Pia Varma, an American of Indian background… not not a redskin, an actual Indian… wants you to send her to Congress, Pennsylvania. And so she has announced her run for Pennsylvania’s First District Congressional seat (Philadelphia). She tells us that her grandfathers were fighters in the Indian Independence movement of the 1960s, though she was […]
I don’t use the old-fashioned term “liberal” to describe today’s political left, and while my view on this has been firmly grounded in abstract ideological thinking (which some, in futility, have challenged), it’s interesting we have some confirmation of such leftist identification in David Paul Kuhn, discussing Gallup’s new poll, “Majority of Dems View Socialism […]
1) Denial: This bill is popular! Look at this Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll — it says everyone loves it! Passing this bill is the key to the Democrats doing well in 2010! 2) Anger: You Republicans are lying about the bill and the people who don’t like it are just too stupid to understand how […]
Retard-gate is growing, apparently, and it’s coming to the Connecticut Senate race over the mistreatment of a developmentally disabled wrestling character that Senate candidate Linda McMahon’s entertainment company created in 2004. For those of you unaware, wrestling queen Linda McMahon, former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, is running for the Senate in Connecticut against conservative […]
Earlier this week, I noted that Meg Whitman, who’s running for Governor of California, was slapping Sarah Palin fans in the face by hiring Mike Murphy, one of the sleazy McCain aides who trashed her after the election. In that post, I pointed out that campaign staff are essentially disposable on a campaign: Now staffers […]
Not all moonbat technology is particularly sophisticated. Sometimes the genius lies in its very simplicity. For example, the Guilt Fork manages to inflict the self-hating, cowed mentality befitting a liberal simply by making the tines different lengths and stamping them with the names of countries both successful and “oppressed.” Yanko Design explains: Statistics in books […]
Okay, following up on my post from last night, “Newt Gingrich in the O.C.!,” unlike many other politicians I’ve met, Newt Gingrich seemed like a cold, self-superior political actor. There was no sense of inclination toward glad-handing. In contrast, videos of Sarah Palin at her book signings show a potential candidate eager to engage her […]
Yesterday our Republican minority leader in the House of Representatives proved that he still isn’t seeing the problem with the GOP. He’s living in denial, at least he is if we can take his words at face value. On the Mike Gallagher radio show yesterday, leader Boehner insisted that there is no substantive ideological differences […]
The Atlantic’s Megan McArdle had a great piece pinpointing exactly why unions don’t work, especially for education. Her piece headlined “How Unions Work,” really brings it home why unions can’t agree to merit pay for teachers. McArdle’s post was prompted by a piece by left-winger Matthew Yglesias whose post is meaningless and I won’t go […]
Well, this is the big weekend. I’m seeing tweets coming from the gathering. Nothing splashy yet–just lots of pictures of a very up-scale hotel. Luke Obrien of AOLNews has a fascinating exposé on Phillips. Here’s a snippet: Phillips’ big idea was a social network for conservatives. It would eventually be called Tea Party Nation. In […]
As our liberal rulers drive the economy toward total collapse with their extravagant spending, you have to wonder where all the money goes. It’s not easy to waste trillions of dollars without producing any tangible benefit. Alan Rosenfeld provides an example of how it’s done: A Queens teacher who collects a $100,000 salary for doing […]
Sigh. Global warming: Shoreline changes as planet warms Polls indicate an alarming percentage of Americans have doubts about global warming, even to the point of suspecting that scientists are lying about the data. Much of the bluster centers on whether or not it has been colder this year than last. Instead of relying on thermometers, […]
Doug Heye from US News and World Report does the yeoman’s work, and provides proof why the Obamanuts have lost that loving feeling: Forget Polls, Here’s Tangible Proof the Obama Honeymoon is Over One sign that Washington, D.C., had been home to Obama Mania was the number of independent retailers selling all sorts of Obama […]
But don’t rule out Republican suicide. Their impulse is to work across the aisle and make deals. Holding the line causes them psychic pain. Guys like Lyndsey Graham and John McCain and Olympia Snowe want, so badly, to be helpy helpers — the Democrats’ legislation is just too damn bad to do it. — Melissa […]
That’s the buzz going around some liberal blogs about a Rasmussen poll which claims that a plurality of Republicans polled would rather see tax cuts and a deficit than a balanced budget and tax increases (one supposes the increases would be used to balance it. The history of our government says otherwise). Of course I’m […]
As we begin to prepare for our annual fleecing by the IRS, at least we can take solace that some people are getting a break — special people, like Mr. Rhiannon O’Donnabhain: A woman [sic] who battled the IRS over a tax deduction for the costs of her [sic] sex-change operation says she [sic] feels […]
The key to controlling people is to make them feel guilty about their own existence. The envirofascism movement has been so successful in this regard that the gullible hang their heads in shame not only for not living like cavemen, but even over bodily functions. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Dr. Phil Donohue column, which […]
For years, conservatives have been saying that we need to get a handle on Social Security. Even George Bush, who wasn’t a fiscal conservative, understood the risks and he tried desperately to reform the program — but, not: : to avail. Well now, a few years earlier than most people predicted, the program is going into […]
Unlike the U.S., Canada does not have the right of self-protection enshrined in its laws. Where we Americans have the coverage of the Second Amendment to protect our God-given right to self-protection, the Canadians have to rely on the occasional good nature of their overlords in government to determine how their right to own a […]
It’s Katie bar the door as the Democrats in the Senate try to push as many liars and Big Labor crooks into positions of power in the Obama Administration as they can before they lose their super majority once Scott Brown of Massachusetts is seated on the 4th of February. On Monday, the Democrats pushed […]
One of the things you can’t help but notice about the left is that no matter how often they claim to have no problem with Christianity, many liberals certainly act like people who despise Christians. Moreover, it’s also notable that their dislike of Christianity doesn’t seem to inspire any reaction from their fellow liberals. In […]
There has been a lot of controversy over the superbowl ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mother regarding how she chose life for her son. The ad is a simple sincere look at personal story. Yet the left and the “feminists” have gone nuts over it. In 1989 this pro-life video was made featuring NFL […]
John Yoo has been in the news a lot lately, not just because of his new book, Crisis and Command: A History of Executive Power from George Washington to George W. Bush, but because he’s one of the authors of the Bush Administration “torture memos” that were the legal basis for the enhanced interrogation techniques […]
Dear Leader, who has recieved quite a bit of campaign cash from the ethanol lobby, is calling for even more The Obama administration gave a boost to the corn and coal industries Wednesday, announcing a series of moves to accelerate biofuel use and deploy so-called clean-coal technology on power plants. Unsurprisingly, the EPA recently finalized […]
Hmmmmm…… A “dark side” to the internet suggests a strong link between time spent surfing the web and depression, say psychologists. British scientists found that the longer people spent online, the less likely they were to be happy. A small group of the worst affected individuals were both depressed and addicted. But it was not […]
When bad things happen during the Obama administration it’s always so “unexpected”. The latest round of unexpectedly unexpected news was in the jobs arena. The AP reports: WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of newly laid-off workers filing initial claims for jobless benefits rose unexpectedly last week, evidence that layoffs are continuing and jobs remain scarce. […]
Whenever you read commentary by a liberal about Rush Limbaugh you can be sure of two things. One, they never listen to him, and two, they don’t seem to get the whole sarcasm thing. Case in point. Robert Schlesinger at USNews.com wonders why Sarah Palin wouldn’t jump on Rush Limbaugh for using the word “retarded” […]
Apparently, most Democrats were a wee bit scared of asking Obama tough questions during his live televised questions and answers session, but, woops! The media was still present afterwards Senate Democrats held back from asking President Barack Obama about healthcare reform during a carefully scripted question-and-answer session in front of television cameras. With the cameras […]
Alderman Ike Carothers is going to jail over his corruption. The wormy apple didn’t fall too far from the diseased tree, either, because Ike’s daddy, himself a former Alderman, went to jail for corruption in 1983. Ike joins a dozen other Chicago politicians in the Big House. But I am here to say that I […]
