Thank You, Doug Hoffman, But Now It’s Time To Go

Doug Hoffman is not a charismatic man. He also lived outside of NY-23 — and his campaign wasn’t very well run. Does that mean it was a mistake for conservatives to support him? No. Had Hoffman gotten elected in a Republican district like that one, he probably could have served in Congress for a long, […]

The Post In Which Saudi Arabia And I Agree On Something

It seems that the Saudis are shocking the world again by being brutal to criminals: A Saudi court of cassation upheld a ruling to behead and crucify a 22-year-old man convicted of raping five children and leaving one of them to die in the desert, newspapers reported on Tuesday. The convict was arrested earlier this […]

Maine Rejects Gay Marriage

The news for Republicans and conservatives was pretty good with most of the elections yesterday with a landslide for the Virginia GOP and a great win in New Jersey. Conservatives and Republicans did well in other parts of the country, too. One of those other areas was in Maine where the voters rejected a gay […]

Next Punitive Tax: Meat

The power to tax is the power to destroy. Since the liberal kooks who run the government favor vegetarianism, that will mean the destruction of anyone who eats a normal human diet, if it’s up to prominent moonbat “ethicist” Peter Singer, who claims that “the reasons for a tax on beef and other meats are […]

Andy Stern: Comrade Obama’s #1 Visitor

Two court recent court rulings have resulted in the Moonbat Messiah “voluntarily” disclosing his White House visitor’s list. Stanley McCrystal — commander of our forsaken troops in Afghanistan — has met with Obamao twice. In stark contrast, Andy Stern — head of the ACORN-affiliated SEIU — has visited the White House 22 times, leading the […]

AGW Today: Attacking The Messenger

Just a continuation of the standard Climahysteric tactic of attacking the messenger, rather than dealing with the message Has anybody ever faced more ad hominem attacks than Al Gore? He claims he invented the internet (he didn’t); he’s fat (OK, so he was); his movie is full of lies (it wasn’t); his home burns more […]

Election: Democrats Should Be Nervous, Republicans Should Wake Up

Quick takes: Hoffman loss: What She said. Michelle Malkin nails it: Conservatives owe NY-23 candidate Doug Hoffman immeasurable gratitude. He overcame impossible odds (single digits just a month ago) to come within two points of defeating Democrat Bill Owens. Hoffman had zero name recognition. National Republican Party officials dumped nearly $1 million into the race […]

The Right and Wrong Lessons from Tuesday’s elections.

Some Right and Wrong Lessons from last night — any others? Right Lesson: The voters turned away from the Obama administration and its handling of the economy. Wrong Lesson: The candidates won because they “soft pedaled” their conservatism, as National Review and others in the MSM: alleged. Right Lesson: DeDe Scozzafava was a disastrous candidate for […]

Election Analysis Of Last Night’s Results

Virginia Governor: Bob McDonnell (R) vs. Creigh Deeds (D) Prediction: Likely Republican takeover. (90/10) that McDonnell wins. Result: McDonnell (59%) vs. Deeds (41%) Virginia is a key state for the Dems where they had been making a lot of progress. Jim Webb defeated George Allen for a Senate seat. Tim Kaine, a Democrat, is the […]

I’m Thinking Democrats Are Not Going To Like “V”

So, ABC does a remake of the 1980’s mini-series “V,” turning it into a weekly show. Cool. Space monsters. Classic formula. Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology […]

Buyer’s Remorse In Iowa

This is the day, one year ago today, that the world was supposed to change with the election of Barack Obama to the presidency of the United States. Yet, as the New York Times tells us, in Iowa – a heartland state that went for Obama – the reviews of his presidency to this point […]

Election Night 2009: Open Thread

(This post will be semi-regularly updated for the next few hours) 8:26 * Bob McDonnell has been declared the victor in Virginia! Woo-ha! Republican takeover! * The polls have closed in New Jersey, but there aren’t a lot of numbers yet. All indications seem to be that it’s fairly close. This would seem to be […]

Moonbat Blames Constitution for Obama’s Inadequacy

What’s a Moonbat Messiah to do when blaming Bush just makes people’s eyes roll? Aussie Obamunist Anne Davies has the answer — blame the Constitution: A year ago a jubilant Barack Obama stood in Grant Park, Chicago to claim victory before his exuberant fans. … The first year of the Obama Administration has tested the […]

Guess How Many Hours Barry Has Spent Discussing Afghanistan

I usually do not like posting two straight “smack Obama” stories back to back, but, this should give you a good view of where his priorities lie. From October 30th press conference with Stuttering Gibbs Q What exactly has the President taken away from all these meetings that he’s had? This is the seventh one […]

New Jersey: Go vote.

I got to spend part of my weekend in Jackson, New Jersey. It was a blast. You people up in NJ are crazy in the best possible way. I got there around lunch time and it was freezing and drizzling, but people still showed up. I think I bring inclement weather with me everywhere I […]

Al Gore Exploits Envirofascism for Fortunes

Even as the global warming hoax threatens to plunge the country into a depression via demented Tax & Charade legislation, its most strident pitchman is exploiting it to amass astounding fortunes — as his enablers at the New York Slimes admit: Few people have been as vocal about the urgency of global warming and the […]

Hopenchange Being Lost In Iowa

One has to wonder how dismayed the Fish Wrap Of Record has to be regarding the era of fairy dust and unicorn poots to actually allow an article critical of Obama which shows people losing that hopenchange feeling (cue Goose and Maverick singing to Kelly McGillis). Granted, the article appears on page a12, but, it’s […]

Could the GOP be 3-0 today?

Well, not quite. Let’s remember that even if Doug Hoffman wins the NY-23 race it will be DESPITE the Republican Party, not because of them. The GOP elites: really should be apologizing to conservatives who forced them to do the right thing. And how about getting DeDe Scozzafava, who endorsed the Democrat in the race after […]

Is Rahm’s Luck Running Out?

Politico has a fascinating story of the lengths to which Democrats went to secure Dede Scozzafava’s endorsement of Democrat Bill Owens in the special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district tomorrow. The effort in involved the White House Chief of Staff, New York State’s senior senator, the Speaker of the New York Assembly, the […]

Corzine Tries to Win Ugly* in New Jersey

In a Democratic state, running against a lackluster Republican opponent and with a war chest filled with twice as much lucre as both his opponents combined, with multiple visits by the charismatic President of the United States, Democrat incumbent Jon Corzine has resorted to playing dirty chests while corrupt organizations try to manufacture a few […]

Ezra Klein’s Astonishing New Health Care Charts

Or at least they seem to have astonished Klein. Here’s one as an example: My goodness. As Klein says: There is a simple explanation for why American health care costs so much more than health care in any other country: because we pay so much more for each unit of care. Anyone – what’s missing […]

“Calculator Abuse?” How About “Taxpayer Abuse?”

The White House and the rest of the Democrats want us to understand that despite the high unemployment rate and despite the fact that America has lost 2.7 million jobs since the Stimulus Plan was signed into law, the Stimulus Plan has saved or created over a million jobs. After spending $160 billion, we have […]
