All in the name of the climate change hoax* (Daily Caller) The Environmental Protection Agency has said new greenhouse gas regulations, as proposed, may be “absurd” in application and “impossible to administer” by its self-imposed 2016 deadline. But the agency is still asking for taxpayers to shoulder the burden of up to 230,000 new bureaucrats […]
As ObamaCare may be headed to the Supreme Court, we find out that (Washington Examiner) It’s been said a thousand times: Congress had to pass President Obama’s health care law in order to find out what’s in it. But, despite the repetitiveness, the level of shock from each new discovery never seems to recede. This […]
The sad case of Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14 year old gay kid who committed suicide after being bullied, has inspired Lady Gaga to try to get involved in the situation. She’s insisting that bullying be made illegal. Since she’s a spoiled pop star suggesting an idea that’s about as sensible as wearing a meat suit, […]
Our government is slow, stupid, clumsy and wasteful. It doesn’t do anything well and most things it does exceedingly poorly. Therefore, the bigger government gets, the more lives it’s going to screw up. That’s as predictable as death and taxes and it’s why wise people regard government as a necessary evil. Yes, you do need […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Geither Wants To Spend 200k Of Your Money Per Job Created?
I do love the way my liberal Facebook friends make me aware of things I wouldn’t otherwise notice. One of those things is a Matt Miller op-ed in the Washington Post, which imagines the perfect speech a dream independent candidate would give. As Miller describes it: This is one columnist’s stab at what a candidate […]
Nothing could be more racist than pointing out that liberals are racist. That’s why moonbats’ heads are exploding over the Berkeley College Republicans “Increase Diversity Bake Sale,” which offers a pricing structure that reflects race-based admission preferences: The bake sale is in protest of SB 185, which, if signed by Brown, would allow California public […]
Ron Paul is not serious about running for president nor is he a serious candidate even were he to be so inclined. But serious or no, he is a horrible candidate regardless. Now, there may have been a time a decade or so ago when Ron Paul really thought he had a shot at being […]
Let’s get an update on the GOP candidates for President. I’ve watched the debates. I was especially interested in how Perry would do. As everyone in Texas knows, Gov. Perry did’n’t debate Bill White last time he was running for Governor. I wondered if it was because his debating skills aren’t the best. I know […]
Ah, but not in the way you think, as Prison Planet points out Armed troops acting on behalf of a British carbon trading company backed by the World Bank burned houses to the ground and killed children to evict Ugandans from their homes in the name of seizing land to protect against “global warming,” a […]
I wish I knew who to credit for this because it is so spot-on.
He’s continuing his Mr. Angry tone. And we all know that insulting and denigrating one’s opposition is the best way to get them to co-operate (Fox News) President Barack Obama charged that the Republican vision of government would “fundamentally cripple America,” as he tried out his newly combative message on the liberal West Coast. Aiming […]
Apparently, there is a limit to how much made up material the public will swallow about a public figure, even if it’s Sarah Palin. Despite massive publicity, two new books chronicling the Sarah Palin soap opera–The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin by veteran political writer Joe McGinnis and Deer in the Headlights: My […]
The general take on this seems to be that, “Obama asks CBC for Biblical faith in his agenda.” President Obama made an appeal to the religious faith of black voters at a Congressional Black Caucus rally, likening Biblical prophets who had faith in God — and so refused to worship an idol — to the […]
Want to see what your future looks like under Obamacare? Look at Britain? Want to know what America’s future looks like in a decade or two if the Democratic Party gets its way and keeps spending us into oblivion? Then look at Greece. A clerk in her local town hall, Ms. Firigou, like all public-sector […]
Reuters has a very interesting article detailing the fall of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in the modern era. It is a long article, but if you are interested in the way the UAW intends to keep itself relevant to the auto industry on into the future, it is worth the read. It is also […]
See if you can spot this week’s theme. Link: The Greatest EBay Auction…Ever! Link: The Crawdad Hole. Or, as I like to say: Link: Trog. Which leads me to: Link: Trog, although I’ve got Steve Benen to thank for the idea. Link: Hot Air. Link: Betsy’s Page. Link: Da Tech Guy. Link: Weasel Zippers. And: […]
He tells them they should support his jobs plan, because his previous one, the Stimulus, did wonders for Black unemployment In a fiery summons to an important voting block, President Barack Obama told blacks on Saturday to quit crying and complaining and “put on your marching shoes” to follow him into battle for jobs and […]
Former: Washington Post: reporter makes a case that: W. is a: mensch. I certainly think so.
For readers in the RTP area, a weekly–Friday–update of “the latest Triangle restaurant news“. Stuff I don’t always see in the local newspaper.
If I were cynical, I’d think the New York Times’ Joe Nocera was trying to muddle up the Solyndra scandal. He writes: If Brian Harrison and W. G. Stover, the two Solyndra executives who took the Fifth Amendment at a Congressional hearing on Friday, ever spend a day in jail, I’ll stand on my head […]
-By Warner Todd Huston A middle school in Smyrna, Georgia included in an assignment material that essentially shows 7th grade children that Islamic polygamy is a perfectly legitimate concept and that there is nothing wrong with the strict dress codes used to oppress Muslim women the world over. The material was presented to the 7th […]
This isn’t just any petition, folks: it is one sponsored on the official White House website. I mentioned this a while ago, was waiting for it to go live, went live Thursday (unshockingly, the majority of petitions are about doing away with drug laws) Welcome to We the People on WhiteHouse.gov. This tool provides you […]
In a good sign for blogger free speech, a lawsuit against a high profile conservative blog in Illinois has just been tossed out. A political contributor brought the lawsuit over a story about property tax reassessments and political contributions. This is a victory for free political speech as well as a victory for the status […]
The left went crazy nuts over the fact that some audience members booed a gay American soldier after he asked this question at the last GOP debate: “My question is, under one of your presidencies, do you intend to circumvent the progress that’s been made for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military?” It was […]
…this post has it all! Many fun and interesting things happen on eBay. True. But none so fun or interesting — or as satisfying — as this one: This is an auction for the famous “Pink Slip” that was hurled at Representative Robin Vos at the Racine Lincoln Day Dinner by notorious goof ball, Vos-Stalker, […]
Well, that’s the headline you’d read from every liberal website if George W. Bush had enacted rules such as this (via the Weekly Standard) Asthma patients who rely on over-the-counter inhalers will need to switch to prescription-only alternatives as part of the federal government’s latest attempt to protect the Earth’s atmosphere. The Food and Drug […]
Starting off the day with some humorous talk from a guy who isn’t capable of using TurboTax correctly, and whose boss has racked up 4 trillion in debt in two years US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has called on European leaders at the G20 in Washington to send a “decisive signal” that they have a […]
Actually, there are many “best parts“.
I’ve been gradually warming up to soccer, at least as played by the better European clubs. But one question I have is this:: ESPN, The Magazine, 9/19, p. 114, reports that in the English Premier League, averaging over the last four seasons, the percentage of shots on goal was a hair more than 36%. To compare, […]
