So nerds suffer in the short term: Researchers in Australia surveyed 185 men and women, ages 16 to 25, at the University of Sydney on their sexual history and STD knowledge. Responses to questionnaires revealed that “art students were younger [and] more likely to be sexually active” than science students (who, presumably were too busy […]

This was originally posted at 10:34 PM EST, Dec 11, 2008. It’s from an instant messenger conversation with one of my sources in the Senate. Anon Senate Aide: Auto bailout dead. John Hawkins: Dead dead? What happened? =D Anon Senate Aide: Negotiations ended, no deal. John Hawkins: Until next year or for a day or […]

Just hate them because they’re conservative. This is apparently the mantra of the desperate left wing, who preach tolerance, political correctness, hugs, and high-five’s to all – unless, of course, they don’t subscribe to the secular leftist agenda. If that’s the case, then the rules are turned upside-down: the most vicious, vile, crude, and classless […]

I‘m already tired of the Blagojevich scandal (an Illinois governor is corrupt? Well knock me over with a feather), but I remain concerned with this auto bailout and can only hope, with the White House caving in, that the Republicans in the Senate will make one final stand before their minority power is blown away […]

From the Washington Times: Environmental extremists and global warming alarmists are in denial and running for cover. Their rationale for continuing a lost cause is that weather events in the short term are not necessarily related to long-term climatic trends. But these are the same people who screamed at us each year that ordinary weather […]

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” — Author unknown “Every time you take a rich man down, you take a 100 poor men with him.” “I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in […]

The farce Washington governor Christine Gregoire initiated by allowing militant atheists to put up a sign denouncing Christianity next to the Christmas display in the state capitol has reached a new extreme of tastelessness. Active Democrat and enthusiastic Al Gore supporter Fred Phelps would like to put in his 2¢ too. Via Knowledge Is Power, […]

Here‘s what Obama had to say this Tuesday, the last time anything could be extracted from him regarding his dealings with fellow Illinois machine politician Rod Blagojevich, who was caught trying to sell BHO’s Senate seat to the highest bidder: I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, […]

Dr. Helen, in a post explaining why intellectuals tend to sympathize with criminals, quotes Theodore Dalrymple, Intellectuals need to say things that are not immediately obvious or do not occur to the man in the street. The man in the street instinctively sympathizes with the victim of crime; therefore, to distinguish himself from the man […]

What a fiasco. So Jessie Jr is behind door #5 according to the New York Times: Mr. Jackson was described in an affidavit filed in Mr. Blagojevich’s arrest as one of at least six people being considered by the governor to fill President-elect Barack Obama’s unfinished term in the United States Senate in exchange for […]

Anti-Semitic incompetent Jimmy Carter made news by declaring that he would meet with Hezbollah. Now, Hezbollah has made news by declaring that they won’t meet with Jimmy Carter, Lebanon’s militant group Hezbollah has refused to meet visiting former US president Jimmy Carter to discuss legislative elections set for the spring, Carter’s spokesman said on Wednesday. […]

The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same Last week I wrote a column called “Before We Carve Barack Obama’s Face on Mt. Rushmore.” It was about the rapturous honeymoon period that Barack Obama is experiencing at the moment. Well, judging by the latest numbers from this Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, Americans […]

There’s a very poorly thought out argument that we seem to be hearing more and more of lately. It goes something like this, “We already do (horrific idea X). Therefore, that’s justification for doing (horrific idea Y).” Some examples of this sort of thinking include, “We’ve already bailed out the banks. Therefore, we should definitely […]

Just finished up a brief interview with Andrew Breitbart for The American Spectator: “I think that now is the right time to strike,” Andrew Breitbart says, talking on his hands-free cell phone as he drives through Hollywood. He’s en route to dinner with a screenwriter whose work has been filmed with big names like Michael […]

While the President-elect trots out his New New Deal, which smacks more of Soviet style planning than free market recovery, Communist China is taking an alternate course: CHINA may soon cut business tax as part of its efforts to prop up the slowing economy amid the global financial crisis, state media reported on Tuesday. The […]

At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

About a year ago, maybe two now, time flies, we got in a fender bender and the man who drove the tow-truck was from the Middle East somewhere. I took a leap and said to him, “Asalam Alakum” or roughly “peace be unto you” (a fairly universal greeting) in Arabic. He was delighted. Asked how […]

Bush is technically still in office, yet already the truth is coming out regarding his brutal regime’s abuse of misunderstood Islamic terrorists: U.S. military interrogators have often blasted music at detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. According to the British law group Reprieve, these are among the songs they have used most frequently: • […]

From the incomparable Michelle Malkin, At noon Eastern today, five true maverick Republicans will announce their support of a UAW bailout filibuster in Washington. Senate sources tell me GOP Sens. Shelby, Ensign, and DeMint (as I noted yesterday) will be joined at the press conference by Sens. Vitter and Coburn. Our own Gang of Five! […]

Moonbattery has suffered a surprising setback in New Orleans, which moonbats adopted as their spiritual capital in the wake of Katrina: A political unknown and a newly minted Republican, [Anh “Joseph”] Cao, 41, became the first Vietnamese American ever elected to Congress on Saturday, with an upset victory over indicted Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. William […]

Last night, I was talking with a buddy of mine who’s a Senate aide and I gave him a suggestion that I think would do the GOP a lot of good. Over the course of the next year or so, they should have every senator cut a handful of short, casual videos about conservative principles. […]

According to one of the finest news organizations in America, the Weekly World News — which incidentally, is about to affiliate with Conservative Grapevine (yes, really), an anonymous group of hackers, …has once again hacked into Sarah Palin’s e-mail account and provided Weekly World News with the first look at her upcoming Christmas card! Here’s […]

When you’re a doctor, you see lots of patients. You also talk to other doctors who see lots of patients. And a very interesting thing is happening among both sets of people that I thought I’d share with you. I’m curious about your opinion. Many people are setting aside six months cash, on hand, out […]

So, I take Patton and the Affenpinscher (Sam) I am dogsitting outside this morning and as they are tooling around the back yard, a cat wanders over. Patton, who loves nothing better than chasing cats or circling them and nipping at their tails as they try to tear his face off, wasn’t that close to […]

“I think it is true that the majority of Muslims are ‘moderate’ in the sense of not supporting violence against their neighbors and taking no steps to support terrorism aboard and generally disapproving of it. But you are right that this raises a paradox, because just as you suggest, if in fact the majority is […]

Day One here and here, in case you’re joining this melodrama in progress. OK, so Illinois Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich is under indictment for trying to sell the Senate seat being vacated by the president elect, and the question now is: What did Obama know, and when did he know it? Allahpundit has a good […]
