No matter what one might think of gays and/or cross-dressers, approve or disapprove, nowhere in human compassion should something like this happen to someone simply being themselves A SUDANESE court had 19 Muslim youths flogged in public overnight for dressing up like women. The punishment was carried out immediately after the sentencing by the court […]
Folks are reacting to that line at the ruling. AoSHQ is especially good. And Jeff Goldstein responds: … this ruling does nothing more than enshrine the notion that what has always been the definition for marriage can no longer be the definition for marriage, because defining marriage as it has always been defined is discriminatory […]
Originally posted at NewsReal A video surfaced today of the abysmally-rated Katie Couric rehearsing and taping some segments on the very day that Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain’s running mate for the 2008 election. While her derision isn’t surprising — she made it quite evident in all subsequent alleged reporting as well — […]
In an August 2 editorial the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz cried a river over the rancor he saw in today’s media calling it a “nastiness index” that continues to rise. But his lament is not only off base in many ways, it is also historically illiterate and is built on only one real complaint: the […]
Somewhere right now, Sarah Palin is doing this: If Bristol Palin were your daughter and you got this news, you’d be celebrating tonight, too: And just like that, they were off again. “It’s over. I broke up with him,” Bristol Palin tells PEOPLE exclusively of her second try at an engagement to Levi Johnston, father […]
Hey, that didn’t take long. E.D. Kain’s found his bone (e.g., “True/Slant Shuts Down – Charles Johnson, E.D. Kain Looking for New Digital Media Bones to Suck Dry“). Turns out the lying freak-blogger’s joined John Cole’s Balloon Juice, and the title of his post is fully apropos: “Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself.” And hey, […]
According to the liberal media, there isn’t much that cannot be blamed on the nefarious white man and his racism. A black guy is caught stealing, loses his job, snaps, and starts shooting people and whose fault is it? If you’re white, it’s yours. Here’s the headline: Family: Racial Bias Caused Conn. Gunman to Snap […]
Gulf states have been crippled economically by the oil leak Obama’s bumbling and intrusive regime made so hard to defend the coast against, and still more by his malevolent ban on off-shore drilling. Although liberal elite types will curl their lips insufferably at the “Redneck Riviera,” there is no shortage of fine hotels on the […]
In his latest column, Jonah Goldberg pounded home a point that some of the intellectuals, wonks, and elitists in the conservative movement really needed to hear: Conservatives, being conservatives, have a soft spot for the good old days, but this is getting ridiculous. It seems every day another colleague on the right wants to click […]
In a harbinger of profit statements to come, Clorox Co. — maker of numerous household cleaning products — reports that it’s net income was nearly flat despite a one percent rise in revenue. The reason? Taxes. Clorox Co. says its fourth-quarter net income was nearly flat, even though its revenue rose one percent, because it […]
While attending RightOnLine in Las Vegas last week we had the opportunity to attend several discussions of the ill advised plans that the Obama administration’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has for regulating and controlling the Internet. I listened to a panel discussion and a stand alone speech on Net Neutrality and the plans the Obama […]
An interesting article appeared in the Chicago Tribune lamenting the fact that teachers unions are standing in the way of good education for our kids by constantly and in knee-jerk fashion opposing school reform efforts all across the country. Penned by the Tribune’s Leonard Pitts, no arch righty he, the piece scolds teachers unions and […]
In recommending that a different location be found for the Islamic Center, we are mindful that some legitimate questions have been raised about who is providing the funding to build it, and what connections, if any, its leaders might have with groups whose ideologies stand in contradiction to our shared values. These questions deserve a […]
Over the past few days, a video of California Rep. Pete Stark’s exchange with a constituent in a town hall meeting has gone viral in the online community.: The interest in the video is focused on a comment Stark made about the power of the federal government.: Although coming from a California congressman, the comment […]
Is there nothing that AGW doesn’t effect? Here’s a question for all you Freakonomic’s fans out there: what do this week’s stultifying heat indexes across much of the country have to do with the price of pork bellies? If you answered that both are at or near record highs, then you get a gold star […]
The planned Islamic Center near Ground Zero is a disgrace, and a slap in the face to all those who died in the World Trade Centers. For the owners not to see that is also a disgrace. Naturally those at Salon.com see those opposed as participating in “bigotry,” because that is the go to smear […]
Finally, after 18 months of the disaster known as the Generational Theft Act, the media is starting to notice that bad things happen A couple of Republican senators put out a report today spelling out how they say a lot of the money taxpayers shelled out for the stimulus package was wasted. CBS News investigative […]
. How much do Missourian voters hate Obamacare? They hate it by a 73% – 27% margin. And even in very liberal St. Louis, 30% of the voters there voted FOR Proposition C. What did proposition C state? From Ballotpedia: Official Ballot Title: Shall the Missouri Statutes be amended to: Deny the government authority to […]
Thanks to @Forest4Congress for this “Context”. It clarifies even more: You have to watch the WHOLE thing. Here’s one particularly laughable part: There’s enough blame for the House of Reps … it is a fact that the Senate has been unable, perhaps unwilling, to move any legislation (that cuts funding for the war in Afghanistan.) […]
“Another of our country’s children, giving his life for our freedom from terrorism. God bless you, soldier, thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. You will never be forgotten.” — From the comments at the Orange County Register. The photo shows U.S. Marine Michael Chang grieving at the memorial for his best friend, Army Sgt. Daniel […]
For those with more than passing curiosity, the Journolist delivers a treasure trove of elite connections that lead all the way to the White House. Trevor Loudon of NoisyRoom.net continues to do spectacular work to dig up the connections. Now, he finds President Obama’s socialist pals on the list. He asks: Would Barack Obama be […]
Via Reason magazine, the best governor candidate New York State has had in years. Here’s the thing: I bet she’d balance the budget and be the most honest pimp to occupy the State office: I do find it an abomination that this woman spent time in jail while Eliot Spitzer now has a CNN show. […]
American citizenship is a very precious thing and it should be treated that way. That’s part of the reason illegal immigration has been such a contentious issue. It’s also why anchor babies have been in the news of late. Simply put, a child of two illegal immigrants that’s born on American soil or the child […]
What a surprise — like so many other criminal aliens who commit crime after crime, Carlos A. Martinelly Montano had already been captured and released by the feds before killing a nun while indulging in the favorite undocumented Democrat pastime of driving drunk: The Virginia man suspected in a drunken-driving crash that killed a Catholic […]
Just as Americans have the iconic image of Marines and a sailor raising Old Glory on Iwo Jima, Muslims will soon have an “Islamic center” next to Ground Zero to symbolize and commemorate a historic victory. The controversial Islamic center proposed to be built near the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks won a major […]
Famed vampire novelist Anne Rice made some news when she noted on Facebook no less that she was leaving Christianity, As I said below, I quit being a Christian. I’m out. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse […]
Politico’s Kenneth Vogel has an interesting piece on a book that Tea Party activists are starting to glom onto as an administrative guidebook of sorts. The book, “The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations,” is a book that explains how leaderless organizations work and can be effective. Of late tea partiers […]
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it. — P.J. O’Rourke Picking a politician to support is like trying to decide whether you want […]

As you have probably heard, Chelsea Clinton got married this past weekend. As I suspected, the wedding cost anywhere from $2 million dollars to $5 million dollars. Even at the low end of those numbers, that’s 20 times the cost of Jenna Bush’s wedding, which cost around $100,000. It doesn’t bother me how much Chelsea […]
