From yesterday afternoon: “Kamala Harris wins attorney general’s race as Steve Cooley concedes.” (At Memeorandum and Crooks and Liars, where folks are thrilled with Harris’ radicalism.) Democrats have now won every single statewide race. Some might recall that I’ve contemplated leaving California, although that’s entirely impossible at this point. I’ll no doubt be having continuing […]
I’m torn on this idea: on one hand, we have all had our backgrounds checked for one purpose or another, from applying for a credit card to applying for a job. On the other hand, those are all simply voluntary, and here you’ll have the government checking your background like you’re a criminal to see […]

They’ve cut the clip here, but at about 35 seconds Sarah Palin whaps a halibut: WaPo has the story, “Sarah Palin’s ‘Snuff Film’ Has Animal Rights Group Angry.” But according the Alaska Charter Association (via JWF), “Halibut clubbing is actually a standard practice among fishermen.” You don’t say?

Hat tip: Gateway Pundit Who funded “Nannygate” against the Meg Whitman for California governor campaign?: San Francisco Chronicle’s Carla Marinucci: “One of the most tantalizing mysteries in California’s 2010 gubernatorial election involved the connection between one of the state’s poorest women and one of its wealthiest.: How did an undocumented, Mexican-born housekeeper, Nicandra Diaz Santillan, […]
I’ve got an epic roundup here: “National Opt-Outapalooza!” UPDATES throughout the night at American Power.
I had students in my World Politics course this semester read Mearsheimer and Walt’s “The Israel Lobby.” Thoughts on the experience, via Melanie Phillips, at the link: “The London Review of Bigotry.” More throughout the day at American Power.
Yes, I know he reads them for the articles.: But, you know, I have to go there.: If Democrat Congressman John Conyers has time to read Playboy on a plane, maybe his staff could print out some pieces of legislation for him to bring along and read.: Seriously.: : Oh wait, that would entail too much.

It wasn’t easy, but establishment moonbats have finally managed to top naming the overpriced, barely functional coal-powered Volt as Car of the Year. They may even have topped giving the Nobel Peace Prize to a groveling appeaser who is highly unlikely to leave the world a more peaceful place. It’s hard to believe they will […]
If General Douglas MacArthur had gotten his way 60 years ago, North Korea would still be rebuilding its cities and would be unable to tread past a red-hot band of nearly-eternal radiation on one of its borders.: The decision to not grant MacArthur power to do what he thought best, and instead to fire him, […]
In a world run by egalitarian moonbats, no child left behind means no child can be allowed to get ahead. One of the most racially mixed high schools in Illinois, Evanston has a mission of embracing diversity and promoting equity and excellence for all students. But its own data show that few minority students make […]
What is it called when a government creates a state-sponsored “news” agency, again? Ah yes, it’s called government propaganda. And that is what the Obama administration seems interested in creating if the words of Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis’s senior advisor Carl Fillichio can be believed. On Nov. 19 Fillichio attended the annual meeting of […]
I know you guys remember Congressman elect Allen West. He was one of the bright new black conservative faces I blogged about and featured here. Well, he is already taking on The Congressional Black Caucus. And he is going to do it from within. He’s joining them: West: “The Congressional Black Caucus cannot continue to […]
A double shot from ABC News today, how could I pass up a headline like: President Obama to Barbara Walters: ‘I Don’t Think About Sarah Palin‘? In an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters from the White House, President Barack Obama says he’s not giving much thought to the 2012 election, but is focusing instead on […]
It’s still a bit early in the day, though They’re all the rage — fliers’ rage — the controversial new pat-down procedures used by government airport security screeners. Do you get the feeling that the folks at ABC News find the whole thing amusing? That they think you, the American public, are just silly people, […]
Liberalism in 120 seconds #2: Ann Coulter’s 5 best quotes about liberals
Last Friday, I compiled The 25 Best Ann Coulter Quotes About Liberals. On Tuesday, My Townhall column was called The 25 Best Quotes About Liberals. While I was compiling those lists, I came across a number of pretty good quotes that didn’t quite make the cut. Still, they were collectively good enough to merit a […]
(Hat tip to Seth McFarlane because I stole this concept from him.) 10) You know who really gets me all fired up? Mitt Romney! 9) It was the friendly, efficient service of that IRS Agent that convinced me I was wrong about the government. 8) If I had to replace my brain with one other […]
These days, the biased leftist slant of the media is more apparent than it has ever been. They are spinning madly, increasingly frantic with fear of those super scary Tea Partiers and oh-so-terrifying conservatives. And when you add Sarah Palin and race-based identity politics into the mix, it becomes a perfect storm of unabashed – […]
Do we laugh or cry?
At Fox News, “Under Fire, TSA Gets ‘Thank You’ From DHS“: With transportation security officers increasingly under fire from some quarters, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Tuesday sent an email to all Transportation Security Administration employees, saying she wanted to “take a moment to personally thank you for the work you are doing to […]
I read on Gawker about this girl who has $200,000 student loan debt. However, after some research, I found out that she majored in sociology and calls herself a “raging liberal” who also studied abroad. Oh, and now she wants people to pay for her choices because she’s “doing good.” My video about it is […]
Despite a guaranteed base of support that includes 95% of blacks, college professors, and journalists and 100% of people who get their news from NPR, PBS, and/or the New York Times, the incredible shrinking messiah’s numbers continue to plummet. Even Zogby is about ready to stick a fork in the Anointed One: President Barack Obama’s […]
Bleak as things look lately for lovers of liberty, it may turn out that the catastrophic 2008 election was the high water mark for authoritarian collectivism. Even Hollywood could be starting to realize that we’ve swallowed something very harmful and need to have our stomachs pumped. After generations of dominance by the Left, the movie […]
Two interesting things rolled across my desk today, interesting because they address the same topic — dependence on Big Government — but reach diametrically opposite conclusions. The first is a Dennis Prager column that examines why American conservatives are happier than American liberals. This isn’t just Dennis’ opinion, by the way. Instead, several recent polls […]
Although I have certainly expressed support for some kind of guest worker program for illegal aliens, I do NOT support the Dream Act. The Democrats would have you believe that it’s just about allowing young people whose parents brought them here illegally to become citizens. But don’t buy it. Senator Jeff Sessions lays it out: […]
Apparently there is an awful lot of “anti-Muslim hate” going on in this post 9/11 America. At least that’s what the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) gravely tells us each and every day. Just look at all this anti-Islamic bigotry going on out there: In May, CAIR demanded that the GOP refudiate all that “racist,” […]
What was it that our apologizer in chief and his minions have told us? Wasn’t it that we all have to sacrifice because the U.S. is less than she used to be? Well American Federation of Teachers union chief, Rhonda “Randi” Weingarten, says phooey on that. Sacrifice if for the unwashed masses, not her. Weingarten […]
This is a story that warms the anti-union cockles of my free-market heart. At the recent meeting of the Republican Governors Association in San Diego those governors gathered made a point to discuss angles of attack to take down the budget-busting, anti-democratic public employees unions. In attendance was the ever present former Speaker of the […]
