Rand Paul Absolutely Lays It Down On The Budget Compromise!

Normally, I don’t post whole speeches, but Rand Paul’s speech on the budget compromise was so exceptional, so extraordinary, so on point, that it deserves to get much wider play (Emphasis mine). You know, it’s amazing to me to be lectured to and hear about how awful the Tea Party is and what the Tea […]

This Week In Quotes: April 8 – April 14

I’ll tell you another thing I never could have predicted: That the guy who bought himself a year’s worth of no-comment by deferring important questions to a commission, and then promptly ignored that commission’s recommendations, would then make a major announcement that he fully intends to appoint a new commission. — Ace Status quo and […]

Video Response to Obama’s Speech

I have admitted in the past when Obama gave a good speech. The speech after the murders in Arizona was one example. But, Obama’s speech from yesterday was clearly as bad as everyone said it was. Below, I reviewed a few of his statements in a short video. Enjoy!

Irony In Government: The GAO Can’t Audit Itself

The Government Accountability Office is basically charged with making sure that the government isn’t needlessly wasting a ton of money on things you and other taxpayers don’t care about. If you think that’s a deeply ironic and – above all – endless and useless task, you’d probably be right. If you’d question whether the government […]

Thursday Evening Open Thread: Ganja’s Illegal In Jamaica?

Like, dude, one to get you, like, you know, going Ten years ago, Jamaica’s government-appointed National Commission on Ganja produced a report calling for marijuana decriminalization, which the Jamaican government, under pressure from the US, promptly forgot about. But now, the government of Prime Minister Bruce Golding has announced that it will again review those […]

Tim Berners-Lee: Internet Access Is a Human Right

Now that we are endowed with our fundamental rights not by our Creator, but by the liberal ruling class, practically anything can qualify as a human right. Tim Berners-Lee found one right where you might expect: Two decades after creating the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee says humans have become so reliant on it that […]

Gulf Coast Looting Spree

How do you strike it rich in the Age of Obama? Not by working hard — that would just produce wealth to be confiscated. You need to be one of the confiscators — like the spillionaires on the Gulf Coast, where BP has had its arm twisted into “spreading the wealth around” to the tune […]

Old Media Gets Rolled on Hoax Story

The Associated Press was very excited to learn that General Electric was going to return its $3.2 billion tax refund to the U.S. Treasury because the company was so embarrassed that it got such a giant refund this year. Why, it was so selfless of GE to be that public minded, AP thought. Only one […]

San Francisco discovers free enterprise

San Francisco is definitely up in the top five when it comes to “most Progressively governed cities in America.” No surprise, then, that the city’s finances are in a shambles. What is a surprise is the fact that, faced with a looming budget collapse, the City has suddenly discovered capitalist incentives: it’s offering the big […]

Change: America Reaches A Historic New Employment Low

The more illegal aliens we have in this country, the less jobs we have for Americans. The more we punish people for success, the less jobs those successful people create. The more regulations we put in place, the more it strangles whole industries and they create less jobs as a result. The more tax dollars […]

Donald Trump For President? Seriously?

I greatly admire Ross Perot as a man. Did you know that he and his wife lived off of his salary and saved everything she made to fund his business? Did you know that when some of his employees were captured during the Iranian revolution and the government wasn’t doing anything to help, he hired […]

Pelosi’s Budget Cutting Compromise: Planned Parenthood-PBS Merger?

Not So Tickle Me Elmo This post originally appeared at NewsReal Blog. Secret documents uncovered by Fingersmalloy.com have unveiled a plot concocted by Representative Nancy Pelosi to, under the guise of a budget cutting measure, merge Planned Parenthood with the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). The purpose of this maneuver would not only be to secure […]

A Short, Obligatory Post On Obama’s Speech

Obama’s speech today wasn’t serious. He didn’t present a plan for deficit reduction today; he presented a plan to have a plan while attacking the people who do have a plan. In the end, it was more of the same old, same old. Raise taxes on the rich? Check. Demonize Republicans as wanting to starve […]

Yeah, I’m not thrilled about that J. Crew advertisement either

The big “conservatives are evil” exhibit of the moment is conservative protests over at Fox about a J. Crew advertisement in which a mom happily paints her five year old son’s toenails pink. I think it’s worth adding here that the boy clearly hasn’t had a haircut in a while. In other words, if the […]

Chicago School Accuses Parents of Poisoning Children

The nanny state in the people’s republic of Chicago rears its ugly head once again where a school principal has accused parents of trying to poison their own children with “unhealthy” bag lunches. And so, in her infinite wisdom, Principal Elsa Carmona had banned all lunches brought from home. I guess it’s just a coincidence […]

McCain Backs Crony Capitalist Coyote Boondoggle

So far there has been exactly one good thing about Barack Hussein Obama’s election: at least John McCain isn’t president. A tale of corrupt crony capitalism from his home state: Taxes provided $346 million of the $455 million cost of the huge (up to 72,200 seats) retractable-roof NFL stadium where the Arizona Cardinals will play […]

Anti-Homosexual Hate Crime at UNC Was Yet Another Hoax

University of North Carolina freshman Quinn Matney made the news with claims that he was called a bad name and even burned with a piece of hot metal for being a homosexual. Like most outlandish hate crimes attributed to the enemies of political correctness, his story is fake: A UNC-Chapel Hill freshman who told police […]

Inbreeding and sadism — on a vast scale

I have been reading and enjoying Leslie Carroll’s Royal Pains: A Rogues’ Gallery of Brats, Brutes, and Bad Seeds. Focusing on Eastern and Western Europe from the 12th century onwards, it’s a brisk walk through royal excesses. Having read about half the book now, I think that “bad seeds” is the operative phrase in the […]

Laughing At Arianna Huffington’s Hypocritical Misfortune

Welcome to the liberal plantation, slave. Your master will be Arianna Huffington. On the upside, if she cracks the whip, it’s because she’s kinkier than she lets on it public. On the other hand, the pay is still zero. That’s why one of her former freelancers is suing her for $105 million in a class […]

10 New Obama Campaign Posters

As you may know, Barack Obama is about to take another run at the presidency and those old campaign posters seem a little dated at this point. I mean, “Hope” and “Change?” Change would mean getting rid of Obama and “hope” is something you do when you imagine him losing the election. So obviously, he […]
