Super-creepy stalker Joe McGinniss has written a book full over-the-top, unsourced smears about Sarah Palin and so naturally, the mainstream media is fascinated with it. One of the allegations in the book is that Sarah Palin once slept with Glenn Rice. Incidentally, this allegation doesn’t seem to have been backed up by Sarah Palin or […]
Yeah, I guess I should say something about Obama’s “Buffett tax,” though I really, really, really didn’t want to link the NY Times, thanks to that despicable 9/11 op-ed by Krugman. Alas, President Obama on Monday will call for a new minimum tax rate for individuals making more than $1 million a year to ensure […]

Apparently, all the unionized supermarket workers in California don’t want to pay their fair share The “Big Three” Southern California grocery chains are bracing for a strike and possible shut down after the union representing grocery workers canceled their contract with the stores. About 62,000 workers in the United Food and Commercial Workers union at […]
Walter Mead Russell has been doing a great series on the failure of the blue state social model. Here’s the opening to another fine piece:’ The USPS is one of the great surviving examples of the blue social model and, not surprisingly, it is going down the tubes.: Technological change has made its original mission […]
“The Play”–Stanford-Cal–is: only #3.
If you went back through the whole of human history, for the most part you’d find people living in poverty and ignorance under one sort of tyranny or another. Travel was difficult, disease was rampant, wealth was sparse, scientific advances were slow and uneven, and parents had little reason to think their children would have […]
In reverse order: 1976 — The first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, is unveiled by NASA. 1920 — The National Football League is organized in Canton, Ohio, United States. And God bless ’em for it, go Pack. 1862 — American Civil War: the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history. 1814 — Francis Scott Key […]
There is a town in Tennessee whose government owns more cars than they even have employees to drive them. This is the sort of excess that every anti-big government activist points to in order to show the bacchanalia of spending to which governments in our fair country are prone. The Times Free Press of Chattanooga, […]
They told us that allowing law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons would turn our streets into rivers of blood. They told us that taking trillions of dollars and giving it to those “who truly needed it” would cure poverty. They told us that giving home loans to those who couldn’t afford them would make the […]
Has global warming occurred? Yes. It has. Warming is what took us out of the Little Ice Age. And the Dark Ages. And many other little ice ages since the end of the last glacial period wound down 20,000 years ago. And a new study says “hey, warming is a good thing” A new study […]
Who or what should be blamed for this? The Japanese earthquake has been blamed already, but, perhaps we can blame the Virginia earthquake? As concerns about the struggling U.S. economy grow, a new CBS News/New York poll finds that President Obama’s overall approval rating has dropped to 43 percent, the lowest so far of his […]
Great. One of the classmates I contacted this year is a Washington tort lawyer. He told me how he recently represented an entrepreneur who got a permit from the Department of Interior to develop a coal mine in Tennessee, spent $3 million developing infrastructure, and was then told by the bureaucrats that they had changed […]
#6 is “Discussing Your Crime in a Diner“.
Much of what you eat, wear, read, play with, drive, and ride gets to your hometown store via a truck of some kind so the open road trucking industry — as well as local, short distance haulers — is a vital link between all of us and the necessities of life. That is why the […]
E-Verify is THE only way we have to prevent illegal aliens from getting jobs in this country. If the program were expanded and the government actually put some resources into it, it would make it extremely difficult for illegal aliens to get any job worth having in this country. In other words, it’s the single […]
Hey kids, here’s the latest webisode of Down the Rabbit Hole with Duchess Rebecca. Alex Jones and I discussed Afghanistan living, Bachmann’s problem with Gardasil, Sarah Palin’s juicy (possibly made up) past, why Bud Selig is an unpatriotic turd, Michelle Obama’s latest food casualty plus a phone-a-friend bonus, Adam Dawson, who moonlights as the drummer […]
Milton Friedman famously observed that if you put Big Government in charge of the Sahara Desert, within 5 years it would run a shortage of sand. What would happen if you let statist bureaucrats take over the healthcare system? Britain shows us: A survey of GPs [general practitioners] has found that many agree restrictions are […]
As anyone whose eyes weren’t clouded by moonbattery could easily have seen in advance, the Obama Regime’s push to spend “green jobs” into existence has been a colossal failure: A $38.6 billion loan guarantee program that the Obama administration promised would create or save 65,000 jobs has created just a few thousand jobs two years […]
Richard Miniter has a very interesting article in Forbes about the damage anti-American millionaire George Soros is causing to both Central Asia and the foreign policy of the United States. Soros is an interesting if risible figure. For good reason his name is a boogieman name for we on the right. Truthfully, though, most on […]
A known liberal activist that has for months been stalking several Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin, verbally abusing them, has finally crossed the line into a physical attack. So… where is the Old Media to chronicle this assault? Sadly, no where to be seen. On Sept. 14 left-wing activist Miles Kirstan entered The Inn at 22 […]
Once again an Obama regulatory agency tries to give itself wild new powers, powers that would crush American energy and natural resource development, powers meant to quash the business sector. A press release from Resourceful Earth News imparts a warning about the Environmental Protection Agency’s newest powergrab. A lfet-wing Democrat Senator is asking the EPA […]
He’s just the latest scapegoat for everything that goes wrong in ObamaLand. It’s never Obama’s fault. It’s Europe, earthquakes, tornadoes, that darned TEA Party, the Republicans who were apparently in charge of Congress since Obama was coronated, the fact that Obama doesn’t have power like China’s leaders, and, of course, George W. Bush. The front […]
I know, I know, you’re kinda shocked to learn that….. Washington (CNSNews.com) – Cecilia Munoz, the White House director of intergovernmental affairs, compared the federal crime of being in the country illegally to jaywalking. “If you were running the police department of any urban area in this country, you would spend more resources going after […]
Democrats incessantly tell everyone how much they care about education and then they turn right around and fight anything and everything that will actually improve education while inconveniencing their union allies. It almost defies belief, but in Arizona, the Obama administration is fighting to keep teachers with mediocre English skills in the classroom teaching students. […]
There’s a lot of controversy over a question asked to Ron Paul at the Tea Party debate and the response yelled by a handful of audience members. Here it is…. BLITZER: …A healthy 30-year-old young man has a good job, makes a good living, but decides, you know what? I’m not going to spend $200 […]
“That’s why I said of President Bush today, I mean, imagine being president, having that news (of 9/11) given to you and having to react and trying to compute all this and figure exactly where to go. I mean, and I thought the way he handled events from that moment until we took down the […]
Those of us lucky enough to still have jobs in the Obama economy work hard to create wealth. What percentage of it do we deserve to keep? Leftist congresscritter Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) gives her answer: “I’ll put it this way. You don’t deserve to keep all of it and it’s not a question of deserving […]
A Canadian judge has taken the next logical step in advancing abortion “rights” — legitimizing the murder of inconvenient children who are no longer in the womb. Katrina Effert was 19 on April 13, 2005, when she secretly gave birth in her parents’ home, strangled the baby boy with her underwear and threw the body […]
A new measure has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would ban school districts from automatically deducting union dues from teachers’ paychecks and handing that money over to unions. The practice of having state governments deducting dues automatically from state employees is quite common in northern and western states that are in […]
