When Bill Richardson pulled out, MK Ham quipped, “The Obama transition train just keeps on chugging down the tracks to Smoothville, huh?” And the Smoothville Express just keeps on a-chugging: Eric H. Holder Jr. is facing increasing resistance to his bid to become the next attorney general, emerging from President-elect Barack Obama’s Cabinet nominees as […]

Considering our numbers, Canada has suffered big losses in Afghanistan, fighting an unpopular war (public support in Canada runs about 50/50).

Jimmy Carter starts his article in the Washington Post this way: I know from personal involvement that the devastating invasion of Gaza by Israel could easily have been avoided. After visiting Sderot last April and seeing the serious psychological damage caused by the rockets that had fallen in that area, my wife, Rosalynn, and I […]

MSNBC hack: 65% of Americans believe Palin to be unqualified Hmmmm…..could that be because the media, over and over, portrayed her as unqualified? This becomes a chicken-egg thing. The media quotes an image of a person they created as evidence the person is the image. Palin’s home state had an over 80% approval rating of […]

Newsflash, people, Jesus was a Jew, The Guardian’s Howard Jacobson informs us. His real message seems to explain why Jews still fear Christians (and I might add, ignore all the evidence to the contrary and vote for people who actually aren’t pro-Israel and pro-Jew). He says: It is a question of the deepest interest, how […]

Here‘s where your money may go next, after the State has moved on from bailing out bankers, brokers, and Detroit: Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis and “Hustler” magazine publisher Larry Flynt have said they will petition Congress for financial aid along the lines of what the Big Three auto makers are getting.

PETA’s quest to make the world safe for seafood has inspired a new extreme of guffaw-inducing self-parody: Radical international animal rights group PETA has launched its most bizarre campaign yet, demanding fish be renamed “sea kittens”.

Somebody at Ann Coulter’s publicist told me that I’m actually referenced in her new book, Guilty, and they’re supposed to be sending me a copy. In the meantime, Lisa De Pasquale has a review at Human Events: In the chapter, “Victim of a Crime? Thank a Single Mother,” Coulter writes, “The most worshipped figure in […]

It’s been days now, but I keep hoping that if I wait long enough, someone will wake me up and tell me that this was just a joke. I mean, Al Franken couldn’t have won Norm Coleman’s Senate seat in real life – at least not in any rational, just world. And not in America, […]

In 2007, it seemed that every toy that came out of China was covered in lead based paint.  There were other concerns, like the pet food they exported made with deadly chemicals.  That was devastating to some pet owners. In response to this, Congress swiftly leapt into action and passed the “Consumer Product Safety Improvement […]

Apparently, Barack Obama is appearing in the comic book of my favorite childhood super-hero, Spider-Man. I don’t know every detail of the issue, but my guess is that it goes something like this, PS: I look forward to next month’s edition of the X-Men where Obama convinces Wolverine to turn to non-violence and starts unconditional […]

I’m sure a lot of people will claim that bloggers will miss these papers when they’re gone, but every time a liberal paper or journalist loses his job, it puts a little smile on my face, The future of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer appeared uncertain tonight after a local television station reported the newspaper is setting […]

Unsurprisingly, Bambi’s administration is going to have talks with Hamas, The incoming Obama administration is prepared to abandon George Bush’s :­doctrine of isolating Hamas by establishing a channel to the Islamist organisation, sources close to the transition team say.

More constructive criticism aimed at idiots who are too dumb to ever take it: (See part 1 here) America’s colleges: Why is it that it seems like every former terrorist, communist, and kook with an IQ over 100 seems to be able to get a job teaching our kids in a university? Meanwhile, Jay Leno’s […]

Way back during Hurricane Ike, I spent a day sifting through the history of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and came to the conclusion that Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and a few others deserved the lion share of the blame. Schumer particularly rotted my socks because he had the unmitigated gall to write […]

All sorts of opinion is out there concerning PEBO’s desired stimulus package. I pick Jonathan Cohn’s over at the Plank because it pretty much covers what I want to cover. For instance: The general consensus among left-of-center economists these days is that government spending, rather than tax cuts, represent the most efficient way to fight […]

Possibly the most shameful moment in Spanish history came when Spain reacted to the Muslim terror attacks of March 11, 2004 by rejecting Jose Maria Aznar in favor of the groveling dhimmi Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. But Aznar is still around, proving there’s hope for Spain yet. Here he is on the farcical Obamessiah phenomenon: […]

How to satisfy those maternal urges after you’ve aborted your inconvenient, Gaia-afflicting children? Simple: buy a doll. Many people like to stop and play with newborn babies, but now some adult women are playing house with fake babies. Some women are even going as far as taking day trips with the fake babies to the […]

I can hardly bear to read and hear the news. Israel had been fired upon by Hamas, again, and this time, Israel decided, again, to do something about it (pictures here). As usual, everyone in the world, except, it seems, American conservatives, believe Israel shouldn’t defend her children. They blame Israel for having the temerity […]

There has been a lot of back and forth about America’s dependence on Middle-Eastern oil, but Europe’s dependence on Russian oil is bringing the whole European Union to its knees, The heads of the Russian and Ukrainian gas companies held a surprise meeting today after the EU gave Russia 24 hours to restore gas supplies.

Did the United States spin off into some alternate universe of infinite money, record surpluses, and incalculable opulence when I wasn’t looking or are we actually spending more than a billion of our tax dollars to help people upgrade their televisions? The Federal Government has run out of money to help analog TV owners go […]

Yesterday, I posted The 40 Most Obnoxious Quotes For 2008. However, there were some fairly obnoxious quotations that didn’t quite make the grade and it seems a shame to just let the runners-up go down the memory hole.

Some of my favorite Twitter posts from the last few days… @anamariecox Okay this is a lesson I was slow in learning: If you hate dealing with FB friend requests, do not mention FB account on primetime cable. @DrewCurtis just saw a guy trying to haggle at Kroger. Worked out about as well as you’d […]
