Obviously, you can tell I’m not a big Sarah Palin fan anymore, but, putting that aside, I’m not so sure this sorta endorsement will help Gingrich. It may be the equivalent of John McCain endorsing Mitt Romney to Conservatives (CBS News) It wasn’t an endorsement, but Sarah Palin gave Newt Gingrich the next best thing […]
Newsweek has gotten a great deal of attention, most of it bad, for this insipid cover. This prompted Sarah Palin to give Newsweek the smackdown it deserves. When you’re claiming to be a serious news magazine and yet, you’re running obnoxious stories by a writer who has become a laughingstock for pushing the least plausible […]
One of the more intriguing things about the last couple of weeks has been that as Mitt has gotten closer to capturing the nomination, many of the people who’ve been doing everything possible to help him now seem to be having some second thoughts (In the corporate world, this is known as CYA). Take Charles […]
This video from Jesse Jackson Jr. is a socialist masterpiece. You see, Jesse Jackson Jr. has a plan. First, we cut into unemployment by hiring more government workers! (But where does the money to hire them come from? Do we go deeper into debt forever more to pay their salaries? Do we take tax dollars […]
Here are the details on: Bobby Jindal’s new education plan, from New Orleans Online Access. Excerpt: : Gov. Bobby Jindal: on Tuesday outlined a far-reaching set of proposals aimed at improving education in Louisiana, including a state-wide voucher program for low-income students, an expansion of autonomous charter schools and steps to link a teachers’ classroom performance to their […]
Well, isn’t this rich? And I do mean rich. President Obama, man of the people, will deliver his presidential nomination acceptance speech at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. — so that Democratic Party fundraisers can reward big donors with skyboxes and other lavish perks. As usual, the White House and its allies […]
Simple answers are so satisfying: Green jobs will fix the economy. Stimulus will create jobs. Charity helps people more than commerce. Everyone should vote. Well, all those instinctive solutions are wrong. As Friedrich Hayek pointed out in “The Fatal Conceit,” it’s a problem that in our complex, extended economy, we rely on instincts developed during […]
Last week, President Barack Obama, at a Capital Hilton fundraising event, told the crowd, “We can’t go back to this brand of you’re-on-your-own economics.” Throughout my professional career as an economist, I’ve never come across the theory of “you’re-on-your-own economics.” I’m guessing what the president means by — and finds offensive in — “you’re-on-your-own economics” […]
The imposter who wallowed in negative ads; attacked capitalism at Bain Capital; and hemmed and hawed when asked about his role at Freddie Mac is gone. The real Newt Gingrich has returned! The former speaker was in his glory during Monday night’s GOP debate in South Carolina. Inspired and egged on by a conservative crowd […]
Have you heard about these terrifying super PACs? According to cable news anchors — and other trustworthy sources — they’re like political super-bugs, resistant to free will. Needless to say, the principled and high-minded political debates we’ve grown accustomed to are now over. Our unsullied national conversation is about to be defiled by a carpet-bombing […]
It’s a crying shame that in today’s network “news” media only books written by gabby left-wing celebrities generate interest. When those left-wing screeds are written by left-wing, celebrity clowns such as Michael Moore, Bill Maher or Ed Schultz, then somehow it’s A-list booking. That’s when the “Today” show and “The Tonight Show” roll out the […]
“Corporations are people, my friend,” Mitt Romney declared in a testy back-and-forth with hecklers last summer in Iowa. It was among the first of what appears to be a growing list of gaffes Democrats will use to hang around Romney’s neck in the less than certain but more than likely eventuality that he is the […]
I just got dumped by a guy who swore he was ready to settle down (after years of serial monogamy). His relationship history reminded me of the man you wrote about recently who had been married and divorced five times and was on relationship number six. Woman number six wrote you, “He’s in his 50s; […]
Once again, socialism has put a silver fork in itself. Standard & Poor’s has downgraded France’s AAA credit rating, giving the country the side-eye on its claims to have its debt under control. This means the country will now have to pay it all back at an even higher interest rate. Who are we kidding? […]
After a New Year’s Eve fight, former Venezuelan TV actress Eliana Lopez went to the home of neighbor Ivory Madison to talk about her husband’s behavior. Madison later told police that she took video of a bruise on her friend’s arm and had texts Lopez had sent that documented spousal abuse. Because Lopez is married […]
In the Republican presidential candidates’ debate on Jan. 7, Congressman Ron Paul said: “I’m the only one up here … that understands true racism in this country is in the judicial system.” He said this racism has to do with “enforcing the drug laws” and then added: “They (blacks) get the death penalty way disproportionately.” […]
This morning, I heard a fascinating conversation between a father and a talk-show host. The father said his two little boys had been put on school probation because they had been late to school nine times in the last 60 days. The father felt good about it because it served as a wake-up call. A […]
Here’s: a shocking story: from Matthew Boyle of the Daily Caller. Excerpt: When California Democratic Rep.: Nancy Pelosi: was the: Speaker of the House in 2009,: President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats authorized $100 billion in spending as a line of credit for the International Monetary Fund to be used in times of emergency – funds that could now be used […]
Wouldn’t it be something if Pres. Obama created a jobs council to get ideas and proposals to get this economy going, and they came up with almost exactly what Republicans had been pushing for since the beginning of his presidency? Well, that is exactly what happened. President Obama lauded the latest report from his jobs […]
Well, this is humiliating. TEHRAN – For the American government, the crash of the RQ-170 drone in Iran was an embarrassment. For the Iranian government, it was a propaganda victory. …………….. An Iranian firm, seeking to capitalize on the frenzy that followed the crash of the drone – and American calls to have it returned […]
The Occupy movement has been decidedly white. You may not have heard that, as you did about the Tea Party movement, just as you didn’t hear about the anti war movement being overwhelmingly white. That’s because the media wanted a certain narrative out there regarding the Tea Party movement. Heaven forbid they mention the many […]
It almost seems that on a daily basis the onetime political news website Politico is edging toward a Daily Kos-like experience and on Jan 14 we see yet another step in Politico’s journey toward left-wing extremes with a fake poll that claims that no one in South Carolina likes the Tea Party movement. Did I […]
If you want to shut up an entire room full of anti-war left-wingers, just ask them what to do about the global terrorist network, or more specifically, Iraq. Actually, this SHOULD shut them up. But instead you’ll be treated to long, nonsensical diatribes about how this is about oil, imperialism, hegemony, why we should give […]
Rather than write an editorial this week, I decided to state my position on a lot of the major issues of the day along with a brief explanation so people can see where at least one Conservative stands on the issues. For ——– ANWR:: A huge source of oil on American soil that’s in the middle […]
Inexplicably, Al Gore has decided not to run again in 2004. That is probably going to force the Democrats to pin their hopes for 2004 on either John “The Boy Trial Lawyer” Edwards, Howard “Tax and Spend” Dean, John “The Hair” Kerry, or Joe “2nd Banana On A Losing Ticket” Lieberman. Having bad candidates is […]
So says the Washington Posts Michael Gerson, who starts out calling Katharine Hayhoe, who had written the chapter in Newt Gingrich’s forthcoming book that ended up being whacked, a “moderate voice.” She’s anything but. A theory about the role of carbon dioxide in climate patterns has joined abortion and gay marriage as a culture war […]
We learn this in a The Hill article which suggests that liberals and leftists will not particularly like the Presidents proposed budget. Fortunately, the Democrat led Senate will never bother to pass it. Anyhow Top White House officials are warning liberal and labor leaders to brace themselves for President Obama’s budget proposal. Gene Sperling, director […]
I’m not going to try to snow you and pretend that the primary reason I favor an invasion of Iraq is because I want to see the Iraqi people liberated. To the contrary, the principal reason I want to see us remove Saddam is because I believe that is one of things we have to […]
A few Marines urinated on dead Taliban. It shouldn’t really be that big of a deal.
