Here’s what I am thinking is really going on…. Rod Blagojevich was peddling Obama’s Senate seat and trying to get paid. He discussed it with Rahm Emanuel, who then went back and talked it over with Obama. That makes perfect sense, right? Obama was obviously interested in who was going to fill his seat and […]

Earlier this week, I had someone message me on Twitter and tell me they bought every book I gave an “A” rating to in the “The Last 125 Books I’ve Read” post. That was very flattering, but my guess is that most people can’t afford to buy that many books. So, I thought I’d recommend […]

It’s interesting how feminism works. Anything that offends them is grounds for SEXISM!!!, even if no one before has ever seen it that way. Who cares? A feminist says it’s SEXIST!!!, so therefore, it must be so. The newest example of SEXISM!!! we must all be on the lookout for? Holding enlightened, feminist women to […]

Only in the liberal MSM, and particularly the New York Times, can they have debates on what to call terrorists and whether they are actually terrorists WHEN 10 young men in an inflatable lifeboat came ashore in Mumbai last month and went on a rampage with machine guns and grenades, taking hostages, setting fires and […]

Pajamas Media columnist M.P. MacConnell writes, regarding the “How the Netroots Brought Down Obama’s Spymaster.” (Via Glenn.) Get this: Regardless of political affiliation, the “Netroots” (a term used to describe those whose political activism is primarily manifested online) are a mob, and as is normally the case in mob attacks, there are ringleaders. In this […]

It would be best if New Jersey, where I live, had taxation, social and economic policies that encouraged economic growth instead of discouraging it, but it doesn’t. And it is ironic that those most vulnerable to bad economic policy routinely vote into office the people most responsible for the policies that contribute to their misery […]

Welcome back Johnny Mac!! Oh, how I missed the “Maverick”, not the one we saw running for President, that was a phony. I’m talking about the one who is adored by the MSM, and loved by Democrats, the one that rips Republicans and defends the opposition: John McCain sideswiped the Republican National Committee on Sunday […]

You’ve already seen this story many times…as We, Anthem, 1984, Brave New World, THX-1138, Soylent Green, Logan’s Run, that weird Apple Macintosh commercial, etc. etc. etc…. …Chris Muir scribbled down his vision of it two weekends ago. It’s a vision worth repeating over and over, because it’s where we’re headed. All liberals agree we should […]

The Reuters reports on the last visit the President has made to Iraq before his second term ends (via Memeorandum): BAGHDAD (Reuters) – President George W. Bush made an unannounced farewell visit to Baghdad on Sunday, just weeks before he leaves office and bequeaths the unpopular Iraq war to President-elect Barack Obama. Bush flew secretly […]

A suspicious fire that severely damaged the Church in Alaska that Sarah Palin and her family attend is being labeled as arson and is being investigated as such. There is speculation that the fire was some kind of vengeful act against Governor Palin, who apologized to pastors in case the cause “in any way connected […]

Couldn’t resist snagging that headline from FARK The Indian navy captured 23 pirates who threatened a merchant vessel Saturday in the lawless waters of the Gulf of Aden, where dozens of ships have come under attack by gunmen in recent months. The pirates were from Somalia and Yemen, two countries on the coast of the […]

Will this be the new meme to push governments to deal with AGW? Climate Change ‘hits poor hardest’ Sir David Attenborough and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have called on world leaders to do more to protect the poor from the devastating effects of climate change. The two were among 19 signatories of a letter to The Times […]

L’Audace! Le Outrage! The Editorial Staff have never been a huge fan of Patrick Fitzgerald. During the L’Affair Plame years the intrepid special prosecutor kept us all glued to our seats with inflammatory rhetoric about the need to investigate a non-crime whose perpetrator was known from the outset. Such conduct rightly outraged conservatives; however, media […]

(The great Robert Spencer took time out from his incredibly busy life to talk to me via email about his new book Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs) Is Islam itself the problem? Obviously “the problem” is rooted within Islamic texts and teachings that mandate warfare against and the […]

“In a just, capitalistic world, Barney Frank would be living on the streets covered in his own excrement, but instead he gets to screw up business after business with no accountability because apparently he lives in a district where the citizens are constantly being outsmarted by squirrels.” — Frank J.

How obnoxious is it that the unions are coming to Congress, hat in hand, saying that the “Big 3” can’t even survive another month without billions of dollars in taxpayer funds — even as they balk at the idea of lowering their wages and benefits enough in 2009 so that the car companies have a […]

As predicted, George Bush is letting it be known that he is planning to use TARP funds to prop up the “Big 3” despite the fact that it’s clearly illegal. Also, given that there are 350 billion dollars worth of TARP funds remaining, Bush is setting a precedent that will be used to turn the […]

“The fact is, we seem to be in a kind of moment of madness in Washington, where day by day, step by step, massive expenditures and undertakings are contemplated that would radically alter the relationship between the people and their government and that would have been simply unimaginable, with good reason, just a few months […]

Well the Republicans in the Senate (with the usual exceptions) and a couple of Democrats kept the US government out of the car business last night. Reading the blogosphere, on both sides, has been fascinating. From Ed Morrisey’s “good” to Jane Hamsher’s “the Republicans quite plainly want the economy to fail” and everything in between. […]

The campaign to purge Christianity from Christmas presses forward: A school choir was forced to withdraw from a Christmas event because organisers branded its carols ‘too religious’. Around 60 children aged between seven and 11 had spent six weeks practising favourites including Once In Royal David’s City and Silent Night for the Corringham Winter Festival. […]

If BHO is still looking for staff, I know just the guy to oversee Social Security — provided he can do it from a prison cell: Bernard L. Madoff, a former chairman of the Nasdaq Stock Market and a force in Wall Street trading for nearly 50 years, was arrested by federal agents Thursday, a […]

If you just found a large sum of money and could easily walk away with it, what would you do? This immigrant bagboy found $10,000. He turned it in. Why? Here’s what he said, “I teach a Sunday school with 10-year-old kids and I always tell them to do the right thing.” 75 year-old Billie […]

One of the arguments that’s being kicked around is that the stock market will take a big hit if the “Big 3” don’t get bridge loans — so, therefore, Bush now has to use TARP money for the loans in order to prop up stock values. While I would not be surprised to see the […]

One of Barack Obama’s biggest supporters, Colin Powell, is now offering up his sage advice to Republicans, The Republican party must stop “shouting at the world” and start listening to minority groups if it is to win elections in the 21st century, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday. …”I think the party has […]

“If all we want are jobs, we can create any number — for example, have people dig holes and then fill them up again, or perform other useless tasks. Work is sometimes its own reward. Mostly, however, it is the price we pay to get the things we want. Our real objective is not just […]
