Bush Wasn’t Polarizing, His Election Was
That Is, To Those on Left who Can’t Accept the idea of a Republican president

One of the things I find most annoying about the coverage of President Obama’s inauguration was how certain Democrats compared the good will shown and national unity expressed to the previous two inaugurals, both of George W. Bush. It’s as if that Republican created the contention of those two ceremonies, But, the then-president wasn’t the […]

Obama can’t kill the radio star (but he’s gonna try)

“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done…” declares Teleprompter Jesus. Depends on what your definition of “things” is… The $400-Million Man’s day is made. You just know he and Snerdly are working on new merch with that slogan. His callers will now say, “Dittos, Rush! I was just listening to you […]

Kent Conrad Reads and Learns

Me, droning on about Atlas Shrugged coming true: The phrase “In Times Like These” is repeated over and over and over again. Invariably, it’s placed in front of a proposal that, in another setting, would make no sense at all. And still doesn’t. It’s only discussed in vague, highly generalized terms…right after that magical phrase, […]

Sore Winners: When Blowouts Are Morally Wrong

Imagine a High School basketball team playing another team and winning 100-0. Imagine the beaten team was from a school that helps special needs kids. Imagine the coach of the winners doesn’t put the bench into the game until the 4th quarter. From MSNBC: A Dallas school whose girl’s basketball team beat another team 100-0 […]

Larry King Proclaims His Kid Wants to Be Black

Delirious with joy over the ascension of our first Affirmative Action president, CNN’s Larry King has once again wandered into the realm of self-parody: CNN’s orange-haired septuagenarian chatterbox Larry King has been bowled over by the new Age of Obama, enthusing that his youngest offspring (from his seventh marriage) wants to be black. I guess […]

Harry Reid: Tax System Is Voluntary

Excellent news — according to Harry Reid, our tax system is voluntary: Now the bad news — it’s only voluntary if you are a powerful Democrat like Charles Rangel, the tax cheat who oversees the committee that writes tax laws, or Tim Geithner, the even bigger tax cheat who will soon be in charge of […]

A Follow-Up Post: Mitch McConnell’s Double Fail

A couple of weeks ago, I smacked around Mitch McConnell for the mediocrity of his YouTube Channel. One of the reasons I was told the channel is so awful is that they hadn’t had time to promote it. Well, they’ve had time now and aside from a tragically dull welcome video which has 1,233 views […]

Is It Kirsten Gillibrand?

Apparently (according to WPIX) Gov. David Patterson has made his choice to fill Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat. Her name is Kirsten Gillibrand and she’s a Congresswoman from upstate NY. Sources say Gillibrand, a blue-dog Democrat and a good fundraiser, would be an asset to Paterson in any bid for election in 2010. However, since her […]

Quote Of The Day: Hope Someone Informed Al-Qaeda The War’s Over Now

“President Obama yesterday eliminated the most controversial tools employed by his predecessor against terrorism suspects. With the stroke of his pen, he effectively declared an end to the “war on terror,” as President George W. Bush had defined it, signaling to the world that the reach of the U.S. government in battling its enemies will […]

Hey, Hey, How Many Babies Did Obama Murder Today?

Obama once famously said that “abortion was above his pay grade,” but he’s already planning to try to ramp up the number of abortions, President Barack Obama will issue an order restoring U.S. funding for international family-planning groups involved with abortion. But he chose not to do so on Thursday, the anniversary of Roe v. […]

Excerpt Of The Day: The Stimulus Disaster

“This week’s Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report is the latest addition to a voluminous body of evidence that government spending is a poor way to jump-start the economy. That’s bad news for the $825 billion economic stimulus package that President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists is desperately […]

Ex-President Rivalry?

I can’t really explain why I keep watching this over and over, but I’m just fascinated by the unabashed pettiness and rudeness of former President Jimmy Carter (who, by the way, makes Bill Clinton look almost Reagan-esque) to fellow former president Bill and wife Hillary. Once again, it’s just another example of a bitter liberal […]

Hillary Clinton The Nemesis

President Barack Obama will have a steep learning curve in office. The protocol, the ritual, the press, the lack of privacy, and it’s all new, new, new. I suspect that every president has to get on top of all sorts of rules and regulations for behavior. And I suspect it’s daunting. Imagine learning all that […]

Republicans: Are You A Loser Because You’re Respectable?

Are Republicans too nice? Is that why we’ve been big, fat losers these last two election cycles? That’s what Doc Weasel [WARNING: Not safe for work] thinks: F*ckwit Andy Levy (sounds like a joke name) at the new Brietbart Big Hollywood site counsels conservatives to eschew the strategy the left used to demonize Bush and […]

Jacques Chirac Overpowered by Poodle

Tragic news: former Frenchman in Chief Jacques Chirac has been mauled by a fellow neurotic poodle: Former French President Jacques Chirac was rushed to a hospital after being mauled by his pet dog who is being treated for depression, in a dramatic incident that rattled the ex-president’s wife. The couple’s white Maltese poodle, called Sumo, […]

Moonbat Messiah to Nix Drilling

To no one’s surprise, this didn’t take long: U.S. President Barack Obama may order a hold on a proposal issued in the final days of the Bush administration to expand offshore drilling in previously banned areas, an Interior Department official told Reuters on Wednesday. … Separately, the Interior official said the department’s plan to develop […]

Europe – “That’s Why We Have Americans!”

Well Europe finally has the US president they want and how do they say “boy are we glad you’re the man?” France’s defence minister on Wednesday appeared to rule out any immediate reinforcement of French troops in Afghanistan if requested by Barack Obama, the new US president. HervĂ© Morin said deploying additional French forces to […]

HuffPo Post Of The Day: Impeach John Roberts!

“There is simply no excuse for United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts bungling the presidential oath of office to such an extent that Barack Obama might need to do it again, at least in private, to ensure the legality of his inauguration. Roberts should be impeached and removed from office for this unforgivable […]

The President Riding The Paper Tiger

One of the reasons so many foreigners wanted Barack Obama to become President is that they think he’s a small, weak pansy who cares more about making bureaucrats in Europe like him than he does about looking out for his own country. Incidentally, they have Obama’s number. Joe Biden certainly understands that’s true. It’s why […]

Government Can’t Save You: Just Live Your Life

The government can’t save you. But you can save you. Is life really that bad out there? I still don’t believe America is anywhere near the misery of the 1920s and 1930s. I actually think Americans are still relatively wealthy. Even with cutting back, people have accumulated so much stuff, unnecessary stuff, that a couple […]

How I Hope President Obama Succeeds

A swing voting, independent friend asked me what I hope President Barack Obama accomplishes. Before launching, I would note that, unlike the the hard-core Left four years ago, I do view President Obama as my President. And I do hope he succeeds. It all depends on how you define success that is the key. More […]
