Since Cut, Cap, & Balance can’t move through the Senate, we’ve been having a big fight to decide which plan that won’t fix our problems is going to become law. Here’s the compromise that has supposedly been decided upon, A White House official cautioned that no deal had been reached and that details floating out […]
I was searching for good pictures of ceilings, prepping this week’s Week in Automotivators post (coming tomorrow), when I found this: Wow I love that picture. The metaphors write themselves. For example: The two guys could represent Global Warmism Climate Changism, smoking the tobacco of belief no matter what the Surgeon General says on the […]
I know, I know, you’re saying “how could that possibly happen after two years of far left Keynesian economic policies?” The economic recovery faltered dramatically in the first half of the year, and that means more trouble ahead. The latest Commerce Department figures show that the nation’s economic output was gasping for breath long before […]
There’s an old saying: respect the office, if not the man. But, what if the man uses the office to make the presidency as much of a joke as he is himself? Anyhow, Obama has used his perch to complain like a 5 year old who isn’t allowed to have a cookie before doing his […]
It’s a tough list. Buckner booting the ball is only 12th.
But just wait. “Social Security Reform Bill Encourages Americans To Live Faster, Die Younger“. (By the Onion News Network. Short and funny.) Cross-posted from Newmark’s Door.
Article is from last year, but if you haven’t seen it, it’s a: beauty.
It will take more than a warm summer to keep the global warming hoax from continuing to crumble. Charles Monnett, the government bureaucrat/scientist who helped make polar bears the mascot of the envirocommunist movement, now finds himself on leave, having been accused of scientific misconduct. It’s unclear whether Monnett’s “integrity issues” have to do with […]
The heart bleeds over the religious persecution suffered by Muslims in America. Take Naser Jason Abdo, for example: The U.S. military serviceman arrested after raising concerns over another alleged plot to attack Fort Hood said he endured harassment, discrimination and intimidation due to his Muslim religious beliefs during basic training, he told FoxNews.com last year. […]
While most Americans were relaxing after work last night, all of us political junkies were on twitter, and had our eyes glued to the news. It was pretty interesting to read the real time tweets from the Capitol reporters on the debt ceiling bill presented by Speaker Boehner. The House was supposed to vote on […]
That’s the question that Powerline’s John Hinderaker asks, regarding the new report that NASA’s own data blows a gaping hole in global warming alarmism, a story I never got around to Thursday, due to time constraints from Real Life. John boils the whole thing down This could be the last nail in the coffin of […]
The actual headline reads “The tea party’s terrorist tactics“, which is interesting, when one considers that The Politico, like so many other leftist news outlets, refers to actual Islamist terrorists as militants and insurgents. And, having kept track of so many liberal blogs and forums for a long time, the Left generally thinks of Conservatives […]
Question: What are your thoughts about the FBI’s crackdown on 14 members of Anonymous? How is a socially motivated distributed denial of service attack ethically different from jamming a Congressman’s phone lines over a political issue? Does the Anonymous crackdown signify the beginning of the end of the Wild West era on these here internets? […]
Question: What do you expect the outcome of the Congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious to be? Will any prominent heads roll, or will some middle management types be forced to fall on their swords and the scandal be swept under the rug? — Good_Ol_Boy Answer: You’d go to jail for the rest of […]
Question: Why no stories on RWN about the News Corp./NOTW hacking scandal? — Vega – Sugar & Spice Answer: We live in a world where newspapers publish classified documents that compromise America’s security without consequence. Compared to that, phone hacking is small potatoes. Certainly, that doesn’t excuse it. I hope anyone involved is prosecuted to […]
Question: If you were tasked with creating a list of 5 books that would be required reading for all HS seniors in your school district, which books would you include and why? — Good_Ol_Boy Answer: This is a fun question. Difficult, too, but still fun. I’m going to assume that I have carte blanche here […]
Question: If Tim Pawlenty had the same record, personality, and policy platform, but was a hot latino female, would he be the frontrunner in The Republican Primary? — President Friedman Answer: Of course! Let me add, if Sarah Palin were a man, she wouldn’t be 1/10 as popular. If Barack Obama were white, he would […]
The reason Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged has struck such a chord since Obama got into office is because people can see so much of the book in Obama’s approach to governance. The open encouragement of envy, the demonization of success, the attacks on business….they all fit in with the book. Well now, we’re starting to […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Fairness Is An Arbitrary Concept
It’s nice to see the good in people. It’s nicer for you if the good you see is actually there. — Amy Alkon Part of the problem is today, only 53% pay any federal income tax at all; 47% pay nothing. We need to broaden the base so that everybody pays something, even if it’s […]
Today is Q&A Friday #108 at Right Wing News. So, if there’s a subject you’ve been wanting me to tackle or an issue you want to hear my opinion on, just ask your question in the comments section. Your question can be on just about anything: politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, movies, music, literature, or […]
You don’t need to be a math major to understand these devastating charts (slightly modified from the originals to depict the beginning of the “one-time, emergency Stimulus”): …next time Obama or his allies in the press go back to the well and recite the well-worn verse that spending is all the other guy’s fault, take […]
To paraphrase Ann Coulter, if you want to know what liberals are secretly scheming, just listen to what they accuse their opponents of doing. Let’s tune in to the next Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Watermouth Schultz: Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), chair of the Democratic National Committee, said Wednesday that House Republicans are trying to impose […]
John Boehner’s lame budget plan would only cut $91.7 billion per year (supposing anything really gets cut), which is like treating a slashed throat with a Band-Aid. But that’s plenty for a Big Government oligarchical collectivist like John McCain, who yet again seizes the opportunity to suck up to the liberal press by knifing conservatives […]
President Snippy Pants is doing what he does best: voting present, then giving speeches As House Republicans slog toward a Thursday vote on raising the debt ceiling, President Obama and his staff have hit the airwaves in a massive, all-hands-on-deck public-relations effort to turn the tide of political opinion in their favor. All told, the […]
And, because it annoys them, they have to attempt to ruin it for everyone else (just to be clear, not all atheists should be blamed, just the group American Atheists) An atheist group has filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent a cross made out of World Trade Center steel beams from going on display at […]

….“The reality, of course, is that we already have a centrist president – actually a moderate conservative president,” (And yes, he really wrote that), is there anybody and I mean anybody, who believes that Paul Krugman would be supporting him?
“That’s the real crisis — the unemployment, not the deficit. We don’t have a deficit problem right now. In the long term, we have a deficit problem — we’ve got to get it under control but not right now. — Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) Here’s a newspaper headline from a yellowing cutting I found up in […]
The government rationing medical services to save money? If you listen to liberals, it’ll NEVER happen. Yet in Britain, where the government runs health care, you can see what our future looks like if Obamacare isn’t repealed. Two-thirds of health trusts in England are rationing treatments for “non-urgent” conditions as part of the drive to […]
