20) The Death Of Air America: For years, the Left has been insisting that liberal radio is popular, but is being held off the air by politically biased corporations. So, Air America was born in an orgy of spending and publicity that was every bit as glorious as the network’s slow, agonizing death in 2010 […]
Henry Kissinger on newly-released Nixon Library tapes: Jews in gas chambers in Soviet Union, “not an American concern”:
Actually, just a couple of dozen of ’em, but interesting nevertheless. At NYT, “Backing ‘Don’t Ask’ Repeal, With Reservations“: JACKSONVILLE, N.C. – Pfc. Daniel Carias, a Bronx native who is just weeks from graduating from Marine Corps infantry training at Camp Geiger near here, says he has known plenty of gay men since high school […]
You can’t blame Janet Napolitano for not lifting a finger to secure the undefended border with Mexico, even as it dissolves into violent chaos. She’s too busy with more ideologically appropriate threats — like veterans and the mythical global warming crisis: At an all-day White House conference on “environmental justice,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano […]
Have a hanky handy — this one is a tear-jerker. From Macon, Georgia: When Eugene Jenkins showed up at St. Paul AME Church at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, he didn’t know he would be one of the last people to get a ticket for assistance with his heating bill. He waited in line until 7 a.m., […]
The Old Media is up to its old tricks again, this time making the GOP the fall guy for the failure of the latest immigration bill. Nearly every news outlet is reporting that the Republicans have blocked the DREAM Act, many of these reports even say so right in the headline. The truth, however, is […]
The good news is, there are some jobs out there. The bad news is they are simply temporary/contractor positions Temporary workers are starting to look, well, not so temporary. Despite a surge this year in short-term hiring, many American businesses are still skittish about making those jobs permanent, raising concerns among workers and some labor […]
A poll conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org, a “project” run out of the University of Maryland, was the toast of the left-wingers last week for its finding that Fox News viewers were the most “misinformed” during the 2010 election cycle. Sadly, few of the news pieces on this poll mentioned that WorldPublicOpinion.org is funded in part by […]
And the hit parade of eco-nuts doing their best to ruin Christmas – well, really, they try and ruin every day – continues. First up If a group of Watsonville environmentalists have their way, the newspaper you read today will be under a Christmas tree next Saturday. No, they’re not asking you to give your […]
Liberals love to claim that the public school system is the shining success story of the American political system. And even when the schools break down in effectiveness, liberals double down on their support for them and insist that we spend ever larger chunks of the taxpayer’s money to “fix” them. Of course, even as […]
If you scratch off the surface of a liberal, you’ll usually find a Fascist underneath. These are people who believe in freedom and democracy as long as they think it favors them and the moment it doesn’t, they have few qualms about silencing their opposition via any means they can get away with. This is […]

Oily counter-culturalist WikiLeaker Julian Assange doesn’t see why his leaks of top-secret government reports and cables are such a big deal, but when two Swedish slut-honeys say that he’s lousy in bed, WELL NOW…….that’s an outrageous breach of his PRIVACY.: >snort<
The Obama Administration’s Official Alphabet Guide for Learning Government’s Role in Your Life Hi, I’m Omar, the Obama administration’s official kid’s ambassador. Today I’ll be guiding you through some of the many necessary regulations that government imposes on us for our protection — and we’ll learn the alphabet at the same time! A is for […]
That was a headline that ran in England’s Independent newspaper in 2000; this year, snow has been so heavy in England that it’s closed their major airports for long stretches. In early 2010, Time magazine, responding to resurgent snow in America’s capital would take the exact opposite stance: “DC Snowstorm: How Global Warming Makes Blizzards Worse.”
Is there nothing that global warming can’t do
It never fails that when the discussion of liberal media bias comes up, some sanctimonious and ill-informed lefty will try to convince the crowd of the exact opposite: That it’s conservatives whose voices are most often heard in the media. Now, you and I know this is as absolutely hilarious as it is absolutely false, […]
‘Tis the season for the usual politically correct attacks on Christmas. Ecumenical signs, disingenuously trimmed with Christmas holly and ornaments, urge a generic “Happy Holidays.” Bank inspectors, perhaps seeking an easier task than examining a bank’s books, remove crosses. Every December, Scrooge takes his steroids and is out in full force. You’d think, of course, […]
Was Private Bradley Manning’s “WikiLeaking” a Gay “Extortion” to Get DADT Repealed? ….and other DADT issues that will never go away
Just a few stories that caught my eye this week, whether I blogged them or not. Click the link under each picture if you need a little explanation. Link: Verum Serum. Link: The Sundries Shack. Link: Theo Spark. Link: Mister Pterodactyl. Link: TrogloPundit. Link: A Lego a Day, via Obi’s Sister. And two more that […]
I’ll be updating with reactions throughout the day: “BUMPED AND UPDATED! – Senate Repeals ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’.” And here’s Senator McCain: The full video is here.
Apparently, the defeat of the DREAM Act amnesty bill has left Obama’s policy in disarray. Really, what policy of his isn’t in disarray? The majority of Americans are against most of what he done/tried to do, as well as what he wants to do now. So many have said “this isn’t what we thought we […]
Hand-wringing over Chinese economic growth is both common and bipartisan. Commentators and politicians from the left and right alike find something fearsome in the rise of China as an economic force to be reckoned with. From Paul Krugman to Pat Buchanan, we are told to be concerned. Be very concerned. But these concerns are almost […]
The New York Times reported today on a study showing that the more one watchers Fox news, the less one knows: In particular, they found that regular viewers of the Fox News Channel, which tilts to the right in prime time, were significantly more likely to believe untruths about the Democratic health care overhaul, climate […]
Every summer for the past several years, we’ve gone to a local (and wonderful) Civil War reenactment. Without exception, the people who have chosen to reenact the Southern side will tell one, quite earnestly, that the Southern side was about states’ rights, not about slavery. Even 145 years after the war ended (or perhaps I […]
At NYT. I’ve been on record as favoring repeal for a long time, but that doesn’t mean I don’t find the military’s rationale compelling. See, “Against Gays in the Military.” And I haven’t seen this kind of reaction for a while, but see Bryan Fischer’s, “Benedict Arnold Republicans destroy military and our national security.” The […]
Scroll forward to 8:00 minutes for the discussion of the Bush tax cuts. Kimberley Strassel’s always on target, and the last segment talks about taking on the public sector unions in the states. Good stuff: Cross-posted from American Power.
A follow-up to yesterday’s report, “Holiday Terror Warning Cites Car Bombs and Small Arms Attack.” At Fox News, “U.S. Concerned About Terror Attacks During Holidays.” And be sure to click the video. Laura Ingle looks fabulous: Cross-posted from American Power.
It is pretty ironic that Michael Moore pays to bail out Julian Assange, only to learn that WikiLeaks documents would call into question “Sicko.” I made a quick video about it.
…the one from the University of Maryland. Mediaite is to be congratulated for putting up something that not only talks about the study but actually points to it. There is an abundance of spewing and intoning and condescending out there in blogger-land, in which people merely talk about the study around virtual mouthfuls of churlish […]
Which kind of implies that there’s a bad time to be rich. Which I doubt. Still. Ben Steverman writes: It’s a Great Time to Be Rich I’m sure he means that in a relative sense. Relative to the 1970s, for example. His opening paragraph: A bonanza of new and extended tax benefits could make it […]
