Breast Is Best: That’s The Objective Fact

Every year, some woman justifies her decision to bottle feed her kid and uses some form of the logic, “It makes no difference anyway.” Every year, I write a response that consists of, yes, you’re free to feed your newborn fried eggs and ham, or pureed lima beans, or formula if you want, and the […]

National Review Endorses….John McCain?

If they were endorsing him for President I’d understand, but no Republican in the Senate has done more damage to the conservative cause in the last decade than McCain and yet, we’re still getting this from the editors at NR? That this magazine has not always agreed with Sen. John McCain’s judgments is an understatement. […]

ObamaCare Failing On Deadlines, Costs

It’s been awhile since we talked about President Chumps outsourced “historic” legislation. Since it has been passed, there have been stories, but, they have been low key, and tend to be somewhat buried. Like this one Three months after the $940 billion health care bill was signed into law, questions abound about whether the Obama […]

Why I Denied David Frum’s Website A Spot In The Blogads Conservative Hive

It’s no surprise that a guy like David Frum would be defending Dave Weigel, who resigned from the WAPO after his private comments mocking conservatives went public and proved exactly what conservatives have been saying all along: –: that he: is hostile to the right and had no business writing a blog called: : “Inside the conservative movement and Republican […]

Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) Dead at 92

Get ready for the mother of all narrative struggles: the left will be eager to whitewash Byrd’s horrific legacy, which includes a stint in the KKK, filibustering the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and opposing both Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas

Faith in Government Regulators is Misplaced

Shakespeare would likely describe the latest major legislation winding its way through Congress as a piece of legislation crafted by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.:  Rather than address the systemic distortions created by prior government policies, and which caused the financial meltdown, policy makers are now “[putting] a lot of faith in […]

Welcome to East Germany on the Potomac

Newsweek, owned by the Washington Post, famously screamed on a cover story early last year that “We Are All Socialists Now.” In contrast, the conservative Hot Air blog recently noted the correlation between the leviathan socialist state virtually all Beltway journalists begged for when they endorsed Obama in 2008, and the state of journalism itself. You wanted East Germany on the Potomac, MSM? The paranoia over who leaked faux-conservative Dave Weigel’s incendiary emails on the Journolist goes hand in that hand with that big of a government

Radical Feminist Hate Mail of the Day

It’s not hate mail, actually (but close enough). It’s a STFU Tumblog, “STFUSexists.” And I guess that includes me, and I’m targeted for extra STFU-ing for my neocon-ishness. See, “Another neo-con with a woman problem ? …“: Now, I’m not expecting much from someone with a No-Bama icon who thinks that Melanie Griffith has written […]

The fattest cats of all

When: Matt Drudge had the nerve – unlike the mainstream media – to remind the world that not only BP’s CEO, but the federal government’s Chief Executive, too, was enjoying high-class leisure last weekend instead of donning sackcloth and ashes (or using them to wick up some of the oil in the gulf) I think he […]

Moonbats On The March: Violence At G20

In a city during a meeting where the Left’s favorite incompetent leader (more on that at The Telegraph) is pushing to continue big spending and deficits (most of the other G20 countries have realized that continuing big spending and deficits might turn them into the next Greece), much of which helps those on the Left […]

We’re Here, We’re Queer and We’re in Abject Denial

Originally posted at NewsReal: Earlier this week, a group called Queers Against Israeli Apartheid boasted that the Pride Toronto organizers had voted to reverse a decision which would now let them march in the Gay Pride parade. They proudly touted it as a blow against censorship and then issued this statement: “This is a victory […]

Just Lower Our Taxes

At Moonbattery, “Meanwhile, Back at the Joe Biden ‘Recovery Summer’ Tour,” and Gateway Pundit, “Eat Up… Joe Biden Gets Gets Custard in Face When Business Owner Tells Him: “Lower Our Taxes”” (via Memeorandum): Joe “Bite-Me” Biden traveled to Wisconsin yesterday to campaign with far left Progressive Russ Feingold (D-WI). Smokin Joe ordered a custard at […]

Jan Brewer Roundup

Readers will recall this morning’s post, “Most Illegal Immigrants Smuggling Drugs, Says Gov. Jan Brewer.” Well it turns out Gov. Brewer’s standing firm. See Fox News, “Arizona Gov. Stands by Claim That Most Illegals Smuggle Drugs Into Country.” Additional responses to today’s immigration posting here.

Economists like to kvetch about “barriers to entry.”

So I’ve been keeping vague track of global economic news lately. In particular, like so many others, I’ve been kind of watching — catch as catch can — the Greek economic…thing. Their bond market, in particular, is doing poorly. I know that, because I read this: Greek Bond Risk Jumps to Record on Signs of […]

Medicare cuts avoided…world saved…for now.

Phew! President Barack Obama has signed a bill that temporarily spares doctors from a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments. One could also say it “temporarily spares” patients from that 21 percent cut. Doctors will lose business, naturally, if they stop taking Medicare patients because of the low pay, but they’ll still have business. Medicare […]

Fish Wrap: Obama Reasserts His Authoritih!

No, really. Seriously. That is what their headline says: “In Week Of Tests, The President Reasserts His Authority.” Question for the Times: when did he actually assert his authority in the first place? After two months in which an oil gusher seemed to underscore the limits of his powers, President Obama spent the last week […]

Obama’s Drilling Moratorium a Sop to Unions?

The president of the Seafarers International Union’s Gulf Coast District, Dean Corgey, recently penned an op ed in which he noted an interesting fact: deepwater oil drilling rigs are “100 percent non-union.” With this in mind one of union bought president Barack Obama’s major decisions — in fact, one of his few actual decisions — […]

Most Illegal Immigrants Smuggling Drugs, Says Gov. Jan Brewer

The Arizona Guardian reports that, “Brewer advisor says “missteps” were made on immigration claims” Still, anything Gov. Jan Brewer says will “ignite controversy.” As long as any official speaks bluntly and honestly about the crisis, media types will repudiate those remarks as extremist. At NYT, “Arizona: Governor Ignites Controversy With Remarks on Drug Mules.” (Via […]

Cheney In Hospital With “Discomfort,” Liberals Are Concerned

And, of course, by concerned, I mean “bat guano crazy and nasty.” The story Former Vice President Dick Cheney was admitted to the hospital Friday after experiencing discomfort, the latest health scare for the 69-year-old Republican leader who has a long history of heart disease.
