Wisconsin Democrats To Offer A 100+ Amendments To Gum Up The Works

But the Donkey Weasel Party isn’t doing it for an substantive changes, oh no. They just want to delay the work of government Democrats plan to offer more than 100 amendments in the state Assembly to Gov. Scott Walker’s plan taking away nearly all collective bargaining rights for Wisconsin’s public workers. Democratic Minority Leader Peter […]

Regressives

Roger Simon, among others, has noted that the demonstrations in Madison demonstrate how old-fashioned the modern Left is, something that’s true despite the Left’s attempt to re-brand itself with the name “Progressive.” It therefore seemed appropriate for me to run again an article I wrote for American Thinker back in September 2007. My section on […]

Doctors Hand Out Fake Sick Notes

If any student brought a fraudulent sick note to school, they very likely would get into trouble. Yet, teachers who do the same thing find nothing wrong with the example they set for their students. I made a video about it below.

Michael Bloomberg Takes Nanny State Authoritarianism on the Road

New York City’s Mayor for Life Michael Bloomberg was not chastised when he shot himself in the foot with his Arizona gun show sting operation. Now he’s launched a totalitarian tour: No one can say that New York City mayor and anti-gun gadfly Michael Bloomberg doesn’t support getting Americans back to work — at least […]

Carbon Emissions

The know-how just isn’t there to generate electricity reliably and affordably using archaic windmill technology, no matter how much of our children’s money Comrade Obama pours into the pockets of his crony capitalist enablers at GE. They haven’t even come up with a lubricant that can keep the noisy bird-chopping monstrosities from bursting into flame: […]

No Truth In Left’s Wisconsin Union Support or Its State Budget Surplus Story

First came the disgrace of supposedly intelligent teachers in Wisconsin sporting hundreds of signs calling Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker “Hitler” and now comes the entire liberal blogosphere and it’s echo chamber in the left-media establishment claiming that Gov. Walker has “ginned up” a budget shortfall when he actually has a budget surplus. One wonders when […]

PBS Sends Belated Valentine to MoveOn.org

On February 18, our taxpayer-subsidized entertainers at PBS gave a little shoutout to one of their most stout supporters. On its Twitter feed on Friday, PBS heartily thanked the extremist left-wing activist group Moveon.org for its support in helping the broadcaster push for greater amounts of money from the pockets of the taxpayers and continue […]

Best Sentence CVIII

The one hundred and eighth award for Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL) goes to commenter “edwoof”, who says underneath “The Dangerous Lure of the Research-University Model” by Kevin Carey, via Professor Mondo: We have gone from the university-as-knowledge-provider model to the university as a seller of an educational experience and we are […]

Obviously, If You Love Gaia, You Must Stand Up For Planned Parenthood

Grist’s resident GINK (green inclinations, no kids) Lisa Hymas, makes the case that enviros, greens, climate morons should stand up for Planned Parenthood and abortion on demand A society is not sustainable if women don’t have basic control over their fertility. That’s just fundamental, a no-brainer. So the ongoing Republican assault war blitzkrieg on women’s […]

Viva La Middle Eastern Revolutions

The government of Egypt has already been toppled and now there’s turmoil in Libya, Iran, Morocco, Bahrain, Algeria, Yemen, and Jordan. Know what I say to that? Good! In fact, this is exactly what we were hoping Iraq would inspire across the Middle East. Here’s W way back in 2003, “Iraqi democracy will succeed, and […]

Projecting Your Insecurities About Your Skin Color Onto Celebrities

According Yasmin Alibhai-Brown at the Daily Mail, Beyonce is apparently some sort of whitey-wannabe race traitor who’s lightening her skin to the detriment of all dark skinned black women, Too many black and Asian children grow up understanding the sad truth that to have dark skin is to be somehow inferior. The young daughter of […]

Mark Levin puzzled by Ann Coulter’s bizarre endorsement of Chris Christie, who supports gun control, amnesty, Obamacare and climate legislation

Cub Reporter Biff Spackle was kind enough to transcribe the following soliloquy by radio host Mark Levin last Monday night. I want to politely address my dear friend — and she is my dear friend — Ann Coulter. We’ve had some email exchanges. What is your great love of Chris Christie based on? The man […]

The book Americans aren’t allowed to buy

Two years ago I expressed my own criticism, and later: rounded up a number of other views, of the case brought by J.D. Salinger against a “sequel” to The Catcher in the Rye written by Fredrik Colting. : Last year, in a guest post, Matthew David Brozik added his own thoughts on the topic — right on […]

Wisc. Union Thug: ‘First They Take Away Unions, Then They Take Away The Jews…’??? Unions Want Legalized Theft, Plain and Simple

-By Warner Todd Huston Every so-called teacher in Wisconsin needs to be removed from the classroom and should not be allowed to return until she can prove that she’s become educated enough to understand that no politician in Wisconsin is “just like Hitler.” These thugs latest claim is that “it’s not about the money” but […]

Let’s rebut some Lefty protest signs!

Just for fun: When Republicans win legal elections and then advance legislation by following all appropriate laws and rules, that’s tyranny. When Democrats subvert the system by ignoring a legal obligation to appear on the Senate floor and mobs take over the State Capitol in an attempt to intimidate the Legislature, that’s democracy. Got it. […]

More thoughts on Wisconsin

The average Wisconsin teacher has a better total compensation package than the average Wisconsin taxpayer. After the proposed legislation goes through, the average Wisconsin teacher will still have a better total compensation package than the average Wisconsin taxpayer. If this was 1789, events in Madison would be the equivalent of the French aristocrats taking to […]

Thousands of Tea Partiers still outnumbered in Madison

Couple crowd shots: Thanks to the lady who was standing on the concrete railing for that second one. On Thursday, a group called American Majority decided to counter-protest the mega-union-protests taking place daily in and around Wisconsin’s state capitol. Two days later, thousands of tea partiers showed up. Those thousands were still vastly outnumbered by […]
