‘No Questions. No Debate. You’re Unionized.’

“Labor union bosses are on the verge of passing legislation called the Employee Free Choice Act and denying employees the right to cast their ballot in private in union organizing elections. Rather than holding a monitored workplace election using secret ballots as has been the case for decades, under this proposal the union would automatically […]

Today’s Stupid: The Word “Fellow” Is Now Sexist

Garbage like this sure doesn’t come from the Conservative side of the political aisle: Waupun school fears ‘fellows’ in fight song sexist The principal at Waupun High School has had the school’s fight song rewritten because he feared its use of the word “fellow” could be construed as sexist. Principal Jeff Finstad says most people […]

The ‘Economist ‘ Discovers A Leadership Problem

I continue to be amazed that seemingly smart people are just suddenly figuring this out. “Blinders” doesn’t begin to describe what it must have taken to ignore Obama’s lack of experience and to hope the fact that he’d never displayed a scintilla of leadership in anything he’d ever done would somehow rectify itself prior to […]

Final Weekend Before NY-20 Is Decided In Special Election

The race between Jim Tedisco (R) and Scott Murphy (D) for the NY-20 seat (formerly held by Kirsten Gillibrand, who was appointed to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate), has become – over the last couple of weeks – a “dead heat“: NEW YORK, March 27 — The only competitive House race in the nation […]

The parliamentary presidency

Moderates — including moderate conservatives who, I think, are even more “moderate” than yours truly — have had it with President Obama. Liberals, at first disappointed with what had encouraged those moderates, are really unhappy now. And surrenderists of all stripes in Congress? They don’t know what to do! Even the MSM is getting off […]

Memo For File LXXXV

Call this one: On the Folly of Victimology In reflecting on the different standards that are applied to women like Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, versus persons of color such as the Obamas, I notice a consistent logical flaw in the way the big, amoebic, mythical “everybody” thinks. Like all logical flaws that are possible […]

You know, we’re just too hard on rapists these days

The latest questionable post on Feministing is not what I would have initially expected upon reading the first line, especially considering my experience with the man-haters of feminism. But when I dove deeper into the post, it started making more and more sense… at least, from a liberal standpoint. I think we need to stop […]

Hillary: hey, who painted Our Lady of Guadalupe?

Our brilliant new Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, made a pilgrimage to Mexico, where she visited the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. While there, she asked a really stupid question: During her recent visit to Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unexpected stop at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe […]

The Root Causes of Income Inequality: Why Big Government is Not the Answer

In November of 2008 a charismatic and gifted politician with little or no executive experience was elevated to what is arguably the world’s most difficult and powerful position. Both historically and statistically speaking, Obama’s victory was remarkable: Since the Civil War, 49 men have won a major-party presidential nomination. Only three of these nominees were […]

What Barney Frank Could Learn from Oedipus

Back in 1989, shortly after I moved to Washington, D.C., news broke that Barney Frank’s housemate (lover, in some accounts) Stephen Gobie was running a prostitution ring out of the Massachusetts Congressman’s Washington, D.C. home. Not just that, Frank used his congressional privilege to fix Gobie’s parking tickets and intervened on his behalf with Virginia […]

Obama’s Idealistic Supporters & His Administration’s Reality

In commenting on an editorial in the Economist wondering where President Obama went wrong, the ever insightful Jennifer Rubin summarizes how this supposedly post-partisan leader has governed. His mode of governance — denigrate the opposition, engage in ad hominem attacks, refuse to compromise on substantive policy, disguise radical policy intentions with a haze of meaningless […]

The ‘Ransom-Note Method,’ explained

With a special shout-out to David Brooks and the Crapweasel Coalition: Here’s a clue for the youngsters: If the New York Times ever offers to publish you, you’re doing something wrong. It is cowardly punks like David Brooks, and all their sorry crapweasel imitators, who make the Ransom Note Method such an effective weapon for […]

Is Barack Obama evil?

While we were having lunch today, my dear friend Don Quixote asked “Do you think Barack Obama is evil?” I hedged. “That’s an interesting question. Why do you ask?” “I’m getting the feeling,” he answered, “that conservatives are starting to define Obama as being evil. At least, that’s the impression I get from the emails […]

Right Wing Radio Review: highlights for the week of March 23

Weeks after his news-making CPAC speech, and revelations that he’d been the target of a White House smear campaign, Rush Limbaugh continued to enjoy a through the roof ratings boost. Radio Equalizer crunches the numbers, adding this tidbit: “…implementation of the new, far more accurate electronic Portable People Meter (PPM) ratings system has benefited talk […]

Best Sentence LVIII

The fifty-eighth Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL) award goes out to a fourteen-year-old film, Braveheart. Mel Gibson once again reserves the best lines for himself, time index 1:35:20. There’s a difference between us; you think the people of this country exist to provide you with position — I think your position exists […]

Is Barack Obama Evil?

For the last eight years, the Left labeled George W. Bush evil. I found this amusing since many doing the lecturing viewed any judgment or condemnation of nearly anything to be unacceptable, as only a post-modernist can. Radical Islam? Not evil. Using human shields? Not evil. Saddam Hussein? Not evil. The Axis of Evil? Not […]

Is there Anything These Boobs Won’t Try To Regulate Or Intrude Upon?

And yes, it’s another Republican: Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, may be a skinny guy with a high voice. But he’s angrily setting out to tackle the biggest powers in college football, vowing to pound them until they reform the Bowl Championship Series. He called them out Wednesday, as he and Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wisc. — […]

The GIVE Act: ‘Anatomy of a scam’

That’s what Carter Clews of Americans for Limited Government calls the GIVE (Generations Invigorating Volunteers and Education) Act: [Supporters of the bill] would tell you that all they’re trying to do is help 250,000 wonderful young unemployed volunteers find a way to serve the country. And who could possibly oppose that? Well, perhaps, the wonderful […]

Another Danger Sign In Afghanistan

I’m glad to see Barack Obama ignoring, at least for the moment, the voices of those in his own party who want to cut and run in Afghanistan. During the campaign, he talked a lot about ramping up our efforts there and he does seem to be making some efforts on that front. That being […]

We’re Finally Getting Around To The Real Scandal At AIG

The bonuses at AIG have been the hot button issue, but now we’re starting to get to the real meat of the problem, Members of Congress and the New York State attorney general demanded detailed information Thursday on how tens of billions of taxpayer dollars flowed through the American International Group during its crisis last […]

Time Running Out For Obama In Afghanistan, Now With ‘Splodin!

There’s quite a discussion going on in the blogosphere regarding President Obamateur’s Afghanistan plans, which you can view over at Memeorandum (here and here), but here is some information that seems to be missing, and it takes the far left UK Guardian to show The Obama administration believes it has only a small window of […]

White People With Blue Eyes Caused the Financial Crisis

We now have a culprit in the global financial mess. Many thought it was caused by liberal politicians who forced banks to make loans based on ethnicity instead of ability to repay, and by ACORN thugs like Barack Obama who enforced these insane policies with lawsuits and other intimidation tactics. Thanks to Fannie Mae and […]
