Dead Man Walking?

About That Bush I Education Speech

Byron York points out that the Democrats investigated George HW Bush’s speech. This is delicious: Unlike the Obama speech, in 1991 most of the controversy came after, not before, the president’s school appearance. The day after Bush spoke, the Washington Post published a front-page story suggesting the speech was carefully staged for the president’s political […]

Obama’s Hate Speech: Team Obama Scrubs Website of Posting

Last week, the MyBarackObama website forced a meet-up posting down the memory hole. Obama’s Organizing For America (his ground stormtrooper organization that evolved from his campaign army) section of his website had a posting for what was going to be a meet-up in Illinois to push Obamacare. Apparently, even the extremists that run Obama’s website […]

Yale University Press Censors Harmless Muhammad Cartoons

Don’t be too hard on media outlets too craven to publish the tepid Danish cartoons that Muslims used as a thin pretext to intimidate dhimmis. True, it was impossible for them to do their job without letting us see for ourselves that the cartoons were nothing any sane person would riot over. But there are […]

Tuesday Back To Work (20 Photos)

I don’t usually cross-post my photofests (defeats the politics, and the formatting did not move from WP to MT very well,) but, just to get everyone back into the swing of things after a long holiday weekend, as Martin suggests :) (I’m also testing the way the “read more” tag works with this theme on […]

The Dumbest Ideas In DC #458: Passing Unpopular Legislation Helps You Win!

One of the oddest ideas floating around the fever swamps of Washington, D.C. is that parties benefit from passing wildly unpopular legislation because at least they’ve “done something.” Republicans during the Bush years were guilty of this sort of thinking at times — immigration and John McCain’s reaction to the financial crisis immediately come to […]

Are CCL Holders Dangerous? Columnist Thinks So

A blogger for the Roanoke Times wrote a recent blog post breathlessly informing his readers that contrary to “false claims” concealed carry permit holders have, indeed, been responsible for acts of murder and mayhem.

10 Lessons We Can Learn From The Rise Of The Nazis

Hitler did not rise out of a vacuum: Many people assume that another Hitler can rise up in any nation, but that’s not necessarily so. Hitler’s rise in Germany was not a forgone conclusion in Germany, but there were a number of conditions that made that country especially susceptible to it. The Germans were a […]

The Baucus Plan For Expanded Health Insurance Coverage

This is the culmination of a “year of work” by Sen. Max Baucus. And the cost? Well much less than the House version if you’re to believe the Senators who put it together. Instead of 1.5 trillion, this one will only cost us 850 to 900 billion over 10 years – another sum we cannot […]

The Truth About the Balanced Budget

Truth In Accounting had an incredibly important 50 state study that needs to be broadcast far and wide. It shows the mess that every state in the union is in with the budget. When the Institute for Truth in Accounting (the IFTA) began to design “The Truth about Balanced Budgets–A Fifty State Study” (the Study) […]

New Low for Associated Press

Associated Press would not publish the tepid Danish cartoons that Muslims used as a pretext to riot — leaving the public in the dark as to what the rioting was actually about — on the grounds that it didn’t want to offend Islamists, who have been sacred to liberals since 9/11/01. However, American troops are […]
