President Obama’s SOTU

It was bitter and divisive, attacking not only Republicans and blaming Bush (please! enough already), but attacking the Supreme Court as well (I still can’t get over Justice Alito mouthing “That’s not true”). But the idiot line of the night does not go to Obama. It goes to Chris Matthews of MSNBC who declared after […]

A Fight For Small Business

A friend of mine owns a wine/tobacco shop outside Atlanta Georgia. It’s called the Tinder Box in Alpharetta, GA. He says that the bill described below could literally put him out of business. He said that last year Congress raised the price of tobacco by imposing a federal tax, then they outlawed the sale of […]

SOTU Quotes and Commentary

Ah, the “blame Bush” fallback is alive and well over one year after the president has been out of the media eye. As defensive as ever, President Obama can’t help sneeking in excuses and jabs at the “far-right” and the situation he “inherited” every second he gets a chance: Even after paying for what we […]

Liveblog Of Obama’s Speech

I was liveblogging Obama’s speech on Twitter as part of a feed that CBS was running on their website. Since I’m done, I thought I’d go ahead and report it here. * Let me get started early: Obama, you lie!!! * Has any President every walked out and said, “The State of the Union is…aw, […]

Live Video Blogging the SOTU!

Melissa Clouthier and I are rocking the video blogging – sorry about my delay. It’s ustream’s fault. Live TV : Ustream 9:54 – I had some seriously unbelievable technical issues. Like, my whole neighborhood was powerless so I apologize. 9:58 – Wow. Did he really just attack the Supreme Court? Had anyone ever gone after […]

Fox News Will be the Most Watched Network Tonight

Yep… Fox News, the most trusted name in news. No really, read this. The network that pushes the most opposition to the current president always gets a ratings bump. MSNBC actually did respectable ratings when George W. Bush was hated by most of the country. Which is funny, when you think about it. MSNBC pushed […]

If Obama Has Lost Christopher Buckley And Obamagirl…

Remember when people who attacked Barack Obama were regularly accused of racism by liberals? Well, one of the most remarkable consequences of Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts is that the floodgates of criticism have now opened on the Left. It seems that liberals have discovered that their messiah has feet of clay. Now, there have […]

John and Elizabeth Edwards Legally Split Today

Buried today in the news of the State of the Union and the Apple iPad this: Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who admitted last week that he fathered a child with a videographer, separated Wednesday from his wife, Elizabeth, according to a source close to her. Edwards, 56, denied he was the infant’s father […]

President Obama Is Out Of Touch

Remember when President Bush I was shocked about the technology to check out at the grocery store? [Update: That story, reader Mark Urbin points out, was a myth. See Snopes.] Remember when the press made hay over Senator John McCain’s ignorance about email? They’re out of touch! screamed the headlines. Well, the Out Of Touch […]

Chgo Trib: Who Will Smack Down the Unions?

Dennis Byrne, a columnist with the Chicago Tribune, has a great piece asking the seminal question: what politician will take on the public employees unions? This is, of course, the question we’ve been asking here for years! Who will stop these union thugs that have bought for themselves a bevy of compliant politicians at the […]

Lancet Blames Israel for Muslim Misogyny

Generations of terrorism and whininess have deeply endeared Palestinians to progressives; consequently, they can do no wrong according to our liberal elite ruling class. If they beat their wives, it could only be because Israelis made them do it. Just ask the liberal establishmentarians at The Lancet. Chesler Chronicles reports on a newly published article […]

Obama Is Most Polarizing President in History

Among the most preposterous excuses I heard from people so slavishly devoted to moonbattery as to vote for Comrade Obama was the guffaw-inducing claim that this clearly unqualified left-wing extremist would somehow “unite” our center-right country. Unfolding history provides a rebuttal: The Gallup Poll people delivered an interesting report [Monday]: President Obama was the most […]

Talking Liberalism: 3 Questions With Evan Sayet

Last week, I got together for my second interview with conservative comedian Evan Sayet (first one here). What follows is an edited transcript of our conversation, most of which centered around liberalism. Now you used to be a writer for Bill Maher. : I’ve heard a few people say, “Gee he used to be much more […]

Remember When The Science Was Settled?

Remember when we were told time and time again that the science surrounding man caused global warming was settled, that the time for debate was over, that the time for action was now? Well, as each week goes by, we learn more and more why climate alarmists did not want to debate or actually discuss […]

This Amazing Movement

Everyone has their opinion on the slow crippling disappointment Americans feel about Pres. Obama. Some say he is too cool and distant. Others say he kept too many of the Bush administration’s policies. But the truth can be found in a series of miscalculations and this boondoggle of a health care bill. When I find […]

All The Rats Seem To Be Deserting The USS Obama

If we ever actually see a USS Barack Obama, it will probably not be an aircraft carrier, but, a destroyer. Starting off, you remember Christopher Buckley and his whining support of Obama pre-election? The Cluebat Of Reality has finally wacked him, as he writes the SOTU that Obama should be giving A year ago, I […]

Life, Values, and California’s GOP Senate Primary

I doubt these views are particularly representative, from the comments at my essay yesterday on Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts: Personally, I don’t give a whit about social conservatism. As far as I’m concerned, there is not much of a difference between progressives and social conservatives in that both want to tell me how to […]

Toyota Halts Sales on 8 Models as Recall Fallout Threatens Brand

At the Los Angeles Times, “Toyota Temporarily Stops Selling Eight Models Covered by Recall“: Toyota Motor Corp. has taken the unprecedented stop of halting sales and production of eight models, including the top-selling Camry and Corolla, because their accelerator pedals can stick and cause runaway acceleration. Toyota sent an email to its roughly 1,200 U.S. […]
