If this isn’t the perfect example that liberals don’t care who has to die in order to make sure that left wing policies win the day, then nothing does. We can see this prime example in Eric Zorn’s horrid August 28 editorial where he thanks … well, whatever deity leftists believe in, if any… that […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

An economist is saying that President Hoover set the stage to worsen The Great Depression because of his pro-labor union stance. Pro-labor policies pushed by President Herbert Hoover after the stock market crash of 1929 accounted for close to two-thirds of the drop in the nation’s gross domestic product over the two years that followed, […]

It’s not exactly surprising that the left would use the death of a prominent Democrat political figure in cheap attempts at gaining a political advantage. After all, we saw it with the Paul Wellstone memorial service and the Coretta Scott King funeral. In fact, the left has shown that they will not just use the […]

This is a video rebuttal to a viral video going around the internet pushing socialized medicine. Please pass this around to everyone you know, email, facebook etc. I have 100,000+ views to catch up to really quickly. Thanks.

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 […]

Are you a union member trying to find out information of the criminal actions and shady financial dealings of your union? Well don’t expect Obama and his toady in the Labor Secretary’s office, Hilda Solis, to help you uncover any illegalities perpetrated by your union bosses. Solis’ department has just announced that it is suspending […]

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 […]

The journalists of Indianapolis want us to feel sorry for them. See, they’ve voluntarily signed a contract that includes a 10% pay cut and precludes raises during this contract’s 2 year term. And they are whining about it. In a day when papers are failing all across the country, the guild members of Indy journos […]

My friend Zhombre was at the bookstore perusing the shelves when he came across a Penguin Press book entitled “The Inaugural Address, 2009.” That’s well and good. I’m sure there are some in America who want to clutch this banal speech as tightly to their chest as Chinese citizens were forced to do with Mao’s […]

They’re talking about it, at least, but they’re still in denial. Writing in the Chicago Tribune, Eric Zorn is grateful that the modern media blanket didn’t exist in 1969. If it had, Kennedy’s career might have…gasp…ended! Was it just as well that we didn’t — couldn’t — have a media feeding frenzy over Chappaquiddick in […]

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 […]

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 […]

Obama spouted a maudlin mess about Kennedy today. He didn’t even bother to mention by allusion to Kennedy’s “flaws” that little problem at Chappaquiddick: Today we say goodbye to the youngest child of Rose and Joseph Kennedy. The world will long remember their son Edward as the heir to a weighty legacy; a champion for […]

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 […]

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 […]

Not even Comrade Obama had the audacity to add the glaringly corrupt Bill Richardson to the collection of kooks and tax cheats that passes for his cabinet. But his administration is glad to lend a hand to keep the crook out of jail: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former high-ranking members of his administration […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

What is the cost of three Canadian visitors a day? Fifteen million dollars in Obamabucks, apparently. Worse, this waste of money wasn’t something the president of “transparency” seemed disposed to let us easily discover. Still, the Boston Globe reports that $15 mil is the amount of so-called stimulus money that Obama allowed to be spent […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I bet Betsy got a few ugly calls from folks like Nancy Pelosi and Rom Emanuel after this little bit of “woops, I told the truth” Some people, including Medicare recipients, will have to give up some current benefits to truly reform the nation’s health-care system, Rep. Betsy Markey told a gathering of constituents in […]

[/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 […]

What a joke!
