57% of Americans want to replace the entire Congress

This should be theoretically devastating news for Democrats in Congress, and the Republicans along with them. But while the GOPers are learning their lesson, albeit at about the speed that Ted Kennedy took in reporting the accident at Chappaquiddick, Democrats just have no idea. They either don’t get it or they don’t care. Obama’s poll […]

Known entomophobe Andrew Sullivan, beclowning himself.

Yesterday, regarding the WaPo’s “Torture worked” story, Andrew Sullivan found it necessary to write: They (the WaPo) have described John McCain’s experience in Vietnam as torture, and yet what he endured was nothing like as brutal as what was done to KSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed). That right there was a stupid thing to write. Worse […]

Low CIA Morale Apparently Worth The Political Distraction

The Washington Post reports: Morale has sagged at the CIA following the release of additional portions of an inspector general’s review of the agency’s interrogation program and the announcement that the Justice Department would investigate possible abuses by interrogators, according to former intelligence officials, especially those associated with the program. Wow, I can’t imagine why […]

CIA Morale At Minus 50

It’s a shame that the Washington Post doesn’t say what pages of the print version their Internet article appear on, as the NY Times does, because this is rather important information, which was listed at the bottom of the Internet front page under “other news” Morale has sagged at the CIA following the release of […]

Did torture work?

So the WaPo says “the CIA’s harshest interrogation methods” helped turn Khalid Sheik Mohammed into a guest lecturer, teaching Al Quada 101. Speaking in English, Mohammed “seemed to relish the opportunity, sometimes for hours on end, to discuss the inner workings of al-Qaeda and the group’s plans, ideology and operatives,” said one of two sources […]

Right Wing Radio Week in Review: August 24-28

What boycott? As I’ve said all along, the Glenn Beck boycott is backfiring. First off, the group behind the boycott, Color of Change, keeps targeting big companies – most recently, RadioShack — that have never had anything to do with Glenn Beck’s FOX News show. Other advertisers have decided to pull their ads from ALL […]

An old Jewish joke and Kennedy’s Catholicism

The news lines are aflutter with the fact that the Vatican has kept mum about Kennedy’s death. This is scarcely surprising given that Kennedy, although raised a Catholic, took (and sought to use his political power to impose on America) political positions that are anathema to the Church: Edward Kennedy, it can be said, was […]

The Left And Ted Kennedy’s Death

Ted Kennedy is being feted by the left as a liberal icon, the liberal lion of the Senate and the new reason for passing health care insurance reform. Within a few weeks we’ve seen Democrats and the left shift from cost containment (blown away by the CBO) to appeals to religion (blown away because religion […]

It’s A Dangerous World In Here

The internet ain’t no place for the innocent. It’s the wild west around these parts, with infrastructure still being built and social feedback loops yet to fully developed. There is little policing, few laws. At times, it can feel like an ominous town, with bad guys sizing you up from under their ten-gallon hat–just waiting […]

Global Warming Computer Spews Tons of CO2

As there is zero evidence that human carbon dioxide emissions have any effect on climate, authoritarian leftists using the global warming hoax as a Trojan horse for totalitarianism have resorted to computer models to prove whatever their ideology requires them to prove regarding the climate of the future. It’s a good thing the whole crisis […]

Obama’s Attempt To Take Control Of The Internet

Obama has already seized control of the car companies and banks. He’s working on taking over health care. Next up, he wants to put the internet under his thumb: Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers […]

Inglourious Basterds: Part II

For another perspective on this movie, I suggest reading John Rosenthal’s review titled “Inglourious Basterds: A German Fantasy, Not a ‘Jewish’ One”. Rosenthal posits that the movie is written to make the Germans look sympathetic, and the joke is on the buffoonish Americans–who are neither cultured nor competent and barbaric to boot. The movie glorifies […]

The Left’s “Ends Justifies The Means” Fakery

As a general rule, liberals in the mainstream media and blogosphere will, without the slightest hesitation, pass on stories about conservatives that they know are full of untruths. However, the Left has now gone a step beyond their habitual dishonesty of the last few years. They’re now faking hate crimes and lying about their identity […]

Ten Things to Throw in the Casket With Him

Instead of coming up with dumbass laws to pass to “honor his memory,” I thought it would be a much better idea to figure out what we can bury forever right now… I cut it off at ten. I don’t think there’d be much difficulty involved in pushing it out to a hundred, so leave […]

Climahysterics Scared Silly Over Chamber Trial Challenge

You know what happens when anyone challenges one of the religious doctrines of the Left? If you guessed “reasoned debate,” well, then, you buy me the tequila Global warming deniers seem to be in the same camp as so-called birthers (crazies who believe conspiracy theories that President Obama isn’t a US citizen). Both groups believe […]

This Week In Quotes: August 21 – August 27

When a democracy reaches a point where the politicians cannot say no to the people, and both parties are competing for votes by promising even more spending or even lower taxes, or both, the experiment is about over. — Pat Buchanan The activities of the CIA in carrying out the policies of the Bush Administration […]

The price of admission

[/caption] I felt a little bad writing a fairly vicious piece about Ted Kennedy that I posted pretty much at the cusp of his stay in this world. But then I considered that, seeing as how he was so sick, he probably would not read it. So I did not kill him. What kills me […]
