Yes, I know, you’re shocked. How could this be? Over at the Wall Street Journal, Daniel Klein tells us why Liberals/Progressives are not smarter than a 5th grader Who is better informed about the policy choices facing the country–liberals, conservatives or libertarians? According to a Zogby International survey that I write about in the May […]
Both the Left and Right are outraged at the latest broken campaign promise from Barack Obama is his support to lift the 26-year ban on commercial whaling that was put in place by, wait for it, Ronald Reagan. : From the HuffPo piece: The IWC proposal would actually reward the whaling abuses of Japan, Norway, and […]
A new documentary film is debuting this week entitled, “The Lottery.” The film highlights the ever failing public education system we have in America today and how our children’s future is being seriously harmed by greedy, uncaring teachers unions. As the trailer says, these unions are protecting failure in our schools… From the website:

Since I wrote and submitted my piece on Helen Thomas comparing the firestorm of condemnation that occurred immediately after entertainer Don Imus made his race-tinged comments about the Rutgers basketball players to the relative kid gloves with which Helen Thomas is being handled over her outrageous anti-Israeli comments a few new things have occurred in […]
What an ignominious ending to a career for Helen Thomas. From the Hill: Helen Thomas announced Monday that “she is retiring, effective immediately,” according to a statement from Hearst newspapers. Her decision comes after her controversial remarks about Israel hit the blogosphere. She later apologized for her comments, saying she “deeply regretted” making them. White […]
Well, there’s one way to get a male’s attention: make sure he doesn’t make the Top Twenty Hottest Conservative guys (in case you guys think you don’t want to see that nonsense, I would suggest that you look at the judges). I have received direct messages, emails and got regaled by the bitter Matt Lewis […]
If you are a political blog reader, you couldn’t have missed veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas’ remarks about Jews and Israel. A rabbi video taped Helen saying that Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine” and ‘ go home” to Germany and Poland. On Friday Helen apologized for her remarks. She didn’t show […]
TigerHawk compares Helen Thomas to Al Campanis, suggesting the former’s comments were even more odious. But like Campanis after Ted Koppel’s interview, she’s on the way out now, “Veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas retires following controversial remarks.” Check also Ed Morrissey, “White House blasts absent Thomas in today’s briefing?.” Ed’s got some of the […]
When I first saw Steve Poizner campaign in January he spoke after Chuck DeVore and, with little interest, some folks starting wandering away. This pic’s from the Irvine tax day tea party in April. More at the Los Angeles Times, “GOP Candidates Put Personal Touch on Final Pitches.” Also, at Inland Empire News, “Polls Give […]
Yes, really. That’s what he’s arguing, If fiscal stimulus is so great, then why hasn’t the Obama administration’s massive stimulus program helped improve the economy? Well, via Mark Thoma, the answer is that there hasn’t been any net fiscal stimulus, all the Obama administration’s efforts plus the automatic stabilizers have done is mitigate the contractionary […]
We’re going to have to come up with a less racially insensitive name for black holes. The term has caused trouble before, and now it has again: A graduation card sold at local stores has been pulled from shelves after a civil rights group raised concerns about the content. The group claims the card’s micro-speaker […]
My friend Cara Ellison has done a post on the mysterious Case of the Too Hot Lady. Her name’s Debrahlee Lorenzana and she claims Citibank fired her because she was just TOO HOT, Dealbreaker reports on Debrahlee Lorenzana who was fired from Citi for, she says, being so hot she distracted the men. Not so, […]
Despite punishing 107° heat, an impressive crowd turned out across from the Arizona State Capitol Saturday for the Phoenix Rising demonstration in support of countermoonbattery, American sovereignty, the rule of law, and in particular, SB1070. Not even the blazing sun could melt the festive spirits. As with most Tea Party type events, there was no […]
By now if you are a political junkie you know that the Queen of the White House press corps, Helen Thomas, was heard to voice the anti-Semitic sentiment that all the Jews in Israel should “go back to Germany and Poland” where they came from. So far, the tepid response from the oh, so racially […]
It’s time for me to rank my favorite blogs for the 2nd quarter of 2010. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I like what I see when I get there, how […]
CHURCHVILLE, VA–The sun is currently producing fewer sunspots than it has in more than a century. Florida State researchers tell us this may predict bad U.S. hurricane seasons. They say that when the sunspot numbers peak, within the (roughly) 11-year sunspot cycle, the U.S. has less than a 25 percent chance of being hit with […]
For a party that extolled the virtues of Abraham Lincoln, proclaiming Obama his modern day equivalent, the Democrats sure have forgotten that whole “by the People, for the People,” thing: Democrats Skip Town Halls to Avoid Voter Rage The reception that Representative Frank Kratovil Jr., a Democrat, received here one night last week as he […]
Well, this guy is a major creep no matter. But his actions make me wonder if he is just a no good girlfriend beater, or the perfectly obvious outcome of left-wing philosophy and therefore quite logical. A Seattle area man named Graydon Smith was rather fond of beating up his pregnant 19-year-old girlfriend. The 31-year-old […]
More than half this “news article” could have come straight from the DNC, as the post attempts to tell us all these bad things about the Arizona anti-illegal immigrant legislation: Arizona leaders lament as state’s image takes beating with new immigration law When state Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D) travels outside Arizona, she hears the same […]
Originally posted at NewsReal: On June 1st, Right Wing News posted their “20 Hottest Conservative Women in New Media (2010 Edition).”: Their first edition was last year and it was born in response to Playboy’s Guy Cimbalo and his disgusting hit piece on conservative women. His article (term used loosely) was a list which was comprised […]
It doesn’t seem that hard to both honor the dead and cherish our exceptionalism, but of course it’s President Reagan: “Remarks at a United States-France Ceremony Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Normandy Invasion, D-day June 6, 1984.” I admire how the video editor made sure to include Reagan’s approach the podium. No arrogance or […]
It happened about 3 or 4 times. Each time I mentioned that I’d driven out from California for yesterday’s “Phoenix Rising” event, I got a hugely enthusiastic thank you. Folks really appreciated that I’d taken the time to rally with them in support of SB 1070. That’s Tony Katz at the viddy, by the way. […]
Another one of those violent, hateful Tea Party Events the left hates:
With Memorial Day weekend signifying a semi-defeat of the Obama Administration as they admitted offering a position to Democrat Senatorial candidate Joe Sestak in exchange for dropping out of his race against Democrat Golden Boy Arlen Specter, before the event could even attempt to reach the news archives a related admission was raised.: Former House […]
The Miranda Rights and what they entail has been a topic of both legal and political debate.: However, recently there has been a development in the aspect of when the right to speak is waived.: In the recent Supreme Court decision involving the criminal case of convicted murderer Van Chester Thompkins’ questioning, the Court determined […]
Bada Bing, New Jersey’s Governor Christie does it again. This time, calling out the horrible and corrupt teacher’s union, NJEA. (video after the jump) Each time he speaks, I’m even more impressed than the last time. Every speech is chock-full of delicious common sense and straight talk. He started off his tenure as Governor by […]
On February 17, 2010, we learned that: all doubts had, in fact, been resolved with respect to the economic policy of FDR Slim: Today is the one-year anniversary of the landmark stimulus bill which most economists agree has staved off a second Great Depression. The evidence that the stimulus has worked is overwhelming – the New […]
It’s a tear jerker, folks. Another in a long series by the supporters of law breakers: Amid Arizona immigration protests, a new generation dreams of the Dream Act Among the 10,000 or so protesters who gathered in front of the state Capitol here last weekend under a scorching sun, one group stood out. Despite the […]
Cross-posted from RedState: I didn’t address State Sen. Jake Knotts’ “raghead” comments earlier, because I had little to say to the refuted man, save for some rather colorful words. Today, he proved himself even more odious than even first thought. Via Hot Air (emphasis theirs): He claims she is hiding her religion and he wants […]
