“Having failed in its attempts to get our legal, factual and fully-supported ad off the air, Barack Obama’s campaign now wants to put our donors in prison for exercising their right to free speech. These over-the-top bullying tactics are reminiscent of the kind of censorship one would see in a Stalinist dictatorship, with the only […]

Over at DoublePlusUndead, which is a great blog by the way, they have some fantastic pics from the Denver protests. I’d encourage you to go see them all, but in the interim, here are some of my faves,

It takes more than black skin to get into Harvard Law School. It also helps to have connections. Obama had a valuable one in his friend Khalid Al-Mansour, who prevailed upon civil rights activist Percy Sutton to write the admissions folks a letter of recommendation on Obama’s behalf. Here’s Obama’s old pal Al-Mansour holding forth […]

Let’s see; the McCain campaign is successfully cutting you to pieces with ads portraying you as an inexperienced, yet arrogant novice who’s more of a rock star than a politician. So, what do you do? If you’re Barack Obama, you have Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen open for you, have a Hollywood actress sing the […]

Just when gathered Democrats were about to convince the nation that they live in a miserable place and in miserable conditions, the Census Bureau has to report this: -Income. Median household income rose to $50,233 in 2007 after adjusting for inflation. That’s $665 more than a year earlier but still below the peak of 1999. […]

If you don’t vote for Barack Obama. As commenter Wulf warned us in MichaelW’s disemboweling of Slate author Jacob Weisberg’s similar claim, “we may as well get used to this:” A prominent union leader on Tuesday blamed racism for Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) failure to build a big lead over GOP rival Sen. John McCain. […]

Looks like it’s Kobe Bryant, 1: Cris Collinsworth, 0. The main stream media doesn’t seem to care, but at least plenty of country-loving bloggers are all over this. When I first learned of Kobe Bryant’s words of patriotism about playing for the U.S. Olympic team (who handily won the gold this weekend), I immediately ran […]

Hey folks, because I love you so much and because I’m masochistic, I’m going to liveblog Hillary’s DNC speech. Be here or be square. A pre-speech taste: Dick Morris: “Hillary isn’t trying to outdo Obama. She’s trying to outdo Biden.” Well, that shouldn’t be too much trouble. Ed Rendell says that Obama is the new […]

Writing negative things about Barack Obama, NBC News or abortion, to name just three topics brings the hate–especially against women writers. A blog that I won’t dignify with a link, posted about Amanda Carpenter, Michelle Malkin, Debbie Schlussel and me in daily succession. Not one post attacked ideas but attacked the person, the woman. This […]

“We should be led by Osama bin Laden. I mean, Obama and Biden.” — Charlie Wilson of Charlie Wilson’s War fame (Thanks to Matt Lewis for posting the link.) Cross-posted at KatieFavazza.com.

The Obama machine is going to great lengths to prevent people from seeing this ad: From AP: Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations [from airing] the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign […]

“I openly – no, flamingly – endorse Obama, whether he says he’s for gay marriage or not. . . . I know under Obama, it will only be a matter of time until the country sees the legalization of gay marriage.” — Genre editor Neal Boulton You ever notice that Democrats, like John Kerry and […]

After reviewing the 2007 Senate vote ratings at the nonpartisan National Journal, I’m starting to make sense of Joe Biden as Obama’s VP pick. The Obamessiah has promised to unite the country, despite being the most extreme leftist in the entire Senate. That’s where Biden comes in: Obama could have gone with the second most […]

I DVR’d the Democratic Convention and just finished watching it (It was even worse than most of the Democratic debates, which is really saying something). Here’s a short review of the major events that happened , 1) They started with a pathetic piece that featured Jimmy Carter walking around New Orleans, bemoaning Katrina, which incidentally […]

Something about this story really rubs me the wrong way, A Connecticut youth baseball team with a phenomenal 9-year-old pitcher has been disqualified because its team is too good. The team, Will Power Fitness, has an 8-0 record thanks in large part to pitcher Jericho Scott, the New Haven Register reports. His pitching is so […]

Yesterday, I let RWN’s readers try to come up with the best nicknames for Obama/Biden ticket. Below are my faves. Feel free to vote for the best ones. The best nickname for the Obama/Biden ticket is…Bambi and Thumper.Barack and Ernie.Boo Boo & Yogi.Clean and Jerk.Pinko and the Brain.Smarmy and Smirky.The Blunder Twins.The Skipper and Gilligan.  Free […]

A small group of white power nutjobs apparently came up with some sort of ill conceived, meth inspired plot to kill Barack Obama and happily, were caught and will hopefully be sent to prison for the rest of their lives, CBS4 has learned at least four people are under arrest in connection with a possible […]

The speech itself felt mechanical. There were some interesting quotes including: “I love America!” [Note: As an aside, I feel like if you have to say it, you call it into question.] “We will build the world as it should be.” “Hillary Clinton put 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling”–and this is a paraphrase–and […]

The disgraced John Edwards has proven himself right about there being two Americas: one is rich enough to get their campaign donations quietly refunded; the other is poor enough to ignore. Following Warren Buffet’s warning that donors could give the ambulance-chasing Breck Girl a dose of his own medicine with a class action lawsuit, DBKP […]

People who are honest will admit that race is a double edged sword for Barack Obama. Yes, there are certainly racist Democrats and independents out there who will not vote for Barack Obama because he’s black. On the other hand, if Barack Obama weren’t black, he could have never gotten this far. A white man […]

Conversation with an acquaintance in anticipation of school starting: Acquaintance: I’m not happy about my son’s class placement. Well, the teacher is good, but the kid who rubbed his penis against another kid and then peed on his leg last year is in my kid’s class. Me: So ask to get your kid switched. Acquaintance: […]

It looks like the moonbats at Daily Kos can smell a drubbing coming their way. The inevitable tinfoil-hat gibbering about stolen elections has already begun. A Kostard calling itself midwestvoter snivels: “We are really going to do this; Man, it’s really going to happen!”, I kept thinking. The more I thought about what is possible […]

Granted, you can’t say that Roseanne Barr is relevant to the political scene or that her scribblings are influential, like those of the bloggers at the HuffPo or the Daily Kos, but wow, is her blogging fun to read — well, if by “fun,” you mean penned by a liberal lunatic who probably needs her […]

Nancy Pelosi on natural gas: On NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, the speaker twice seemed to suggest that natural gas – an energy source she favors – is not a fossil fuel. “I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels,” she said at one point. Natural gas “is cheap, […]

This week, despite getting some pretty terrible placement and having them initially put my column under someone else’s name, I managed to still sneak into the #4 slot on Townhall for the week in forwards. To be up there will people like Ann Coulter, Thomas Sowell, and John Stossel is a real honor.

There are three excellent nicknames I’ve seen for Obama/Biden. The first was the Clean and Jerk ticket, which is a reference to Biden’s infamous comment about Obama, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” I also like […]
