Everybody panic! UCONN Police Reporting a Suspicious Occurrence and Safety Alert: On 2/7/09 at approximately 6:35 PM a suspicious incident occurred at Hilltop Apartments, in the parking lot between the Beard and French buildings. A male approached a female from the opposite direction and came up within several feet of her personal space. The female […]

Joltin’ Joe Biden previewed it in Germany yesterday: As promised, Vice President Joe Biden reached out to the international community Saturday, saying the U.S. is open for talks with Iran and Russia to repair relations, and willing to work with allies to solve world problems. But in his first major foreign policy speech for the […]

From my latest American Spectator column: . . . The real problem with the stimulus bill is not that it is too big (although it is too big) nor its various objectionable ingredients (although many are objectionable), but rather that it is based on a false economic theory. “The American people…did not vote for the […]

American society as a whole, and politics in particular, has become considerably ruder, cruder, less civil and more paranoid than it used to be. There are a lot of factors that have contributed to this latest round of cultural degeneration, but I think the internet deserves to get more than a smidgen of the blame […]

Yes, even a stopped clock is right twice a day, and it’s that time of day of the United Nations — actually describing objective facts related to the Israeli-Arab conflict that depart from the “noble savages” script regarding Palestinians. Get this: Christopher Gunness, a spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, said Hamas […]

I thought it was interesting a few minutes ago when I noticed my local paper’s editorial section has four cartoons — all four of them are dedicated to a common theme. That these “Wall Street executives” are receiving huge bonuses and compensation for their experience, and it’s just a big crock. One sympathizes. Who among […]

Hmmm, how many times during the HopeyChangey campaign (which is still going strong at barackobama.com) did we hear something similar to this? As President, I would deploy at least two additional brigades to Afghanistan to re-enforce our counter-terrorism operations and support NATO’s efforts against the Taliban. Now we get PRESIDENT Barack Obama has demanded that […]

What’s next? I’ll tell you what’s next… The stimulus package! The stimulus package!! I’m sick of turning on the t.v. everyday and listening to people talk about the stimulus package. 50, 60, 70 people analyzing this thing. Let me break it down to you in simplest terms. NOBODY is against the stimulus package! No Republican. […]

A graphic memoir, of course. But the subject would have to be suitably stirring to warrant the treatment usually accorded superheroes. You’d want a real-life hero: someone like William Ayers. William Ayers? Of course. Calvin Reid of Publishers Weekly writes: Teachers College Press, a scholarly, professional and trade publisher focused on the theory and practice […]

How it is understood that your brain is a moped engine powering a Humvee — and so quickly, with such certainty, by so many. Where exactly is that “I’m a moron” sign located? You’ve checked and checked, it doesn’t seem to be written on your forehead, but people around you act as if it is. […]

I’m not an economist and I don’t even play one on TV. I am a one-time history major, though, and someone with the kind of knowledge-base that’s built up over years of being an autodidact, an employee and a small business owner. While I don’t understand economics at a complex level (I’m a lousy investor), […]

File under Things I Could Happily Lived The Rest of My Life Without Thinking About: One night, New York Times columnist Judith Warner had a dream about the president taking a shower in her house. Then a friend of hers confided that she’d had an Obama dream, too. So, Warner “launched an e-mail inquiry” to […]

Listening to the breathless media coverage of The One recently, you’d think this was the first time a sitting President had ever reached across the aisle to his opponents. NPR even gets a former Republican to bash George Bush so they don’t have to. So good for the street cred: All that praise for the […]

(This is the first of my multi-part series for Examiner.com, debunking liberal media myths about the Vietnam War.) It’s one of the most famous images of the 20th century. Eddie Adams’ Pulitzer Prize winning 1968 photograph of an execution on a Vietnam street has been reprinted and reenacted countless times. In the film Stardust Memories, […]

Here’s the Right Wing News guest blogger line-up this week-end. Saturday ——– Bookworm from Bookworm Room Cassy Fiano Kathy Shaidle Five Feet Of Fury Morgan from House of Eratosthenes B. Daniel Blatt from GayPatriot Gina Cobb John Stephenson from Stop The ACLU Little Miss Attila Cassandra from Villainous Company Sunday ——- Ron Coleman from Likelihood […]

Well, after Democratic assurances that the Fairness Doctrine wasn’t something they planned to pursue, Michigan Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow muddied those waters again. Appearing on the Bill Press Show she had this to say: BILL PRESS: Yeah, I mean, look: They have a right to say that. They’ve got a right to express that. But, […]

Um, huh? The new Senate cuts, if passed, “will do violence to the future,” said Pelosi, who is also pressing a reluctant Obama to repeal Bush administration tax cuts for the wealthy before they expire at the end of 2010.  Unfortunately, it looks like some wishy washy Rerhinocans have made a deal, so, instead of […]

Remember how so many critics of former President George W. Bush called the Texan “divisive”? One columnist contended that the Republican used “scare tactics” to “demean politics and voters.” They faulted him for deriding his opponents. Now, I have a challenge for those who continue to berate Bush. Can you find anything in his speeches […]

Diane Feinstein might vote against the Stimulus Bill. Will Specter, Collins and Snowe be Republican turncoats? (P.S. There is fresh, different content over at MelissaClouthier.com This was so important I thought I’d come over and share the info here.)

It’s a fine line, isn’t it? I mean, really, an unwanted child shouldn’t be in this world because that’s bad. So, I think we should reframe this unfortunate event as a mercy killing. RedInkTexas notes that the mother might as well say, “I want you to murder my unborn child, I just don’t want to […]

Now that Daschle bowed out, health care reform pushes to the back burner. Bob Laszewski is disappointed. It is also possible that Obama’s biggest health care reform challenge may not come from Republicans but from those on the far left of his own party. Their pushing on things like a public health plan to compete […]

The premiere is tonight at the Kennedy Center. Citizens United produced the documentary, and my friend Matthew Taylor was director of photography. (Cross-posted at The Other McCain.)

I know, I know, it happens hundreds of times a day, and our tax money supports it. But this case is particularly appalling. Eighteen and pregnant, Sycloria Williams went to an abortion clinic outside Miami and paid $1,200 for Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique to terminate her 23-week pregnancy. Three days later, she sat in a […]

It isn’t easy to be cheesy even by Obamunist standards: It goes from cornrows to afro in 1-2 weeks, and can be yours for a mere $19.95. No shrine to the Moonbat Messiah is complete without one. Order quickly, before Chairman Zero forbids graven images of His Hopiness. On tips from Lyle. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

I’ve been going through the Senate Republican phone list this morning, calling various Senators to urge them to vote “no” on this Porkzilla plan. The first person I called was Senator Mel Martinez (who I, incidentally, met last year). The DC office line was busy, but I got right through on his Florida line. I […]

Think this will go over well with the Obamanuts? A TASMANIAN winery has launched a new range of wines with labels featuring terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. Another label reproduces an image that surfaced from the torture scandal at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, of a hooded prisoner with electric wires attached to his hands. […]

Last week it was the O-Team preparing for lighting raids on Obama-brand-equity rustlers. But maybe the Obama Administration needs to set its own White House house in order, as the AP reports that the AP is coming after President Obama for its piece of icon pie. It turns out that The Image is based on, […]

What a shocking surprise: Robert Gibbs has not been a great press secretary and this little exchange, where he was humiliated enough by Jake Tapper to cause the rest of the media in the press conference to release audible gasps of surprise, just goes to show it. Of course, Gibbs is not as smooth a […]

Say, ‘memba this snippet from a Yahoo Neews article (since removed) about the China earthquake (taken from Moonbattery) Natural disasters killed over 220,000 people in 2008, making it one of the most devastating years on record and underlining the need for a global climate deal … an earthquake shook China’s Sichuan province, leaving 70,000 dead, […]

Yesterday my 16 yr old is telling me that he just can’t believe that Michael Phelps got caught smoking pot. I sit quietly, because the last thing I want to do is tell my teenager that I think pot should at the very most be a minor infraction, and that we fill our jails with […]
