Fenstermaker agonistes

I’ve been wondering when this part of the Khalid Sheik Mohammed story was going to get a little air ever since I heard them interviewing one of the members of his “dream team,” Scott Fenstermaker, on the radio. Ed Morrissey is very smart, but he’s missing something here about Fenstermaker: He is very, very stupid. […]

Sarah Palin’s So Popular, She Even Brings The Media Out In Droves

For good or bad, when Sarah is speaking, everyone wants to be there, even the media Sarah Palin’s 11-minute speech before Washington’s Gridiron Club at its Winter Dinne tossed a few barbs at the gathering of journalists, who she compared to “death panels.” “Sometimes you got to trust your instincts, and if you don’t, you […]

Well there’s a mixed blessing.

Headline: Unemployment Rate Falls to 10%. Unemployment is down! Hip hip…oh, no, wait, it’s still at 10%. Holy crap. And this is the good news? And…is it really the good news?

Memo For File CV

One of the very first things covered by President Obama during His inaugural speech was the “fact,” if you call it that, that forty-four Americans have now taken the Presidential oath of office. He got that one wrong, but the fact-checkers didn’t catch it because they were too busy screening Saturday Night Live skits. But […]

New Rule of Thumb: History Only Happens in Our Lifetime

It’s a new rule of thumb, apparently, that history doesn’t matter. Fall of Rome? Who cares? WWII? What’s it matter? The Great Depression? Just a blip. It’s NOW that we care about, man. All that history stuff? Pffft. If it isn’t happening now, it doesn’t matter. This notion that history is for the stuffed shirts […]

Therefore, in Australia they are pushing a law to make it illegal not to walk your dog: PET owners could be punished for not […]

Defending Obama On The F-22 Non-Scandal

Barack Obama is a bumbling, empty-headed, arrogant, dangerous, ultra left-wing statist who’s doing crippling damage to our country. There’s very little good to be said about the man — which, is why there’s really no need to stretch to be offended by stories like this one: When President Obama spoke to troops at Alaska’s Elmendorf […]

Who Is The Enemy?

I suppose you have heard by now that on the night of Pres. Obama’s Afghanistan speech given at West Point, Chris Matthews of MSNBC said on air that he found it interesting that Obama had made the decision to speak at “the enemy camp.” It was a despicable thing to say, but coming from “a […]

Unions Railroading Florida’s Rail Project

Florida is right now at the vanguard of a new railroad project that could bring good news to those that care about solving bloated state budgets, common sense employment laws, and cutting the corruption that comes with unions by pushing for a non-union workforce with its proposed intrastate rail system.

This Week In Quotes: November 27 – December 3

“Here’s a guy without much experience, who campaigned against much of what we put in place … and who now travels around the world apologizing.

Woops! Dear Leader Dissed Diceman And Bulldogs Over F-22

That would be the 90th Fighter Squadron, known as the “Dicemen,” and the 525th Fighter Squadron, the “Bulldogs,” both of which operate the F-22 When President Obama spoke to troops at Alaska’s Elmendorf Air Force Base last month, the unit there parked a shiny new F-22 fighter plane in the hangar.
