John Boehner, Please Take My Advice!

Two years ago I interviewed Sen. John Cornyn at the Capitol. I asked him why we let Democrats control the health care debate (and this was long before the current debate). I said that Republicans should start talking about it right away and take control of the narrative. Cornyn didn’t heed my advice obviously, so […]

Clinton’s Legacy For The Children: The Clinton-Lewinsky Effect

It seems that President Clinton’s legacy involves a bit more than tired cigar jokes and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. CBS News reports: Most young adults agree penile-vaginal intercourse is sex, but less than one in five think that oral-genital contact counts as “having sex,” according to a 2007 survey of undergraduate college students. This […]

SRLC: Blogger Central (and Fantastic!)

Traveling to New Orleans for the Southern Republican Leadership Conference was a fun experience, in many ways because I spent time with some of the folks I interact with online.:  When you are a blogger or work in new media, it’s rare you get to put a face with an email address, Twitter handle or […]

Ecomoonbattery Threatens Los Angeles With Insolvency

A property tax take even larger than was expected has given Los Angeles a brief reprieve, but bankruptcy still looms in the near future of the country’s second largest city as a direct result of the environmentally correct but economically insane decrees of California’s moonbat rulers. Los Angeles Department of Water & Power has been […]

Obama Responds to Unemployment With More Green Cards

The ultimate objective of every Democrat policy is to increase the power of government, correspondingly lessening the autonomy of the individual. A favored means of accomplishing this is through liberalism’s main secondary objective: pushing the unemployment rate as high as possible. An employed American, like an armed American, isn’t helpless enough for the State’s liking. […]

SEIU Union Chief: My White Union Members are all Racists

On a panel talking about immigration on April 6, 2010, union chief Gerry Hudson of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) said that his white union members are “so fuc_ing rabidly racist” that is scares him. I am also a bit amused that this nut is shocked that there is “significant worker opposition to comprehensive […]

Exclusive: Herman Cain, Dark Horse?

Herman Cain knows how to give a great speech. He was also a delightful man to interview. Mr. Cain sat with Tabitha Hale and me for a few minutes. We had a great conversation on Saturday afternoon of the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. He discusses God’s will for his life. He also talks about Republicans […]

Anatomy of Leftist Unreason

I found a reply on my ChicagoNow blog that is so emblematic of the essential anti-Americanness of the left in our country that I thought I’d explore it in a full post instead of just replying to it on the original page on which it appeared. The comment was oozed out by some extremist named […]

Washington Post Ombudsman Misses Point

Today, in his guise as the Washington Post’s ombudsman, Andrew Alexander posted a discussion about the recent misreporting by the Old Media about the various “incidents” that supposedly occurred between the admittedly raucous tea party protesters and members of Congress in Washington, D.C., during the healthcare fight. But while Alexander finally makes some admissions on […]

What Was Wrong At The Southern Republican Leadership Conference?

What a weird conference. There. I said it. The Tea Party received the biggest cheers. The Republicans bashed their own party. Attendees were optimistic and cheerful. Politicians were purposeful and focused on 2010–a marked shift from the usual perspectives at SRLC which has been a conference that gives voters a first look at potential Presidential […]

Updated: Obama Goes to Soccer Game that Didn’t Exist?

Updated at the bottom: So, let’s talk this one out. The AP reports: About two hours before reporters were supposed to be in position to leave with the president, Obama left the grounds of the White House. Members of the press were told he was attending one of his daughter’s soccer games in northwest Washington, […]

Fee Free Carry On Baggage Is Apparently A “Right”

Apparently, having solved all of America’s problems, Chuckie Schumer has nothing better to do U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said Sunday he’s trying to get the federal government to prohibit airlines from charging a fee for carry-on baggage, calling it a “slap in the face to travelers.” The New York Democrat is making a personal plea […]

Avoiding The Term “Islamist Extremism”

Love him or hate him, Lieberman has the guts to tell the truth: Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on Sunday called the administration’s proposal to avoid the term “Islamic extremism” in national security references “absolutely Orwellian and counterproductive.” Lieberman revealed on “Fox News Sunday” that he had sent a letter to the president’s top counterterrorism adviser, […]

Washington Readies For Huge Jobs Summit

Oh, wait, did I say jobs? Sorry, my mistake, the economy and jobs are still being ignored, in favor of climate change, amnesty for illegals, and nuclear weapons The nation’s capital is gearing up for a very busy couple of days. President Obama opens a summit on nuclear security Monday with dozens of world leaders […]

Being On The Cusp Of A Gaming Addiction

Oddly enough, this brief article about Japanese housewives reminded me of, well….believe it or not…me a decade ago: I’ve never covered a subject that has raised as many questions as this,” says writer Yuki Ishikawa, speaking about her new book portraying the lives of housewives addicted to online games. …the more Ishikawa listened to the […]

Partying Like It’s 1994–Or 1946?

Restoring the economic growth of 1994 through 2006 and ending “The Great Recession” — an economy being dragged to a sclerotic halt by “the New New Deal” and its myriad of wasteful spending and top-down government controls, can and should be one of the goals of the next Congress, if indeed, the map is painted red in November.

GOP’s Ability to Maintain Fiscal Discipline Reflected by the Party’s Handling of Funds

Unfortunately, that leads to little confidence in the GOP’s ability to roll back the massive expanses in government spending that were passed throughout the Bush and Obama administrations.:  The GOP seems to have an all-around chronic problem with embezzlement and mishandling of funds and resources of late. The whole “Voyeur lesbian bondage club ‘scandal’” was […]

My Liberal Gulag

I was just thinking of the wisdom of Ike, describing in great detail the freedom/security continuum and all the implications of it, without ever once using the word “continuum.” From there I was reading FrankJ’s proposed Contract With America. I was in the middle of admiring that first point about throwing off a medium-sized building […]

Are You Ready For “Ecocide”?

Are you ready to be prosecuted in international court because you do not believe in the collapsing science of man caused global warming, er, climate change, er, whateverthehell they want to call it now? A campaign to declare the mass destruction of ecosystems an international crime against peace – alongside genocide and crimes against humanity […]

Tea Party crashers?

Via Instapundit, a bunch of lefties are making plans to discredit the Tea Parties by pretending to be people they aren’t. This is from CrashTheTeaParty.org: WHO WE ARE: A nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who are all sick and tired of that loose affiliation of racists, homophobes, and morons; who constitute the fake […]

Thank you so much, President Obama, for the tax cuts!

So lemme get this straight: President Obama signs several pieces of legislation that push the deficit into historically irresponsible territory; that put the U.S. on a fiscal par with Greece or, worse, California; that threaten our credit rating, and will restrict economic growth for generations to come… …not to mention that these same pieces of […]

Vegetarians Are Killing Mother Earth

That’s right; we red meat eaters aren’t the problem. And poor cows have been getting a bum rap. Via Don Surber: From the London Telegraph: “In the past environmentalists, from Lord Stern to Sir Paul McCartney, have urged people to stop eating meat because the methane produced by cattle causes global warming. However a new […]

Bart Stupak’s Disdain and Vengence Towards Americans

How divided this country has become. I have never heard such contempt and sophomoric talk against the American public by their own elected officials in my life. I guess they are learning from Teh One’s great oratory skills and his eloquent use of Alinsky’s tactics. Bart Stupak, who’s true colors are reflected in this video […]

Is Justice Stevens’ retirement really a bad thing for Democrats?

Ed Rollins — former Reagan advisor — thinks maybe so, but I’m not so sure. He writes: Justice John Paul Stevens’ widely anticipated announcement Friday morning of his retirement after 35 years on the court, gives the president and his party another challenge going into the fall elections. Who the president nominates and how ferocious […]

Sen. Tom Harkin (D) Has 12 Year Old Arrested

Say, let’s play “guess the party affiliation!” Twelve-year-old war protester Frankie Hughes was arrested late Wednesday for trespassing after she allegedly refused to leave U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin’s Des Moines office. Federal security officers told police that Gaunt was on the floor in Harkin’s office. When police went to the office, they also found Frankie […]

Grab a Box of Tissues; Soldiers Reunited with Loved Ones

Seriously. Grab some tissues. Yes, even you, fellas. The greatest force for good in the world matched with the greatest love and joy in the world. A video of a collection of clips of our soldiers surprising and being reunited with family members and loved ones, who also sacrifice by being parted from them and […]
