Remember that one? I certainly do because, as a young leftie, I shouted it at many demonstrations. I also shouted, “Off the pig!” and even went so far as to support, at least from a distance, the “Days of Rage” as described by John Jacobs of the Weatherman faction of the Students for a Democratic […]
A Muslim cleric introduced Egypt’s new President, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi by saying: Our Capital ‘shall be Jerusalem, Allah willing’.: For his part, Morsi pronounced: Abroad women are ‘free,’ but not here. These types of proclamations do not bode well for Egyptian minorities, which includes members of the Coptic Church community, who make up […]
-By Warner Todd Huston Imagine if Bush had insulted his Latino guests like this. Latinos with forks, that seems to be Obama’s newest fear. At least, that’s the case judging from his actions at this years National Association of Latino Elected Officials (NALEO) luncheon since Obama had the Secret Service confiscate all the dinner forks […]

Things are getting a little tense for Democrats and the far left Democrat voters as they see the good possibility that the Obamacare health insurance mandate will be shot down this week by the Supreme Court. There is even the possibility that the whole thing will be shot down because the wholly Democrat legislation did […]
“Space weather expert has ominous forecast“. A stream of highly charged particles from the sun is headed straight toward Earth, threatening to plunge cities around the world into darkness and bring the global economy screeching to a halt. This isn’t the premise of the latest doomsday thriller. Massive solar storms have happened before – and […]
By Jeffrey A. Miron, senior lecturer at Harvard and Senior Fellow at Cato. I disagree with his recommendation on military spending but the other recommendations are: fine. Eight out of nine is pretty good.
The important question to ask about Attorney General Eric Holder is: Whom does he protect and whom does he pursue? Until recently, Holder claimed “deliberative privilege” to justify his refusal to comply with House Oversight Committee subpoenas for documents involving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives “Fast and Furious” program of 2009-2010. The […]
Rather than shoot the new video in the newsroom set we typically use as home base, I decided to borrow a used Apollo capsule and Saturn rocket to make my way to Space Station V. What better place to discuss the alien invasion that’s about to strike planet earth? Or at least the one that […]
Here’s the actual headline: Polygamous towns face federal lawsuit for religious discrimination Officials of polygamous sect near Utah-Arizona border discriminate against nonmembers by putting their leader Jeffs above law, suit claims. Shouldn’t any legal action against a “polygamous sect” somehow involve…polygamy? It is still illegal, isn’t it? And if Justice isn’t going after them for […]
Café Hayek’s Don Boudreaux made an interesting argument in a letter he wrote to the Wall Street Journal: …industrial capitalism is history’s greatest anti-pollutant. Asphalt and automobiles, for example, combine to cleanse our cities and towns of the bacteria and insects (and stench) that are inseparable from animal-powered transportation. The petroleum used to make asphalt […]
So much for Hollywood’s days of the sweeping Biblical epic, I suppose, but a film director and author of a controversial book on Jesus Christ has announced he’s found the financial backing to produce a film on the Christian Messiah that will contend that Jesus was just a good politician, one born after his mother […]
The most shocking thing is that almost no one will be shocked by this typical complete lack of class by people sure to vote Democrat (Philly.com) Last Friday, an attaché of important gay people from Philadelphia made a trip to Washington D.C. as invited guests of President Barack Obama for the White House’s first-ever gay […]
Because, you know, it’s all those people with no freaking money who make the economy run, create jobs, and open businesses. After his Typical Whining about Republicans, mischaracterizing the proposals, we get (UPI) “I believe we should do everything we can to help our entrepreneurs succeed,” the president said. “I want our companies to be […]
Could well be worth remembering the next time the MSM beats the drum for some: allegedly racist crime.
I wouldn’t have known that “You Need a Strong Immune System to Fight a Cold” is wrong. (And I’m not sure that it actually is.) But the other four are: reasonable.
The political left wing has long tried to cast doubt on the fairness, and even the efficacy, of free market capitalism by branding it as a “trickle down” system. This epithet is meant to show how the middle and lower classes are dependent on scraps of wealth that happen to fall from the buffet table […]
Apparently suffering the long term effects of habitual Botox abuse, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi again defied the grounding gravity of logic to concoct a thread bare story trying to tie Wednesday’s contempt of Congress proceedings in the House of Representatives to unproven allegations of voter suppression. “It is no accident; it is no coincidence […]
Oh, this is too funny. The merry pranksters at the MassGOP sent out a press release this morning, saying that as a gift for Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren‘s 63rd birthday, they had bought her an Ancestry.com membership: MassGOP’s Gift To Elizabeth Warren On Her 63rd Birthday: A Complimentary Ancestry.com Account Boston – Nearly two […]
What would you say if a Koch Brothers, right-wing effort was pushed on Americans with the knowing assistance of National Public Radio — and big money was paid to NPR for the effort? Would you say that this is an outrage, that NPR’s use of public airwaves to push a right-wing policy idea is a […]
One of the most controversial wings of the pro-life movement is the “personhood” effort. Championed by Personhood USA out of Colorado, its goal is to have personhood defined in law to include the unborn. Theoretically, it sounds good. Practically, it will never work and meanwhile is severely hurting the pro-life movement. The pro-life movement […]
Let me be clear: I mostly support Obama’s use of drone strikes against Islamist terrorists around the world. It’s one of the few things on which I agree with him. Actually, it’s more like agreeing with Joe Biden, who recommended using more strikes and less troops in regards to the surge in Afghanistan. The United […]
Well, this is a bit of a shocker. The Editorial Board comes out in favor of Congress Perhaps it’s true, as the White House has argued, that Mr. Issa’s investigation has degenerated into a partisan fishing expedition. And perhaps yielding to that would discourage candor in the councils of this and future administrations, as the […]
Over at the Atlantic, Anne-Marie Slaughter wrote a much discussed piece yesterday called Why Women Still Can’t Have It All. Here are some excerpts, As the evening wore on, I ran into a colleague who held a senior position in the White House. She has two sons exactly my sons’ ages, but she had chosen […]
David Duke, who’s an awful human being, endorsed Charles Barron, who’s a similarly awful human being. Normally, this would be a front page story everywhere with Democrats proclaiming that Duke’s endorsement proves Barron is racist, but Barron is black. And a Democrat. And did I mention he’s also an awful human being? Former KKK Grand […]
From AFP: Chinese authorities confirmed Thursday that a woman was forced to abort seven months into her pregnancy, several days after her plight came to light when images of her baby’s corpse were posted online. Rights groups have blamed authorities in north China’s Shaanxi province for forcing Feng Jianmei to abort her pregnancy because she […]
Kathy Shaidle: at Five Feet of Fury linked to this editorial which explains: how the battle for free speech was won: up in the frozen North. Excerpt: Justice Minister Rob Nicholson: had voiced support for the legislation. So had the Prime Minister.

While it was definitely one of the elements, Ronald Reagan did more to help defeat the Soviet Union than conduct financial warfare via economic pressures.: U.S. defense spending increased during his administration.: Having faced the brunt of Adolf Hitler’s blitzkrieg, which was built post WWI in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, the Soviet Union’s […]
