This NY Times article has driven folks in the Left-o-sphere into apoplexy, er, a higher level of apoplexy then usual. They want prosecutions now, because they just can’t MoveOn. Torture Memos: Inquiry Suggests No Prosecutions An internal Justice Department inquiry has concluded that Bush administration lawyers committed serious lapses of judgment in writing secret memorandums […]

Let’s see. We have banks that want to repay their bailout loans, and Los Federales, starting with Little Timmay Geithner and Dear Leader, either won’t let them, or are making it extraordinarily difficult. And then there is Chrysler Chrysler LLC will not repay U.S. taxpayers more than $7 billion in bailout money it received earlier […]

One of the things I try to do is take a look at stories and decide whether or not there’s enough there to blog about it. And part of that has to do with corroboration. When I first saw the story about the Obama White House allegedly threatening a Chrysler stakeholder during negotiations that eventually […]

Moonbatty Google has taken the plunge into overt self-parody: Last week, Google brought in a herd of goats to mow the grass on its Mountain View, Calif. headquarters rather than using lawnmowers. The company said that it wanted to take a more “low-carbon” approach with the goats reducing the company’s contribution to air and noise […]

Congratulations to Arlen Specter for finding a home where he belongs in the party of Jack Murtha and Rod Blagojevich. How he ever passed himself off as a Republican becomes more mysterious by the day. Now we learn that the website he promoted while accusing the GOP of killing Jack Kemp by not throwing enough […]

What did he say? I’m going to give all the women out there a piece of advice that your parents are probably too uncomfortable to give to you: do not let your boyfriend take naked pictures of you. You know why? Because even if you disregard the moral issues, if the two of you break […]

Since we have no curious journalists in this country, I thought I would ask the questions that the media fails to ask: 1) What is the name of the person who took the photographs of Air Force One over New York City? How can we get in contact with that person? 2) Since the taxpayers […]

Seriously, how can anybody favorably compare this hapless doofus to Sarah Palin or Dick Cheney? This guy has made five mistakes for every one Palin made; yet he was treated like some kind of wise-old-hand — as if being an incompetent, lying boob in DC for a long time was the sort of “experience” we […]

What’s going on at the EPA? Obama business as usual, that’s what. Obama business in service to the wacko environmentalists. From Pierre LeGrand: On April 28th Obama fulfilled a campaign promise regarding bankrupting Coal Power plants. He accomplished this by having his EPA pull a permit that had already been issued for the Desert Rock […]

It’s not Republicans. And it’s not Rush Limbaugh–much as Obama, his minions and the press would like to paint it so. I’ve got bad news: The opposition owns the Republican brand. Oh yes, they do. Democrats define Republicans and the Republicans accept the definition by operating from their false premises. How do I know Republicans […]

Whatever you may think of Michael Savage, banning him from entering Britain is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Sixteen people banned from entering the UK were “named and shamed” by the Home Office today. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said she decided to make public the names of 16 people banned since October […]

There’s absolutely no wonder in this, considering how Obama was in the pocket of Big Ethanol during the campaign that he promised not to undertake till he finished his first term as a Senator The Obama administration on Tuesday will step up efforts to increase the availability of ethanol at filling stations and to speed […]

One thing that people often miss about politics is that different underlying assumptions on the Left and Right can lead to wildly divergent policies and results. For example, let’s take the issue of corporations using overseas tax shelters. Here’s the Obama/liberal take on the issue: President Obama, flanked by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and IRS […]

What is wrong with Congress? Don’t they know that hopeNchange is here? Don’t they know that Guantanamo Bay Detention of Dangerous, Murderous, America Hating Islamists Center needs to be closed so that the dangerous, murderous, slit your throat after a nice dinner of orange chicken and rice pilaf Islamists can be sent, somewhere, not sure […]

“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” — Thomas Paine “You know it took us 80 years to get to where we are today and it’s going to take us 80 years to contain it and start to unravel it. It’s not going to […]

“Apparently, giving a woman a compliment on her good looks is inherently an insult now, no matter the context, at least if politics and the media are involved in any way. . . . It’s one thing to point out blatant sexism in its true form. It’s completely silly on the other hand to misconstrue […]

Hi Guys! Tonight is the inaugural episode of my new radio show called Right Doctor for Radio For Conservatives. Listen at RFCradio.com at 10 EST or 9 CST. There is also a chat room. I’d love your feedback! I’ll be there, please join in the conversation. Also, in the second half of the hour (hour […]

A couple days late on this story which names even more groups as extremists. For a change, Raw Story is incensed It’s not just right-wing “radical” groups on the Department of Homeland Security’s black list anymore. Another embarrassing Homeland Security memo (pdf here) detailing those the agency believes are extremists has leaked. The first was […]

Oh the irony. Please rate on YouTube.

In case you’re wondering how the Department of Homeland Security spends the mountains of tax money shoveled into it — since our rulers clearly have no interest in defending the border or inconveniencing Islamic terrorists — have a look at the new supplement to the Newspeak dictionary entitled the Domestic Extremism Lexicon. This document is […]

W is gone, but his shadow Secretary of State is still at work, undermining American interests while sucking up to hostile tyrants. Now Jimmy Carter has taken his one-man traveling circus to Bolivia, which Castro knockoff Evo Morales has been driving ever deeper into socialist poverty, while exporting cocaine to the USA and kicking our […]

For the second straight month, home sales have increased: There was another ray of hope Monday for the distressed housing market: the National Association of Realtors said the volume of signed contracts to buy previously occupied homes rose for the second month in a row. Homebuyers taking advantage of bargain prices, low interest rates and […]

Arlen Specter the new Flavor of the Month on the Sunday talk circuit demonstrated why he’s come back to his ideological home in the Democrat party. On Meet the Press, he said: “If we had pursued what President Nixon declared in 1970 as the war on cancer, we would have cured many strains. I think […]

Jim DeMint, perhaps because he was stung by the criticism of his, “I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate” wrote one of the best columns I have seen in a long time. Here’s the key excerpt, To win back the trust of the American people, we must be a “big tent” party. But […]

There are plenty of rumors floating around that the GOP Establishment wants Tom Ridge or Jim Gerlach to get in the Pennsylvania primary to run against Pat Toomey. Now, I don’t know how solid these rumors are nor do I know whether Ridge or Gerlach is seriously considering taking on Toomey. Moreover, it’s a free […]

I went to the NC Coastal Conservative Conference on Friday. The Leadership Institute did training, Americans for Prosperity was involved, there was a debate, and they had some speakers afterwards for dinner (which I missed), but there was something in particular that was discussed that deserved some more attention. At one point, there was a […]

Would you be surprised if the most ethical Congress ever to basically allow lobbyists to write the new climate change bill, otherwise known as the “Soaking The American People For A Fake Issue” bill? Would it surprise you that the party who railed at the influence of lobbyists would allow this? I wouldn’t. Lobbyists help […]

The most ethical Congress ever. Draining the swamp. Doing away with the culture of corruption. Insert whatever Pelosi talking point you want, Nancy appears to want to insulate federal lawmakers from being investigated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is working to buffer lawmakers from federal investigators. This is a bad idea. Special legal protections for politicians […]

As many of you have no doubt heard, Jack Kemp passed away this week-end. Many people remember Jack Kemp as Bob Dole’s VP, but he was also one of the greatest champions of supply side economics during the Reagan years. This country has been incredibly prosperous since Ronald Reagan was first elected in 1980 and […]

Theodore Dalrymple (tweeted by Gerard): It is curious how, when it comes to rape, the liberal press, and presumably liberals themselves, suddenly appreciate the value of punishment. They do not say of rape that we must understand the causes of rape before we punish it; that we must understand how men develop into rapists before […]
