How’s that HopeyChangey crappola working for ya? (AP) The college class of 2012 is in for a rude welcome to the world of work. A weak labor market already has left half of young college graduates either jobless or underemployed in positions that don’t fully use their skills and knowledge. Young adults with bachelor’s degrees […]
The Franklin Center and Freedomworks teamed up to put on BlogCon 2012 in the Queen City this year. They brought me in to….um, I don’t know, hang out, take pictures, cause I am that damn charming? Something — I don’t know, but I love doing these events and I’m glad they did. Day 0: Arrival […]
The theater of the absurd that is our presidential election keeps chugging along with all the vigor our economy doesn’t. One can’t blame Democrats for attempting distraction upon distraction, given the alternative of talking about President Obama’s record. After all, if it is indeed about the economy, stupid, the only votes there for Democrats are […]
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen liberal commentators look back with nostalgia to the days when a young man fresh out of high school or military service could get a well-paying job on an assembly line at a unionized auto factory that could carry him through to a comfortable retirement. As it happens, […]
1): “John Kerry. In his 20 years in the Senate, he’s been a standard-issue Massachusetts liberal, with a lifetime rating from Americans for Democratic Action of 93 on their 0-100 scale. By contrast, the other Senator from the Bay State, Teddy Kennedy, has a lifetime rating of 88. “That makes Kennedy the conservative of the two,” […]
Why, oh, why can’t those racist, women-hating Republicans ever nominate a black woman to anything? I mean, those kindly leftists are right, those evil Republi… oh, wait. Looks like those lying Democrats are wrong again. We see in Utah where Mia Love has just overwhelmingly taken the GOP nomination to run for Utah’s 4th Congressional […]
The extremists of the left (you know, Democrats) have been trying to make a big deal out of the time that Mitt Romney put his dog on top of his car in the dim, dark past. They say this proves that Romney is mean, evil, rotten, a dog-hating scumbag. But in his own memoir President […]

Welcome to Ãœber Liberal World! (Washington Post) Our lives are cluttered with unnecessary traditions, ideas and institutions. Warm weather came early this year, but there’s still time for a good spring cleaning. After purging old receipts, broken appliances and unloved outfits, what else should we toss? Outlook asked 10 writers what they thought we’d be […]
“The idea hit when an executive watched his college-age daughter ‘bath her entire salmon in ranch dressing.’”
The Walt Disney Concert Hall is . . .: interesting.
The American Cancer Society, American Heart Association and American Lung Association wrote Proposition 29, the measure on the June 5 ballot in California to increase the state’s cigarette tax by $1, to $1.87 per pack. Lung Association President Jane Warner likes to emphasize the demarcation at play: She’s with the good guys, while the bad […]
20) Celebrity Web Sites:: I’m so tired of celebrity websites. In fact, I’ve yet to ever see a really good one. They tend to be boring and sparsely updated and no one would ever even look at these pages if their owners weren’t famous. Oh look, the celebrity likes to play video games, ooh they went […]
Once again, I’ve decided it’s time to rank the most popular political websites using: Alexa.com… Do keep in mind that… 1) While I think this is a fairly comprehensive list, I’m sure some pages were probably left out. That wasn’t intentional, it’s just something that is going to happen when you try to take on an […]
Old-timer Phil Donahue, about who rumor has it used to have some sort of TV show back in the previous century, has recently turned up on NPR for some unexplainable reason. And, like his long past career, he’s dwelling equally in the past with his new comments about the authorization of force against Iraq in […]
Strange that I’m failing to find this story in any of the usual liberal media outlets (Big Government) But Pastor T. Ray McJunkins of the Union Baptist Church and President of the Faith Coalition for the Common Good and William McNary of USAction stole the show. McJunkins delivered an energetic address he closed up metaphorically […]
Two points to start out: first, I could personally care less about legalization of marijuana for medical use or complete legalization (with certain regulations such as age controls), as I do not use it. But, from my classical liberalism point of view, smoking it doesn’t hurt other people, and, if it doesn’t hurt other people, […]
Part of this will be familar to econonerds, but there’s a lot that’s new. SOCIALISM You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour. COMMUNISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. . . . A FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a […]
Not Chinese. This factor is the Chinese writing system (which Japan borrowed and adapted centuries ago). The learner needs to know at least 3,000-4,000 characters to make sense of written Chinese, and thousands more to have a real feel for it. Chinese, with all its tones, is hard enough to speak. But: the mammoth feat […]
Richard A. Grenell — a frequent contributor to PJ Media, where I am CEO — has been named “national security and foreign policy spokesman” for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Writes The Washington Post’s Election 2012 Blog: “Grenell brings foreign policy chops and more than a decade of political experience to the aggressive but […]
The New Jersey Miracle — the election of Chris Christie as governor — may be about to have a sequel in the very real chance that Republican State Senate leader Joe Kyrillos could upend Democratic incumbent Bob Menendez in the U.S. Senate race this year. Stranger things have happened. The latest statewide surveys all show […]
If you’re familiar with the basics of how your computer and the internet works, you’re more unusual than you think. I can tell you that definitively because I do internet tech support and I’ve talked to people who have (and no, I’m not joking)… — Said they deleted all the .dll files on their computer […]
I’m at BlogCon in Charlotte, North Carolina, and we just had a special screening of the new Stephen Bannon film,: Occupy Unmasked, which features a lot of footage of: Andrew Breitbart. After the film, Jim Jamitis (@anthropocon: on Twitter) presented Dana Loesch, Brandon Darby, Larry O’Connor, and John Nolte with a painting he created as a tribute to […]
It’s just unfair, isn’t it? I mean, if an $80,000-per-year, union protected, unfireable, teacher can’t retire at the extremely young age of 47 while the rest of us have to work into our 70s, well, what kind of world are we living in? That’s how teachers in Michigan feel, anyway. Just ask the haughty Terri […]
Have you ever noticed that when Progressives talk about some subject, there is always some sort of exclusionary point? The want higher taxes, but, not for themselves. They want globull warming laws, but, not for themselves. They want national health care, but not for unions and other left wing groups and companies. And (Washington Post) […]
I hope Pelosi and the Dems go through with it: it’d be amusing seeing a several hundred page constitutional amendment put up for a vote (CNS News) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday endorsed a movement announced by other congressional Democrats on Wednesday to ratify an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow […]
Thomas Sowell is not only one of the finest columnists in the business, he’s a prolific author, a brilliant economist, and he has an incomparable knack for simplifying complex concepts that few other human beings can match. Enjoy the distilled wisdom! 25) “Since this is an era when many people are concerned about ‘fairness’ and […]
Democracies end when power is moved farther and farther from actual democratic processes. First, the state governments (standing closest to the citizen) is diminished in favor of a centralized government that answers chiefly to bureaucrats, lobbyists, and the permanent Washington government establishment; then the elected members of Congress are diminished in favor of unelected bureaucrats […]
There is a reflexive desire among a certain species of moderate Republicans to be perceived as “civil” by liberal opponents who believe that the mere: existence: of free-market, limited-government conservatism is an indecent affront to humankind. All aboard the U.S.S. Lost Cause. This disastrous, bend-over bipartisanship is a hard habit to break. In 2008, Arizona Sen. John […]
It’s going to be bait and switch for as far as the eye can see. That’s how it looks now that the smoke has cleared after the recent “Mommy War” skirmish over Democratic operative Hilary Rosen’s comment that mother of five Ann Romney had “never worked a day in her life.” There’s no need to […]
