Perhaps they could think about employing legal workers? The LA Times story starts out describing how a blackberry farm in Georgia need 100 more workers to help pick the blackberries, and it was Pedro Guerrero’s job to go find them. So, Dom Pedro, as he is known, reached out to all his contacts, leading to […]
Tyler Durden asks, “Are we and Bill Gross (and certainly not Morgan Stanley) the only ones to see a problem with this“? Just in time for the end of QE2, when the US needs every possible foreign buyer of US debt to step up to the plate, we get confirmation that yet another major foreign […]
David Brooks(!) belatedly discovers that a primary cause of the Great Recession was Fannie Mae. But the most devastating scandal in recent history involved dozens of the most respected members of the Washington establishment. Their behavior was not out of the ordinary by any means. For that reason, the Fannie Mae scandal is the most […]

A couple of weeks ago I finished my year of mourning for my late father. : So this is as good a moment as ever finally to commit to writing the post I had meant for so long to write — not an opus magnum about my dad, but an insight from a person who decided […]
I was talking to some liberal bloggers at the foot at the escalators on RightOnline, when things started getting a little exciting. First off, 20 women in hijabs walked upstairs. I noticed it, but had no clue who they were, what they were doing, or if they were part of some event. It turns out […]
Robert Reich and MoveOn.org made a video with numerous statistical fallacies. As a result, I made a video rebuttal. You can watch it below. Enjoy!
The story gets WAY more sickening beyond that headline (and the picture and video at the story link), folks: Japan scientist synthesizes meat from human feces It’s being called the “poop burger”. Japanese scientists have found a way to create artificial meat from sewage containing human feces. Somehow this feels like a Vonnegut plotline: population […]
While the Obama administration plays its games with “czars,” more “boards,” and “committees” to implement government accountability policies, Representative Darrell Issa (R, Calif.) has introduced some measures that would do a far better job to meet those goals. President Obama has touted a “Government Accountability and Transparency Board” (GATB) as well as the Recovery Accountability […]
We’re dooooooooooooooomed! Arizona is burning. Texas, too. New Mexico is next. If you need a grim reminder that an already arid West is burning up and blowing away, here it is. As I write this, more than 700 square miles of Arizona and more than 4,300 square miles of Texas have been swept by monster […]
That’s very nice of them. I’m not gay, but, I believe people deserve to be treated equally. But, notice which countries were against this The United Nations issued its first condemnation of discrimination against gays, lesbians and transgender people on Friday in a cautiously worded declaration hailed by supporters including the United States as a […]
From Psychology Today: “If a woman speaks to you in the extraordinarily rare whistle register (as per Minnie Riperton’s: Loving You, or as most recently associated with Mariah Carey), she is utterly in love with you!” Link via Gawker.
Cool little piece. 50th is North Dakota, where $1.3 million buys a 4 BR, 4 bath, 9400 sq. ft. ranch on 15 acres of land. #1 is California, where $150 million buys you a: big house–the Aaron and Candy Spelling house–on 4.7 acres of “rare, flat land in Holmby Hills”. UPDATE: the $150 million home has […]
With: video, natch. Also see “No, YOU’RE Ugly: The Best Moments In Trash Talking“.: Some excellent examples here; I’m partial to “The mailman doesn’t deliver on Sundays.” (Cross-posted from Newmark’s Door.)
There’s a price to be paid for the trendy green posturing of our sanctimonious moonbat rulers, in terms of not only money but jobs: The Detroit News’s dogged David Shepardson has unearthed a study by one of world’s most respected automotive research firms that reveals that President Obama’s radical CAFE mandate that vehicles average — […]
We let halfwit Hollyweird degenerates steer the course of our culture, so why not formally put them in charge of bringing up the next generation? We could make Gwyneth Paltrow Secretary of Education. She would be a smooth fit with other prominent figures in the federal education bureaucracy, considering opinions like this: Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, […]
“This We’ll Defend!” Joyeuex Anniversaire’! (#236 in fact!) to Great Satan’s all weather original voltiguerres – the Army! “…Two hundred and thirty-six years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our Nation. From the Revolutionary War to the current operations taking place around the world, our Soldiers remain Army Strong with a deep […]
Obama and his cohorts want to sell the American people a bill of goods. DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz is telling the country that Democrats “own” the “recovery.” Only one problem. There ain’t one. Don’t buy the lies, folks. Don’t do it.
If the Sun does go into a state similar to what caused the Maunder Minimum during the Little Ice Age, the Warmists have found their groove in a way to keep pushing their failed pseudo religion. Here’s Joe Romm’s version, which starts off with a bit of Fox News Derangement syndrome The anti-science disinformers are […]
You know things are bad when governments start selling things they “own.” The latest is the state of Illinois so over spent and in a budgetary hole that authorities are floating the idea of selling advertising space on its auto license plates. The Democrat led general assembly has given the Secretary of State’s office a […]
We had quite an interesting day yesterday. For a very long time now, everyone in my family has been putting all of our money into a certain bank. We just got word one of the officials at that bank resigned. A bank executive named “Weiner” who had lately become embroiled in a “sexting” scandal. The […]
Someone forgot to include the Prozac in her coffee cup again (CNSNews.com) — At a congressional hearing on Muslim radicalization in U.S. prisons, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said that investigators needed to analyze Christian militants in America because they too might try to “bring down the country.” In an exchange with witness Patrick Dunleavy, […]
Yes, RWN was down most of the day yesterday. After that, it came back with a basic word press theme instead of the regular theme. It has been a 5 star mess that I’ve been trying to handle from Minneapolis and it hasn’t been easy. Hopefully today, everything should go back to normal. My apologies […]
CHURCHVILLE, VA–This week’s headlines: Another huge, awful outbreak of food-borne bacteria. This time the worst, so far, in modern history; perhaps 2000 sickened, and about 20 dead. At least 500 cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome. That means liver damage–and potential death from kidney failure. More than 1000 cases of severe diarrhea. Usually it is the […]
The disease of unionization destroys every industry it infects, most dramatically including the American automotive sector and public education. But what would happen to the poor workers if there were no unions to look out for their interests by confiscating their money and giving it to Democrats? Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) demonstrates: In its […]
One of the perks of power is that it can help you grow your fortune. For example, take Nancy Pelosi: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress. Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the […]
The one thing I could never figure out is why so many liberals is how they are giving Obama a pass on everything that they hated and howled about with George Bush. Ryan Jones at Hip Hop Republican runs down the hypocrisy. The rapper Lupe Fiasco, recently set the normally Pro-Obama hip hop world on […]
“Palestine!? Wouldn’t I be crazy to want that?” To paraphrase the avuncular Britishy cat (‘ello luv) that seemed psychically on target nigh unto a decade past. Everybody knows about the Nakbah – essentially a land grab by Little Satan’s neighboring nation states that went horribly wrong – granting Little Satan even more real estate! Since […]
Presidential candidate Herman Cain (R) recently spoke with FOX Business Network’s (FBN) Neil Cavuto about the dispute between the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Boeing and its impact on the United States economy.
