Now the socialists in the Obama administration are moving to actually micromanage what people can be paid, Later this morning the White House and Treasury Department will announce new restrictions on executive compensation on financial institutions receiving government funds. An Obama administration official tells ABC News that under the new rules, companies receiving exceptional assistance […]

Here at the beach, we’re having the hardest snow I’ve seen since I moved here. This is actually the first time I’ve seen the snow stick on the ground. Of course, that doesn’t make us Green Bay or anything, but still, I’d like to thank Al Gore for going so over-the-top in an effort to […]

From RWN reader RtWingNtCase, Wow, provincial elections are over and now I can take a breath. At least until we gear back into registering SoIZ (Sons of Iraq) again. I’ve been able to kind of follow the news over here and was stunned to see that the Republicans held together against the Stimulus Plan. I […]

Of course “Dear Leader” and the boys also call the missile the Taepodong-2 and it is supposedly capable of reaching the US (Alaska or Hawaii – and no Sarah Palin can’t see NoKo from Alaska). But as the title indicates, there’s little doubt about why it is to be launched: The apparent preparations for a […]

No wonder Democrats are so gung-ho about the Unfairness Doctrine, which would coerce radio stations to feature left-wing talk show hosts even if no one wants to listen to them. Two weeks into the Age of Obama, and already DC’s WWRC OBAMA 1260 has been forced to change format because radio listeners get enough moonbattery […]

It used to confuse me that 20-something adolescents in black clothes with bugs in their hair call themselves anarchists while espousing a communist ideology by which the State provides everything for free at someone else’s expense. If anarchy is no government, and communism is absolute enslavement to government, that would make them opposites, right? But […]

Dave Weigel interviewed a Republican activist from Virginia at the RNC meeting: According to Chase, what the Republicans needed was more clarity, more conservatism, and more exposing of how the Democrats wanted to run people’s lives — how they wanted to decide which baby birds got the worms. “I supported Mitt Romney, because John McCain […]

The old rule used to be that if you can’t do, teach. The new rule is that if you can’t do, become a TV “expert”. I’ve done enough media to be a total hypocrite about this, just for your information. But still, who thought it was a good idea to give Matt Millen Big Fat […]

For a big man, President Barack Obama sure has a small man’s complex. The Anchoress has written repeatedly about Barack Obama’s smallness, his “lack of generosity”. Here she says about Obama’s treatment of the Iraqi voting triumph: How awful and really sad, and incredibly childish, to think you can only be proud of your country […]

Liberals say we don’t. This story says that we do. North Korea to ‘Test Missile Capable of Striking U.S.’ North Korea is preparing to test fire a long range missile capable of striking the United States, according to media reports in South Korea and Japan this morning. The Yonhap News Agency in Seoul quoted South […]

It seems to have escaped the notice of very few people that the Democratic Party is incessantly calling for taxes on the American people even as some of its highest ranking members have cheated on their taxes. This has produced a bevy of great quotes today, “Change… It Used to Be We Found Out About […]

“The grand Keynesian myth is that you can spend money and thereby increase demand. And it’s a myth because Congress does not have a vault of money to distribute in the economy. Every dollar Congress injects into the economy must first be taxed or borrowed out of the economy. You’re not creating new demand, you’re […]

Liberals view the government as a force for good that should be used at every possible opportunity to reorder people’s lives. This is an outgrowth of the liberal belief that most people are stupid and unable to ascertain what’s in their own best interests without the intercession of their superiors (liberals) to show them what’s […]

Had a discussion with a liberal Texan who has not, in her adult years, experienced economic difficulty. That is, unlike me, she has not lived in an economically dying state (New York in the mid-90’s, Michigan in the late 90’s early 00’s) and finally, an economically dead state (NY and MI now). So, a few […]

Okay, guys. I know you’re at work and can’t watch video. So come back tonight, when you get home and watch this. It’s been ridiculous that there hasn’t been anyone able to imitate Obama since he’s so easily impersonated. Finally, a spoof: Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com

Liberals are certainly getting our money’s worth out of taxpayer-subsidized PBS affiliate KCET in Los Angeles. Check out this completely over the top ode to Chairman Zero: Obama is the more perfect union. He is a house united. Obama is the New Generation and the hot light of a dawn that goes way beyond clever […]

We don’t have to wait for $trillion dollar “stimulus” packages to cause a complete economic collapse to have cool postapocalyptic adventures like Mad Max. Thanks to having been run exclusively by lefties for decades, America’s most liberal city has already crossed into the bleak future moonbattery has in store for us, making it an ideal […]

I just finished a teleconference with one of my favorite senators, Jeff Sessions, on the Stimulus bill. What follows are my notes, not quotes, from the teleconference. Opening Statement From Jeff Sessions I still think people are not recognizing the size of this bill. It’s the largest spending program in the history of the country […]

Every time I see one of these stories I just shake my head in wonder. Obama and Congress are frothing at the mouth at those Wall Street types for paying out 18 billion in “bonuses”. Of course, had Congress not acted like a panicked herd of wildebeast when Paulson came flapping around declaring the sky […]

Please ignore the outrage you hear from Congress about Citi almost buying a new airplane. Apparently that’s an inappropriate expenditure of bailout funds. But this, one assumes, is appropriate: New York’s Charles Rangel and five other Democratic members of the House enjoyed a trip to the Caribbean sponsored in part by Citigroup (see above) in […]

Australia’s socialist prime minister is, like many of his liberal brethren here in the States, rubbing his hands together with glee at the prospect of using the fiscal crisis we’re in right now to empower government at the expense of the market. KEVIN RUDD has denounced the unfettered capitalism of the past three decades and […]

I wrote this to respond to another writer who cautioned Republicans against the new media. I think that’s very bad advice. Here’s a bit of my response: Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter provide a means to communicate directly to voters bypassing a self-admittedly biased media. If a politician were told there is a […]

One of the biggest mistakes people tend to make is to assume that the party in power is winning because it’s full of strategic geniuses. Of course, most of the political strategists in DC are “geniuses” in the same way that the penguin and Mr. Freeze were criminal geniuses in the Batman comic books. They’d […]

When Pajamas Media first came on the scene, I wrote several articles about them, most of which were skeptical about their advertising model. Since then, I’ve developed a good business relationship with Pajamas and have written columns for them, but given that their advertising network went belly-up this week-end, I feel like I’d be remiss […]

My latest at Pajamas Media: You knew the contest to become chairman of the Republican National Committee was getting ugly when they started throwing around nasty slurs like “moderate.” Michael Steele got tagged with the dreaded M-word as part of a vicious guilt-by-association smear. He sustained more damage from his acquaintance with RINOs like Christie […]

“Using these same principles, for example, I would strongly recommend against having the Obama Administration level talks with Iran. Why? Because merely coming to the table would be perceived as victory for them over America, there is no indication whatsoever that we have a genuine opportunity to talk productively, and it’s to their advantage, not […]

Fox News reports that President Obama is talking about how many American troops will be home from Iraq by the next Super Bowl: A “substantial” number of the 140,000 troops in Iraq will be able to return home by next year’s Super Bowl, President Obama said in an interview on Sunday before Super Bowl XLIII […]

After all the complaints about New Orleans, you’d think the Obama administration would be sensitive to this sort of thing: In some parts of rural Kentucky, they’re getting water the old-fashioned way — with pails from a creek. There’s not room for one more sleeping bag on the shelter floor. The creative are flushing their […]
