How many CIA analysts does it take to screw in a light bulb?

I dunno the answer, but that headline was automatically sent to my twitter feed. So I hope any CIA analysts reading it are enjoying the discussion amongst themselves: AP Exclusive: CIA following Twitter, Facebook In an anonymous industrial park in Virginia, in an unassuming brick building, the CIA is following tweets – up to 5 […]

Your Obligatory Herman Cain Scandal Post

Now that something significant has finally happened with it, I’ll go ahead and say something here. What has happened that is significant? Rush Limbaugh opined on it, and it’s the first thing I’ve read that makes sense. Video with recording of the broadcast behind the link. Politico, you failed. You attempted, along with others in […]

Occupiers Finally Occupy Washington, Still Missing The Mark

How many times have we told the Occupiers that their gripes should lead them to go Occupy Washington, D.C.? That they seem to be upset about bailouts and stupid government spending? Well, finally, some of the Occupy Morons decided to occupy D.C. How’s that working? (Raw Story) About 20 unemployed and underemployed D.C. residents occupied […]

“The 10 Best Star Trek Episodes”

Interesting, but sorry,: #6 should be #1. “The Trouble with Tribbles” was one of the finest episodes of television in my lifetime. When Scottie grinned and said, “Where they’ll be no tribble at all” and that orchestral fanfare blew in . . . an eleven-year-old me couldn’t help but smile and think life was great.

Seven Differences Between Winners And Losers

Over the course of my life, I’ve read hundreds of books about how to better your life and I’ve been fortunate enough to converse with an enormous number of extremely successful people. What I’ve learned is that for most people, success is no accident. Winners are winners for a reason just as losers are losers […]

It’s Time for the Occupy Mob to Call It Quits

Remember when the Left was saying that Americans should fear the Tea Partiers because they were a potentially dangerous, violent mob? Well now, we actually have a dangerous, violent mob of thugs, anarchists, hippies, and wannabe revolutionaries committing rape and vandalism in between arrests and breaks to poo on people’s doorsteps. And guess what? Liberals […]

A Night at Los Angeles Public Library

We live in times when the different sides in our country speak languages as far apart as Chinese and Italian. Witness what happened to me earlier this week when I was a panelist at the Los Angeles Public Library’s ALOUD Program on the subject of “Hollywood — Left and Right.” With me on the panel […]

Reject the Occupy Wall Street Haters!

-By Warner Todd Huston As each day passes we see more of the violence, theft, property destruction and anti-Semitism of these Occupy-Whatevers. We are learning that these Occupy events are run by ACORN, big labor and various anti-American groups such as communists, socialists, and what have you. Worse there are instances of rape going on […]

CO2 Output Jumps As Temperature Correlation Refuses To Comply

I blame Warmists for taking unnecessary fossil fueled flights to attend conferences that blame people taking unnecessary fossil fueled flights (Yahoo News) The global output of heat-trapping carbon dioxide jumped by the biggest amount on record, the U.S. Department of Energy calculated, a sign of how feeble the world’s efforts are at slowing man-made global […]

Petulant President Gets Petulant After Another Vote Goes Against Him

Mr. Obama had one hell of a day Thursday. First, he saw yet another piece of his pork barrel “scratch some campaign donors backs” stimulus plan go down (Politico) The widely anticipated defeat of the Democrats’ Rebuild America Jobs Act, which would have provided $60 billion for transportation infrastructure projects, marked the third blow to […]

Time Magazine: Thumbs Up To Firebombing People You Disagree With!

A British satirical magazine was firebombed, likely by radical Islamic fascists, after doing an issue that mocked Muhammad. Unbelievably, Time Magazine’s Bruce Crumley responded to this attempt to shut down free speech by condoning the attacks. Yes, he tossed in some weaselly language to cover his behind, but read what he says and see if […]

This Week In Quotes: Oct 30 – Nov 3

I have a pretty good idea how the 21st century works and (pause) there’s not a single successful country on the planet that operates on the theory that the government is the problem (pause) not one. Every successful country has both a strong private economy and a smart, strong government that work together to provide […]

Obama’s Drug Shortage Demagoguery

President Obama couldn’t wait to trample over the legislative process again. This week, he issued his 98th executive order on an irresistibly exploitatable policy issue: prescription drug shortages. Soon, “One a Day” won’t just be a multivitamin. It’ll be the rate of White House administrative fiats. Federal officials darkly suggest that selfish industry “stockpiling” is […]

The British Empire — Vindicated

As many Americans no longer believe in American exceptionalism and others believe America’s greatness is guaranteed to extend perpetually, we could all benefit by reviewing the history of the British Empire, the realm from which we sprung and acquired so much. By the time most baby boomers were born, the British Empire had declined. The […]

Herman’s High-Tech Lynching

No one who followed politics 20 years ago will forget the night when Clarence Thomas sent an electric charge through a Senate hearing room. As liberal Democrats pushed the unproven sexual harassment charges of Anita Hill, in an attempt to destroy Thomas’s chance to serve on the Supreme Court, Thomas called them out for conducting […]

GOP Flip-Flopping Over Mitt Romney

Three years ago, conservative Republicans were falling all over themselves to support Mitt Romney in the Republican primary over John McCain. McCain was considered too moderate, and by the time the Republican primary came around, many conservatives had soured on Mike Huckabee, having heard rumors he was staying in the race as a spoiler purposely […]

Help Stop The High Cost of Federal Regulations

One of the reasons that our economic recovery has been so slow is that the Obama administration has opened a continuous avalanche of regulations affecting jobs, hampering businesses, and costing all of us billions in lost revenue, taxation, and waste. But there is a bill in the House called the REINS Act that could help […]

Even Dems Think Obama’s Regulations are Stupid

When you’re trying to help the economy recover, the smartest thing to do would be to make it as easy as possible for Americans to start and run their own small businesses, no? I mean, look, if corporate America isn’t hiring and the government can’t afford the workers it has now, the only option is […]

Oakland’s Liberal Mayor Sends In Police Against Liberal Occupiers

I’m not sure what Oakland mayor Jean Quan was thinking. The protesters were completely peaceful (MSNBC) Police in riot gear clashed with protesters in Oakland in the early morning hours on Thursday, firing tear gas to disperse demonstrators lingering in the streets after a day of mostly peaceful rallies against economic inequality and police brutality. […]

Why Our Blacks Are Better Than Their Blacks

By spending the last three decades leveling accusations of “racism” every 10 seconds, liberals have made it virtually impossible for Americans to recognize real racism — for example, the racism constantly spewed at black conservatives. In the last year alone, a short list of the things liberals have labeled “racist” include: — Being a Republican; […]

Who Are These Fat-Cat Few at the Top?

First lady Michelle Obama the other day railed at “the few at the top,” who do all sorts of bad things. A few months ago, we began hearing of the “1 percent” who are responsible for the current economic mess. “They” apparently make all their money at the expense of the other 99 percent. Are […]
