A Conservative Celebration in the Capitol

The city of Washington, D.C. is filled with much more Scrooges than those who are spiritual, and vague references to a “winter holiday” is the best that many can muster during the Christmas season. For those who are annoyed with the politically correct and meaningless philosophy of “Happy Holidays,” there is a new place to […]

As Japan Abandons Emissions Caps, Obama Rushes Headlong Toward It

Even as the Japanese have abandoned its national emissions trading scheme because they’ve realized how many jobs would be lost as a result of the draconian regulations involved, President Obama continues to claim that he wants to impose similar jobs-killing regulations on America. Japan initially announced that its national carbon trading scheme was to have […]

Happy New Year to your FSA and HSA from ObamaCare

While you were celebrating the new year ObamaCare made your Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts much less valuable.:  As of January 1st new restrictions on their use for over-the-counter medications, along with doubled penalties for paperwork screwups, will cause headaches for millions of Americans. And no, you can’t just buy an aspirin for […]

Snap! Obama Says To Hold Him Accountable In 2011

Well, not so much himself, but, a nebulous “us” should be held accountable. I wonder if that includes hitting him in the face with a pie? Well, if you hit Boehner with a pie, you probably won’t get charged. If you hit a Democrat, it might take 4 months to be charged with assault. Anyhow, […]

The Year in Wasteful Spending

BankruptingAmerica.org finished their “Year in Wasteful Spending” series today with entries #3 through #1. Links to the whole series: #1-3 #4-6 #7-9 #10-12 #13-15 My favorite is #5: Welfare isn’t what it used to be. $69 million of California’s welfare dollars were accessed through the state-issued debit cards outside of the state.

White 17th century Europeans weren’t just imperialistic racists, they were also…

…smokers! Jamestown unearths 400-year-old pipes for patrons RICHMOND, Va. — Archeologists at Jamestown have unearthed a trove of tobacco pipes personalized for a who’s who of early 17th century colonial and British elites, underscoring the importance of tobacco to North America’s first permanent English settlement. Naturally, the rabidly right-wing Associated Press ignores this evidence of […]

Planned Parenthood: Corrupting the Kids It Doesn’t Kill

The abortion mill Planned Parenthood is raking in taxpayer money to the tune of $363.2 million per year, but at least it’s performing useful services. In addition to killing inconvenient babies in numbers that would put Adolf Eichmann to shame, it’s launching a new initiative to counsel parents on how to encourage their children to […]

Wind-Powered Scotland Needs Electricity From Nuclear France

Things have reached a pretty pass when France has to rescue Britons from the mess their moonbattery has gotten them into. Scotland’s wind farms are unable to cope with the freezing weather conditions — grinding to a halt at a time when electricity demand is at a peak, forcing the country to rely on power […]

MTV’s Teen Abortion Sales Pitch: It’s Just “A Ball of Cells”

In July of this year, leftist Feminists were openly, and proudly, rooting for an abortion to be portrayed on prime-time television. And in April of this year, leftist Feminists like Jessica Valenti of Feministing were grossly bemoaning the fact that Mtv’s show, 16 and Pregnant, did not portray any teenage girls having abortions. They wanted […]

2010: The Entertainment Industry’s PC Year in Review

For the entertainment industry’s practitioners of political correctness, 2010 was another banner year. Even as conservatives have made deserved headway in La La Land and other areas of the industry, there still aren’t enough conservatives to bring much needed patriotism, logic, and common sense to the scene. Sadly, the industry is still filled with those […]

Guess Why Kansas State Lost The Pinstrip Bowl

This ones a doozy Coffman, who played brilliantly in his last college game, led the (Kansas State) Wildcats into Syracuse territory and connected with Hilburn near the sideline about 10 yards down field. After winning a footrace to the end zone, he dropped the ball, did a quick salute and turned to celebrate with his […]

Cult Of Globull Warming Plans To Go Back To Basics In 2011

Well, well, well, perhaps now we can finally get to the heart of the matter Hey America! Are you ready to get wonky on global warming? After a year that started with fallout from the “Climategate” e-mail release, saw the cap-and-trade bill die in Congress, and ended with a gang of Republican climate skeptics winning […]

Feminist Resistance

Just sharing something I found when writing my earlier post, “Sady Doyle Cheers Penis Amputation in Sweden!” Here’s a 1994 flashback from the New York Times, “Mrs. Bobbitt is Symbol of Feminist Resistance“: To the Editor: Like most of the American mass media, you have framed the Lorena L. Bobbitt affair as an issue of […]

Charitable Giving. Who Gives More?

If you have been reading me long, you know my favorite post to repost is the one where I quote Arthur C. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University, who published “Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism.” In this book/study, Brooks found that: — Although liberal families’ incomes average 6 percent higher than […]

Time Magazine Confirms: Liberal Media Has Jumped the Shark on Global Warming Hoax

It isn’t just the barking moonbat self-parodies at the snicker-inducing New York Times. The establishment liberal press has officially jumped the shark, rendering itself irrelevant to the world of adults with its desperate attempt to convince the cretinously gullible that the harsh winter weather we’ve been witnessing is caused by the chimerical global warming crisis. […]

Sustainable Kwanzaa

Although it’s hard to compete with Lenin’s Birthday/Earth Day, this is a festive time of year even for progressives, with possibly the ultimate moonbat event taking place today in Nashville: A “Sustainable Kwanzaa” event will be 5-11 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 30th at the Peabody Corner Food Court, 319 Peabody St., courtesy of the George W. […]

Stagehands Extort Hundreds of Thousands From Theater Goers

If there never was a story that explains how unions are really little else but a criminal extortion racket, the story by James Ahearn in the New Jersey Began Record helps explain it for us. Ahearn’s piece headlined “For Backstage Labor, Rich Rewards,” informs us that some stagehands in New York theater make upwards to […]

Foreclosures to Surge in 2011!

Hey, now that’s some change! At Daily Caller: Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, estimates that there will be 1.8 million foreclosed homes in the United States this year, and that the numbers will be even higher in 2011. Moody’s estimates that foreclosures should peak next year at 2.1 million, Zandi said. A spike […]

Newest Fad, Reducing Light Pollution, Gains Steam

We’ll start off with the question, is light actually “pollution”? Or is simply a result of living a modern lifestyle, so that people can go out after dark, instead of huddling and hiding in shacks against the predators of the night? Anyhow, once again, a good, sensible idea is taken to Stupid The push to […]

Shocking: Dave Weigel Doesn’t Get Sarah Palin

Like most leftists, former Washington Post blogger David Weigel just doesn’t get Sarah Palin. Weigel took a look at the year-end contributions from the Political Action Committees (PACs) sponsored by Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin and what he saw there baffled him. While Weigel thought he understood the “strategy” of Romney’s donations, he admitted that […]
