So, it’s the middle of the night and I’m finishing up a conversation with my friend of mine on GChat. Out of the blue, I get messaged by a girl I don’t know on Facebook. The pic’s attractive — which is odd. It’s odd because I know a lot of attractive women and one thing […]
It’s fascinating that most of the election attention this afternoon is focused on yesterday’s special election in Pennsylvania’s 12th congressional district. The New York Times wasted no time to advance the left’s meme going forward, “Democrats See Hope for Fall in Victory in House Race.” And not to be outdone is CSM, “PA-12: A template […]
There’s some attention this morning on the Tim Burns loss in PA-12. Steve Benen, hoping to play down this year’s anti-Obama fever, is pumping up the win by former John Murtha crony Mark Critz as “arguably the most important election” of the day. And “the world’s dumbest blogger” Matthew Yglesias is working the same beat: […]
Philadelphia voters had better get used to the intimidating presence of Black Panther goon Jerry Jackson Jr. at the polls. Here he is with his colleague King Samir Shabazz in 2008: Via Big Government, here’s his name on the ballot for the Ward Executive Committee (in the Democrat column, of course): Jackson and Shabazz were […]
Political pundits and poll watchers all across the nation are abuzz with the “tea party win” of Rand Paul, winner of the Kentucky primary for U.S. Senator. Mr. Paul was not the party favored candidate but was supported by Kentucky’s Tea Party movement and this is being hailed as something of a first, an example […]
Bureauweenies don’t always have the sharpest wits, but there’s no doubting their cleverness when it comes to “spreading the wealth around” from our pockets into their coffers. Here‘s a new revenue-generating scheme from Australia: Up to 50,000 people face a fine of $110 a day if they refuse to divulge information on their health and […]
Oh nooooos! Now, we’ll have even more polar bears and they’ll eat all the baby seals and that will be terrible: The hottest new trend in climate change may be global cooling, some researchers say. Contrary to the commonly held scientific conclusion that the Earth is getting warmer, Dr. Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology […]
Never have I been so glad to see a Senator be defeated as I am with Pennsylvania’s Arlen Specter. He emobodies all that is wrong with Congress. He claimed his seat for decades, and felt intitled to it. As Scott Brown said of Ted Kennedy’s seat, “it’s not his seat, it’s the people’s seat.” Well […]
When I interviewed Tim Burns of PA-12 losing fame [Murtha’s seat], I got the impression that the race was a long-shot, that the seat leaned left and that the polling showed that it was close or even in the Democrats favor. He seemed like a good candidate, a nice man, and no question, better for […]
The Left often pays lips service to, while actually doing nothing about, the: military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Yet, in regards to radical Islam, that is exactly what the left wants us to do. Don’t ask.: And, dear Allah, never tell! Instead, they prefer to demagogue American citizens, while “bitterly clinging” to their insane […]
Daring unhinged liberals to put their money where their mouths are The spat over Arizona’s new immigration law expanded Tuesday as a state official dared Los Angeles to follow through on its new boycott by agreeing to give up the 25 percent of electricity the city gets from Arizona sources. In a letter to Los […]
Actually, we should have killed Head Start a long time ago. Even a heavily massaged report by the Department of Health and Human Services admits that the program is essentially a waste of time: In sum, this report finds that providing access to Head Start has benefits for both 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds in the cognitive, […]
The barbaric Muslim practice of mutilating the genitals of little girls apparently is A’OK with the American Academy of Pediatrics, at least just a little bit, anyway. In an act of political correctness gone mad the AAP has announced that it thinks it’s a good idea to mollify Muslims and gloss over their barbaric practice […]
Yesterday, there were a few key primaries from around the country. Here’s a round-up: * Former Murtha aide Mark Critz handily beat Republican Tim Burns in a special election to fill Murtha’s seat. The final numbers look to be 52%-to-45%. That spread is a bit of a surprise because the polling looked like a toss-up […]
House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence and Conference Vice-Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers have been speaking out for weeks against the U.S. helping to bailout Greece.

50) Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can’t savor all the… little emotions. In… you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which […]
No. Seriously. Thomas Friedman actually goes there: Obama And The Oil Spill President Obama’s handling of the gulf oil spill has been disappointing. I say that not because I endorse the dishonest conservative critique that the gulf oil spill is somehow Obama’s Katrina and that he is displaying the same kind of incompetence that George […]
The only thing worse than a hipster slacker, is a radicalized hipster slacker. That, however, is exactly what the Obama administration and the current Democrats in Congress are. Witness the slacker promotion of Nancy Pelosi at work: “We see it as an entrepreneurial bill,” Pelosi said, “a bill that says to someone, if you want […]
The StarPress via the Associated Press: is reporting that a special election will be held within 60 days of GOP Rep. Mark Souder’s effective resignation date.: GOP State Senator Stutzman would be the most logical, popular, and conservative choice to replace Souder as he lives in Souder’s district.: Erick Erickson of RedState has always maintained his […]
You’ve probably heard about Obama’s representative Michael Posner apologizing to communist China for the human rights abuse committed by Arizona in passing SB 1070, a very mild attempt to enforce federal immigration law. It makes you wonder how the totalitarian thugs running China would deal with an invasion by millions of Mexicans. Their reaction to […]
Mark Steyn gives us an idea of why consolidation of medical information in federal hands is such a crucial part of ObamaCare. In Britain, postcards have been warning that the Tories will snatch away the healthcare entitlements of women with breast cancer. So as not to waste money printing out postcards for everyone, Labour is […]
The administration wants to reduce the sodium content of foods, that means your favorites, like bacon, may be destined for history (via Ben Domenech of New Ledger): The Washington Post reports that the Food and Drug Administration plans an unprecedented effort to reduce gradually Americans’ salt consumption.

So a freak and pedophile wants President Obama to be Dictator Obama: The “Scoop” director said it would be a cool idea for President Barack Obama to be dictator for for a few years. Why? So he could get things done without all the hassle of opposing views getting in the way. In an interview […]
Want to see what America’s future looks like if they : keep pursuing big government, high taxes, and reckless spending? Just look to Greece. Want to see what the future of America’s medical care will look like if Obamacare isn’t repealed? Look to Texas: Texas doctors are opting out of Medicare at alarming rates, frustrated by […]
The ignorance of Barack Obama and the people in his administration is just astounding. Eric Holder has criticized the Arizona immigration law although he admits he hasn’t read it. Now Janet Napolitano is saying it’s a “bad law enforcement.” Unfortunately, both Holder and Napolitano are following in the footsteps of Barack Obama who got the […]
Unsurprisingly, this story appears nowhere on any of the sites run by folks on the left, including all the rights and women’s rights groups, who have mostly ignored the plight of women in Muslim countries It was a scene Saudi women’s rights activists have dreamt of for years. When a Saudi religious policeman sauntered about […]
Ahead of multiple ethics violations Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd is retiring from his long-time Democrat held seat. The Conn. Democrat Party is keen to keep that seat and has proffered Conn. Attorney General Richard Blumenthal as the man to do it for them. But, Blumenthal has a tiny little problem: for three decades he’s told […]
Let me get this straight: we are constantly told that Liberals are just so much smarter than everyone else, yet, they keep chiming in on subjects that they haven’t bothered to learn the facts on. Remember when Obama said the Cambridge PD “acted stupidly”? Most failed to read the Stimulus and ObamaCare bills, and even […]
Despite the fact that immigration is vitally important to our nation’s future, it has become impossible to have an honest conversation about the issue. There’s simply too much fear of falsely being called a racist or of offending some key political demographic for people to discuss the subject. That has to change and it starts […]
This is a big victory for liberty, parents, and education. From the Lone Star Report: A Texas Attorney General’s opinion (GA-0774) issued today stated that school districts may not fund political action committees of teacher unions via payroll deductions. “Because the Legislature has not expressly or impliedly authorized school districts to process payroll deductions for […]
