Nasty man

The Times reports that Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire mayor of New York who has everything, now also has a pretty sleazy — and by all indications, gratuitous — campaign dirty trick to his credit. It’s push-polling to slime his rival for the mayoralty, Anthony Weiner: As his campaign sought to overpower any candidate considering challenging […]

On That Rescue Of Captain Phillips From The Pirates….

Not to rain on progressives “see, we told you Obama was Da Man and would TCOB!” parade, but, via The Other McCain through Gateway Pundit from Blackfive, a little follow up I just finished listening to the press conference w/ ADM Gortney about the rescue of Captain Phillips. At the time it happened the USS […]

SNL Takes a Dig at Chris Matthews

I don’t care much for SNL, but they pegged Chris Matthews’ hero-worshipping of Barack Obama accurately with a skit they did last night in which they had Matthews imagining the President in a loincloth. Brent Baker has the details here. For recent quotes of Matthews’ salvating over Obama, click here. Cross-posted from the Sister Toldjah […]

SEALs 4, Pirates 0 – Final

Some form of strange aquatic life, not native to the coast of Somalia, helped Captain Richard Phillips escape his pirate captives. He’s now safe aboard the USS Bainbridge. The pirates? Not so good: The American captain of a cargo ship held hostage by pirates jumped overboard from the lifeboat where he was being held, and […]

Oh, Snap! AGW Legislation To Create More “Victims”

How cool is this? Not only will the AGW legislation raise the price of basically everything but air, create energy shortages, force companies out of business, and accomplish nothing, but, it will create a whole new victims class, and we all know how the Left likes creating victims An under-the-radar provision in a House climate […]

Happy Easter!

Matthew 28:1-10 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His […]

Attempts to Discredit Tea Party Movement

As the tea party movement gains momentum, many supports of the President (and opponents of free markets) are becoming increasingly agitated, eager to smear, slander and otherwise discredit the movement. Through e-mail (and in the comments), some of my liberal readers at GayPatriot have suggested that the anti-gay AFA’s (American Family Association) backing of some […]

Is Obamania a Product of Bush-hatred?

As part of my graduate work in Mythology (and before that out of intellectual curiosity), I have read much Jungian psychology. Carl Jung was fascinated by pairings of opposites. He explored the psychological meanings of polarities in alchemy and the hieros gamos, the sacred marriage, a union of opposites. Earlier today, when reading a book […]

Right Wing Radio Roundup: April 6 – 10

Camille Paglia may be a lesbian liberal literary critic, but she’s also an unapologetic fan of conservative talk radio. In her latest exchange of letters and ideas with her readers at Salon.com, she rightly praises Rush Limbaugh’s house parodist, Paul Shanklin as “one of the most brilliant” – and criminally underrated – “satirists of our […]

Seventeen Socialists in the House

An entry in Glenn Thrush’s blog at Politico indicates there may be seventeen socialists in the House of Representatives. Rep. Spencer Bachus, the top Republican on the Financial Services Committee, told a hometown crowd in Alabama today that he believes there are several socialists in the House. Actually, he says there are exactly 17 socialists […]

Life imitates the Simpsons

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano: “I referred to “man-caused” disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.” The Pentagon: “This administration prefers to avoid using the term ‘Long War’ or […]

Bowing, Boasting and Bloviating

I‘ve pretty much avoided mention of the bowing incident – it’s a distraction from the more serious things going on. But then the White House says we shouldn’t believe what we saw and throws out a couple of the most ridiculous reasons for what the President did that I’ve heard (an “unnamed” White House source […]

Coolness, Suckage, Pain and Time

Via blogger friend Rick, we have some video of Sen. Chuck Schumer sticking to the meme that is going to lose the next several elections for his oh-so-powerful democrat party…and the Senator is blissfully unaware of what’s coming out of his mouth. Like a dumb schoolgirl in the tenth grade, he thinks the elections were […]

Yeah, we’re crazy!

E.D. Kain asserts that “many neocons and movement conservative types are suffering from a total break with reality.” This gets him linked by Andrew Sullivan, naturally, since the Trig Truther loves nothing better than this armchair Adorno trick of treating conservative dissent as a symptom of psychopathology. Kain’s implicit syllogism is this: All reasonable men […]

Your Tax Dollar Buys a Pricey Pizza

The privileges of being more equal than any other animal on the farm are sweet. While CEOs are publicly excoriated for traveling by private jet, Comrade Obama just had a chef flown across the country to make him a pizza. When you’re the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do — […]

American Spirit Sighted in Hawaii

Despite all the Hope and Change, America isn’t dead yet. While bureaucrats wait to squander their cut of the stimulus boondoggle like dogs wagging their tails beneath the dining room table, private citizens attend to the work that needs to get done: Their livelihood was being threatened, and they were tired of waiting for government […]

Illegal Immigration: The Tactics To Watch Out For

Yesterday, while breaking a little news in my Roy Beck From NumbersUSA — Amnesty Won’t Pass House Or Senate post, I made a prediction as well, “I have absolutely no doubt that Barack Obama would love to push amnesty through; however, my gut instinct is that he’s going to turn out to be all talk […]

This Week In Quotes: April 4-10

Here are the quotes that caught my eye over the last week: “If Obama loves Europe and dislikes the U.S. so much he should just stay there.” — Ace “I just don’t get it. Apparently (Levi Johnson’s) thinking that he just impregnated and abandoned a 17 year old girl, so it must be his time […]
