Memo For File XCIV

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” — Upton Sinclair I was watching democrat party advisors and consultants “guest” on the Fox News Channel to peddle their sh*t, and a very simple thought jumped into my head. At first I thought it was […]

Obama’s School Speech: Why People Are Concerned

This Week In Quotes: August 28 – September 3

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Tea parties do little good if all the people do is protest. They must at some point put down the protest signs and pick up campaign signs. A “buycott” of Whole Foods may make you feel involved, but you aren’t really involved until you’re making politicians […]

The Left Still Doesn’t Get It

Robert Reich has to be the poster boy for why liberals are only about 20% of our population. If it weren’t for the quiet backwaters of academia where, apparently they’re pretty much left alone to survive and breed, they wouldn’t have much of a chance of making it anywhere else. Here’s his latest riff: What […]

Meg Whitman loves Van Jones?

A Truther In The White House

Obama’s Communist Czar Van Jones apparently believes George Bush may have been behind the 9/11 attacks.

Mr. […]

Public School Reading

No doubt the socialist apparatchiks who run public schools have your kids studying up for Chairman Zero’s big speech to the children next Tuesday. Here are a couple of books likely to dominate their homework assignments, with excerpts via P.U.M.A.: He was there in Chicago because he cared about these people. They were his family. […]

Moonbat Answer to Pledge of Allegiance

As seen in elementary school classrooms and available here, the Pledge Allegiance to the Earth poster: As Glenn Beck put it yesterday: Well, how about this one? This was sent in by a listener of the radio program. This is a poster that was in their child’s classroom. Look at this. I pledge allegiance to […]

Democrat Lawmaker Accidentally Proves High Taxes Hurt Business

You see it all the time, Democrats in any particular state or county government proposing to raise sales taxes to raise “much needed” revenues — I say “much needed” because spending cuts are never considered an option for what ails a government budget. But these money-hungry Democrats never once consider the harm they are doing […]

Barack Obama: Did He Murder & Rape A Young Girl In 1990?

The latest tactic in the left-wing smear campaign against Glenn Beck has been accusing him of rape. No, really… The attack on Glenn Beck continues by the internet crowd calling for a boycott of Beck’s advertisers. Can we now boycott the internet for making false accusations? The accusation that “Glenn Beck raped and murdered a […]

RWN’s 10 Favorite Sarah Palin Quotes

Honorable Mention) “But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot – what exactly is our opponent’s plan?

Sweden’s Healthcare Failures: A Warning to U.S.

David Hogberg of the National Policy Center has an interesting, in depth study of the mess that is Sweden’s single payer healthcare system from 2007 that is very relevant to today’s discussion of Obamacare because much of what Obama wants has already proving a failure in Sweden. “The experience of Sweden demonstrates,” Hogberg says, “that […]

Television: Inefficiency At Its Finest.

I gave away my television in 2006. Yes, I’m one of those people. It was not some snooty faux intellectual “I’m too good for the idiot box” mentality that caused me to get rid of what would now be an antiquated black box… it was convenience. I was in college and living the nomadic, transient […]

The Iranian Answer To “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques”

Iran, as we all know, is a theocracy. That means Islamic law and thus Islamic clerics, have great influence. One of the clerics which President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regularly consults, has recently laid out the Iranian version of “enhanced interrogation techniques”. It is rather revealing, both about the mentality of those that we’re fighting (and make […]

Van Jones: “Republicans Are A**holes”

Experts from Bournemouth University examined the quality of food offered to prisoners […]

Democrats Cancel Patriotic Music

My friends across the aisle always tell me that Democrats love America and are as patriotic as anyone on the right. Unfortunately for them, it is hard to believe that their party is on the same all-American page as the rank and file especially since Nancy Pelosi’s Democrat controlled House of Representatives tried to get […]

The Mummified Possum From Under My Bathroom

So, I’m having work done on the floor of my house and today one of the contractors was tearing up my bathroom floor. He found what I think of as a country boy’s Tutankhamen’s tomb. No gold, no artifacts, just a mummified possum that apparently crawled under my house and died at some point: The […]

The Last 150 Books I’ve Read

As part of a never-ending series, I like to do short reviews of the books I read. Here are the latest 15 with the previously reviewed 135 below the fold. PS: If you’re wondering why there are very few low rated books on this list, it’s because I have a low tolerance for boredom and […]

AGW Today: Wildfires And Blackouts And Wartime, Oh My!

You could also substitute “moonbat” for wildfires, if you want It was bound to happen. That is, someone was due to blame the catastrophic wildfires in California on global warming. Rep. Linda Sanchez, the Democratic congresswoman from California’s 39th Congressional District, appeared on MSNBC’s Sept. 1 “Andrea Mitchell Reports” and did just that. She told […]

White House Has Plan To Data Mine Social Networks

Ah, remember the good old days, when people on the Left flipped out and lied about a program to monitor communications from overseas to known and suspected Islamic terrorists without a warrant? Remember when the left pitched hissy fits over the the Bush administration gathering information about phone call patterns from the telecoms, which included […]
