Thanks to FreedomWorks’s respect for bloggers, I was allowed to get as close to the stage at the 9/12 March on Washington as I wanted, which was about three feet away.: Because of that, I was able to get two great videos. The first one is of Tito “The Builder” Munoz. Here’s what I wrote […]
What a weekend! I always say I will blog when I’m at an event, but then I get too busy. Stick with me on this post. Lots of good stuff and pics at the end! I arrived in D.C. on Thursday for BlogCon 2010. Conferences aren’t usually that interesting, but this one was. We went […]
Someone was a busy beaver over the weekend A BRISBANE-based lawyer and atheist who videoed himself smoking what appeared to be joints made with pages from the Bible and the Koran expects to lose his job at a Queensland university. In the video, posted on YouTube, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) staffer Alex Stewart compares […]
It’s nice to be the king President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have a packed social schedule this week, with two major galas and a reception for college athletes. On Wednesday the First Couple will don black tie for the annual Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala, one of the more entertaining political galas of […]

On his Mad Money program, Jim Cramer recently listed 8 items to get the economy moving.: He was dead wrong to include a retroactive reinstatement of the death tax in the list. For the sake of argument, I’ll pretend like he didn’t contradict himself by also calling for a freeze on the Bush tax cuts […]
Illinois, like many states, is broke. Its credit is even worse than that of California and its highly publicized financial quagmire.: In such a fiscal environment, taxpayers are rightfully demanding that governments tighten up and are increasingly zealous about ensuring that money is spent productively. One way in which they may be surprised to find […]
I figured I’d give some quick thoughts on Castro finally realizing that Communism doesn’t work. A little bit late, don’t you think?

The New York Times gave a glowing review of Ana Burger’s career as a most divisive member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). But how could one be less arrogant and pushy than would seem natural for a union that set out to fashion itself an “international” union? Burger, 59, was supposed to be […]
It’s not the first time the Washington Post has allowed this apparent hardcore Islamist use of their op-ed page. Previously, he whined about being banned in the USA. Perhaps there is a reason, though, of course, the ACLU and other dhimmi’s took up his cause, and the Obama State Dept. revoked his banning. Here is […]
This five-post article was originally posted on: Dean’s World. I work in New York City. That morning I was late on the way into the office. I had to stop off at what was then called the “AT & T Phone Store” to replace my cell phone. I chose the one just off Sixth Avenue in […]
Saturday, September 25: there’s going to be an Open Carry picnic in West Baraboo*, Wisconsin. Just down the road from here. Those of you who find firearms frightening – you may want to stay inside that day. Doors locked. Blinds drawn. Huddled quietly in the corner with the “9” and the “1” already dialed and […]
Now, this whole article would be considered an in-kind campaign contribution under the legislation Democrats want to pass. Well, it would if a blogger wrote it, since the Old Media would be pretty much excluded. Anyhow House Democrats were preparing late last year for the first floor vote on the financial regulatory overhaul when Representative […]
President Obama: “We are ready, this week, to give tax cuts to every American making $250,000 or less. For any income over this amount, the tax rates would go back to what they were under President Clinton. This isn’t to punish folks who are better off — it’s because we can’t afford the $700 billion […]
The on again, off again, on again Koran burning in Florida is off again, this time for good says infamous pastor Terry Jones. It seems that Pastor Jones finally decided that the burning would not have been the best course of action. “We will definitely not burn the Quran, no,” he said. “Not today, not […]
The widely read California website Calbuzz bills itself as a site offering political news, analysis, commentary, “and more about California and beyond.” During this election cycle, though, the “and more” seems to indicate that Calbuzz is operating as the publicity shop for Democrat Jerry Brown’s campaign for Governor because so far they’ve spent little time […]
Lauren Walker works with North Korean refugees in South Korea. She is an amazing person.
The Washington Examiner asks a few substantive questions about unions this Labor Day weekend. Why do they seem to have such an outsized power when their dues paying members are fewer than ever, when they work in fewer industries than ever, and when they have such money troubles? Ah, but the answer is what we […]
This is Brooke Alexandra Jackman. She was born August 28, 1978. She was murdered by Islamic extremists September 11, 2001, while working at Cantor Fitzgerald, where she worked as an assistant trader. She was just 23. After reading so many touching stories and tributes about Brooke, I feel I almost know her. Her smile is […]
Programming Note: I will be reporting on the 9/11 memorials and mosque protest at Ground Zero today. Expect an update late Saturday/early Sunday. And from last night: “Safe Landing in New York!” ********* The first clip is Part I from a Port Authority documentary, made in 1983. Interesting. At bottom is a Fox News report […]
I hesitate to blog about this and, perhaps, give somebody on this side of the world new ideas. On the other hand, what the hell. Might be fun. The story: Romanian witch tax not ‘brewing’ with lawmakers there Lawmakers Alin Popoviciu and Cristi Dugulescu of the ruling Democratic Liberal Party drafted a law where witches […]
This is Phil Davison, who’s running for that position in Stark County, Ohio. It’s…well…let’s just call it zealous. I’m not normally one to suggest decaffeinated coffee, but…Phil, bubbelah, it may be time. UPDATE — Allahpundit says: Three words: 2012. Convention. Keynote.
And a put Baptist in quotes, because this “church” is not following the teachings of the Bible nor Christ. Anyhow It is still unclear if a Florida pastor will go through with his plans to burn the Quran on the anniversary of 9-11 tomorrow, but one thing is for sure, a church in Topeka will […]
Evidence accrues that Comrade Obama continues to defy the public he supposedly represents by imposing overwhelmingly unpopular policies because he doesn’t care if his party loses Congress this fall. The lefties at Time, who helped hype him into office, discuss the ostensible decline of Obama’s Organizing for America machine: What happened to Barack Obama’s once […]
Here‘s how multiculturalism is working out in liberal Belgium: A top Belgian politician warned the country’s citizens on Sunday to “get ready for the break-up of Belgium,” as King Albert II seeks to relaunch knife-edge coalition talks. Leading francophone Socialist Laurette Onkelinx, considered a potential successor to party chief Elio Di Rupo, who gave up […]
I got up at 4 AM, got a ticket on my way into DC (the cop overclocked me by a good 5 MPH), and arrived in time to go up to Capitol Hill for a pre-Blog Con meet and greet between bloggers and congressional staffers. I was a bit disappointed in how few staffers showed […]
Ha! Just kidding. Here’s the actual headline: Rosh Hashanah Celebrated in Israel Despite Concerns for Peace Damn you, Jews, for celebrating your holy days despite all our concerns for peace! Rosh Hashanah — the Jewish New Year — started at sunset Wednesday. According to this website, it’s one of the holiest days of the Jewish […]
It appears that North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue went to the Rahm Emanuel school of governing because hurricane Earl was a “crisis” that was “too good to waste.” Perdue used hurricane Earl as an excuse to claim that the North Carolina was in a “state of emergency” and this proclamation opens the door for an […]
I must say, when I am watching football (or hockey or baseball), there are certain commercials that I do not want to see, things that just do not go, such as feminine hygiene products, political ads, and preachy “buy this or you’re a terrible person” crap. And what were we treated to during the Saints-Vikings […]
