Oshkosh bygosh! (How often does one get to write that!) It appears there is a bit of a kerfuffle up in Oshkosh over a billboard A company represented by a Menasha lawyer has rented a billboard calling for President Barack Obama’s impeachment. It was paid for by an unnamed company represented by Tom Wroblewski. He […]
I don’t expect this to stick. I fully expect some left-wing, paid off judge to come to the aid of these union thugs. But… in Central Falls, Rhode Island School Superintendent Frances Gallo has fired an entire high school’s worth of teachers and administrators over a labor dispute. Central Falls High School is situated in […]
Just when you thought the TSA couldn’t possibly get more asinine, like the folks on the left, they will prove you wrong again and again Did you hear about the Camden cop whose disabled son wasn’t allowed to pass through airport security unless he took off his leg braces? Unfortunately, it’s no joke. This happened […]
My husband (and his video camera) didn’t make it inside this meeting in our neighborhood on Sunday, but the National Post‘s “free speech” beat reporter Joseph Brean did. Here’s what he saw and heard: These brief remarks were among the least controversial at a conference about the “Media War on Islam” on Sunday at a […]
As Americans have come to realize that the “science” behind global warming seems to mainly consist of fudging data and making doomsday prophecies in return for grant money, the wheels have started to come off Al Gore’s hobby horse. Of course, conservatives have not been shocked by this turn of events. That’s because unlike far […]
Getting ready to watch “The Bachelor” in a little while. So, let me share some day-after-Valentine’s blog stuff. From the Los Angeles Times, “Matchmakers’ Personal Touch Thrives Despite EHarmony, Match.com“: Like social networking, which had many dating industry experts inaccurately predicting the demise of paid Internet dating sites, Internet dating hasn’t killed matchmaking, but fed […]
Counterterrorism Czar John Brennan made a comparison this weekend that has landed him in hot water. Speaking at the Islamic Center at New York University on Saturday and apparently in response to a question about recidivism among the Gitmo inmates who had been released, he said the rate was about 20%. Ok, that’s arguable, but […]
I don’t celebrate “President’s Day.” I celebrate the presidents individually, not the whole gaggle of them at once. But I most certainly don’t celebrate George Washington, the father of our country, as just another president. These days, George Washington has been relegated to that “truth telling guy” to be seen on the one dollar bill […]
The following are the first group of Republicans for the House in the “Young Guns program” (seriously, could we try and not come up with such geeky type names for things?) , created last cycle by Congressmen Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Paul Ryan (R-WI), it is a challenger program run n by […]
Is President Obama a surprising gun rights supporter? He might be if the Chicago Tribune’s Steve Chapman is correct. And Chapman isn’t the only one. It seems to be shaping up to be the lefty complaint du jour this week. Reality, however, might say something different. Chapman makes a classic mistake that many people make […]
My headline is a statement of fact. Democrats don’t trust Americans because they are always looking for ways to cut them out of the process. Here we have another example of that axiom proven out. Illinois State Senator James Meeks, the Reverend Meeks, parades around as a man of the community, a man of the […]
The solution to our “key economic, social and environmental problems” turns out to be surprisingly simple, according to the British taxpayer-financed New Economics Foundation. All we have to do is stop engaging in so much productive activity. To solve inequality of outcomes between the industrious and the lazy, and to rescue the polar bears from […]
Remember Comrade Obama’s farcical friend, Harvard’s professional race-baiter Henry Louis Gates? Police questioned Gates when he broke into his own home, resulting in a hebephrenic tantrum by the esteemed professor of victimology, whose behavior was so out of line that he had to be restrained. Chairman Zero, while admittedly not even knowing what happened, reflexively […]
Apocalypse 2010 is continuing for the Democrats as Evan Bayh has now announced his retirement. Fox News is reporting that Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) will retire in 2010, dealing a blow to Democrats’ electoral prospects for the upcoming midterms. The Democratic retirement wave has been limited mostly to the House (where more Republicans have actually […]
Could the WaPo undersell the man-made scientific disaster that is the Global Warming hoax any more? I think not. Tom Maguire takes WaPo down. As AJ Strata notes today,”I see an avalanche of bad news coming for the alarmists.” [He has a all the details, go read it.] AJ concludes: So what have we learned […]
* If the Tea Parties had about 50% less minorities show up, they might be as white as Kos’s Netroots Nation. * A nation that believes it can run up huge deficits forever rather than cut benefits for its citizens is in deep denial * The average lib thinks that if we’re nice enough, we […]
On a somewhat random note, I thought to “google” the word liberals . When the auto-suggest popped up, I was pleasantly amused to see that out of the top ten searches beginning with the word, half were neutral and half were… not so positive: Did everyone catch that the second-most searched term in Google is […]
You know those wall street fat cats the Democrats are always howling about? A lot more than Democrats were howling about the $17 million bonus awarded to JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon and the $9 million bonus for Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein after our taxpayer money bailed them out. Here is what […]
Thomas Sowell’s new book is called, Intellectuals and Society and I was pleased to have the opportunity to interview him about the book late last week. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! All right, and right off the bat let me ask you about a quote that showed up at […]
To understand the limitations of law enforcement when it comes to terrorism, it’s instructive to look at this issue on a small scale. Did you see the video of the girl getting her head kicked in my malicious teenagers in the Seattle, WA bus station? That’s distressing enough–seeing security guards watch the assault happen and […]
Another day, another “school shooting.” That we Canadians have per capita almost as many of these things as Americans do — matter of fact (and fiction), we invented them, long before Columbine— we smug Canadians (and our chief enabler Michael Moore) need to finally drop the “gun control” crap. And start looking at what it […]
I always enjoy watching climate alarmists jump on that ride at the amusement part, the one that spins you around and around and around, especially if it is the type where the bottom drops out. Now, in an article entitled Missteps By Climate Scientists Threatens Climate Change Agenda (which rather proves that it is all […]
Although Republicans far surpass Democrats in being more aligned with the Tea Party movement, I feel it’s important to remind the GOP that the anger being felt by Americans is directed at both parties for a reason. At it’s most basic level the Tea Party movement is about three things. One, a a limited constitutional […]
Remember back in the day, during the run-up to the 2006 and 2008 elections, when we were treated to a bevy of stories about Republicans not wanting George Bush to campaign with them? Well, just a mere 13 months into Obama’s presidency, and Democrats are already rebuffing The Smartest Man In The World: Some Democrats […]
CHURCHVILLE, VAKL – The UN’s climate change panel is reeling from a series of scandals about unsupported claims in its 2007 report. India has documented that the Intergovernmental Panel’s claim of Himalayan glaciers disappearing by 2035 was mere speculation–and has now been proven false. The 2007 IPCC report claimed global warming could cut rain fed […]
First, they came for some random citizens that I didn’t know – and I did nothing. Then, they came for Treacher – and I said nothing (except for blogging about it and twittering some stern messages!) Next, they came for Peggy Fleming. Before they come for me, I must speak up. Joe Biden’s motorcade was […]
NOTE: This is the third and best installment of Malcolm & Melissa so far. Andrew Malcolm of the LA Times Top of the Ticket Blog and I will be doing a weekly podcast every Sunday for an hour. I hope you make it part of your routine. It’s a lot of fun! Andrew and Melissa […]
One of my favorite parts of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown this year was the “Come on, man!” segment: the talking heads would highlight something stupid (or funny) from the previous week and tag whoever was responsible with that line. “Come on, man!” I’m thinking exactly that about some of my conservative brethren right now, because […]
Responding to Puff, the Magic Biden’s preposterous remarks from earlier this week in which VP Biden suggested that Iraq could be one of Obama’s “greatest achievements,” former Veep Dick Cheney didn’t pull any punches: Former Vice President Dick Cheney, in an exclusive appearance on ABC News’ “This Week,” offered a sharp critique of the Obama […]
And yeah, I saw that headline in that British paper about how the scientific “consensus” is starting to swing the other way. Bunk, says I. I’ve got proof. See, I walked outside today. Coat hanging open, no gloves. And I thought to myself: wow, it’s pretty warm out. Bam! Global warming! Actual temperature: 26 degrees. […]
