I’ve been thinking about the EPA’s decree from earlier this week — the one where they threatened Congress over new legislation on climate change: The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn’t move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a “command-and-control” role over the process in a way that […]
Today I have read a piece of “journalism” by a freelance writer whose Slate article shows me why the profession has fallen on such hard times. The piece on fast food drive thru windows is not only pretentious but it is filled with enough fluff to stuff a mattress and leaves the impression that the […]
Erick Erickson urges Senate Republicans to fight ObamaCare with every parliamentary means available: Some might argue that Republicans should not look “obstructionist.” But they are wrong — the vast majority of Americans don’t like this bill and don’t want it to pass. The Tea Party movement was the upheaval of millions of ordinary Americans who […]
I’m reading a lot of international relations theory, just not blogging that much on it. I’ve been hoping to write a longer entry on the current debate on American decline (see especially Niall Ferguson, at Newsweek, “An Empire at Risk“). But since I just found two real cool posts at TigerHawk on foreign holdings of […]
From the New York Times, “Gillette to Limit Role of Tiger Woods in Marketing“: One day after Tiger Woods said he was taking an “indefinite break” from the PGA Tour to try to repair his marriage, Gillette became the first of his major sponsors to distance itself, saying it would limit his role in its […]
Congress is thinking about legislating college football: Federal legislation that could lead to a college football playoff tournament will move a step closer to reality on Wednesday in a hearing before a subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives. Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Congress has no business mucking around with this. It’s not […]
Had these thoughts in my head for awhile, and as long as we’re on the subject of Palin I thought I should jot ’em down. These people are in a “most lunatic” photo-finish neck-and-neck with the hardcore Obama-zealots. I seriously think we’ve discovered a new mental sickness epidemic. Palin isn’t it, but she’s a useful […]
Via Gabriel Malor at Ace of Spades HQ, Justice Sonia Sotomayor used the phrase “undocumented immigrant” in her first published decision. Apparently, the justices have previously used the more accurate terms “alien not lawfully present in the United States” or “illegal alien.” But in her very first published decision as a Supreme Court justice, Sotomayor […]
My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up at WND. This recap of the week in conservative talk radio features lots of FREE audio and video highlights: Rush Limbaugh’s interview with William Shatner Mike Huckabee warns against the return of the Fairness Doctrine Laura Ingraham’s online auction of Sarah Palin’s famous red jacket Glenn […]
Well, at least they want Al Gore to debate somebody. Charles Cooper at cBS tries to get it on Don King, are you listening? And if the world’s most hair-raising promoter won’t take this one on, then I officially volunteer to set it up. (snip) We’re heard it all before from Gore. Same goes for […]
William Shatner made a return to the Tonight Show to read a few choice excerpts from Gov. Sarah Palin’s book, which you can win in the 2009 All American Christmas Contest or purchase by clicking the picture in the sidebar. He did read from the book, beatnik style, and was about to leave the stage […]
In a shocking news flash, BigGovernment.com has published a Department of Justice Memo that authorizes the Obama Administration to send terrorists into Illinois! Via Obama Executive Order 13492, terrorists WILL BE SENT to Illinois. Go on over to BigGovernment.com to see the full memo. So, what happened to all those Illinois lawmakers that were talking […]
From yesterday’s Washington Post, “‘Tea Party’ Movement Preps for 2010 Vote“: The energized “tea party” movement, which upended this year’s political debate with noisy anti-government protests, is preparing to shake up the 2010 elections by channeling money and supporters to conservative candidates set to challenge both Democrats and Republicans. Buoyed by their success in capsizing […]
The profane, but popular lefty site named “Wonkette” decided that it wants conservatives to die. Either that or it wants homosexuals that indulge a certain sexual practice to die, it’s a bit hard to tell. In a post outrageously headlined “Teabaggers To Feign Death In Senate Offices, Because Of Whatever,” the Wonkette crew snarks that […]
You would think the moonbat brainwashers who run the education establishment could rest on their laurels, now that their ideology has blossomed into an unqualified socialist elected President of the USA on the basis of his “oppressed” ethnicity. But no, they’ve only just begun: A branch of the University of Minnesota may require all education […]
There isn’t much you can do without major hassles in a world micromanaged by petty tyrant bureauweenies — even if you’re a moonbat just trying to be green. Larry Walth put up a $10,000 wind turbine to help meet his electricity needs in Wishek, North Dakota. He righteously bleats: It’s energy and it’s not coming […]
A lefty friend of mine, dave bones from: across the pond, sent me to this lefty site about Copenhagen’s Climate Change summit. I came across this interesting tidbit: (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Lisa Jackson appeared yesterday at the UN Climate Change Summit to assure the international community that the EPA will not let democracy get in […]
Sure, why not, another tax on everyone is a good thing in Liberal World: Many See the VAT Option as a Cure for Runaway Deficits Runaway federal deficits have thrust a politically unsavory savior into the spotlight: a nationwide tax on goods and services. Members of Congress, like their constituents, are squeamish about such ideas […]
Last night on Twitter, Allah Pundit from Hot Air was going off on the idea that Obama’s Nobel Prize speech was important because it laid down some sort of foreign policy doctrine. His comments were right on point: What groundbreaking “doctrine” did he really lay out? “Sometimes war is necessary, but we should also use […]
Funny stuff from those who are supposed to be “the experts” Which is it–6 feet or 3.5 feet? Last week, White House science czar John Holdren told members of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming that changes in global temperatures could mean a rise in sea levels of 6 feet or […]
Could there be anything worse for President Barack Obama than his nemesis agreeing with him? I don’t think so. From CNN: Sarah Palin had some rare praise Thursday for President Obama after the president delivered his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in Oslo. But the former Republican vice presidential nominee added that she would like […]
In my post on climategate I referred to Al Gore sneering to Palin about her piece on climategate in the Washington Post. She fired back yesterday on facebook: and it’s a doozy: The response to my op-ed by global warming alarmists has been interesting. Former Vice President Al Gore has called me a “denier” and informs […]

The financial crisis killed small entrepreneurs as surely as Joseph Stalin killed the kulaks, and the roots of the economy are dead and dry. — David Goldman “Either the war (in Afghanistan) is vital, or it’s not. It can’t be vital until an arbitrary deadline.” — Michael Goodwin The response to my op-ed by global […]
Liberal golden boy Matthew Yglesias says that the Medicare program’s “low reimbursement rates are a feature not a bug.” In other words, the fact that the government doesn’t pay fair market value for the services is good news! Why? Consequently, there’s strong political pressure for generous benefits. That means, on the one hand, that funding […]
Who said great news can’t come out of a bad economy? As The New York Times reported yesterday, the ACLU this year, largely without warning, lost its single largest source of funding as a result of the financial crisis. The loss of that individual donor, who had been contributing $20 million per year, was a […]
I missed Obama’s Nobel Prize speech, but I had two thoughts about it: #1) Did he bow to anyone before he accepted it? #2) How many times would he make reference to himself in the speech? So, I went to the transcript. What follows: is a handful of excerpts from the speech followed by my commentary […]
Earlier today on RWN, Van Helsing talked about eco-kook, Dave Reay, who wants us to cut back on washing, personal hygiene, and buying new clothing. Hmmm…a dirty liberal hippy who wants other people to be dirty, too? Seems pretty convenient, huh? But, Reay is not alone. When they’re not yelling “scientific consensus” in an effort […]
Are you starting to breath easier because it looks like the Public Option is toast? Don’t. The guys from Verum Serum explain: Earlier today I referred to the Senate compromise plan as “RahmCare”, given a similar proposal that the President’s Chief-of-Staff made at a congressional healthcare forum in 2007. But it turns out this isn’t […]
