If A Liberal And A Tea Partier Had Been Aboard The Titanic
Tea Partier: Alert the captain! There’s a huge iceberg up ahead and we’re headed straight for it! If we don’t turn the ship aside now, we’re doomed! Liberal: Well, that’s not a very popular message. I mean, turning the ship aside would require interrupting the shuffleboard tournament. Tea Partier: The whole ship is going to […]

Dennis Kucinich Bites Into the Jackpot
We haven’t heard from the former Boy Mayor of the Mistake by the Lake for awhile. Did his alien friends fly him away to a more progressive world? No such luck. He’s in the District of Criminals, doing what Democrats do best: sanctimoniously looting. The vegan elf found an unpitted olive in his sandwich at […]

ObamaRail
As Comrade Obama revealed in his State of the Union address, he has found a solution to the Sword of Damocles that hangs over us in the form of massive government debt: pour still more money into 19th century technology to placate environmental extremists. It takes more than windmills to bankrupt a great nation; only […]

Media Attempt To Marginalize Michelle Bachmann Gets Into Swing
One question surrounding Michelle Bachmann is “will she or won’t she run for president in 2012?” (I’m hoping she will) Another is “how much influence will she have on the GOP politics of the next two years, keeping the GOP on the road they were elected to follow?” Obviously, both questions are worrisome to the […]

Unions Realizing They Have Bad Reputation, Launch PR Campaign
So, what is the first thing that you do when you find out that everyone hates you? What do you do when you finally come to terms with the fact that you have the worst reputation possible? Do you sit yourself down and reassess your actions to try and pinpoint why everyone thinks you are […]

The American People’s Attitude Towards Spending Is A Lot Like A Fat Guy’s Attitude About Dieting. Take It From Me, I Know.
In the last year, I’ve lost over 80 pounds. I still have some weight left to lose and should be finished up later this year, but believe it or not, looking at these poll numbers on spending from Gallup reminds me of the mentality I had before I started losing weight, So, the American people […]

“What’s Your General Opinion On The Tea Party Movement?”
That was the question a political operative asked me last night. The short, general answer would be, “The Tea Party movement is very good for the country and the Republican Party.” Of course, if you get into the details, it’s more complicated than that. First off, the Tea Party movement deserves a lot of credit […]

George Monbiot’s Predicted Global Famine No More Evident Than Global Warming
Eco-totalitarians have exactly one constructive use — they provide laughs with their shrill predictions of doom. Here‘s What George Monbiot was shrieking into the receptive ears of Britain’s liberal elitists in 2002: Within as little as 10 years, the world will be faced with a choice: arable farming either continues to feed the world’s animals […]

Moonbat Entertainment: The Last Supper
While moonbats exploit the apolitical Tucson shootings to make pious calls for ascendant conservatives to water down their rhetoric, a play called The Last Supper gives an idea of what can be expected in return: Five lefty graduate students in Iowa City gather for weekly dinners to revel in their shared (and sometimes smug) world […]

VIDEO: Progressives Slobber Over Obama’s SOTU Address
Look, I only watched parts of it, but I’m agreeing with Jennifer Rubin: “The president “phoned it in.” Here’s the full video clip: “State of the Union, 2011.” A bare majority at CNN’s poll (52 percent) report a positive reaction to the address, and a third said “they had a somewhat positive response and 15 […]

Jaw, Jaw and Bromides: Obama’s State of His Next Campaign for President Address
I sat through President Obama’s 2011 State of the Union Address last night. During the event I live Tweeted the whole thing (You can read that all at http://twitter.com/#!/warnerthuston) and ended up with an empty feeling and a headache.

Two State of the Union Speeches Later…
…the Venn diagram still applies. But my reaction to the whole parade of silliness is gradually morphing. Up until now, I have been nauseated by the spectacle of presidents — from either party — who do one thing, for a whole year, and then when the time comes to get up behind that big ol’ […]

Global Warmings Means Skiing In Yorkshire
And here we go with the whole “greenhouse gases which trap reflected sunlight and cause the Earth to warm will make it frickin’ cold and snowy” idiocy again Climate change means we will be skiing in Yorkshire rather than sunbathing under palm trees, experts warn (all two of them) We are more likely to be […]

Here’s my reaction to Obama’s State of the Union speech followed by some other notable reactions from the Right, Speech Grade: Obama gets a C.

China Disses Obama In Song
Here in the United States, we’re used to artists doing flaky things. Whether they’re wearing an outfit made out of meat, having a “wardrobe malfunction” at the Super Bowl, or making outrageously stupid statements about politics, we just accept it. It’s musicians being musicians. However, it’s not exactly the same in China — especially when […]

I Sure Hope Keith Olbermann Doesn’t Run For Senator In Connecticut!
The GOP is at a big disadvantage in Connecticut. In all honesty, we had very little chance of defeating Joe Lieberman in 2012. But, believe it or not, things MAY — well, who am I kidding — things have DEFINITELY gotten worse for us. The Left may have found THE PERFECT WEAPON. A man who […]
