Irene Makes Second Landfall In Little Egg Inlet, NJ

And, yeah, this kind of straight news is important to me, since my parents live just to the north of Little Egg Inlet Hurricane Irene continues to barrel north Sunday leaving millions without power in what President Barack Obama said would be “a long 72 hours” for the East Coast. The storm picked up speed […]

“The Special Operations Forensic Tool Kit”

“The raid of Osama bin Laden’s compound yielded a treasure trove of intelligence material–computers, thumb drives and other media. Special operations forces routinely confiscate such material from raids as part of what’s known as “sensitive site exploitation.” In fact, teams are now equipped with state-of-the-art kits designed to collect any scrap of material and information […]

If you think a gold standard is the answer . . .

. . . I suggest you read this. It’s not. BUT TO invoke the wisdom of Herman Cain, returning to the gold standard would be more difficult than practical. Envisioning a statute requiring the Federal Reserve to redeem its notes for fixed amounts of specie is easy, but deciding what that fixed amount should be […]

The First Amendment, alive and well in Wisconsin

The story: The Teaching Assistants’ Association at the University of Wisconsin at Madison — the oldest TA union in the nation — voted not to recertify their own union. Last week, after hours of debate, the union’s members voted not to seek state certification to continue to act as a collective bargaining agent. The vote […]

Obama: The Kingpin of Broken Promises

Well, let’s get the ball rolling on another broken promise from The One, Barack Hussein Obama, shall we? I mean, every time we think we are done chronicling his broken promises we have to do a reset. He’s had so many gutter balls on this that it is hard to keep them straight. His record […]

Good News: State Department Protects Terrorist’s Privacy

And not just any terrorist While the New Mexico-born cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, is the first American on the CIA’s kill or capture list, the U.S. State Department refuses to release documents about al-Awlaki citing his right to privacy. This disconnect was uncovered as part of the ongoing investigation by Fox News’ Specials Unit into the […]

Price Gouging Helps People

With all the talk about supermarkets running out of supplies that people need because of Hurricane Irene, I think this is a good time to blame price gouging laws. I made a video about it below.

Think Progress: Globull Warming Made Irene Worse

Because before 1980 (or pick a year that the Climate Alarmists like to start with), there were no such things as hurricanes, or, at least, they were never more than tiny things that weren’t really powerful. Also, you just knew that some alarmist would go down this super-highway of stupidity, despite being 1075 days since […]

Learning curves, intelligence and Rick Perry

Although Obama’s grades are still a state secret, we know that the MSM is going to make hay of the fact that Rick Perry had a 2.22 GPA at Texas A&M. There’s no escaping the fact that he wasn’t much of an academic. I have a few thoughts on that subject. They start with a […]

Get Credit for Being a Pervert on Your College Application

Perverts with less than stellar grades no longer need to worry that they won’t receive special consideration when it comes to getting into college. Elmhurst College admissions applications now feature the following question: “Would you consider yourself to be a member of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) community?” What business is it of educrats? […]

Boot of Big Government Comes Down on Gibson Guitar

Who would have thought that when fascism came to America, it would be implemented by harmless-sounding agencies like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? In its latest crime against liberty, this malignant tentacle of Big Government wraps itself around the neck of an American icon: Federal agents swooped in on Gibson Guitar Wednesday, raiding factories […]

Kinky Really Didn’t Endorse Perry

The Daily Beast asked Kinky Friedman, who has run against Perry for Governor of Texas in the past, to write an article about Perry. They titled it “Kinky For Perry.” Everyone is saying this is an endorsement, but it’s not. This morning on a 740 am radio interview, Kinky said he never endorses anyone. He […]

Regime Changing

Perhaps the most charming charm Great Satan has exhibited (aside from angling her body diplopolitaire’ to create other angles) is the killer cool heap of trashed out despots, dicts and autocrats she’s tossed on the junk heap since the new millennium broke unto us. The guy with one eye (hot rumours whisper he’s a moped […]

Belief In Man-Caused Climate Change Hoax Continues To Dry Up

The more people know, the less they believe Residents in the top five greenhouse gas-emitting countries are no more aware of global warming or climate change than they were a few years ago. Majorities in all five countries Gallup surveyed in 2010 — except India — continue to say they know at least something about […]

Probable Islamist Attack Kills 10 At Nigerian UN Office

Now we await the typical attempts to equate this act of terrorism with some Christian doing some un-named something, or thinking about it, or something A huge explosion rocked the main United Nations building in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, on Friday, sending billows of smoke over the area and spreading panic among citizens. News agency […]

Prepped For Hurricane Irene

One of the downsides of living near the beach is that every so often, you get a little “weather.” At the moment, the “weather” in question is Hurricane Irene, which is bearing down on us as I speak. On the upside, it looks like Irene is going to come in to our East, so it […]

This Week In Quotes: August 19 – August 25

You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand – I’m not second-guessing – of one child per family. The result being that you’re in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable. — Joe Biden on China’s one child policy I’m […]

The narcissistic delusions of Leftists

Can I say that an entire political ideology is narcissistic? Because I’d really like to say that about Leftism, a political movement that sometimes seems like the textbook definition of narcissism. Although the DSM is a highly political book, it’s still the starting point for any diagnosis of narcissism: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of […]

No Victory Yet In Libya

I thought it strange that two days ago Pres. Obama spoke about Libya as if it was a done deal. Obama said, “The end of the Gadhafi regime in Libya is a victory for the Libyan people and for the broader cause of freedom in the Middle East and throughout the world.” A victory? Not […]

Feds Come Down on Father for Defending His Kids From Grizzly

A government as overbearing and depraved as our own does not have the consent of the governed. For example, Jeremy Hill of Porthill, Idaho stands charged in federal court of killing a grizzly bear to protect his children. His peers are hardly taking the government’s side. The most dangerous kind of grizzly — a mother […]

Obama Rips Off the Scabs

In Dreams From My Father, Barack Hussein Obama sprays spittle on the topic of how much he hates Caucasians, even suggesting that he wishes he could get the white blood out of his veins “by an act of violence.” Whether from ignorance, stupidity, or sheer self-loathing, Caucasians voted him into office anyway. Maybe he’s gotten […]

Mitt Romney Revises Climate Change Hoax View

Of course, the extreme left (which is most of them) will trot out their “anti-science” and “flat-earther” talking points: Mitt Romney tweaks climate stance Hours after being called “mushy on environmental issues” by a Republican senator (it was Jim Inhofe), Mitt Romney has tweaked his position on global warming. Asked Wednesday at a Lebanon, N.H., […]

Sino Mil Sec 2011 Report

It’s time! Red China – the world’s largest autocracy of the old school Collectivist type gets all Congressfied with an especial annual pdfing Congressional Report bout Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China. Ton of hot deets, cool maps, missile stuff:  – you name it – the Sino Mil Sec thang be […]

Obama: Promises, Promises

Over at Townhall, Greg Hengler ponies up a great video highlighting Obama’s promises, especially as related to jobs (via Hot Air) Well, I will give Obama this: he’s ready to sign off on a project that has climate morons protesting outside the White House (where Obama isn’t at the moment) and getting arrested over President […]
