The Thomas Friedman Bubble

Thomas Friedman strikes me as a creepy guy. Keep in mind, we’re talking about man who openly admires China’s lack of democracy because he thinks it would make it easier to get things done. Clearly, Friedman is not the sort of person who can be trusted with power, which is why it’s probably a good […]

WikiLeaks U.S. Embassy Cables Release

Blazing Catfur has the key headline: “Wikileaks Diplomatic Cables Released by Times, Der Spiegel.” Here’s this at NYT, “Cables Obtained by WikiLeaks Shine Light Into Secret Diplomatic Channels.” And I love this at Spiegel: “A Superpower’s View of the World.” And Doug Mataconis has a report: “Wikileaks Releases Diplomatic Cables, Revealing International Secrets.” (Via Memeorandum.)

McCain Wants Regime Change in North Korea

Well it’s about time: “John McCain Calls for Regime Change in North Korea.” I suggested we topple Pyongyang last week. Does anyone have any backbone these days? I’m not holding my breath, especially with these pantywaists: “Foreign Policy‘s Top 100 Global Thinkers.” More throughout the day at American Power.

Terrorism, Sure. Oh, but it’s ‘Not a Conspiracy’!

How many terror attacks or attempted terror attacks have occurred on U.S. soil since 9/11? Five? Six? Ten? According to our government each and every one of these attacks, whether failed or not, have had one thing in common: “they are not part of a conspiracy.” Clearly, however, our officials are lying to us on […]

Illegal Alien’s Bill of Rights

President Barack Obama will soon introduce the Undocumented Resident’s Affirmative Toleration Act (URAT) in order to protect those unfortunate minorities that didn’t win life’s lottery by being born in the U.S.A. President Obama’s compassion for these downtrodden and oppressed peoples is well known, but he wants particular attention paid to those human beings that white […]

Snap! Supermodel Says Manmade Globull Warming Causes Everything!

Sadly, you can’t really call be too critical of her, because actual scientists and people in the know hold the same idiotic notions: Helena Christensen calls for action on climate change The supermodel, who is a global ambassador for Oxfam, visited villages in the foothills of the Himalayas to see first hand the effect of […]

Michelle Grants Pie Amnesty, Gives Alms to the Poor

The First Lady announced just before Thanksgiving…….whew!……….. that she would give America a “break” from her food policing….but only for a few days. LET THEM EAT PIE! Michelle “Being-First-Lady-Is-Hell” Obama had plenty of time to get her photo op with the “little people” who have no jobs the day before Thanksgiving. That’s because she had […]

Today’s lesson: incentives and unintended consequences

The background: a woman named Corinne Theile had a unique and…let’s just call it interesting…idea for getting through airport security: “Every time I go through security I always say, ‘I don’t even know why I got dressed this morning.’ I end up taking off belts, jewelry and everything else off anyway,” Theile said. “I don’t […]

More Revolting GM Volt News

I know we are supposed to feel all warm and cozy from this new General Motors television ad (see below) thanking us for bailing them out…..but: it is really just one more thumb in the eye to the U.S. taxpayer.

Spain Learns That Solar Really, Really Needs Government Handouts

Apparently, without government money, solar power might not even be able to power its own life support The Spanish government has launched a new regulatory framework that will result in subsidized tariffs for ground-mounted solar energy projects drop 45% this year, killing future investment in the trade, which industry leaders expect will be frozen in […]

Helen Thomas’s long career in journalistic moonbattery is over, but she’s not done collecting kudos from her admirers. Having received a “Courage in Journalism” award from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, former White House correspondent Helen Thomas is now scheduled to be honored by an Arab group whose executive director had his home raided by the […]

Hollywood Lunatics and Other Stories

It’s a holiday and some might say we should be charitable to the unfortunate. By unfortunate usually they mean those that don’t have as much as you and I. But one might construe “unfortunate” to mean being gut wrenchingly stupid, too. And when one thinks of the gut wrenchingly stupid one often thinks of the […]

47 Words In ObamaCare Bill Could Cost Hospitals Millions

Perhaps there is a reason that bills should be read and thoroughly examined prior to putting them up for a vote? Partisan tensions on Capitol Hill are delaying efforts to fix an error in the federal health care law that could cost Children’s Hospital Boston and others like it millions of dollars in added drug […]

A Happy Thanksgiving From Michele Bachmann!

I’ve been a supporter of Michele Bachmann since she first gained national notoriety (following an appearance on MSNBC’s Hardball). And I received this greeting from her today: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! As Marcus and I sit around the Thanksgiving dinner table with our five children we have a lot to be thankful […]

Animal Rights Activists Threaten UCLA’s David Jentsch

It’s been almost two years, but I wrote on this previously: “J. David Jentsch Stands Up to Animal Rights Extremists.” I’m not surprised, but things have gotten worse. At LAT, “Attacks Won’t Deter Researcher“: When UCLA neuroscientist J. David Jentsch was a grad student, he never expected his life as an academic would require around-the-clock […]

Mental Ward Loses Appeal

Among the many things we have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving: hebephrenically anti-American professor Ward Churchill — who denounced those who died during the Muslim atrocities of September 11 as “Little Eichmanns” — has lost an appeal in his effort to sue his way back into the classroom: The Colorado Court of Appeals … […]
