1) “Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.” — The Princess Bride Life is struggling and failing, worrying about money, having to do things you don’t want to do for people you don’t like, getting your heart broken, losing friends, having people you love die, getting hit with health problems, and […]
In an ideal world, we would cut corporate taxes and the capital gains tax to help drive economic growth while we cut government spending to the bone and reformed Social Security/Medicare before we even considered raising taxes. That being said, anyone who thinks we’re going to get out of the spending hole we’re in right […]
I have two twentysomething daughters who’re currently taking over the planet. When these female charges popped out of their mommy’s womb, this thing called “responsibility for their upbringing” hit me like a Jackie Chan punch. I didn’t slough off my role in their lives onto my wife, my church, public school, day care, relatives, TV, […]
It seems as though the last month has been a gift to Republicans, particularly the Romney campaign. President Obama has committed gaffe after gaffe, and every new economic indicator is yet another pebble on the scale now fully tipped against him. Now he’s decided the key to stimulating the economy isn’t to lower the burden […]
If you don’t know anything about Rodney King beyond the famous tape of his beating in LA and the riots that followed, it may not matter very much to you that he drowned to death yesterday. Details began to emerge Sunday about the death of Rodney King, a key figure in the 1992 Los Angeles […]
“…and I’m here to tell you how you can win a cameo as a disembodied head, just like me!” Just kidding. Dubya didn’t say any of that. But maybe he should have. Surely you’ve heard of this by now: HBO and producers of “Game of Thrones” apologized Thursday for a scene that depicted former President […]
We’re a little Obama-heavy this week, but, feh. Click the links for more backstory. Link: Kevin Binversie. Link: Creative Minority Report. Link: Trog. Link: Grandpa Steve. Link: Trog.

Congratulations to Mackenzie Weinger and Reid J. Epstien for accurately reporting the news about White House senior adviser David Plouffe’s trip through television’s Sunday morning talk show circuit. It is truly a pity thatPlouffe and those in the White House who oversee his talking points script cannot demonstrate the same accuracy. Plouffe stated that Republicans […]
“It’s a Dad Life.” Thanks to GS (Girlfriend’s Sister).
Okay…let’s do the run-down with links, maybe we can save some space… Our first National Pharoah is “heckled”…as He announces that He’s going to change the rules by Executive Order in a way He couldn’t, by doing it the right way, which would be going through Congress. Tucker Carlson defends the heckler, pointing out — […]
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what it looks like when one advocate of a point-of-view completely thinks circles around another. She’s got the radical feminists figured out, pegged, nailed to the wall, and they wouldn’t even understand the first thing about any of it. Naughty language warning. Thanks to Dean Esmay for finding this, […]
Why? Because they are unsightly, make lots of noise, cannot be depended on to produce power when it is not windy or too windy, what power they produce cannot be stored, and really, they only people who benefit are those that own and work for the companies that run them. The average citizen isn’t seeing […]
Joe Posnanski’s oldest daughter, after showing little interest in sports, is now a rabid NASCAR fan.: A charming story.
The Ford-class carriers will replace the Nimitz-class. The Navy plans to take delivery ofthis bad boy: in 2015.
Once again, a proud, card-carrying member of the “progressive” Party Pravda is wasting readers’ time. The headline reads: “On eve of health ruling, Ruth Bader Ginsburg predicts ‘sharp disagreement’”. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0612/77479.html How is it possible that Kyle Cheney is getting paid to spell bind readers with such gems as: “Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg laid waste Friday […]
A young Maryland boy named Joshua Eisner, 14, committed suicide early in June. He used a reproduction civil war era black powder rifle to do it. Now his father is launching an ill-advised and unnecessary drive to force more gun laws on Marylanders, pushing an idea he wants called “Joshua’s law.” According to his obituary, […]
In the fight for America’s future there are more battles than just those taking place in Washington DC over government policy. Those are important, but equally as important are the twin battles taking place in American culture. So while Washington fights over whether to expand or shrink government, a culture war is being waged to […]
Why? Because I like Jeep. I have 2006 Jeep Liberty (bought it in 2009 with 9,500 miles on it). Wendy’s is my favorite fast food place (spicy chicken combo!). I do prefer Dunkin Donuts coffee to Starbucks, though. Many of my answers to the other questions might be a bit different than either (Forbes) Democrats […]
As you’re probably aware by now, The Daily Callers Neil Munro “interrupted” Obama by daring to ask him a question at the end of Obama’s statement announcing his new de facto immunity program (I’m not calling it amnesty, because the illegals in question are not being given citizenship. Yet). It was an ill timed question […]
. . . is that we should be more “sophisticated”. You know, like Europeans. Particularly the French. Well, excusez-moi,: count me out. “The Rust Belt of France: Montpellier“. And that’s kind of what the French do; they play deaf and blind to the glaring social problems around them, preferring instead to think of their country in […]
Most: with video. : I’d have voted Serena #1 with Dennis Green and Johnny Mac close behind.
Emperor wanna be barack hussein obama, knowing full well that over the years amnesty for illegal aliens has been consistently rejected by American voters, decided to bypass the American people and the Constitutionally legitimate legislative process to rule by executive fiat. The White House has ordered the halting of the deportation of 800,000 illegal aliens, […]
Barack Obama deserves to be impeached for trying to implement the DREAM Act without Congress. It’s unconstitutional, illegal, & dictatorial. — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) June 15, 2012 Let me just it simply; No matter how much liberals may wish it so, Barack Obama is not a dictator. He doesn’t have the authority to do this […]
For those who watched the new Dallas reboot (I didn’t. Wasn’t interested in the first, not interested in this one), did you catch the underlying theme? No? Well, let Time Magazines Ecocentric explain it In case you thought that the battle between big oil and alternative fuel had cooled down, Hollywood has proven that the […]
So, Thursday, Obama gave his big “rebooting” speech, which amounted to a hodge podge of every other speech he’s given over the last 5 years, including his election 2008 speeches. He offered nothing new, including his whining. Politicker has a selection of media tweets, which includes MSNBC’s Mike O’Brien begging Obama to stop after 20 […]
From: Life News. Excerpt: Live Action released new undercover footage today showing two Planned Parenthood clinics, in Maui and Honolulu, advising undercover investigators on how to procure a sex-selective abortion of her baby girl because she wants a boy instead. Officials with the group say Planned Parenthood claims publicly to condemn sex-selective abortion but continues to […]
The mainstream media is awash with criticism of Republicans, but it always denounces the wrong people. If you listen to the media, you’d think the GOP is being wrecked by people like Jim DeMint, Allen West, Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party. In other words, the real problem with the Republican Party is supposed to […]
While calls for U.S. Attorney General Eric “Stonewall” Holder’s resignation grow and the House GOP gears up for a contempt vote next week, it’s worth remembering how we got into this mess. In two words: feckless bipartisanship. “I like Barack Obama and want to help him if I can.” That was Utah GOP Sen. Orrin […]
Ancient Sparta turned its conquered neighbors into indentured serfs — half free, half slave. The resulting Helot underclass produced the food of the Spartan state, freeing Sparta’s elite males to train for war and the duties of citizenship. Over the last few decades, we’ve created our modern version of these Helots — millions of indebted […]
