Is everyone in Oregon rich?

That’s the conclusion I drew, after reading this AP lede: PORTLAND, Ore. — If any Americans are willing to fork over more to state governments in 2010, it might just be those of Oregon, where voters are deciding the fate of two proposed tax increases that target the wealthy and corporations. The people of Oregon […]

Christianity, Conservatism and “Reality TV”

Reality teevee is starting to look like droopy butt-crack jeans to me: It appeals to morons, it looks (consequently) as stupid as all holy h*ll, but for reasons nobody can explain it’s just hanging around like a bad smell, year after year and decade after decade. Who thinks this looks cool? Who likes it? Someone […]

‘For The Children’, Unless They are Republican, Natch

Proving that their hypocrisy extends beyond Faux-Feminism, some women on the Left are now revealing that For the Children ™ is also “just words”. You see, it’s totally cool to make fun of a politician’s children now, as long as you think their Mom or Dad is icky. This disturbing, yet eye-opening trend, really began […]

Obama Has Now Lost Frank Rich And Bob Herbert

At least with Bush 43, we understood that the NY Times editorialists and columnists turned on him simply because he was a Republican. With Barack H. Obama, they have been turning on him because he is an incompetent hack. Starting with Bob Herbert How loud do the alarms have to get? There is an economic […]

The Revolutions Finally Got Televised

While some of the music and (especially) the sound effects chosen by Glenn Beck and his production crew are bit melodramatic, the video from his “Revolutionary Holocaust” segment from Friday night is a must-watch program, placing Hitler’s National Socialism, and International Communism in its various forms — and the European intellectuals of the early 20th century who championed both forms of barbarism into context.

Is the Left No Longer Obama-Goggled?

It seems as if some on the Left:  are no longer blinded by their intoxicated Obama-goggles. It’s going to be one hell of a hangover for them! From : National Review Online’s The Corner: This highlight reel of President Obama’s year of cocky shot-calling on health care reform: is a minor masterpiece of excoriation . And it […]

Is This The President’s Fake Letter to the Editor

The Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper happened upon a curious letter to the editor in support of President Obama that seems to have suddenly popped up in nearly 40 newspapers across the country all at once. Every letter claims to be written by an “Ellie Light” and all claim to be from a resident local to […]

Charles Johnson’s Downfall

I gotta tell ya: These Downfall spoofs are still pretty good despite dozens of iterations. I laughed — LAUGHED!! — at “My lips are still sore from kissing his butt,” with the mental visuals of King Charles brown-nosing Markos Moultisas a bit much! Anyway, from Pamela, “Sunday NY Times Magazine Profiles the Notorious ex Biggie […]

Imitation is the Sincerest Form XXIX

ImageShack tells me it was early June when I uploaded this one: Perhaps it was for this item over here. Mark Steyn has been noticing the same subtle central theme that permeates throughout all the Hopenchange policies. He echoes my point, but has some hard data to back it up: He only gave (according to […]

Bye-Bye Miss ‘Air America’ Pie

Yes,:  Air America has finally bitten the dust. Another not really shocking story, although they managed to last a lot longer than I ever imagined that they would. Here is their press release (as excerpted by : Hot Air): It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air […]

A Chicago Politician’s Arrogance

Long time Chicago Democratic Politician Monique Davis is the poster child for arrogance. Davis is a State Rep that has been involved in many flaps centered around her assumption of personal imperviousness, her assumption that her office is a shield used to excuse just any activity at all on her part. She is above the […]

Public Employees Unions Are Sinking California

Steven Greenhut has a great piece in the Wall Street Journal about how the evils of public employees unions are destroying California. Greenhut begins by noting that with one of the highest unemployment rates in the country California is losing its “productive citizens” to other states but is still saddled with an economy killing surfeit […]

Bernardine Dohrn: A ‘Useful Idiot’ for Hamas

Bernardine Dohrn, terrorist wife of : Bill Ayers, member of : The Weathermen and hostess with the mostest for Barack Obama, joined up with other useful idiots, : Code Pink, to bring : ‘humanitarian aid’ to Gaza. Last month 1,300 pro-Palestinian activists from the US and Europe came to the region in the name of peace and social justice […]

Paul Krugman: wrong; off his rocker; and very, very right.

NY Times columnist Paul Krugman wants the House of Representatives to pass the Senate’s health care “reform” bill. They have to pass the Senate’s bill, because Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts has given Republicans a 41-59 majority in the Senate. Feels that way, anyway. Doesn’t it? Back to Krugman, who quite wrongly writes: Tuesday’s Republican […]

Gov. Perry Blogger Summit 2010

As far as Governors go, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas understands:  more than most, the importance of an online presence going forward in political campaigns. He is sponsoring this blogger summit. I am sitting in panel session right now with such wonderful bloggers and political activists like Andre Breitbart, Roger Simon, Ben Domenech, Patrick Ruffini, […]

Democratic Disaray Attributable To Obama’s Lack Of Leadership

It is so obvious it frustrates me that others are too ideologically or politically blind to admit it. The reason the Democrats are in the shape they’re in today has to do with the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and his obvious lack of leadership. Let me give you the latest example found in […]

Abandoning Obama?

I just checked Andrew Sullivan’s Sitemeter. Oh sure, I know he’s still a big name blogger, but I’m curious to see his traffic stats given his latest meltdown over Scott Brown’s election. What kind of demand is there for these really freaked screeds against the voters in MA? (Sully peaked in the early afternoon at […]

Massachusetts Aftermath: ‘We the People’ and the Brown Revolution

The Wall Street Journal reported today that Republican Scott Brown edged Martha Coakley among union rank-and-file in Tuesday’s Massachusetts Senate election. Why? I argue that it’s because liberals have ignored the pro-freedom message of the Tea Party movement: But it’s not just Massachusetts, it’s everywhere nowadays. People are tired of the “insider consensus.” They’re tired […]

Unions Sign On To Obama’s Penalizing of Banks

According to The Hill, “several union officials” plan to make Obama’s newest attack on America’s banking industry part of their criteria for determining which candidates to support for 2010. So, the unions want to use support for this economy killing tax as a criteria for supporting a candidate. If a politician is for it, then […]

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty Throws Taxpayer Money to the Wind

Appalling moonbattery from north of the border, where Big Government and Samsung are teaming up to empty citizens’ pockets in the name of the flourishing polar bears: In a dramatic move yesterday, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty struck a green electricity deal — allegedly the biggest of its kind in the world — that will transmit […]

Newt Gingrich: Republicans Should Work With Pelosi

Now that Republicans are making a stunning comeback by riding a wave of public revulsion against the Democrats’ statist agenda, it’s the perfect time to toss principles overboard and revert to the Democrat-Lite Party that disgraced itself by massively expanding the government under Bush. At least, that’s what Newt Gingrich seems to think: Gingrich sees […]

The Week In Review

And Oh, what a week it has been. John J. Miller at NRO summed it up nicely, but here is my take; : The Democrats lost Ted Kennedy’s: seat to a: rising Republican rock star, Scott Brown. The next day Pelosi says she doesn’t have the votes for Obamacare, which we all thought was about to be shoved […]
