New York’s 1st District, encompassing eastern Long Island, remains the nation’s last undecided congressional race of 2010. Supporters of Republican challenger Randy Altschuler contend that incumbent Democrat Rep. Tim Bishop was the beneficiary of illegal votes: Absentee ballot counting ground to a halt at 11 a.m. Friday in the only still-undecided congressional race in the […]
Why do you suppose Comrade Obama waited until after the midterms to fill a vacancy at the top of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives? So he wouldn’t inflict too much damage on his party by nominating an anti-Second Amendment zealot like Andrew Traver: As special agent in charge of Chicago’s ATF field […]

The Hill offers up some potentially good news The DREAM Act – a priority of Democrats in both Congress and the White House – faces a difficult future in the lame duck. Even as Democrats in both chambers prepare to consider the measure this week, Republicans and centrist Democrats are already lining up to shoot […]
My favorite news shows to watch on Sunday are CNN’s Candy Crowley’s State of The Union, and Fareed Zakaria’s GPS. I watch Candy because she really is a fair, intelligent, and balanced journalist. She is one of the best out there along with Jake Tapper of ABC News, and Chris Wallace and Bret Baier of […]
As most of you know last week I was down in Cancun, Mexico reporting on the U.N. Climate Change Summit (officially called COP16/CMP6). It was several days of sun, surf, and U.N. conmen. I am back in the saddle here at home but Friday I went from the warm white sands of Cancun back to […]
Simply showing that they are yet again attempting to thwart and ignore the will of the people, as they have been mostly doing since Obama took office, Dems are going to push whatever they can Democratic efforts to push through more than 100 public lands and water bills in the lame duck session are reaching […]
You couldn’t pick a much better spot in the United States for a massive lake of oil than ANWR. You hear people talking about it being a “pristine natural wilderness,” but in fact, it’s not a vacation spot — it’s in the middle of nowhere. Moreover, drilling can be done without harming the wildlife in […]
The only thing worse than the Wikileaks spy disaster has been the Obama administration’s flaccid response to it. Julian Assange is doing everything he can to humiliate and damage the United States. So, what is the Obama administration doing about it? Has someone walked up to Assange, stuck a pistol in his mouth, and introduced […]
Between 1942 and 1945, Viktor Frankl spent time in four different Nazi concentration camps. The experience was every bit as miserable as you’d imagine and then some. His family died, he suffered horribly, and he spent years watching everyone around him suffering and dying. Out of this came Man’s Search for Meaning. In the first […]
I struggled for a few minutes to find a clever title for this post that would convey the volume of information I’m about to download from my brain, but realized I couldn’t. A laundry list description will just have to do. You see, last night, I had the pleasure of attending a Hanukkah party that […]
According to the FBI the newest Barbie doll, one of the hottest gifts this Christmas, is in actuality the perfect gift for pedophiles. An alert sent out this past week warned that the new Barbie Video Girl, which features a camera and an LCD screen, could be used to create child pornography. The FBI says […]
Well here’s an appropriate follow-up to my previous post, “WikiLeaks Reveals Millions of Dollars Flowing to Extremists Worldwide: President Obama ‘Less Critical’ of Terror Financing Than Predecessor.” At The Guardian, Ambassador John Bolton takes issue with the Obama administration, “WikiLeaks cables: Barack Obama is a bigger danger – WikiLeaks harms the US. But the president’s […]
In case you missed it, there’s the global environmental summit this week in Mexico, “UN Climate Change Conference in Cancun.” Al Jazeera has your requisite climate change alarmism update: Over 15,000 participants traveled by fossil fuel-burning jets to a conference where no real progress is expected. The Mexican government refused to provide an estimated “carbon […]
Many of you have read the Bar Stool Economics story that has gone viral. Well, in light of the recent tax debate, I decided to make a video about it.
ObamaCare for THEE but not for all the “SPECIAL” people….. Here from the Health and Human Services website is the list of all the companies/unions who are being given waivers to “opt out” of ObamaCare.: The number has DOUBLED in one month.
Is this the chaos, the death by 1,000 cuts, “Operation Hemorrhage” as threatened just last week by Al Qaeda?
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: The Right Scoop. And while we’re on this, has the young man in that picture ever been identified? Does anybody know? Link: Gateway Pundit. Link: And […]
Obviously, the New York Times isn’t blaming this on Obama and the Democrats, yet, since Democrats have held the power of the purse and legislation throughout this entire economic downturn, and the Presidency for the past two years, not too mention a good chunk of the state legislatures, it’s their policies that create the problems […]
I was quite disappointed in 2006 when Republicans slipped the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act into the unrelated SAFE Port Act (yet that isn’t stopping them from hypocritically attacking others for possibly using the same method to undo it), thus passing the liberty-reducing legislation without significant notice at the time. Government has no business reaching […]
At LAT: In contrast to their upbeat public assessments, U.S. officials expressed frustration with a “risk averse” Mexican army and rivalries among security agencies that have hampered the Mexican government’s war against drug cartels, according to secret U.S. diplomatic cables disclosed Thursday. The cables quoted Mexican officials expressing fear that the government was losing control […]
Liam Neeson, who does the voice of Aslan the Lion in the Narnia movies, has upset people by claiming that Aslan could as easily be Allah or Buddha as he could be Christ: Ahead of the release of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader next Thursday, Neeson said: ‘Aslan symbolises a Christ-like figure but he […]
College-itis: (n.) A mental illness in which a patient is simply unable to accept a situation in which another thinking person possesses a commensurately durable command of the relevant facts, and has pursued some valid and competent thinking process to arrive at different ideas regarding what it all means or what should be done.

Poor little babies, can’t get in on all the moolah and the awesome buffets The UN climate negotiations are weighted heavily against the poorest countries, who cannot send delegates to key meetings, often do not understand what is being said and are unable keep up with the decisions being taken in their name, a report […]
First, there were the Sarahmotivators. Then, the Obamotivators. The Krugmotivator, and, just a trifle less disturbingly, the Smittymotivator. And, now: the Goremotivator. Via Grandpa Steve (who also neglected to inform me of this important development), Mind Numbed Robot broke this new ground in Automotivator technology. As a well-known connoisseur of all things Automotivator…well, you know. […]
Surprisingly, Bush was not mentioned. Instead, they find a different villain The problem with bringing down the stubbornly high unemployment rate is that employers are learning to do more with less. Employers still aren’t hiring enough. Just look at November’s disappointing employment report, which barely eked out a gain in jobs. Or better yet, look […]
The latest WikiLeaks dump could be breaking a record for provoking debate. I’ve said a lot already. But I’m thinking back to how badly the MFM and progressive manchild bloggers got beat on the Apache video last April. Jawa Report was doing yeoman’s work, for example, “For The Idiots Who Still Say There Was no […]
It’s getting so ridiculous even the : Associated Press is even screaming in a headline:: “DON’T TOUCH MY BROWNIES!”
Yet one more from the Dept. of You Can’t Make This Up: With United Nations climate negotiators facing an uphill battle to advance their goal of reducing emissions linked to global warming, it’s no surprise that the woman steering the talks appealed to a Mayan goddess Monday. Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework […]
