Unions are the scourge of Middle Earth, or at least the upcoming filmed version of Tolkien’s Hobbit set in that mythical land, anyway. Peter Jackson, heir to the Tolkien legacy on film, is trying to produce a two-part Hobbit film but the local actors union is standing athwart him Sauron-like and casting its evil union […]
University professors so often get the reputation of being ivory tower pinheads sheltered from real life and out of touch with reality. Professor Todd Henderson of the University of Chicago sure didn’t help change that perception when he posted a blog post detailing how Obama’s tax hikes will hurt and that his combined family income […]
Oh, sorry, I must have been imagining the headlines at CNN, MSNBC, and CBS later this afternoon once the rally is in full swing. It runs from 12-4, a time picked to apparently allow all the astroturfed buses to make it to the rally Union organizers, environmentalists, educators, anti-war protesters and civil-rights and gay-rights groups […]
Don’t worry, though, he slammed some people. Just not the ones he thought Over the past twenty months, we’ve been fighting not just to create more jobs today, but to rebuild our economy on a stronger foundation.

I often wish that I could keep a journal of all the outrageous encounters and conversations in which I routinely end up stuck; here’s an attempt at recording one of them.

The first two articles I’ve done from the Smart Girl Summit are now up at Human Events. The first one is called, Liz Cheney’s Scathing Critique of Obama and it features 5 quotes from Liz. Here’s a sample: 2) “I’ve got a message for Ahmadinejad: We may have a weak President now, but we’re getting […]
I wish I could say I’m surprised by this, but I’m not: RICHMOND – President Obama walked into the back yard of one of his chief congressional critics on Wednesday to continue his blunt assault on Republicans and their policies. At a recreation center in House Whip Eric Cantor’s district, Obama accused the Republican of […]
There is an eco-nazi effort going on in England called the 10:10 Campaign and in a video meant to encourage people to join the green effort people that disagree with the eco-nazis are murdered for their skepticism. Apparently murdering those that disagree with you is supposed to be funny. In a Telegraph article, James Delingpole […]
So you are a busy federal agency with lots and lots to do. You have roads to build, bridges to reinforce, and infrastructure to shore up, but there is something gnawing at your paper pushing soul. It’s those darn street signs in New York City and others. So, like a good, jackbooted government automaton, you […]
In the worst kept secret in D.C., White House Chief of Staff Rham Emanuel officially left his post in a tearful press conference on the morning of Oct. 1. Most of what Mr. Emanuel had to say was your normal, average, everyday puffery that a junior member of a team says when he is leaving […]
Even at a record high, investors say gold is a good deal — because unlike the dollar, liberals aren’t able to destroy its value: The US supremacy as the top world economy will end sooner than many people believe, so gold is a better investment than the dollar despite it hitting a new record, Tom […]
Among the vilest of our moonbat rulers is Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, who is up to his neck in the ongoing Fanny/Freddy scandal that continues to wreak havoc on the economy, who played a key roll in the recent financial overhaul power grab, and whose male sex partner once ran a homosexual prostitution service out […]
Hamid Mir is a Pakistani journalist and editor. He is the only journalist to have interviewed Osama Bin Laden after 9-11.

From WPIX-TV New York, “Officials Consider Bias-Crime Charges After Rutgers Voyeurism Victim Commits Suicide.” I wouldn’t go that far. Still, those who’ve blown this off as a botched “college prank” refuse to see evil. See, “Tyler Clementi’s Online Postings – Plus, Some Perspective on the ‘Hate Crimes’ and ‘Gay Morality’ Debate.” (Doug Mataconis has his […]
They just can’t help themselves The massive economic stimulus package President Obama pushed through Congress last year is coming in on time and under budget – and with strikingly few claims of fraud or abuse – according to a White House report to be released Friday. Shocking! The White House giving itself and A+ for […]
What a quandary for liberals: the man they love to personally loathe (among so many others they do not know and have never met) has a position that almost completely mirrors their own. They haven’t had this much angst since Bush and Darth Rove were pushing for amnesty years ago News Corporation CEO Rupert Murdoch […]
“…to solidify his standing with the Earth dwellers as a person deserving the respect due royalty.” Obi’s Sister, speculating on the rise and fall of Darth Obama: Could Obama have been secretly tutored, then rejected as unsuitable, by Darth Sidious himself?

Hey, man, don’t get cocky! The quote in the title is Allahpundit, commenting on this: That’s Republican candidate Ron Johnson trending up, while Democrat incumbent Russ Feingold trends down. Don’t get cocky, man. Don’t. Allahpundit writes: Is the DSCC going to have to pull the plug on more ad money for Wisconsin and leave Feingold […]
The Institute for Justice has tried its hand at some satire and political commentary with pleasing results… Too much in there is a “sad but true” proposition.
Yesterday, Bob Etheridge had a chance to vote against a tax increase. He didn’t. Then, he put an ad on TV accusing me of wanting to raise taxes. Here’s what happened.: On January 1st, every American income tax payer faces a tax increase. Millions of small businesses also face a tax increase and anyone who […]
If misery loves company, we ought to be happy that at least we aren’t the only society getting bled to the point of anemia by useless yet voraciously greedy trial lawyers. In Britain, they are going after schools like a swarm of the locusts they so closely resemble. Official figures just published show that ten […]
Our liberal rulers are doing everything they can about the jobs situation — that is, everything they can to make it worse.

Yes, Obama has continued his backyard campaign stops, partly pushing his healthcare plan (the only Democrat who seems to be doing that this campaign season,) partly whining at the GOP.
