Raise your hand if you’re married. Now wonder: what if there was no such thing as a marriage license? Would you still be married? The marriage license: that seemingly insignificant piece of paper you get from and give back to your local county clerk. An afterthought, really. Just a quick couple penstrokes between the ceremony […]

-By Warner Todd Huston Politico has a story up about Media Matters that shows just how illegitimate, how low down, how filled with vitriol and hate its efforts to push George Sorros’ left-wing agenda is. Media Matters, you see, has quietly revamped its operations to go from mere media criticism to outright enemy and saboteur […]
Nothing better for a Saturday morning than an unhinged leftist, except for an unhinged leftist climate moron Can you get much more low-down than Scott Walker and his cronies? It’s not enough that the Wisconsin governor stripped collective bargaining rights from unions in pretty much the slimiest way possible, or that important people who support […]
Well, well, well, for a change, Obama’s Weekly Address is on point, and he’s not using his bully pulpit to act as a partisan attack dog Last week, when I ordered our armed forces to help protect the Libyan people from the brutality of Moammar Qaddafi, I pledged to keep the American people fully informed. […]
I am here in sunny Houston, Texas attending the opening night of the True The Vote Summit and what a night it has been. We heard some inspiring speeches for this sold out event, saw some interesting attendees, and met an awful lot of great folks. It has been thrilling to see several hundred handpicked […]
Who would have ever thought that less than 10 years after 9/11, an American President would be using our military to help Al-Qaeda fighters gain power in another nation. Yet, that’s exactly what’s going on in Libya today, In an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, Mr al-Hasidi admitted that he had […]
Michigan’s union thugs have found a new way to hide their on-the-job union activism from the prying eyes of public transparency — or at least they think they have. Activist school teachers are using their state-sponsored email accounts to discuss their strike ideas, their union work slow down ideas and other illegal activities but are […]
As his last year in office winds down, Mayor Richard Daley is hailed as one of the country’s most successful big city mayors. Yet the 2010 census reveals that the city lost 200,000 citizens, the city’s budget is millions in the red, and businesses are abandoning the city with alarming frequency. How this equates to […]
One of the Left’s favorite tricks is to completely sidestep arguments that are made by attacking motivations. It works like so, Republican: There’s a hole in the side of the boat! We’ve got to fix it before we sink! Democrat: Yes, I agree, but you’re just saying that because you’re racist! Republican: Ok, so what […]
It was not in America’s national interest to bomb Libya and the only justification we’ve heard for it is that there are civilians in danger. So, that begs an obvious question: Are we going to bomb Syria now? Violence erupted around Syria on Friday as troops opened fire on protesters in several cities and pro- […]
When the Tea Partiers were protesting the health care bill, instead of taking their normal route, Democrats walked through the crowd taking video of the reaction. What they were obviously hoping for was that someone would use a racial slur or assault them or do SOMETHING that they could use to smear the Tea Party. […]
Thankfully our leaders have clarified what they are up to in Libya. It isn’t a third simultaneous war, launched on behalf of people who are probably our enemies at a time when the economy is already staggering from excessive government spending. It’s a “kinetic military action“: In the last few days, Obama administration officials have […]
It’s not enough to waste our money. Our liberal rulers feel compelled to waste it in the most destructive way possible. They may never top this — funneling our money through the odious United Nations to help terror states including Iran and Syria develop nuclear weapons with which to kill us: The United States is […]
Oklahoma’s NewsOK reports on a pro-union ad in Oklahoma that has generated controversy (via Jim Hoft): A state senator today blasted a firefighter union television advertisement as “horrific and tasteless” for using images of the Oklahoma City bombing to make a case against his bill. The advertisement by the International Association of Firefighters began airing […]
The Texas House voted 101-48 late Wednesday for a bill requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls. It’s about dang time. There should be NO controversy with this bill. It’s absurd that it’s taken this long. We have to show our ID to get on a plane or buy a beer. There is […]
This should be good news to people who plan on spending $32,000 (before the federal tax credit). The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article up about the situation (via The Hockey Schtick) Pull the Plug on Electric Car Subsides [paywalled] Consumer Reports doesn’t have good early reviews for Chevrolet’s flagship entry into electric vehicles. […]
This comes on the heals of President Clinton giving a brief press conference on the supposed transfer of power to someone within NATO As the White House works to assuage congressional anger over U.S. entry into armed conflict in Libya, four top national security officials will give a classified briefing to lawmakers on the war […]
The United States does not have a king’s army. President Obama’s unilateral choice to use U.S. military force in Libya is an affront to our Constitution. — Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) When a woman got raped, blame her because she was wearing a skirt too short, she looked the wrong way or she wasn’t home […]
The Obama Administration has proclaimed TARP and the subsequent bailout for General Motors a great success. US Treasury Deputy Timothy Massad recently said, “Where we are today shows that the program, by any reasonably objective measure, was a success.” But is GM, now much derided as “Government Motors” the success that Obama says it is? […]
On Friday night, the abhorrent idjit known as Bill Maher used a crass and offensive slur about Sarah Palin. It is one that I will not repeat here, but suffice it to say it is a favorite misogynistic epithet of the lofty, oh-so-enlightened leftist set. I’ve been called it many times in hate emails and even on […]
The US Constitution protects our freedom by affirming natural rights. This is why our liberal rulers reject its authority in favor of the United Nations, which attacks our freedom by inventing unnatural rights that are not rights at all but arbitrary dictates and special privileges handed down from on high. One example is the use […]
How nice of the government to thoughtfully confiscate our hard-earned money and use it to buy us subpar healthcare under Medicare. But what if some people would prefer to write off the loot expropriated, and pay again for superior private care? Under rule by liberals, they are out of luck: [T]he idea of patient choice […]
True fact: Some of the greatest minds in the world including Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, and Guglielmo Marconi believed that there was a civilization on Mars that was trying to communicate with us. Fast forward to the current day and blithering idiots like Hugo Chavez are telling people Mars had a civilization that was destroyed […]
I still can’t get used to the idea of a presidential election campaign in one year, running through its various stages in earlier years. The campaign of 2012 has been going on since the first time our current President’s approval rating hit its history-making down-slide, sometime during the spring of ’09. Perhaps persons like myself […]
Now that Tim Pawlenty has announced that he has formed a presidential exploratory committee, it is time to start looking at his conservative credentials. Overall, he would appear to be a great candidate. But, there is one problem I see A video created by a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota captures Tim Pawlenty, the former […]
Kinda hard to believe that people at the Politico are being somewhat critical of Obama, as the news outlet has typically been one of his best cheerleaders, but, there you have it, though it is a bit more of the “tut-tut” type criticism, along with an attempt to explain what’s inside Obama’s head, since Obama […]
The slant of the this Wall Street Journal article is the trade off between the cost savings of replacing retiring public employees with cheaper hirees and the difficulties that may be caused by losing talented people. Obviously, this is a bit of a false dilemma in that if these people were all that talented and […]
The most disturbing passage in “Physics of the Future” doesn’t concern the future; it’s about the present. In that passage, Mr. Kaku recounts a lunchtime conversation with physicist Freeman Dyson at Princeton. Mr. Dyson described growing up in the late days of the British Empire and seeing that most of his smartest classmates were not—as […]
