politics” and then shot the building manager. The suspect, Floyd Lee Corkins […]

Educational Lunacy

If I were a Klansman, wanting to sabotage black education, I couldn’t find better allies than education establishment liberals and officials in the Obama administration, especially Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who in March 2010 announced that his department was “going to reinvigorate civil rights enforcement.” For Duncan, the civil rights issue was that black […]
