But is that a bug? Or is it a feature?

Earth Hour Is Today, Yet Another Worthless Symbolic Hissy Fit

Another year, another single hour the climate alarmists dedicate to “promoting awareness” of man caused global warming, er, climate change. Which would seem rather tepid, considering their religious cult has been crashing like the Hindenburg for over six months. But, hey, a single hour spent being “carbonly aware” is the best they can do, since […]

Biden Has Disappointed The President With His Cussing

Rather than end the day with a palate cleanser, let’s start the day with a bit of political related humor, shall we? When Joe Biden whispered something indiscreet in the president’s ear, the president was deeply offended. The president, that is, of the “No Cussing Club.” “I was really, really disappointed that our vice president […]

I’ll Gladly Take The Constitution Over Precedent

The LA Times gloats that precedent is against the states seeking to protect their sovereignty in the face of Obamacare unconstitutional onslaught. Reporting from Washington – Lawsuits from 14 states challenging the constitutionality of the new national healthcare law face an uphill battle, largely due to a far-reaching Supreme Court ruling in 2005 that upheld […]

Karl Marx and Postmodernism

It’s been quite some time since I read Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto. Maybe I should read it again, or at least Walter Russell Mead thinks so, “Literary Saturday: The Communist Manifesto.” What’s interesting is Mead’s counterfactual asking what Marx and Engels would think of today’s academic postmodern Marxists: I don’t think […]

A Solution to the Sexting Crisis ™

I’ve had family visiting and have been a bit out of the loop. They left this morning, so I finally settled into the divot on the couch formed by my unhealthy, red meat-eating arse to catch up on the news this morning. Instead, I was subjected to what seemed like 3 hours worth of hand […]

Legislators Legislate. It’s What They Do.

When I send a patient for a surgical consult, I expect a surgical answer. A surgeon does surgery. It’s what they do. They cut and fix and see the world through the lens of a scalpel. It’s not right or wrong. It just is. You don’t go to a surgeon to sue a business partner […]

Planned Parenthood Corrupts Girl Scouts at UN Conference

Girl Scouts must be as sweet and innocent as they look. Otherwise, why would Planned Parenthood go out of its way to corrupt them at a UN conference?

Government Is Not Our Friend

Small-government conservatives have always been suspicious of government. Whether city, county, state or federal all government is looked on as a troublesome but necessary evil that must be tightly controlled and oft times opposed. This anti-government attitude, of course, is a complete mystery to socialist Democrats. They just don’t understand why conservatives mistrust government and […]

Here’s MSNBC yapper Ed Schultz on his radio show, sharing his philosophy regarding freedom of speech for more popular competitors: Hell, if we’re going to be socialists, let’s be socialists all across the board. That is, why stop at nationalizing the auto industry, the mortgage industry, health insurance, student loans, et cetera? Let’s also nationalize […]

David Frum Lost His Gig With AEI: Boo-Hoo

There was a time when I respected David Frum. He was an ex-Bush speechwriter, he had a gig at National Review, and I was impressed enough with his views on the foreign policy front to interview him. However, Frum apparently got tired of being a small fish in a big pond over at NR and […]

Are we fighting a losing battle?

I came to DC almost 7 months ago. Sometimes it feels like an eternity. Sometimes it feels like I’m still not really here… like I’m just visiting a place I never really wanted to be in the first place. I hate Washington, DC and what it represents. I walked through this city as a tourist […]
