Happy Friday! Here’s an interesting story from yesterday that I just never got around to The great mystery surrounding the historic health care bill is how the corporations that provide coverage for most Americans — coverage they know and prize — will react to the new law’s radically different regime of subsidies, penalties, and taxes. […]
Right Wing News emailed more than 260 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to answer 10 questions about the Arizona immigration law, illegals, and legal immigration. Representatives from the following 50 blogs responded: 101 Dead Armadillos, The Absurd Report, Ace of Spades HQ, All That Is Necessary, The American Princess, And Rightly So, Argghhhh!, Basil’s Blog, […]
Liberals, who are always looking for any reason to grab people’s guns, have come up with a new idea. Here’s Gail Collins at the New York Times making the pitch: There seems to be a strong sentiment in Congress that the only constitutional right suspected terrorists have is the right to bear arms. “I think […]
Absent Israeli action, no one should base their future plans on anything except coping with a nuclear Iran. — John Bolton Even if containment and deterrence might be more successful against Iran than just suggested, nuclear proliferation doesn’t stop with Tehran. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and perhaps others will surely seek, and very swiftly, their […]
I think Whoopi Goldberg has as much hair inside her head as she has outside it. What else explains the harebrained thinking she exhibited (again) on her coffee klatcher’s show The View on May 4? Goldberg attempted to explain why she supports abortion. It’s because, you see, if parents can’t kill their kids in utero […]
California schools really do hate America. In California apparently you are a bad little boy if you wear to school clothing adorned with the good ol’ Red, White and Blue. You get thrown out, in fact. At least that is what happened to several patriotic American boys that attend Comunidad Educativa Vivo Roble in California… […]
Out of fear of Muslims, Cowardly Central doesn’t dare so much as to show an image of Mohammed or even mention his name. Yet it is launching a new cartoon series dedicated to ridiculing Christianity: As part of the network’s upfront presentation to advertisers (full slate here), Comedy Central is set to announce “JC,” a […]
Straight out of Boulder, a moonbat solution to the Gulf oil spill: “The basic concept is to try and get as many people to visualize that the valve is actually functioning and is working and closing,” said Carl Fuermann, a staff member in the University of Colorado’s Registrar Office. The Coast Guard estimates that 200,000 […]
Ben Domenech writes a good post over at the New Ledger about how the Massachusetts health care system got gamed and Obamacare will too: A new report from the Congressional Research Service, released to Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, details the near certainty that this situation will be gamed by the American people to an unprecedented […]
The Washington Post reports some very interesting demographic information: Women are having children older and there are more women over 35 than teenage women having babies. What will this mean? Here’s their guess: The statistics reflect far-reaching changes for women in society, affecting their decisions on when to marry and start families. The average age […]
We all know of the great slights that Hollywood deals out to the American right. We see them all the time. From the TV shows that casts Republicans as villains, the movies that make Christians out to be hypocrites or even outright evil. Traditional motherhood and fatherhood also find constant ridicule at the hands of […]
-By Warner Todd Huston Rasmussen is reporting that GOP candidate Mark Kirk is currently leading Democrat Alexi “the Mob Banker” Giannoulias in the race for Barack Obama’s Illinois Senate seat but his isn’t the only one. Kirk now attracts 46% support in Illinois’ race for the U.S. Senate, up from 41% in early April. Support […]
I can’t tell you how I hate the illegal immigration debate. As someone who has great respect for the Mexican American community, has close Hispanic friends, and have personally helped a friend and employee become a citizen, I hate how it divides us. I hate how so many try to make it about Hispanics v. […]
Another day, another push by Democrats to control something In a move that will stoke a battle over the future of the Internet, the federal government plans to propose regulating broadband lines under decades-old rules designed for traditional phone networks. The decision, by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski, is likely to trigger a vigorous […]
Mark Steyn is one of the best columnists in the business and he’s also eminently quotable. So, with that in mind, I decided to put together : a list of his best quotes from his 2009 columns. Enjoy! After all, when President Sarkozy and other European critics bemoan Israel’s “disproportionate” response, what really are they saying? […]
Nancy Pelosi said we would have to pass the bill to find out what was in it, and, unshockingly, easter eggs are still showing up. Not the cool kind which gives you a secret level or a historical slugger, but the kind that takes away all your weapons or wipes out all your game stats […]
You have probably never heard these words and will probably never hear them again, but this article at Cracked is one of the best pieces of life advice I’ve ever read on the web. Our society tends to focus on whirlwind successes. The Paris Hiltons, the person grasping: his : 15 minutes of fame, the lottery […]
The night the NYC car bomb attempt went down, I was so grateful that, once again, the diligence of the public and the swift action of the NYC Police thwarted yet another potential attack. Shortly thereafter, while still incredibly grateful obviously, I became angry. I’ve had it. Firstly, because the current strategy of homeland security […]
Hat tip to The People’s Cube for the graphic.
* Why the MSM is deservedly dying in this country: CBS Headlines like, “Faisal Shahzad’s Motive Shrouded in Mystery.” * As a general rule in politics, the least racist people are regularly accused of being racists by actual racists. * IMO, the Godhatesf@gs nuts have no 1st Amendment right to protest a funeral for the […]
I posted the large thumbnail to the sidebar at my blog on Monday. And I’m getting excited to read Aaron Klein’s new book, The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists. Klein discussed his work with Sean Hannity last night: Cross-posted from American Power.
The business geniuses in Congress deliver value to shareholders: Freddie Mac is asking for $10.6 billion in additional federal aid after posting a big loss in the first three months of the year. It’s another sign that the taxpayer bill for stabilizing the housing market will keep mounting. The McLean, Va.-based mortgage finance company has […]
The media loved painting Bush as being for “Big Oil.” But it looks like Bush isn’t the only President that is all about “Big Oil.” And by “Big Oil,” I mean “Big Money.” Politico reports that Obama has been the biggest recipient of British Petroleum donations over the past 20 years. What did BP get […]
I’m doing the Jaz McKay show at 4:07 PM EST. You can listen here.
Rather than wallow in disappointment that the Times Square bomber unsurprisingly turned out to be a Muslim terrorist rather than a patriot as he had publicly hoped, Mayor Mike has wasted no time establishing official priorities in the aftermath of the narrowly avoided bloodbath: Mayor Michael Bloomberg says New York City “will not tolerate any […]
Toronto cabdrivers had better hope the fizzling global warming crisis makes a comeback — otherwise they’re likely to freeze to death in their cars, after totalitarian moonbats have made it illegal to keep the motor running: In a close race with the United Nations for the most ridiculous decision of the month, Toronto’s city council […]
“Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane proves once again that while the denizens of Hollywood might be good at acting, or singing, or TV and movie making, they most certainly have no clue about history or contemporary politics. They are utterly illiterate about the world around them because of the insular bubble in which they live. […]
Yesterday the State of California arrested several pairs of American Bald Eagles that researchers released into the wild near the Channel Islands. Authorities charged the birds with conspiracy to kill endangered island foxes and rare seabirds for purposes of eating them. The state’s case was built on the research of Seth D. Newsome, a researcher […]
