What Say To $50 Light Bulbs?

I’d dearly like to blame this mess mostly or solely on Democrats, alas, President Bush signed the legislation which was sponsored by Fred Upton (R-Mi), who now sits as chairman of House Energy and Commerce committee. But, it is supposedly for Gaia’s sake, or, more aptly, because the Federal congress has dearly lost their way, […]

The Peace Corps at 50: What’s a Little Rape, Murder, and Brutalization of Women Between Friends?

That great lefty favorite, the Peace Corps, just had a 50th birthday! You can tell, because it’s demanding presents. The Lefties who totally love conscience-salving stints in third world countries rejoiced and then swiftly returned to their soy lattes and organic arugula. Senator Harry Reid issued a: breathless, sycophantic statement in which he, being Harry Reid, […]

Newt Gingrich Endorses Socialized Medicine

Anyone who would snuggle on a couch with Nancy Pelosi to promote the global warming hoax is either a moron or an authoritarian statist. Newt Gingrich confirms that he is the latter: Newt Gingrich’s appearance on “Meet the Press” [yesterday] could leave some wondering which party’s nomination he is running for. The former speaker had […]

Democrats Disguising Real Reasons for High Gas Prices

It is déjà vu this year with gasoline prices, which are currently hovering around a high of $4 a gallon. Every couple of years or so the price of gasoline hikes up and politicians with elections looming scramble to explain why, proposing how to bring them back down. High gasoline prices are a problematic issue […]

Indiana Supreme Court Eviscerates U.S. Constitution

Indiana’s highest court has turned against our rights and the Constitution of the United States. The Supreme Court of Indiana has just decided that the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution does not apply to the citizens of Indiana. The court has decided that Hoosiers have no right to be safe in their own homes […]

Democrats Against Our Intelligence Community

Representatives Dennis Kucinich (D, Ohio), Barbara Lee (D, Calif.), Pete Stark (D, Calif.) and Lynn Woolsey (D, Calif.) Democrats all, do not seem to like our intel folks, especially those brave men that helped take out Osama bin Ladden — at President Obama’s orders, I’ll remind you. Late last week the House of Representatives overwhelmingly […]

Awwww…..Obama Short On Campaign Buddies

At least for the moment, the rats have decided not to board the Hopey Ship Unicorn: President Obama short on campaign surrogates Candidate Barack Obama had no better buddy on the 2008 primary trail than Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, who was feared – and a little hated – by Hillary Clinton’s campaign for being Obama’s […]

Answering The Question: Why Do One-In-Five American Voters Now Believe Osama Bin Laden Is Still Alive?

Over at the LA Times, Andrew Malcolm asks, “Why do one-in-five American voters now believe Osama bin Laden is still alive?“ This incredulity phenomenon is a curious creation of a high-speed global media so full of unverified and unverifiable information floating about, combined with a modern cynicism about political leaders masquerading as voter wisdom. After […]

The Global Warming Gravy Train

It almost seems unfair to lay a kick into the side of the global warming alarmists when they’re down, but this column from David Evans, formerly of the Australian Greenhouse Office, is full of way too much sweet, juicy truth to ignore. I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy train, understands the […]

An Eye-For-An-Eye In Iran: Seems Fair Enough To Me

The Constitution forbids us from engaging in “cruel and unusual punishment;” so we certainly aren’t allowed to follow Iran’s lead here. However, don’t look for any high-minded rants from me about how “uncivilized” Iran is supposedly being here. The procedure was planned for Tehran at midday on Saturday in the presence of Ameneh Bahrami, the […]

The Best Quotes From “Diary Of A Hedge Fund Manager”

I just finished up Diary of a Hedge Fund Manager: From the Top, to the Bottom, and Back Again. It was an outstanding book, not only because it taught me a lot about how hedge funds work, but because it was well written and very motivational. Unfortunately, the hedge fund business pays a higher multiple […]

Social Security deficits now ‘permanent’

Just thought you’d like to know: Social Security will run a permanent yearly deficit when looking at the program’s tax revenues compared to what it must pay out in benefits, the program’s trustees said Friday… But never fear! The trustees stressed that exhaustion of the trust funds doesn’t mean the programs will stop paying all […]

Two More Stories on Stupid Liberal Schools

PCism is for idiots. It really is just that simple. It’s bad enough when you find it in the private sector with silliness such as sensitivity training. But at least there, adults can just ignore the stupidity and carry on. When it comes to PC indoctrination of our impressionable kids, well that is another matter […]

Is Obama Actually Going To Run On The GM Bailout?

The Politico explores how Team Obama is grasping for any sort of positive news to campaign on for 2012. OK, they don’t say “grasping,” but, when even The Politico can’t cheer-lead, it might not be the best campaign idea President Barack Obama and his allies in two big industrial unions appear poised to make the […]

What Democrats Believe

Democrats believe that you are legally permitted to break into an empty home if you need a place to stay. Democrats believe that stealing furniture from someone’s home — if it’s in the best interest of your family — is a legally acceptable practice. Democrats believe that you are within your rights to crash a […]

Entrance Ramp

It’s likely to be an interesting election year. I daresay, we’ve never had anyone in the White House as charismatic as Barack Obama. We’ve never had an incumbent with a base so intensely dedicated. We’ve never had a base display such an intensity of dedication without being able to explain why. On the other hand, […]
