Hated by Haters

“Like the professoriate, publishers have become especially cautious, some might say cowardly or sadly, realistic. They do not want an Islamist bomb thrown through their windows, they do not want to absorb the cost of security for an author against whom a fatwa has been issued, nor do they want to pay to defend themselves […]

Global Warming Brings Lots Of Snow To Raleigh And East Coast

Good morning! How was everyone’s Christmas? I was going to attempt to write something pithy and poignant, but, just too tired, even though I just woke up. I drove to New Jersey the night of the 23rd to see the parent for Christmas, and, because of the potential weather, drove back yesterday after an early […]

Global Warming Update: Blizzard Edition

Chattanooga gets its first White Christmas in more than 40 years: We don’t get a lot of snow where I live, but today we’re getting blanketed. The last time we had a white Christmas (with any accumulation) was in 1969. That was several years before I was born. So naturally, that got me thinking about […]

Richard Dawkins Slams Pope, Christianity on Christmas Eve

At least The Guardian titled the essay for what it is, “A Shameful Thought for the Day.” Dawkins slams the Vatican’s “obscene indulgences” and then goes after original sin, a foundation of Christian faith: We’ve already had what little apology we are going to get (none in most cases) for the raped children, the Aids-sufferers […]

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus

Every Christmas, after the presents are opened and breakfast is being made, I read this first in the paper (ye olde parental units get the paper, and they live in NJ). It is a Christmas classic that has always touched my soul. While some people outside of the Tri-State area have heard of it, rarely […]

Christmas Eve Response to #MooreandMe Organizer Sady Doyle

Blogging was light today. Mostly I had scheduled a photo-blog of some storm and rainbow photos from the O.C. And I doubt Christmas Eve is really the best time for high-octane “offend-a-feminist” blogging. But as I’ve been doing whack-a-mole with some of these angry Assange-haters all week, I thought I’d respond to Sady Doyle’s extremely […]

Jewish Gitmo Witches Sic Horny Phantom Cats on Terrorists

Despite the pampering most terrorists receive at Guantanamo Bay, some really have been tortured, just as the moonbat–Muslim alliance alleges. The evidence came to light in an Al-Jazeera interview with former Gitmo vacationer Walid Muhammad Hajj. He reveals that there are Jews on the staff at Club Gitmo, and they’ve used witchcraft to cast spells […]

Obama’s Mouthpiece? ABC’s Cokie Roberts Says Voters Will Make Republicans Compromise in 2011??

ABC News talking head Cokie Roberts was shilling for the Obama administration once again on Good Morning America during an interview with former Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos. She wasn’t just shilling for Obama but tying to mold the news and public opinion to her left-wing druthers instead of giving an honest review of today’s political […]

Obama Uses EPA to Seize Control of Energy Sector

Dems were able to ram Cap & Tax through the House, but this debacle will never make it through the Senate, now that such a large number of people are aware that the government and media have been lying, and that global warming — or “climate change” as the lack of warming has forced moonbats […]

CFLs: Why Do Climate Alarmists Hate Women And Children?

It’s been mentioned many times before, the dangers of mercury in compact fluorescent light bulbs.

This Week In Quotes: Dec 17 – Dec 23

Merry Christmas from Jerry Brown! More “Green” and Tech Jobs Leave California

Obviously “encouraged” by all of the incoming governor’s dire warnings about tax increases and budget cuts, more “green jobs” are running for:  the border. Here ‘s the headline in the San Jose Mercury News. “Nordic Windpower leaving California”:  (OH, the irony, it’s a company based in Berserkley, the “mecca” for the enviro-mental faithful.) Nordic Windpower, […]

Batman’s Politically Correct European Vacation

Reality isn’t always very fun, granted. Because of that many people turn to comic books for a little escapism. But there’s escapism and PC indoctrination. Sadly, it appears that DC Comic’s Batman is angling for the latter and not the former. You see, Batman has decided to hire a Muslim to “save France.” First the […]

Why Our Government Backed Communist Coup Against Democratic Ally

Manuel Zelaya, a corrupt thug with close ties to organized crime, tried to seize totalitarian control of our ally Honduras, with the apparent goal of reducing it to a communist police state in the orbit of Cuba and Venezuela. Appallingly, despite America’s long history of supporting freedom, Zelaya’s fellow leftists in our government backed him […]

Child Hauled Off to Prison for Using Magic Marker in Class

When will miscreants learn that unless you’re an illegal alien, crime doesn’t pay? A 13-year-old boy was arrested Friday for using a permanent marker while in class at his Oklahoma City middle school, a violation of an obscure city ordinance. According to an Oklahoma City Police Department report, the boy was spotted “in possession of […]

‘Tis The Season

Night before last my neighbors and I got together and made 200 sandwiches for a soup kitchen. Although I have decorated, cooked, gone to see Christmas plays, strung lights outside, gone to Christmas parties, and wrapped dozens of presents, making those sandwiches was probably the most Christmas thing I will do. We love the Christmas […]

Anarchist Bomb Blasts at Swiss and Chilean Embassies in Rome

At Telegraph UK, “‘Anarchists’ launch bomb attacks on two Rome embassies.” (At Memeorandum.) The Rome prosecutor’s office has opened a terrorism inquiry. It’s thought that the blasts have roots in the “eco-terrorism movement.” Also at NYT, “Parcel Bomb Attacks Strike at Embassies in Rome.” And Rome has been rocked by weeks-long student protests. The anarcho-terrorists […]
