It’s a new year, a new decade, so, on day one, Nicholas Kristof is already whining about monetary inequality. He is more than welcome to give up the majority of his cushy salary, along with the rest of the overpaid hacks at the NY Times Equality, a True Soul Food John Steinbeck observed that “a […]
Time for a follow-up to my Midwestern “scoop” that I picked up while spending holidays with family in the fly-over country bunker. It is WAY past time for the mainstream media to make sure the police do their job in behalf of one very dead: beautiful woman and her son who now has no mother.
Three words: Carol Moseley Braun! Danny K. Davis, a longtime United States representative, has dropped out of the race to become Chicago’s mayor, creating the situation that black leaders here had for months been clamoring for: a campaign that includes only one major African-American candidate. Carol Moseley Braun, a former senator, became that candidate this […]
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 […]
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 […]
Well, it’s no wonder that leftists in America — you know, those folks that pretend to be Americans — have such a problem understanding the Constitution. It’s hard for them, you see, because… well… it’s old. This stark revelation was disgorged from the mouth of famed lefty blogger, and TV Wunderkind Ezra Klein of the […]
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 […]
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, […]
Happy New Year’s! Welcome to 2011, and a new decade. And one year closer to End Of Life As We Know it. 2150 and 2200 are fast approaching, the primary dates that the climate alarmists always want to use to denote when Earth is going to burn, baby, burn in fire, dan dan daaaan, fire, […]
My friend George Scoville, who works for the CATO Institute, asked a question that really does go to show the left’s hypocrisy. This time the question reveals a “feature” of Obamacare that tends to expose hypocrisy so large that an ambulance could drive through it. (See how I said “ambulance” there to keep with the […]
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. Where was the […]
…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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Does anyone on the left understand right and wrong? Do any of them understand that some things humans do are morally reprehensible or is everything relative? If we could find one that understands it, it certainly won’t be Colman McCarthy. We can say this because this week the former Washington Post columnist and current director […]
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 […]
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 […]
Newborn Baby and 75-year old woman die due to long waits Union slow-down blamed for failure to remove snow
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 […]
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 […]
It was dangerous. Now it isn’t. Thanks, science, for clearing that up. Saccharin was first listed as a hazardous waste in 1980 after studies in rats showed the sweetener caused higher rates of bladder cancer. The EPA subsequently determined it to be a “potential human carcinogen”. Yet two decades later, the National Toxicology Program and […]
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. […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Did I mention that the bumper sticker appears to be bloody? A top state Republican is taking offense at a Democratic bumper sticker that he claims shows a train slamming into Governor-elect Scott Walker’s head in a bloody crash. The bumper sticker is available on the Wisconsin Democratic Party’s Web site. It depicts a train […]
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 […]
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 […]
