The words “too big to fail” are often bandied about these days as an excuse to use billions more of our tax dollars to bail out yet another company. It seems to me that if a company is “too big to fail,” then perhaps it should be treated as a monopoly and broken up into […]

Edmund Burke once said, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” The corollary to that statement here in the United States could be, “All that was necessary for the Democrats to triumph was for conservatives to do nothing.” It’s fashionable to blame George W. Bush, the Republicans […]

Fifty dollar a barrel oil certainly isn’t helping the situation: The fall in oil prices from $147 this July to below $50 today has blown a gaping hole in the government’s budget calculations. It is now facing a $150bn shortfall in its spending plans – and will have to slash expenditure in 2009. Today Putin […]

Top Obama donation bundler Jodie Evans has been in Iran with her Code Pinko cohorts, denouncing America to the terrorist regime and having a high old time. Here she is with Medea Benjamin and fellow treasonous kook Ann Wright: Not everyone was pleased to hear the Code Pinkos chirp about their exploits on their blog. […]

New York City offers a preview of the sort of public monuments we can expect to pay for now that the Executive and Legislative branches have fallen to left-wing extremists. In Central Park, at 5th Avenue and 60th Street, stands a statue of Che Guevara, the communist executioner who planned terrorist attacks against the citizens […]

The U.S. government is prepared to lend more than $7.4 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers, or half the value of everything produced in the nation last year, to rescue the financial system since the credit markets seized up 15 months ago. …The worst financial crisis in two generations has erased $23 trillion, or 38 […]

Noted anti-Semitic lunatic, Louis Farrakhan had some kind words for Barack Obama and his former spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan on Sunday called President-elect Barack Obama “America’s blessing,” and said he believes Obama’s election came about by intervention from God. …”Barack Obama has lifted all of us. We can never […]

During tough economic times, when Americans are struggling, it makes even less sense than normal to cater to illegal immigrants who take jobs from American workers, drive down wages, and soak up government services via the children whom they have on American soil. That being said, the way the Bush Administration has handled immigrant widows […]

My latest Pajama’s Media article is up over there and I hope you’ll read it. It’s nothing you’ve read here or elsewhere…yet. Fresh new content. The environmental movement is outrageous for a simple reason: it is discriminatory. That’s right. In order to be fully immersed in it, you have to have the money to do […]

I have an idea for the bailouts: forget the big companies, bailout the taxpayer, specifically, bailout the student loan holder. Hear me out. This is a good idea. People with student loans went to college. Most likely, they’re working–working their butts off to pay for student loans. These are people who buy homes, invest in […]

Unsurprisingly, since Obama has been elected, the Klan and other hate groups have been more active, Barely three weeks since America elected its first black president, noose hangings, racist graffiti and death threats have struck dozens of towns across the country. More than 200 such incidents — including cross burnings, assassination betting pools and effigies […]

As you’re reading this story, you’re going to be tempted to laugh, but you might want to hold your chuckles for a few minutes, A college student in southern China was bitten by a panda after he broke into the bear’s enclosure hoping to get a hug, state media and a park employee said Saturday. […]

Instapundit: THOUGHTS ON gay rights and the G.O.P.’s future: “It’s not that we’re likely to crack more than 35% of the gay vote (well, maybe 40%). But, to win back the suburbs, Republicans can’t alienate suburbanites. And anti-gay attitudes don’t resonate with families who have known gay people in college -and maybe even in the […]

Tonight at 9:30 PM EST, I am doing “A Field Guide to American Politics.” You can listen to it here. Here’s a description of what the show will cover. John Hawkins of Right Wing News and Eric Odom of #dontgo join me for an hour discussion on the state of the rightosphere; where we are, […]

New satellite data: A new satellite predicts at least 23 years of global cooling Several Canadian environmental scientists agree that the new Jason satellite indicates at least a 23-year cycle of global cooling ahead. This oceanographic satellite shows a much larger than normal persistent Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Cooler PDO phases usually last 21 to […]

It is one thing to be a “moderate” in New Jersey and have debates about the issues and why one side believes one thing and why the other side sees things differently. But to have a sitting Assemblyman like Jon Bramnick make comments about those he doesn’t share the same position on the issues with […]

Pace Emmett Tyrell, now is the conservative crackup. Melissa Clouthier is right: You really have to take a few minutes to watch this, the whole thing, to get a sense of where we aren’t going, and how we aren’t getting there. I don’t know what to make of it. First of all it’s hardly clear […]

I wrote briefly on Friday about the decision of an elementary school’s students to rename their school “Barack Obama Elementary.” Little did I know that the renaming of this school was only the tip of the iceberg: (CBS/AP) A school on Long Island has been renamed Barack Obama Elementary School in honor of his historic […]

Gail Collins tries to out-mo Mo Dowd: Time For Him To Go Thanksgiving is next week, and President Bush could make it a really special holiday by resigning. I could probably stop there and let the Derangement wash over us. Seriously. We have an economy that’s crashing and a vacuum at the top. Bush — who is currently […]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it highly amusing that in order for Hillary Clinton, a sitting US Senator, who came close to being the Democrat nominee, to be nominated for Secretary of State, her husband, a recently former United States President, has to be vetted? Kinda says something about the kind […]

Ah, yes. Sarah Palin’s latest “misstep.” The media are on her like poultry farmers on a hapless little chickie: “If this had been Biden . . .” I heard about it first; when I saw it, it seemed pretty mild. I’m of the mind that anyone who isn’t a vegetarian shouldn’t be complaining. Where do […]

Obama finally came out from hiding to talk a bit about the economy. One of my liberal friends found this the most exciting aspect of his speech: “We’ll be working out the details in the weeks ahead, but it will be a two-year, nationwide effort to jumpstart job creation in America and lay the foundation […]

Commenter Rob has nominated us for our very own Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL) award, or at least suggested we should be so nominated, which highlights the disadvantages involved when accolades have been systematically handed out without rules attached. Can you give yourself a BSIHORL award? The dilemma has, we confess, taken […]

There has been tee-heeing about “gun nuts” stocking up on guns and ammunition as though it was absurd to believe that Barack Obama, who voted for anti-gun legislation as a state senator would never try to get the same sort of legislation passed as President. Little things like this heighten people’s anxiety: Do You Now […]

On the (anti-) free speech front this week… The Weekly Standard features an excellent piece on “interfaith dialogue” — which is a euphemism for “Muslims talk and we listen, and obey.” Writer Nina Shea reveals how the Saudi-based Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is pushing to criminalize criticism of Islam. I just finished reading […]

In this week’s US News and World Report, Grover Norquist babbles on under the title “Conservatives Will Rise Again” about how this has all been seen before (after Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush). After each defeat, conservatism was declared dead. Norquist believes it is only a matter of time before Americans again […]

Question: “Do you see anything positive that can be accomplished in the next four years legislatively (as opposed to, say, Republican re-branding, etc.)? If so, what?” — jleit83 Answer: Because so many politicians in D.C. love triangulation, some of the biggest accomplishments of the last two Presidents have been in areas most desired by the […]
