I’m writing a column on the top ten political screw-ups of 2008. How about giving me some suggestions in the comments section so I can make sure I don’t miss any of the big ones?

Matt Yglesias, a snobby, know-it-all, chomskyite punk who graduated from Harvard the same year the war in Iraq began, has deigned to enlighten the rest of us about how horrible the people who supported the war in Iraq really are, The harsh reality is that (the Iraq war) was not a noble undertaking done for […]

“I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,” Bush told CNN television, saying he had made the decision “to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse.” — George Bush Oh, he’s trying to “save the free-market system,” is he? That’s funny, because to the untrained eye, Bush looks like a rudderless big government Republican who’s […]

Via Emily Zanotti at The American Princess comes my favorite post-election 2008 Barack Obama shirt so far, The t-shirt can be found here.

My buddy Cassy Fiano wrote a post that accepts as its premise that men find short hair on women unattractive. As I told Cass, personally, that’s not the case for me. I’ve always been a fan of short, stylishly done, short haircuts on women. Obviously, opinions on this subject are going to vary, but I […]

If you don’t use Twitter, here’s the sort of thing you’re missing — or alternately, not missing if this doesn’t catch your fancy =D Some recent posts from My personal Twitter profile, Watched “The Happening.” 10 min. of cool, gory suicides. 81 min. of unsympathetic characters runnin from grass, trees and the wind. Really. Once […]

Over at the The Guardian, they’ve got a story on — believe it or not, a Burger King body spray, Still can’t think what to get him for Christmas? Socks don’t seem to cut it any more? Fret no longer because Burger King is here to help. The mass purveyor of grilled meat is offering, […]

You can tell its a relatively slow news week. Crooks and Liars is reduced to resurrecting the “Nazis in the Army” story of a couple of years ago. Now, that’s pathetic enough (C&L has to admit that when the FBI investigated the claim, they found that there were all of 200 identifiable “neo-nazis” in the […]

How did Barack Obama claim power in Chicago? Why, the old-fashioned way, of course! He used connections, ingratiated himself with power brokers, became part of the machine and was hand-picked for the seat. And then the machine helped make it happen, including by nefarious means. If nothing else, the Chicago mess demonstrates how remarkable Sarah […]

Now I get why global warming hysteria has been going into overdrive lately, despite falling temperatures encasing the country in ice: A slackening in the growth rate of fossil fuel consumption gave comfort to environmentalists in 2008, as recession began to grip global economies. But, in most respects, this year was awful for the green […]

Having blown his presidential bid, John “Lettuce” McCain is back in his former job: toady to Democrats. True to his old pandering form, he went on This Week recently to denounce fellow Republicans for criticizing the way the Moonbat Messiah has mishandled the Governor Blago revelations. Bleats Lettuce: In all due respect to the Republican […]

We tend to think that those who run online systems like Facebook, Twitter, Friendfeed and the grand poo-bah Google make them passive robot-like vehicles for democratic action. That’s not exactly true. At the very least someone wrote the code in a certain way to achieve a certain outcome. It doesn’t have to be a nefarious […]

Political correctness at a Chinese zoo: A pair of gay penguins thrown out of their zoo colony for repeatedly stealing eggs have been given some of their own to look after following a protest by animal rights groups. Last month the birds were segregated after they were caught placing stones at the feet of parents […]

After the grandstanding Iraqi reporter tossed his shoes at George Bush, the media’s focus wasn’t on how Bush had made it possible for this moron to throw his footwear at a world leader without being fed, head first, into a paper shredder five minutes later while his family watched, it was on what a great […]

Although I absolutely cannot stand John McCain, so much so that I put a higher priority on seeing him beaten in his 2010 Arizona primary than I do on defeating any Democratic senator, I think he has gotten a bad rap for these comments, Sen. John McCain said Sunday he would not necessarily support his […]

The final “Barneycam” video is out and unfortunately, I have to say it’s not one of the better ones. Sure, they have lots of cameos from Olympic athletes, but where’s the Barney in the Barneycam video? Personally, I wanted to see more of Barney running around the White House and playing with toys. So, with […]

Yesterday, I put up a couple of polls on the Big 3 bailout. Here are the results. Do you support using TARP funds to give the Big 3 a 15 billion dollar bridge loan? (567 votes) Yes: 5% No: 95% Would you support giving the Big 3 a 100 billion dollar plus loan next year? […]

The LA Times has done a story on Anthony Pellicano being sentenced to 15 years in prison. Unsurprisingly, they failed to mention his most famous clients, Bill and Hillary Clinton. Former Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano was sentenced to 15 years in prison Monday for running an illegal wiretapping operation that gathered information for a […]

State government may have to make temporary spending cuts, but when it gets itself into deficit trouble from overspending, it turns to the one source of revenue it has – state taxpayers (unlike the Fed, states can’t just print money). And it also comes up with some innovative ways to both raise money and push […]

When they helped the poor, abused, underpaid, overworked masses, unions made sense. Child laborers, sweat shops, and indentured servitude were just plain wrong. We are soooo far from those days it’s not even funny. Mexico, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, all have to worry about worker exploitation. Other countries like Zimbabwe should just make […]

Dr. Helen answers a question from a librarian/teacher about goose-stepping 4th graders and how to help kids get properly educated about such things as capitalism versus socialism. In our kids’ school, the Third Grade project is starting a business, paying more rent for better space (the front classrooms), choosing partners, making a product or service […]

Over at the Wall Street Journal, Jonathan Soros, George Soros’ son, made the following argument — such as it is — for supporting the popular vote over the electoral college, In his election-night victory speech, Barack Obama said he would be a president for all Americans, not just those who voted for him. But as […]

When I headed over to one of my favorite conservative websites, Lucianne, I received a warning in my browser, Since I know Lucianne isn’t some sort of warez/hacker site, I clicked through anyway and here’s what they had to say, Please, please, please, stop, stop, stop! We know some of you are getting a Google […]

“How hitler’s holocaust is like america’s civil right movement?” This oddball Dogpile search produced an errant hit on RWN for this article.

Because their allies in Michigan state government and Congress have given them every legal advantage, members of the UAW have been able to get paid far more than their skills were worth on the free market for decades. In one sense, it’s hard to fault them for that. After all, most people try to get […]

That’s the tag the Weekly Standard‘s John McCormack hangs on colleague Matt Continetti, who writes for NPR: Obama is popular, and his agenda is, too. A recent poll found that 60 percent of respondents support Obama’s plans for massive infrastructure spending. Voters may be split on whether or not to bail out the Big Three […]

Over half a million people in the Northeast were still without power yesterday, having been hit by global warming in the form of a vicious ice storm. Elsewhere, 13 inches of snow fell in North Dakota. We’re not even halfway into December. Do you think the conspicuously cooling climate will cause the moonbat establishment to […]

The disease infesting Hollyweird has progressed beyond mere hatred of America. Under the banner of environmentalism, Tinseltown has been marketing an increasingly open hatred of the entire human race — as exemplified by a tedious remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, in which Keanu Reeves comes from outer space to tell us that […]
