The Chicago Tribune has a long lament of an article bellyaching about how so many wonderful and devout Muslim grocery store owners in Chicago are somehow forced to sell liquor, lottery tickets and pork products in their stores. The article worries over their Muslim souls for having to violate their un-American Shariah codes. Naturally, a […]
One of the best ways to cajole a reader into accepting a point of view is to use emotional descriptives in writing. It is the difference between opinion style editorials — like what I write — and straight news — like what a wire service like the Associated Press is supposed to be writing. Unfortunately, […]
Know what really bugs me about Paul Krugman? It’s that he’s a Nobel Prize : winner in economics who’s probably forgotten more about the subject than most of us will ever know. So, what does he do with all that knowledge? Very little, actually. In fact, a large part of his shtick is to say ridiculously […]
Two CNS News articles to compare. Let’s start with Queen Nancy House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said last week that passing energy and climate change legislation is a “moral issue”–although, at the same time, she indicated that she is “agnostic” about what means should be used in legislation to reduce dependence on foreign oil and […]
Paul H. Rubin, professor of economics at Emory University, does a great job in comparing and contrasting the federal responses to the two disasters as they relate to two presidents, though, I do think he forgot one point, which I’ll get to. First, some background In many respects, the Deepwater Horizon disaster and Katrina are […]
Middle-of-the-roaders and people who don’t pay a lot of attention to politics have made such a fetish out of bipartisanship that the most partisan political hacks in D.C. will go on and on about “unity” and “working with the other side” even as they lustily plant toe kicks to the other side’s groins at every […]
Decked out in flashy burlesque costumes, five dancers mouth sexually suggestive lyrics as they writhe and shimmy across the stage.: : The audience hoots and hollers as they gyrate to Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” If you’ve seen the viral video then you already know: these YouTube sensations are just eight and nine […]
Across the country states are reaching what appears to be rock bottom from President Obama’s failed economic policies, but in Nevada, Harry Reid has grabbed a shovel and continued to dig. Despite having Harry Reid, the so-called most powerful senator in the country, Nevada now maintains the highest unemployment rate in the U.S. at 14 […]
From day one of the spill, we have seen that it has left more than tragedy and waste in its path but also a magnifying of exactly what our White House holds: Zero real leadership and continuous degradation of the U.S. Constitution.: While many political experts have said time and time again that our Commander […]
The answer below will astound you. Senator LeMieux: via Shark Tank
Well, this is utterly unsurprising. And the article undersells what the docs are doing. Many are quitting Medicare entirely: The number of doctors refusing new Medicare patients because of low government payment rates is setting a new high, just six months before millions of Baby Boomers begin enrolling in the government health care program. Recent […]
With Comrade Obama all but declaring war on the oil and coal industries that make our cars go and the lights come on, it’s a good thing that his fellow moonbats have the smarts to generate power by other means. The E Rope, for example: Besides being good for your flubber, skipping seems to be […]
These days public schools don’t pay much attention to the tired old topics of yesteryear — reading, writing, arithmetic, etc. Now the emphasis is on learning fun stuff, like sexual intercourse and disregarding the wishes of parents: A New England school district has approved a measure that will provide free condoms to elementary school students […]
This is a blindingly hot story that should be front page news if only for the furious denials it will undoubtedly prompt from the White House: “(Obama said) the problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’” [Audible gasps were heard […]
My newest video is a bit of an experiment. It’s a bit more social commentary than politics. I got the lighting right, though, so at least the color is much better than the previous one! Enjoy…
So I wake up this morning to my respected friend Matt Lewis’ latest work for Politics Daily where he makes a list of 10 bloggers that the Washington Post needs to know. I think we need to define “blogger”. On the list, I only see two pure bloggers: Glenn Reynolds aka Instapundit and Ed Morrissey […]
Leftists love to purposefully misconstrue what sort of government conservatives want. Certainly whenever some new big government boondoggle erupts in the typical corruption and waste that is government, conservatives rail against the misappropriation of powers that such boondoggles invariably mean. But when government isn’t doing something they want it to do and conservatives kvetch with […]
Want to hear the latest idiocy against the Arizona anti-illegal immigrant law dreamed up by open-border advocates and illegal alien supporters? Well, try this on for size: Arizona’s SB 1070 helps men beat their wives and girlfriends. No, really. That is their argument. A national organization called Legal Momentum has asked a federal court to […]
Unemployment insurance is probably one of the more useful government programs you’re going to run across. It’s designed to be temporary in nature, it often provides a useful benefit to people who actually pay taxes, and it fills a genuine need. A lot of people don’t have large cash reserves. That means, if they lose […]
Now, President Bush is nefariously insinuating his way onto Facebook and Youtube, after taking a quick rest from breaking up Al Gore’s marriage and from magically tricking President Obama into being an utterly incompetent failure. He recently released a video on Youtube, discussing his delving onto the Facebook scene and a little summary of what […]
The latest crazy attempt to reduce CO2 Thousands of tonnes of iron will be dumped at sea in an attempt to cut global warming by sucking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, it has been reported. The iron will lay vast amounts of phytoplankton, which absorbs CO2 as the grow, The Times reported. When the phytoplankton […]

Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Michelle Malkin, Charles Krauthammer, Mike Adams, George Will, Jonah Goldberg, Victor Davis Hanson : — they’re all at Townhall, along with a lot […]
If the election were tomorrow, which of the following candidates would you support?
He’s made his speech, visited the Gulf a few times, blamed a whole bunch of people, so, it is time for Obama to move on to other things that have importance to Himself. He had nothing scheduled this weekend, except some golf (we haven’t heard what he did Sunday, but, being Father’s Day, I’d give […]
CHURCHVILLE, VA–I can’t help but praise Michael Specter’s new book: Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet, and Threatens Our Lives. Specter warns that we live in a world where the leaders of African nations prefer to let their citizens starve to death rather than import genetically-modified food grains. Childhood vaccines have […]

Forget what the Senate did – the House is a whole ‘nother story: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi struck a combative tone tonight, rejecting the Medicare “doc fix” passed hastily through the Senate Friday until Senate Republicans allow a vote on jobs measures that have passed through the House. That’ll be a 21.3% cut to the […]

At The Hill, “Dems Mount Effort to Label Conservative GOPs as ‘The BP 114’.” Plus, watch Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel cling to Rep. Joe Barton like a life preserver: There’s been panic on both sides of the aisle, actually. It’s an election year. Barton got skittish, others in Congress jumped at the political opportunity, […]
