This one’s a hoot: A Graphic Video Demonstration of Life After The Kunstlerian Decline of a World Dependent on Oil (and if someone could tell me what a “Kunstlerian Decline” actually is, that would be great, since the only occurrence of that phrase is linked to this same Treehugger story). Unfortunately, there is little to […]
Yes, I know, some of you do not like it when I call him things like Chump and Sparky, but, how can I resist when we are treated to weekly addresses like this? Over the last month, I’ve been traveling the country, talking to Americans about how we can out-educate, out-innovate, and out-build the rest […]
Proving that there seems to have been a good reason that in many eras of American history the “Irish Need Not Apply,” a bunch of drunken morons calling themselves the Dropkick Murphys have added their off key voices to American union thuggery by writing a protest song that the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has […]
Courtesy of the Republican National Committee… This is exactly right. While every state is drowning in debt, Barack Obama and the billions that unions have spent on him and his Democrat Party is being put toward thwarting the will of the voters and to making the state’s and the federal government’s debt far, far worse.
Leftist Unionistas can’t tell the difference between a “dictatorship” and the American electoral system. Sponsored by the NFIB The Voice of Small Business.
The skyrocketing price of oil will pull all other prices behind it, reducing the value of every dollar you’ve earned. Rising prices are a result of insufficient supply. In the case of oil, insufficient supply is a result of moonbattery: A new study says drilling on Alaska’s Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) could make Alaska the […]
Once again (see here and here and here) moonbats would like to exploit picturesquely squalid Haiti as a testing ground for concepts so insane, not even Democrats dare impose them closer to home. As Haiti marches onward towards reconstruction, Vincent Callebaut continues to pump out amazing concepts for utopian eco villages for Haitians. Inspired by […]
In 2008 Obama ran for president claiming that he wanted to make Washington more transparent than ever. Obama ran as the law-and-order man, he ran as the anti-lobbyist man, and he ran as the man for all the people, the great centrist that would finally work for the people. He ran saying that Bush was […]
Last week, the House of Representatives passed HR 1. This bill was the 2011 continuing appropriations act, the bill that makes provisions to fund the federal government. It also contained $61 billion in cuts. There were 21 different cost cutting measures in the bill. Sicne I am from Illinois (yes, I accept the condolences) I’ll […]
The word “chutzpah” came to mind after reading this: The Democratic National Committee wanted to honor Nancy Pelosi Thursday — but its praise wasn’t good enough for the House minority leader. When the DNC’s Resolutions Committee brought up a resolution commemorating Pelosi’s years as speaker of the House, Pelosi’s daughter sought to alter the proposal […]
Most Americans would really like to not be unemployed right now, but none more than Gulf drillers, who, following months upon months of bureaucracy are still sitting, twiddling their thumbs, not drilling anything, while the Obama Administration’s panel of experts decides whether their industry is safe enough. But just in case you were wondering whether […]
It appears that solar power isn’t quite at the stage where it can fight off the chills from globull warming induced cold. A funny story to start off your Friday Eco-campaigners who built a classroom powered by the sun believed they were paving the way for the future. Instead they have been taught a valuable […]
So far, I’ve personally stayed away from most discussion of the Koch Brothers, because it just enables the insane left to come up with more conspiracy theories, but, this one at the Democratic Underground by LynneSin takes the cake: Dear Koch Brothers: You have BILLIONS of dollars! Why keep the rest of us from having […]
Question: If we can pour billions of dollars into a whole host of things, why can’t we put the necessary resources into finding a cure for cancer once and for all? — D-Vega Answer: The success of the Apollo Project is rightly remembered as one of the greatest achievements of the United States. However, there […]
Question: Why don’t we bring the troops home from Germany and Japan etc? Is it really worth the hundreds of millions of dollars we have spent over the last 20 years? — Gayunemployedmexican Answer: It’s hard to say exactly how many overseas bases the United States has. According to Nicholas Kristof, who’s the closest thing […]
SNOW may fall at sea level in the San Francisco bay area !!!!
Question: I was wondering if you had any thoughts about what is being referred to as the ‘higher education bubble’? Any advice to younger people in light of such a bubble. — Martin Hale Answer: This is a complex question to answer. First off, yes, there is a “higher education bubble.” A college education in […]
Question: What shows are you currently DVRing? — Good Ol Boy Answer: Some of these are deep in reruns, but they’re still set to run on my DVR, so I’m going to list them. Incidentally, despite having all these shows listed, I watch less than 15 hours of TV a week on average and even […]

Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Democrats Are Planning To Shut The Government Down
Partisans tend to love very partisan-sounding politicians because such politicians give voice to their beliefs and feelings. And not very partisan sounding politicians are often derided as squishy. But at the end of the day it’s the guy who doesn’t sound partisan, but is unflinching on principle, who actually gets things done. — Ace Americans […]

Your question can be on just about anything: politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, movies, music, literature, or TV. […]
Wisconsin Democrats aren’t the only ones willing to throw a wrench into the gears of democracy to block the will of voters. Indiana has a similar problem: A majority of the Democratic members of the Indiana House of Representatives have temporarily moved to an Urbana hotel in an effort to prevent votes on bills they […]
Let’s hope God rewards Paul Fields for his integrity and courage, because the snivelingly politically correct bureaucratic establishment sure won’t. When asked to order police officers to serve as props for an Islamic propaganda charade, Fields responded with the bravest word in the language: No. The Tulsa Police Department is investigating a captain who refused […]
The lies that have been peddled by the unions in Wisconsin are legion. They are claiming that Walker has a budget surplus he’s hiding, he isn’t. They have been claiming that it “isn’t about the money,” but it is. They have even claimed to be “sick” by having real doctors issue falsified sick letters so […]
This situation in Wisconsin has brought out the truth about unions: they peddle hate. Unions are exactly what Democrats try to claim the Tea Party is, a hate-filled, uncivil, mob of name callers. Unionistas use hateful and violent rhetoric, they call everyone that opposes them Hitler and they lie about their ultimate goals. Many of […]
The headline at Grist is an attention grabber: Maybe no one cares about climate change because we’re wired for extinction. Yet, the article doesn’t really support that, as George Black goes on a tear that our brains are wired wrong In my unending (and thus far, I have to confess, largely fruitless) attempts to figure […]
We had dueling idiocy from both Parties, starting with this fool, who is a Republican An Indiana deputy attorney general “is no longer employed” by the state after Mother Jones magazine reported he tweeted that police should to use live ammunition against Wisconsin labor protesters, the attorney general’s office said Wednesday. The magazine reported Wednesday […]

In an appalling display of spinelessness, Mitch Daniels completely caved when Democrats in Indiana fled the state rather than vote on a union bill. So, how was Mitch Daniels rewarded by the Democrats for his bipartisan, moderate choice to reach across the aisle in the spirit of compromise? Did they all immediately head back to […]
