Info-Me-Cial #5: The visceral argument

Lots of people have noticed that Barack Obama’s speeches don’t really say that much. He seems to be able to “inspire” a certain kind of person just by being Obama. It’s a visceral, emotional reaction, like the very best found in supporters of leaders of… let’s just say governmental systems not called “democracies”… some of […]

Redistributing Wealth: An Experiment

My brother passed along a great letter to the editor in the Chicago Tribune, and I thought it was worth sharing here: On my way to lunch recently, I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama; I need the money.” I laughed. In a restaurant my server had on an “Obama […]

Obama’s Directive 10-289

He’s going to try fleshing it out in real life. For the uninitiated, Directive 10-289 is ratified roughly halfway through Atlas Shrugged as an emergency measure. It locks the economy in place. As they learned the hard way in the subsequent pages, economy, like an education, is motion, not a status, position or level. To […]

Quote Roundup

You enter a comment on a blog, even on The Blog That Nobody Reads — it’s in the public domain, folks. And that can be a terrible risk if you say something embarrassing…or ingenious. No stone will be left unturned in the effort to destroy marriage or anything that leads up to it. —Shannon in […]

Info-Me-Cial #4: Judge for yourself

It’s not just law professors or even lawyers thinking about this. And it’s not entirely about Obama — after all, of all places he did teach at the University of Chicago, hardly a hotbed of lefty bomb-throwing on the the law faculty. But when you look at that posse around him and all those JD’s… […]

Info-Me-Cial #2: The best defense is a best defense!

Until we started winning the Iraq war, Democrats couldn’t wait to lose it, and hard. Barack Obama was absolutely part of that. Whether you believe he was merely posturing for the nomination, or that he is that contemptuous of both America’s ability to protect its interests and its troops as well as our intelligence, his […]

The McCain Info-Me-Cials

If John can’t do it, we can do it ourselves: Prepare and broadcast slick, powerful and deal-closing infomercials to close the deal for McCain. Time to step up…. Ron Coleman stepped up in his peculiar way this week on

The Inspiration of Obama

From mainstream media commentators to General Colin Powell to rival John McCain – all give Barack Obama credit for “inspiring” people. My own fascination brought me to take my youngest brother to Obama’s rally during the heat of the Democratic Primary when Obama stopped in Dallas. We waited for several hours to watch Obama speak […]

Questions for Obama

Pete Parisi of The Washington Times notes that Barack Obama is protected by “a defensive cordon provided by a news media so unabashedly in the tank for Mr. Obama that they need scuba gear.” And since they’re not asking questions, Pete does. For example: You and your vice-presidential running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, have vowed […]

Reasons to vote for McCain; reasons to vote against Obama

My reasons for voting, not just for McCain, but also against Obama, are almost all premised upon two basic belief systems I hold: (1) As a general matter, that federal government is best which governs least; and (2) that country is safest which has a strong military and is willing to use it in its […]

The most popular election video on YouTube

I’m sure a lot of you saw this video. It’s no surprise that this video, according to Fox News, is the most popular election video on YouTube, garnering over 11 million views. Transcript: Dear Mr. Obama, Having spent twelve months in the Iraq theater, I can promise you this was not a mistake. I’ve witnessed […]

The best anti-Obama article you haven’t read yet

The new (November 3) issue of the National Review features an article called “Obama’s Core” by Michael Knox Beran. I’ve posted a key excerpt here, but try to grab it on the newsstand (it isn’t available at the NRO site unless you’re already a subscriber.) It has nothing to do with forged birth certificates and […]

Sarah Palin Unqualified

Millions of dollars have been spent to make us think so, and it’s apparently working. All told, 59 percent of voters surveyed said Ms. Palin was not prepared for the job, up nine percentage points since the beginning of the month. Nearly a third of voters polled said the vice-presidential selection would be a major […]

Poll: What’s The Best Horror Film Of All-Time?

Granted, I should have probably run this poll on Thursday so I could run the responses on Halloween, but better late than never. What’s the best horror film of all-time? Alien The Amityville Horror (New Version) The Blair Witch Project Candyman Carrie The Exorcist Final Destination The Fog (Original film) Hellraiser House of a Thousand […]

I Voted Today…

I headed over to the local polling place today, where it was a madhouse — or maybe it just seemed that way because some idiot blocked my car out in the road for about two minutes while he maneuvered his truck around to get a campaign sign on the side of his vehicle facing the […]

Which Voter Are You?

Danny Glover sent me this fine work that illustrates the difference between voter mentality: Which voter are you? The answer to this question will determine the election. Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com

The Con Continues

Talk about the “Great Set-up”, the con continues with attempts at lowering expectations. Joe Biden recently explained that the rich are now those making $150,000. Bill Richardson takes it down another notch: Do I hear $100,000? $95,000? Love these “new” politics, don’t you? [Crossposted at QandO]

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Calls for Government Control of Radio

Moonbats are licking their chops at the prospect of what a Marxist president backed up by an irresponsible Dem-dominated Congress could make possible. An editorial at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette denounces conservative domination of talk radio as “un-American” and stridently calls for the imposition of the Orwellian “Fairness Doctrine” to put an end to it by […]

The Final McCain Team Spin: A Teleconference With McCain’s Staff

I have eschewed McCain campaign teleconferences for a long while (details here), but I got invited to one today and decided to go to get the campaign’s final spin on the election. The McCain team members there were, Rick Davis, Campaign Manager, McCain-Palin 2008 Bill Mcinturff, Pollster, McCain-Palin 2008 Mike Duhaime, National Political Director, McCain-Palin […]

Erica Jong on the Verge of an Obamunist Breakdown

It’s nice to know that those of us who still believe in this country aren’t the only ones terrified of how the election will turn out. Remember the feminist soft-core porn novelist Erica Jong? She and her moonbatty friends seem be having nervous breakdowns: My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi […]

Good News for People Who Love Bad News

October is on track to be the first month in which no U.S. troops have died in combat in Baghdad. But that’s not all. According to USA Today, there’s even more to celebrate, including: As of Thursday, the Pentagon had reported 13 U.S. troops killed in combat and non-combat incidents this month in Iraq. If […]
