Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn has had a lot to say about Barack Obama of late and not much of it is good, “Right now we are more afraid of Washington than we are of the economy. We’ve got people on our backs saying don’t go to Las Vegas which is preposterous,” Wynn said. […]

Since I’ve decided to attack The Young Turks, they invited on their show tonight to debate them on socialized medicine.

Apparently, it is shovel ready, but, not for the bridges that actually need repair (why does “shovel ready” bring a farm like conotation to mind?) Tens of thousands of unsafe or decaying bridges carrying 100 million drivers a day must wait for repairs because states are spending stimulus money on spans that are already in […]

The shocking thing about this story is that it should be shocking, but, is just par for the course when dealing with the AGW greenies* Dozens of elementary school students in Cirebon, West Java were injured after the ceiling of their classroom collapsed on Wednesday. Subagja, a fifth-grade teacher at SD Negeri Kramat III Cirebon, […]

As I said repeatedly during the campaign: Obama only appears “cool” and “even-tempered” because he’s never challenged. His “vetting” by the media consisted chiefly of juicy-mouthed nether-kissing. It’s not difficult to appear “cool” under those circumstances. Anyone who freaks out and goes to pieces because he’s being praised too much is a lunatic. — Ace […]

To be conservative is to be betrayed on a regular basis. You send your kids to a school that tries to slyly indoctrinate them into liberalism, you come home to watch an “unbiased” news show that covers almost every story differently based on whether a Republican or Democrat is involved, and then you try to […]

There is a major drawback to blogs, the Internet, even up-to-the-minute cable news. Oh, it isn’t a drawback specific to those venues but it is one that makes itself felt sooner and with a woeful result there. I call it “the next big thing factor.” It is that state of being so hungry to post […]

The ROTFLMAO news that the “Cash For Clunkers” program has gone broke in barely a week was a new example of a very old truth: I’m reminded of something P.J. O’Rourke once said, in regard to “affordable housing”: Every time the government promises to give you something for nothing, imagine the result if you tried […]

One of the reasons we’ve reached a tipping point between freedom and welfare statism is because much of the country pays no taxes and increasingly the burden of taxes is being shifted to a smaller and smaller percentage of the population. Now I’m not a tax advocate by any stretch. But it is obvious we’re […]

Apparently this never occurred to the profligate fools in Congress who go along with Obama’s deliberately disastrous Cloward-Piven economic policy, but there are limits to how much the government can borrow: The U.S. Treasury sold $39 billion in five-year debt Wednesday in an auction that drew poor demand, raising worries over the cost of financing […]

Time to locate the nearest Lowe’s. From OneMillionMoms.com: According to the Nashville Gay Pride website, Home Depot gave over $5,000 to be a major sponsor of its 2009 Gay Pride Festival in June. But simply financing the event wasn’t enough for the big box chain. Home Depot also signed on as a vendor, conducting kid’s […]

The Left is furious with the Blue Dog Democrats for not voting their way on health care — yet. These comments from Maxine Waters seem to be fairly typical of the liberal sentiment that’s coming from the netroots, Blasting the seven fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats who are stalling the reform in the House Energy […]

One of the most important stories you won’t hear today is being reported by Debra Burlingame in the Wall Street Journal: On June 17, at the Administrative Maximum (ADX) penitentiary in Florence, Colo., one of those albatrosses, inmate number 24079-038, began his day with a whole new range of possibilities. Eight days earlier, the U.S. […]

Hi guys, I see that you’re having a discussion about weight loss [at MelissaClouthier.com]. It’s not a burden to the website. Thought I’d share a couple thoughts and you guys can continue the discussion: 1. Often, there is an underlying issue around why a person gained weight. A physical trauma like a busted knee that […]

This article about Dan Rather pleading with Obama to save the news industry tells you a lot about what’s actually wrong with the old media if you read between the lines, Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather called on President Barack Obama to form a White House commission to help save the press Tuesday night […]

Q. 15 Now, I am going to read you a list of concerns people have. Please tell me which ONE of these you the President and Congress should be paying the most attention to Dead last. And this poll came from NPR, not usually known for their ne0-con leanings, Climahysterics! (via Tom Nelson) A view […]

The Hill has once again put out their 50 most beautiful list and as always, their rankings are a bit screwy. This year, moreso than usual, there seems to be a lot of average looking people on the list. So, just as I did last year (Winner: Ivy Larsen), I decided to cut it down […]

At what point does Obama Man Up and be Thee President? I can’t remember Bush blaming Clinton for not taking out Osama 3 times, for the Wall between law enforcement and intelligence, etc and so on. Clinton wasn’t out there blaming Bush 41. Reagan wasn’t blaming Carter for the recession he inherited and the Iran […]

Homeschooling is a growing trend in the United States today. Many thousands of parents wary of government indoctrination of their children, not to mention tired of the plummeting level of actual education threatening our kid’s futures, are taking their children’s education into their own hands and setting up homeschools. The trend is also starting to […]

If this NPR poll has any validity, it removes, once and for all, the “I inherited this mess” meme from Obama’s rhetorical quiver. Americans see this as his mess now and they’re not particularly happy with how he’s handling it: In another part of the poll, respondents were asked which of two statements on the […]

They keep giving me plenty of material to use. Someone needs to say it.

Here is part 3 in the series. Enjoy!

On my radio show tonight, on RFC [10EST, 9 CST], I talk about exactly what Megan McCardle says here: These aren’t just a way to save on health care; they’re a way to extend and expand the cultural hegemony of wealthy white elites. No, seriously. Living a fit, active life is correlated with being healthier. […]

A large part of the horror of abortion lies in the monstrous presumption of liberals declaring that human life begins not at conception, but whenever they say it does. Maybe that’s six weeks, maybe six months. Maybe it’s years. Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren (the guy who wanted to put a sterilizing agent in our […]

Everyone is trying to help the ailing Health Care legislation and therefore help President Obama. The question is: Does a bad economy help or hurt Obama? On the one hand, a bad, getting worse economy frightens people who might be out of work and might run out of benefits. On the other hand, a good […]

It would be tempting to mock the libs who run everything in New York for trying to pawn the homeless off on other people, but reluctantly, I have to admit that I think they’ve come up with an excellent program to help the homeless, New York has found a novel, if expensive, way of dealing […]

The drones who choose to believe in the global warming farce take the short view. But not geology professor Ian Plimer of Adelaide University in his book Earth — Global Warming: The Missing Science. Plimer presents the proposition that anthropogenic global warming is little more than a con trick on the public perpetrated by fundamentalist […]

Over the past week or so, I’ve noticed several liberal blogs trying to insinuate that it’s some crazy conspiracy or myth that old people will be allowed to die to save money under the health care plan being considered in Congress. Just to be clear, that is EXACTLY what will happen — and it’s what […]

Your avatar on Twitter and your picture on Facebook matter. People make judgments based on the image they see. Here are some common weird things people do: 1. You & a buddy: I have a new friend on Twitter. In his tiny avatar picture, he’s leaning against another guy. Finally, I asked him if the […]
