OK, AGW Believers, step up to the truth detector: are you for or against this? Will you follow this advice? Or, will you finally admit that the anthropogenic global warming craze has gotten beyond absurd? Two children should be limit, says green guru COUPLES who have more than two children are being “irresponsible” by creating […]

Bloomberg News reports that “my generation”‘s President is every bit as thoroughly modern as you’d expect. In other words, no unauthorized drawing down of his icon-equity will be permitted: White House lawyers want to control the use of the president’s image, recognizing the worldwide fascination about Obama’s election, First Amendment free-speech rights and easy access […]

  While I’m rooting for the Steelers (my Dad’s a big fan, grew up in the area,) I think the Cards are going to take it by 10. What’s your prediction? Oh, bonus Cardinals cheerleaders visiting the troops Cheerleaders, guns……yup, that’s how I envision my death.

“Nothing catches an editor’s eye like a good rape.” — Hunter S. Thompson Remember that New York Times piece last week about how “experts” said the rise in teen pregnancy didn’t really represent any increase in teen promiscuity? Now, a noted authority on the subject is raising doubts: Well, that settles it, eh? Despite the […]

If the Senate confirms Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health and Human Services, at least two members of the president’s cabinet will be tax scofflaws, leading my friend David Boaz of the Cato Institute to remark, “It’s too bad Leona Helmsley can’t be nominated as Commerce Secretary.” Given that the president is from Chicago where […]

In his piece, “Bush Hatred and Obama Euphoria Are Two Sides of the Same Coin” in today’s Wall Street Journal, Peter Berkowitz builds on a point I made a couple weeks ago on GayPatriot, Obama Worship: Flip Side of Bush Hatred. Finding that “Bush hatred and Obama euphoria . . . tend to reveal more […]

Are you getting the feeling that Obama, contrary to the hope hype, is a very grim, depressed man?   Since the precise moment of his inauguration, his every pronouncement has been redolent of hopelessness and anger. My feeling is that, if Obama is going to style himself the second Roosevelt when it comes to American economics, […]

I was scanning over fellow Right Wing News contributor Dr. Melissa Clouthier‘s thoughts about the way Sarah Palin was treated in the election last year. I thought it would be good to jot down some theories I’ve had rattling around in my head, which I can’t prove but can’t disprove either. Some of them cannot […]

Another day, another illiterate, belligerent Muslim takes a Canadian conservative to the “Human Rights” Commission… When I was in London talking about my book The Tyranny of Nice, I met lots of wonderful folks, including blogger Andrew Lawton. (If you’ve ever been to CPAC, you might have met Andrew — he’s quite the gregarious fellow.) […]

After 2 years of lambasting the Bush administration about its supposed failure to adhere to the rule of law, it takes a military judge to remind our new President that he too must adhere to it. You may remember that the new commander-in-chief issued a request (which is, in reality, an order) that the military […]

In case you weren’t aware, the vote for RNC Chairman is today. The 168 members of the RNC Committee are the ones making the decision. Here are the candidates and the conventional wisdom about each one. Mike Duncan: He’s the current RNC Chair. He has the best relationship with the members, but no charisma and […]

Hopey Change has reached an elementary school in Sin City: At least three of the five classrooms have an overhead projector and as the children stand to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the teacher turns on the classroom overhead and a full body image of Obama, with six U.S. flags behind him, comes up about […]

New York’s nanny-Nazi governor Mike Bloomberg, having saved his subjects from the perils of trans fats, is taking his jihad against consumer choice national by waging war on salt: The city’s plan is to get food manufacturers in the United States to agree to gradually start reducing salt content until it reaches a 50 percent […]

Question: “What do you think about: a) Negotiating with the Taliban or b) Negotiating with people who are allied with the Taliban, but no Taliban leadership?” — D-Vega Answer: I think whether you negotiate with your enemies or not is a very situational decision that tends to depend on their strength, whether there is a […]

Question: “What do you think the Republican Party will look like by the time the 2010 mid-terms roll around? I try not to get too excited about the recent show of unity of the GOP in the House, because we all know they would have been more than happy to vote for a $500 Billion […]

Question: “John, what are your thoughts on the proposed changes to the U.S. Postal Service in the wake of reduced volume of mail and reduced revenues? Do you think it is a smart idea for them to continue to punish the very people still using their service in order to survive? And as a follow-up […]

Question: “Now that the new seasons for most shows have begun, what are you currently watching/DVRing?” — Good_Ol_Boy Answer: Here’s my DVR list, some of which are in repeats, aren’t running right this moment, or that I hardly watch. Angel Aqua Teen Hunger Force Comedy Central Presents (Stand-up comedians) CSI Florence Baptist Temple Fringe Frisky […]

Question: “John, given how treating terrorism like a criminal offense hurt us greatly in the 90’s and ultimately gave us 9/11, why do you think liberals want to go back to adopting that strategy?” — decypher “As a follow up to that…. How is treating terrorism (as long as we are talking about individuals as […]

Question: “Why is the Left afraid of Sarah Palin?” — Dick_Nixon Answer: There are multiple reasons why the left hates Sarah Palin. They despise her for being a “regular Sally” made good — that’s something their politicians pretend to be, but never really are. She didn’t go to an Ivy League School. She has an […]

Remember when you got in a fight with a friend and then some sanctimonious busy body got in the middle and tried to mediate and you both turned on him and wanted to beat him senseless? Well, in the Senate, there are a few mushy middle types who believe they know what is best for […]

An interesting turn of events: In Democratic legal circles, no attorney has been more pilloried than former Bush Justice Department official John Yoo, chief author of the so-called torture memos that Barack Obama last week sought to nullify. But now President Obama’s incoming crew of lawyers has a new and somewhat awkward job: defending Yoo […]

A symbolic difference between the Clinton and Bush 43 administrations is that W insisted on a coat and tie at all times in the Oval Office as a show of respect, whereas Bubba didn’t even feel compelled to keep his pants on. But jackets are no longer required under Chairman Zero. The New York Times […]

Britain is always a good place to look if you want to see what it will mean for our society that liberal government is becoming alarmingly more powerful. The latest outrage — children denied to their grandparents are turned over by the State to a pair of homosexuals to be raised in an atmosphere of […]

Name the minority. Just think of one. At one time or another, that minority–Irish, Italian, Black, Mexican, Cuban, etc.–has taken the back seat to the more prominent, and usually earlier, American immigrant majority. And yet one group, no matter the color, who always follows: Women. Sarah Palin’s mistreatment this last election at the hands of […]

Should the New York Times go non-profit? That’s a thought. Will it matter if they do? I’m not sure. From Gizmodo (who has a great video): The piece is about the earliest days of digital media, when the lucky few home computer users could view content from a handful of prominent papers on their “television […]

The Natalie Dylan case has been fascinating from the beginning — and by the way, if the name Natalie Dylan isn’t ringing any bells, she’s the girl who may sell her virginity for as much as $3.8 million dollars. First off, I’m still not entirely sure why she’s getting offers of that size. Granted, she’s […]

“All U.S. taxpayers would enjoy the same immunity from IRS penalties and interest as House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Obama Administration Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, if a bill introduced today by Congressman John Carter (R-TX) becomes law. Carter, a former longtime Texas judge, today introduced the Rangel Rule Act of 2009, […]
