As you may have heard, yesterday there were protests at universities in several states over tuition hikes and funding cuts for schools. Well, University of Washington student, Nick Jacob, headed out to get some snaps of the UW protest and got an absolutely hilarious shot: Nick’s comment? “Pure irony. The students who are cutting class […]
Most people would say the success of Jersey Shore is a clear signal that the human race should just pack it in and hand the planet over to the dolphins, but for Nicole “Snooki” Palazzi it’s all good news… — Agent Bedhead If none of the advice given by ACORN on those videotapes constitutes conspiracy […]
The Washington Post reports (via HotAir) that Kahlid Sheik Mohammed will now be getting a military tribunal: President Obama’s advisers are nearing a recommendation that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, be prosecuted in a military tribunal, administration officials said, a step that would reverse Attorney General Eric H. […]
Erick Erickson writes a provocative piece tonight: It started mid-February with a hagiographic tale of woe in the Obama administration and how Rahm Emanuel is the hero and adult in the room. A week later it followed with another look into the White House with Obama as the wimp and Rahm as the muscle. Earlier […]
First-term Democratic Congressman Debbie Halvorson (Ill., 14th District) was the recipient of $60,000 in political donations from the ethically compromised New York Representative Charlie Rangel, recently deposed Chairmen of the House Ways and Means Committee. Rangel was found guilty of multiple violations of House ethics rules that have gone on for decades and because of […]
One thing the Founding Fathers realized is that a democracy can destroy itself through the unlimited expansion of government. That’s part of the reason why we have a 10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or […]
At last we have an answer to the question, “Where the hell is Secretary Napolitano?” Up she pops like a puzzled prairie dog to reveal once again that she has no clue: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told senators it is a national security concern that people from countries with ties to terrorism could ‘potentially’ […]
Chicago-style politics once again coming home to roost. The Weekly Standard is reporting that Obama is now selling judgeships for health care votes: Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to […]
Remember when Florida Congressman Mark Foley was outed for sexual misconduct with male pages in the House of Representatives in 2006? You’ll recall that the Democrats and the Old Media and the left were in some high dudgeon over the claim that Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert knew all about it before the […]
Are you a member of the U.S. House of Reps or a Senator that needs some “convincing” that selling out your constituents and implementing a socialist take over of healthcare is a good idea? Well, President Wheeler-Dealer has a deal for you. You’ve heard of the Cornhusker Kickback where a Senator from a western state […]
So, how much chatter are you hearing about Eric Massa today? Maybe so little that you’re asking, “Who the heck’s Eric Massa?” He’s a netroots endorsed congressman from New York and he has apparently gotten caught up in a little Mark Foley/Larry Craig action: First-term Rep. Eric Massa announced Wednesday that he will not seek […]
A whistleblower has stepped forward in the largest and most corrupt enterprise in our country’s history. The enterprise is the federal government; the whistleblower is South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, who warns that the monstrous cancer metastasizing out of DC plans to place American citizens below animals in an appallingly greedy land grab: A secret […]
First off, here’s the two-step Democrats want to execute on health care: 1) The House passes the bill that has already been approved by the Senate. At that point, Obama can sign the bill and it’s the law. However, ideally they will also pass a 2nd bill via reconciliation. 2) The House and Senate pass […]
Obama gave his 35th speech on Health Care yesterday. He says that the country deserves and “up or down vote.” He can’t even bring himself to say “reconciliation.” Maybe that’s because in 2007 he emphatically said that they would never use it because one couldn’t govern that way. You’ve got to break out of what […]
Here we go: Darwin Foes Add Warming to Targets Critics of the teaching of evolution in the nation’s classrooms are gaining ground in some states by linking the issue to global warming, arguing that dissenting views on both scientific subjects should be taught in public schools. My first thought when I caught the headline and […]
Surprisingly, they are actually partially correct Watching your government at work can be an appalling spectacle. Politicians posture and bicker, and not much gets done. It’s gotten so bad–or at least seems so bad–that pundits are beginning to wonder if the system is broken in some fundamental way and to cast about for a big […]
Yesterday we went to a small village called Citae outside of Jacmel. The journey there was an adventure in and of itself — there really aren’t any roads by American standards, more like paths wide enough for a car to get through. We drove through 3 rivers to get there, passing huts filled with women […]
Yesterday morning was spent at the Sisters of Charity orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti. I was told going in that they follow the “Mother Teresa” model — in other words, they only take the poorest of the poor and the sickest of the sick. We were going specifically to hold babies. The babies we were visiting […]
When Obama says that his Obamacare healthcare plan isn’t a big government take over of healthcare he really is simply lying outright to the nation (well, let’s be honest, it’s not really his plan because the Democrats wrote it and he had no real input into it). Here is a list of 159 new programs, […]
Ecomoonbats are closing in on the cutting edge technology seen in fictional Bedrock, which seems to have inspired their vision of utopia. Behold the HumanCar: No wait, that’s not it. The real one isn’t quite advanced enough to keep the rain out: Like the Flintstones’ vehicle, the HumanCar runs on people power. At first glance […]
The liberal media’s newest meme is to claim that the tea party movement is made up exclusively of John Birchers, militia types, racists, and “birthers.” Politico, for instance, had an extensive story about how legitimate conservatives are coming to realize that they’ll have to conduct a Buckley styled purge of the extremists if they expect […]
The Guardian, official mouthpiece of Britain’s pointy-headed establishment Left, can’t help but admit that the Nobel Prize-bedecked Al Gore is a figure of fun. Referring to the Goracle’s recent desperate rant in the friendly New York Times, Guardian contributor Dan Kennedy (a Boston journalism professor) laments that Prince Albert has not only spent his political […]
Cyrus Nowrasteh director of the movie the Stoning of Soraya M. talks Iran, feminism and women, being a conservative in Hollywood and more. Ed Morrissey of HotAir joins Melissa in the second half to talk presidential contenders for 2012 and the Tancredo statement that Sarah Palin is not fit for the Presidency. The DVD version […]
President Barack Obama won’t let health care die. Why? Because he’s the president and according to research, smarter than you. Andrew and Melissa also discuss the many camps within the White House and they are all tied into the Chicago machine. Al Gore rears his head in the New York Times. Finally, a little talk […]
Yesterday, Republican Representative Paul Broun, of Georgia no less, played the Jersey card. He not only invoked Snooki, of the Mtv show Jersey Shore, but also “The Situation.” You go, Pauly! Broun: Snookie has more substance than Obama’s bipartisanship “offer” (Washington, D.C.) U.S. Representative Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) released the following statement after President Barack […]
President Obama is not matching up with Senator Obama. That’s kinda surprising given how short a time the President spent as Senator. Well, he was there long enough to be a total hypocrite: Under The Rules, The Reconciliation Process Does Not Permit That Debate. Reconciliation Is Therefore The Wrong Place For Policy Changes … In […]
Sarah Palin helped Jay Leno last night…he should start making Obama jokes. People might actually watch his show. But I digress. Here’s Sarah’s appearance: While she was being funny on Leno, she also had a conversation with him. From the LA Times Top of the Ticket Andrew Malcolm: The pair, both of whom have taken […]
Anthony Watts catches an interesting study Now that we have reached the end of the meteorological winter (December-February,) Rutgers University Global Snow Lab numbers (1967-2010) show that the just completed decade (2001-2010) had the snowiest Northern Hemisphere winters on record. The just completed winter was also the second snowiest on record, exceeded only by 1978. […]
Over at the New Ledger, Ben Domenech interviews Rick Perry and muses over Perry’s success. He says: It’s a funny thing how political predictions work. When Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison declared her candidacy for the governorship of Texas, few would’ve bet against her – popular, moderate, and established, the ex-cheerleader who loves the cameras seemed […]
