If it’s a day ending in a “y”, it must be a day where an inside the beltway mentality liberal is making an absurd argument, casting blame, naming problems, but, unable to provide any rationale for his/her solutions. Over at Powerline, Paul eviscerates Excitable Matthew Yglesias over Matty’s ridiculous “Summer of Fear” opinion piece in […]
The short answer to that question is: Very little. The longer, more interesting answer was inspired by a question one of my real friends posed this week-end: She has a guy she doesn’t know very well on Facebook who is getting on her nerves. She wants to just block him, but she doesn’t know how […]
Churchville, VA–James Hansen of NASA, an ardent believer in man-made warming, announced recently that “The 12-month running mean global temperature in the Goddard Space Institute analysis has reached a new record in 2010 . . .

But first: Into the laundromat stroll a youngish couple, he a whiskered slab of man with pectoral muscles like sides of beef, she all legs and shorts and hoodie. They proceed to load up a washer with NOTHING and watch it run, and at the end of its cycle move the NOTHING into a dryer […]
This Ground Zero controversy is shaping up as a defining political and security issue in American politics, timed perfectly for the 9th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. I’ve commented previously at length. It’s to the point that folks left and right are talking past each other and it’s doubtful a whole lot of additional […]
Let’s get real simple here. The crux of the issue is whether, if indeed marriage is a right under the Constitution, there is also a right to change the meaning of the word “marriage” from what it always meant to what we just plain want it to mean. In other words, the “marriage” that is […]
FrankJ writes in Pajamas Media. FrankJ speaks the truth… Do you know what kinds of diseases can lurk inside improperly handled lemonade? No, you don’t. And neither do I. So obviously, that threat is so severe that medical scientists won’t even tell us about it so as not to create a panic. And do you […]
“It is a measure of the power of narrative that we publicly grieve more for the deaths of our enemies than those of our allies in a war that is now fading quickly from human memory,” the blogger Tigerhawk writes. On both the European and Pacific theaters of World War II, Hollywood and the rest of the left have certainly been doing their part in recent years.
Originally posted at NewsReal: Barbara Boxer was recently up in arms over some words. No,: this time it wasn’t the oh-so horrifying word ma’am. She was up in arms over her own words or, more to the point, the fact that George Will was holding her to her own words — words that expressed a […]
Well, a couple of things. : And I wasn’t the only one. : But why waste a good couple of “I told you so”‘s? The first thing I was right about was, of course, how dismal a prospect it was that we’d get a bona fide clown in the United States Senate, as opposed to the usual […]
News has emerged today of an investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that has discovered hundreds of federal workers who are pocketing fraudulent Social Security disability payments. This is doubly galling, to say the least. Not only are these federal workers living off we the taxpayers, but now they are stealing from us outright. […]
In yet one more example among thousands, we see why loud-mouth, extreme left-wing talker Rosie O’Donnell is wholly unworthy of a national forum. In a recent segment of her satellite radio show Rosie Radio, O’Donnell idiotically claimed that gays were being “rounded up” in America so that a “pink triangle” could be slapped on them […]
For all you liberal dhimmi’s out there, as you ignore the threat from radical Islam and the calls for Sharia law here in the United States, this is the kind of thing it brings An 18-year-old Iranian is facing imminent execution on charges of homosexuality, even though he has no legal representation. Ebrahim Hamidi, who […]
In one of the better back-and-forths we had in a comment thread at GayPatriot, a thoughtful left-of-center reader considers Katie Couric’s bias, then makes an interesting point: . . . if Biden and Palin were both to be interviewed on Fox News, I think you’d see the same difference in treatment (i.e., Fox would gun […]
Over at Commentary Contentions, Peter Wehner references House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “pathetic and pitiful” response “to the dismal new unemployment numbers”. : Always on the attack, Ms. Nancy would rather blame Republicans than accept the responsibility for her own party’s failures: Today’s report shows our teachers, police officers, firefighters, and nurses are still feeling the […]
Warner Todd Huston had the story yesterday: A blogger is in trouble with local Ohio officials who are trying to Shut him down using a badly applied campaign finance law all because he has been critical of county officials on his blog. That’s right, a county board is trying to silence the free political speech […]
Forgive me for dredging this story up again — I was on vacation when it broke, so it’s been simmering. A recap: John Kerry was mooring his boat in Rhode Island, instead of his home state of Massachusetts. The reason: taxes. If he’d moored in Massachusetts, he’d have been hit with $437,000 in sales taxes, […]
The RNC hasn’t exactly thrived since Michael Steele took over, but in one area, they’ve improved markedly: That’s their new media division. They’ve done a great job of blogger relations, they’ve upgraded their tech capabilities tremendously, and they’ve got a new website. IT looks tight and the volunteer page is particularly a big step forward. […]
Last time I was in Time Square, I passed a couple people selling humorous Barack Obama condoms on a street corner.: I was amused and proud of everything represented by: this simple act of commerce: freedom, expression, and capitalism.: I am sad to learn now that those same individuals might be the ones in this […]
Since when did Japan become the victim in WWII. I found out yesterday that America sent an Ambassador to Japan to memorialize the bombing of Hiroshima. Then, I noticed on twitter in the trending topics that thousands of people were making Japan to be the victim, and America the aggressor. This is historical illiteracy and […]
Last month I wrote about the California healthcare case involving Skilled Healthcare LLC. The Nursing Home company was accused by trial lawyers of violating California’s regulations governing how many staff members per resident that is required to operate a healthcare facility and lost its case. What struck me is that this case seemed to have […]
Irish Cicero, chief cook and bottle-washer of Washington Rebel where I am a new contributor, wants to talk about Armageddon. It is the subject of this post, as well as in a private e-mail thread that has been bouncing around this week. I was quietly abstaining from it altogether because it’s already an important item […]
You’ve got to hand it to the good folks at Mediaite. These guys are on top of everything in the media world. This time Mediaite has uncovered the fact that Media Matters, the left-biased media slanderers paid for by George Soros, have been caught doing precisely what they claimed that New Media maven Andrew Breitbart […]
Unions have for years been figuring out new ways to screw employers and in Madison, Wisconsin a teacher’s union is looking for yet another way to slam it to the taxpayers by insisting that they get a free Viagra drug benefit. In this bad economy, with states going bankrupt right and left, with teachers being […]
Frum • i • fes • to (n.) A Frumifesto is a manifesto written down by a liberal jackass pretending to be a conservative, crying into his beer grape juice that “today’s” conservatives aren’t acting like “real” conservatives, which means like liberals. Like this guy over here. Some ingredients in the mix are regular fixtures. 1. She’s in there. Oh yes. […]
The Society Of St. Vincent De Paul is holding a raffle — and it’s not just any raffle. The tickets for this raffle are $100 a pop, they’re worth every penny, and this week, I’ll be giving some of them away for free. So, if these raffle tickets cost $100, they must be for a […]
: : : : : The bottom line, however you want to look at it, to Obama’s selection for Supreme Court is the choice’s reasoning is for his power only.: Not only is Kagan not a correct choice for the nation but for the court as well; especially in this time of war and fiscal challenge. : : : : : No matter […]
Tom Nelson does his usual awesome job in skewering the climate alarmists with a post entitled Settled science?: Could all of the percentages below really be correct? Let’s highlight a few of the stories Tom found, shall we? AFP: McCartney calls for meat-free day to cut CO2 “A lower-meat diet could see greenhouse gases reduced […]
Among the inside the beltway political class and ObamaZombies, the Stimulus, otherwise known as the Generation Theft Act (alternatively known as the Pissing Money Down A Deep Well With Little Return Act), has been a super awesome magical piece of legislation, so, they are often clueless as to why it is so darned un-popular and […]
