Via The Raleigh N&O: John Edwards marched toward the White House in 2006 seeking an arsenal of millions collected a little at a time. He also gathered more ammunition, about $11 million, collected in larger chunks by nonprofit groups conceived and operated to further his aspirations. He also courted a girlfriend. Federal investigators are trying […]

Not that the True Believers actually ever “do something!” themselves, since they cannot afford it right now, and, anyhow, government should “do something!,” especially to those Evil Oil Companies which let the True Believers drive the SUVs that they cannot afford to give up because little Henry has soccer practice, darling Barbara has ballet, and […]

Woe be unto us, when we call skepticism gullibility, and gullibility skepticism… Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, told CNSNews.com that to attain that reduction, it is “likely true” that energy costs for Americans will go up. “I think the system is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and […]

It’s supposed to be a listening tour to accompany their launch of the National Council for a New America. So, where do they launch it? With the party at its lowest standing in several decades, Republicans on Saturday launched a listening tour in the heart of the Democratic suburbs, where several of the party’s leading […]

Charles, at LGF, is concerned that the “extreme right white supremacist” (his phrase) BNP party in England is gaining political ground. If you check out the party’s blog, though, racial purity a la the Nazis or the KKK is not part of the party’s platform. As far as I can tell, it wants to close […]

Commenting on a link Glenn Reynolds provided to an Examiner post requesting that the President and Speaker Pelosi apologize for smearing the Tea Party movement, his reader Marc Greendorfer offered: I can’t recall a single instance during his eight years where President Bush derided American citizens who took to the streets to protest his administration. […]

Since the media has ignored what is important about Justice Souter’s resignation, I decided to make a quick video. Please rate on YouTube.

Last night on FoxNews’s O’Reilly Factor with Laura Ingraham substituting for the show’s eponymous host, feminist Gloria Feldt said Miss California, Carrie Prejean, needed a “heart transplant.” So, since that young woman has offered a position on gay marriage nearly identical to that of the President of the United States, does this feminist believe that […]

Can’t believe I forgot to mention this last week: Dennis Miller got an email from Admiral Stockdale‘s son, thanking Miller for passionately and articulately defending his father during the 1992 Presidential election. Miller’s famous monologue at the time marked his the beginning of his turn from left to right; he was clearly moved to hear […]

When I was in college, I studied Southern Long Fist Kung Fu for more than a year and my teacher told me something that I never forgot. He said that when you’re being attacked, the aggressor sets the rules and if you want to survive, you have to play by those rules. In other words, […]

Eat your heart out, liberal media. Your hand-picked creation, Barack Obama, is America’s leader, Democrats just about have a filibuster-proof majority in Congress – and mainstreaming media is tanking like never before. According to Newsmax.com: MSNBC and CNN’s primetime news programs have suffered an incredible nosedive in ratings since Barack Obama was elected president, Newsmax […]

There’s some interesting stuff out there to read about the Chrysler bankruptcy, like people asking “why wasn’t this done in the beginning”? Simple answer – in the beginning there was no way to secure the UAW a majority stake in the company. Now, as Felix Salmon points out, that’s been accomplished: The broad outlines of […]

I had a choice of writing about the recession of 1920, or I could simply post a great video by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. I chose the video. Enjoy.

Obviously the Moonbat Messiah is not showering $billions of our money on failed auto companies without expecting something in return. He wants what liberals always want — coercive power: [D]espite Obama’s protestations that he has no interest in running auto companies, it’s clear that —with huge sums of federal tax money sunk into Chrysler and […]

The audacity of arrogance that characterizes this nightmare of Democrat rule marches forward in Washington state, where Governor Christine Gregoire signed a bill pledging Washington’s electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the national popular vote — the will of Washington voters be damned. This contempt for her own constituents’ right to vote is a […]

You might be familiar with the #TCOT (Top Conservatives on Twitter) phenomenon. If you’re not, know that conservatives found a simple way to identify like-minded individuals and share information. (For more details, read “5 Easiest Ways to Advance Conservatism on Twitter,” “The Top Places to Find News You Can Use” and “How do you find […]

Watching what President Barack Obama is doing with the country makes me think of Venezuela under Chavez. Is it any wonder they’re buddies? They certainly have enough commonalities that many people see the two together in heart, mind, and action: But times have changed and so have strategies. Saul Alinsky, radical of the ’60s, author […]

Remember the time that ABC and the rest of the liberal media, not too mention the Left-O-Sphere, where in a high dudgeon over Valerie Plame’s outing? They wanted investigations, impeachments, and jailings. They said she, and the United States, were made less safe. Her husband said the same thing after outing her on his Who’s […]

Is there anyone Obama won’t blame? Is there any segment of the private population that he won’t assault? Well, we know he won’t blame himself. In this case, even the NY Times business section is call B.S.: The Lenders Obama Decided to Blame Peter A. Weinberg and Joseph R. Perella are part of a band […]

“The stimulus-and-bailout policies have not addressed the fundamental problems of the economy — namely, an excess of debt and a shortage of capital to spur job creation — while the entitlement trainwreck of Social Security and Medicare loom immediately ahead. By piling on new trillion-dollar deficits, at a time when the recession will result in […]

When Bush was in office and the GOP had the power to kill the judicial filibuster via the nuclear option, they chose not to do so, despite the fact that several lower court conservative judges were never seated as a result of that decision. This was another one of those fault lines between conservatives across […]

“The Government has taken tax up to 50 per cent, and if it goes to 51 I will be back in America,” he said at the weekend. “We’ve got 3.5 million layabouts on benefits, and I’m 76, getting up at 6am to go to work to keep them.” — Michael Caine “Bill Maher is a […]

As you may or may not know, I just sent the last week touring the houses of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe – three of this nation’s founding fathers. So when I glanced through the following interview with Barack Obama I tried to picture any of these three men ever contemplating this question […]

Las Vegas provides its share of decadence, but Nevada is for the most part a down-to-earth place populated by the sort of decent people the liberal elite sneers at. How could it have inflicted on this country the corrupt and treasonous leftist weasel Harry Reid? Western Representation PAC crunched the numbers and came up with […]

Bank of America has fired chairman Kenneth Lewis, and come up with a new chairman, Walter Massey, who is much more suited to today’s American business environment. Whatever Massey’s other qualifications, it would be naive not to suspect that his racial credentials got him the job. Massey is so ethnically correct, he’s the president emeritus […]

While it is very unlikely you’ll die from Swine, aka H1N1, Flu, it is very likely that you’ll die. [History lesson here.] The odds are clearly stacked against all humans. None yet has escaped death. Most of us, though, when pressed, would like to live as long as possible. Even many who think that life […]
