“What has talk radio done for us lately?” That’s the title of Andrew Pavelyev’s new article at David Frum’s NewMajority.com. Since Frum has been making a new career out of critcizing Rush Limbaugh – complete with a widely discussed Newsweek cover story —  you can guess the thesis of Pavelyev’s wonkish article: “While not actually […]

A rather abundant number of years ago, I became aware of a whole subculture of humanity that I suspect exists within all societies that get things done. I shall call it, until such time as a better phrasing comes along, the “All Those Not Volunteering Take One Step Back” culture. A task arises, executive in […]

This is a tiny tempest metaphorical of a much greater thing, that which is being batted back-and-forth, from sea to shining sea, right now. Rush Limbaugh on President Obama’s plan to re-make the United States into a dirty little European-style socialist mud-puddle enclave: What is so strange about being honest in saying I want Barack […]

I am still trying to decide what I think about this situation: A judge in Wake County said three Raleigh children need to switch from home school to public school. Judge Ned Mangum is presiding over divorce proceeding of the children’s parents, Thomas and Venessa Mills. Venessa Mills was in the fourth year of home […]

Baldwin Park democrat, speaking for probably several others: President Obama did not come down from on high. He is not a miracle worker. He can not wave a magic wand and make things miraculously happen. He is a mortal. A human being. Nothing more and nothing less. President Obama and his Administration hit the ground […]

Megan McArdle: Our sister publication asks analysts whether the administration’s economic forecasts are too optimistic. They would have gotten a more interesting discussion if their query had been “Is the Pope Catholic?” Of course they’re too optimistic. In fact, the word optimistic is too optimistic. A better choice might have been “insane”. Like Greg Mankiw, […]

Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina, said this the other day about the possible effects of all of the spending the Obama administration was doing and planning: “What you’re doing is buying into the notion that if we just print some more money that we don’t have, send it to different states — we’ll […]

Maxine Waters scandal….Democrats sure are rich! Know Thine Enemy: Socialists Beheadings are so silly! This just in: The World Is NOT In Fact Ending At This Present Moment. All Crisis Talk Was Just For My Own Amusement….Oh, And It Was Politically Useful. And It Was Fun! Enforcing the Country of Birth Proof clause…a new bill. […]

…there’s no place to go but down. Looks like President Obama is coming into the land of mere mortals, not that the press would portray him that way: A detailed examination of presidential popularity after 50 days on the job similarly demonstrates a substantial drop in presidential approval relative to other elected presidents in the […]

I probably should have stuck this graphic from RWN reader DrucilaB in The Democrats’ Rush Billboard Fail post (We’re almost at 100 suggestions for the Obama billboard contest for Monday and there is still time to add yours), but this was good enough that it deserved its own post. Lol, awesome!

First KGB alumnus and current Russian strongman Vladimir Putin warned us not to commit economic suicide by going off the rails into socialism, now it’s the nominally still communist Chinese: China’s premier didn’t say it in so many words, but the implied warning to Washington was blunt: Don’t devalue the dollar through reckless spending. Premier […]

Tax and spend liberals have been driving anyone interested in producing wealth out of California, leaving the state on the brink of bankruptcy. Chairman Zero and friends must figure this won’t be a problem for them, because you can’t escape the federal Leviathan by moving from one state to another. But then, you could always […]

Barack Obama is trying to do nothing less than radically and permanently restructure the United States of America. He has already, in the very limited time he has been in office, spent more money we don’t have on things we don’t need than any President in American history — and he’s just getting warmed up. […]

Although I think the Democratic attacks on Rush are doing very little for them even as they build up his audience, there was one particular piece of their campaign that was worth copying, …The RNC could learn something from the “Send Rush a message” contest that the Democratic Party is running, We’ll go through all […]

A group of economists asked to assess the efforts of both Obama and Geithner were none too impressed: U.S. President Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner received failing grades for their efforts to revive the economy from participants in the latest Wall Street Journal forecasting survey. The economists’ assessment stands in stark contrast with […]

The USA hosts the United Nations and is by far its largest financial supporter, providing 22% of this nefarious institution’s operating budget. In return, this is the gratitude we receive from head UN bureauweenie Ban Ki-Moonbat: A day after his White House meeting with President Obama, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon raised congressional hackles by calling […]

If Chairman Zero doesn’t know what private citizen he should attack in his next lame attempt to distract us from what he’s doing to the economy, he can always ask the Soros-financed Commie Conference. From Politico: The vast new left-wing conspiracy sets its tone every morning at 8:45 a.m., when officials from more than 20 […]

Most people who make it to adulthood have been hurt or harmed by another human being. Some have been hurt by the very one who should defend and protect them like parents, teachers, ministers. That’s a horrible sort of betrayal. And yet, most people don’t make a list, add to it yearly and finally, load […]

As people who have closely — or even not so closely — followed Barack Obama have come to realize, much of his rhetoric is right out of the George Orwell school of Newspeak. Even as he pushes radical, massive shifts of power from the people to the government, he declares that he opposes big government. […]

Michael Steele is in trouble again with Republicans, but this time, unlike the Rush Limbaugh / RNC Nazi flap, the criticism is totally undeserved. Here’s how Steele supposedly stepped in it on abortion, How much of your pro-life stance, for you, is informed not just by your Catholic faith but by the fact that you […]

What’s next? I’ll tell you what’s next… Nancy Pelosi! Nancy Pelosi! This piece of trash is in the news again. Supposedly, some watchdog group intercepted emails from Nancy Pelosi asking for military planes to fly her and her family back and forth across the country every freaking weekend. Sometimes she would reserve these planes, get […]

I’d like to thank Houston Chronicle editors Dwight Silverman and Will Radcliff for inviting me and a bunch of other featured bloggers to observe the editorial process at The Chron and also for some pizza and a bull session afterwards. You can see who all attended at John Kuglar’s page. Back in college, I worked […]

I just cannot get enough of these schlock Obama pictures. Here, we have Wolfman Obama getting ready to chow down on Uncle Sam. That was apparently a response to an old cover of the Nation that featured this image. Admittedly, Obama is a little tough to categorize as a monster. A Siren would be perfect, […]

I absolutely loved the concept behind Scratch Beginnings and admired Adam Shepard for coming up with that fantastic idea straight out of college, when many of us were flailing around, doing meaningless jobs without being able to write a book about our experiences. What follows is the slightly edited transcript of my interview with Adam. […]

Both Camille Paglia and Howard Fineman give an assessement (although not presented as a 50 day assessment). Paglia says, “free Obama from his advisors“: Yes, free the president from his flacks, fixers and goons — his posse of smirky smart alecks and provincial rubes, who were shrewd enough to beat the slow, pompous Clintons in […]
