The Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus, who has noticed Obama’s lack of of leadership many times in the past, notices it yet again For a man who won office talking about change we can believe in, Barack Obama can be a strangely passive president. There are a startling number of occasions in which the president has […]
Simply priceless to watch: WI Democrat Gordon Hintz: have this meltdown on the Assembly floor.: Take away his: anger and you’d think he was talking about the Obamacare bill that was rammed down our throats this time last year.: But, I guess that was different—government takeover of one-sixth of the US economy, increasing health insurance premiums, and stripping […]
The current target of the Left’s “Two Minutes’ (of) Hate” are the Koch Brothers. It seems like there is a never ending stream of liberals demonizing them for…well, there’s never really a good excuse for it. That’s because the terrible crime that the Left hates them so much for is being rich guys who give […]
You’d be surprised at how much there is to admire about a dog. Just to name a few things…. 1) My dog is brave. Seriously. Just yesterday, we walked past 3 deer, all of which were at least quadruple his size. So what did he do? HE CHARGED. Then, after they ran, he left his […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Where was Barack Obama really born? Duh, in Hawaii.
Update:: Persian2English: March 2, 2011 “Iran executes at least 20 people in one day The world is “happily” focused on the “new” revolutions and uprisings in Northern Africa and the Middle East, and blissfully ignoring warnings that these are actually “veiled” actions by radical Islamists who are waiting their turn to take over these countries.: […]
This afternoon, I stumbled on this video of Wisconsin Union protesters singing “Do You Hear the People Sing” from the musical Les Miserables. Aside from making your ears bleed (this is a confusing song to ask a crowd of people to sing!), this seemed rather ironic. (If you want to hear a good recording of […]
Eco-nuttery environmental regulations in San Francisco are costing taxpayers millions of unnecessary expenses, yet nothing will be done to change the rules to reflect reality.
Now remind me again: Why have we been giving out $7500 tax credits to get people to buy hunks of automotive dog turd like the Chevy Volt? Oh, yeah, it’s because a bunch of eco-wackos and puffed up Democrats in Washington have decided that the future of cars in America is electric, so we’ve got […]
Sunday night at the Oscars, Natalie Portman was giving her acceptance speech for Best Actress when she thanked “my beautiful love, Benjamin Millepied who choreographed the film and has now given me the most important role of my life” – motherhood.: It was a beautiful moment, but this Salon writer, Mary Elizabeth Williams, found Portman’s […]
The left-wing Internet-based group calling itself “Anonymous” briefly took down the website of the conservative activist group Americans For Prosperity on Sunday, Feb. 27. Yet all the sturm und drang signifying… what? Me thinks that “Anonymous” is reading too many comic books. Amusingly, with the Denial of Service (DNS) attack “Anonymous” imagines themselves striking a […]
A lot has been said about the thuggish behavior of these teachers in Wisconsin and other union toughs across the country who have been caught on tape calling people Hitler and dictators, and attacking peaceful Tea Partiers. The behavior of union supporters has been ignorant to say the least. But as we’ve focused on the […]
The CBS drama The Good Wife, a politically charged soap-opera-like series, is coming under fire for naming its Sarah Palin-boosting character after America’s most infamous domestic terrorist, Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Matthew Vadum of the Washington-based Capital Research Center says that naming the character “McVeigh” conjures an unmistakable inference. “Calling a character ‘Kurt McVeigh’ […]
The TSA’s strip and grope molestation of air travelers is demeaning, immoral, and a violation of the 4th Amendment prohibition on “unreasonable searches and seizures.” There’s no way that simply showing up at airport can be considered “probable cause” for some slack jawed goon to view someone naked or run his hands all over his/her […]
Even though Barack Obama is a union puppet who moves whenever they pull his strings, after an initial statement, he’s tried to stay clear of the miasma of fleebaggers, violence, threats, and hostile rhetoric coming from the Left in Wisconsin. Not only is it embarrassing, what you have are union members fighting to continue bilking […]
* If Democrats are so concerned about shutting down the government, why have they just done it in Wisconsin and Indiana? * The Dems are now the “Party of No.” No to cutting spending. No to reducing gov’t. No to saving the American Dream. * I’m not so sure having Obamacare overturned by the SCOTUS […]
When it comes to the foreign terrorists detained at Club Gitmo, the moonbats of Berkeley spread their arms wide in sanctimonious welcome. But Goodwill stores that help Americans cause them to fold those scrawny arms across their sunken chests: Solano Avenue merchants are trying to stop the nonprofit giant from opening a thrift store in […]
When it comes to the fundamentals of civilized life — plumbing, for example — eco-moonbattery doesn’t come cheap: San Francisco’s big push for low-flow toilets has turned into a multimillion-dollar plumbing stink. Skimping on toilet water has resulted in more sludge backing up inside the sewer pipes, said Tyrone Jue, spokesman for the city Public […]
The Law Of Unintended Liberal Policy Consequences has once again struck with a vengeance Sweden, that sustainability superstar, really prides itself on being “green.” It is one of the few countries to decouple CO2 emissions from economic growth. It has switched a huge portion of its heating away from fossil fuels (district heating). It’s the […]
Liberals in Wisconsin have been insisting – insisting – that by donating just under $50,000 to Scott Walker’s campaign, the libertarian-leaning billionaire Koch brothers have somehow managed to put everyone on the right under their dastardly control. Obviously, whenever anyone on the left joins in a protest, even if their slogans are conveniently similar and […]
Over at the UK Telegraph, Niles Gardiner does the heavy lifting in showing just how weak Obama’s foreign policy is The débacle of Washington’s handling of the Libya issue is symbolic of a wider problem at the heart of the Obama administration’s foreign policy. The fact that it took ten days and at least a […]
We human beings tend to forget how far we’ve come as a species in a relatively short period of time. In the 1870’s, we had the first house that was lighted with electricity. Cars just started to become available 100 years ago. Charles Lindbergh made the first transatlantic flight in 1927. Televisions didn’t become widely […]

Rodney King got his 15 minutes of fame for (a) getting beaten up while resisting arrest; (b) having his name attached to some horrific riots; and (c) plaintively asking “Can we get along?” The last is a great thought. I’d like to get along with people better myself. “Getting along,” though, presupposes that people have […]
I was reading Rick Steves’ Italy 2011 (the 2010) version, when I was surprised to learn this little fact on page 21: Because Europeans are generally careful with energy use, you’ll find government-enforced limits on air-conditioning and heating. There’s a one-month period each spring and fall when neither is allowed. For those of us in […]
The Democrat’s “new tone” rolls ever onward… into the ditch. After the latest vote on the Budget Repair Bill last Friday, Democrat State Representative Gordon Hintz (54th District) turned to fellow Representative Michelle Litjens (R, 56th District) and said: “You are F***ing Dead!” Nice “new tone,” isn’t it? But it fits well with his pals […]
Apparently advertisers haven’t gotten the word that most of us have been fed to the teeth with the politically correct eco-craze. The greenwashing of every imaginable product continues. Now Planters wants us to associate eating peanuts with saving the polar bears from their imaginary plight: A new peanut-shaped NutMobile is the latest in the line […]
Due largely to absurd rules of engagement that tie their hands and a “Commander in Chief” who is uncomfortable with the concept of victory, our troops in Afghanistan have been left hanging in the wind. They aren’t allowed to win, but they can’t come home either, because admitting defeat before the 2012 election would make […]
No, seriously, and it gives him “That Iraq Feeling” I don’t watch cable news, or actually any kind of TV news. But I gather that there’s a virtual blackout on the huge demonstrations in Wisconsin, except on Fox, which portrays them as thuggish and violent. So, wait, wait, he doesn’t watch any TV news, yet, […]
You know the old saying, “stupid is as stupid does”? Enter the AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka, one of the most violence prone union presidents in America, who has come up with a brilliant strategy to solve America’s troubles. He says we need to raise taxes to pay his union members even higher salaries and we need […]
