Not only is the GOP losing special elections, it’s managing to lose elections in districts where its candidates should be winning by 10 points without even campaigning, Democrat Travis Childers won Tuesday’s Mississippi special election runoff for Sen. Roger Wicker’s (R) former House seat, handing Democrats the biggest of their three special election takeovers this […]

Question: “Not sure if you have mentioned this on RightWingNews, but there are rumors out there that Huckabee is at the top of McCain’s short list of VP picks. Can you comment, please? Huckabee Tops McCain VP List” — ToddonCapeCod Answer: The veepstakes rumor mill has been spinning fast and furious of late and a […]

Jim Geraghty on the big win for Hillary Clinton in West Virginia. He makes one valuable point for the Democratic echo chamber: You’ll see the press, and Obama’s surrogates (perhaps I repeat myself) insist that tonight’s result means nothing, and indeed, in the delegate count, the effect is marginal. But superdelegates ought to be sweating. […]

The website of the day is Althouse.

Since liberals have already gotten even more hypersensitive than normal about any sort of criticism aimed at Barack Obama, I thought it would be fun to make a 30 second video that would really p*ss them off. Plus, let’s face it, Hopey Hussein McChangeunity is a huge pansy, especially compared to John McCain. Heck, even […]

Obama’s 57 states screw-up really caught my eye and I’ll tell you why: not only did he miss how many states we have, he missed it really badly and didn’t catch his own error after he said it. That means that it wasn’t just a slip of the tongue and I have trouble believing that […]

Over at the Daily Kos, diarist nepos libertas veered all the way from the standard liberal sympathy towards Palestinian terrorists, to anti-Zionism, to wacko conspiracy theories and flat out anti-semitism. Here are some excerpts from his post, Eulogy before the Inevitability of Self-Destruction: The Decline and Death of Israel …Before the covetous Zionist movement multiply […]

The New York Times put together a piece called “‘Mad Pride’ Fights a Stigma.” Part of the article focuses on people working to de-stigmatize mental illness — which is fine as far as it goes. The world is full of mentally ill people who aren’t dangerous and who lead full, productive lives. Just as an […]

It’s really, really early, but just for the heck of it, here are my first election projections for the White House in November. The political environment is still heavily tilted against the GOP. It may even be as bad as it was back in 2006. Additionally, having a President as unpopular as George Bush and […]

The Wall Street Journal reports reports on a bill that looks like it will soon pass through Congress with enough votes to withstand a Bush veto. Unions keep losing membership as a share of the national workforce, which explains why organized labor’s main political focus is changing the rules to force more workers into unions. […]

So, I’m walking through the super market and I see the newest copy of the Globe, which has, among other things, this, on the cover, Now, after seeing that, you’re probably wondering what it’s all about. You’re probably thinking, “Has Obama been murdering gay people in his spare time?” or alternately, “I knew that guy […]

“It’s pretty clear to me that the Democratic agenda is to turn us into France.” — Mitch McConnell

On the one hand, the more liberals (and who else would buy into something this stupid) who get on board with this group, the better, “May we live long and die out” is the unofficial motto of a new movement that seeks to improve the Earth’s ecosystem by ensuring that the human species does not […]

I’m working on a column called “A Man’s Responsibilities,” and I’d like you to suggest any responsibilities that you think a man has by virtue of being a man, below in the comments section. The piece is just starting to take shape and I want to make sure I’m not missing anything.

The WAPO has done a piece that is supposed to be a damning indictment of the type of care captured illegals get before they’re deported. Personally, I think it reads better as a preview of what would happen if the Democrats got their way and socialized medicine came to pass. Just take a look at […]

“None of the 22 Democrats interviewed by the Financial Times at the Clinton rally would commit themselves to voting for Mr Obama if he became the nominee, and half said they definitely would not. The depth of opposition is particularly striking considering that Mingo County is one of the most Democratic places in West Virginia, […]

Romesh Ratnesar takes to the pages of TIME to ask, in apparent seriousness, “Is It Time to Invade Burma?” The disaster in Burma presents the world with perhaps its most serious humanitarian crisis since the 2004 Asian tsunami. By most reliable estimates, close to 100,000 people are dead. Delays in delivering relief to the victims, […]

Three political goals – less pollution, less dependence of foreign oil, develop incentives for alternative fuels. Today’s Reality – gas prices are sharply up. Probable Result – less miles driven, thus less pollution, less dependence on foreign oil and more of an incentive to develop alternative fuels. More citizens using mass transit. Today’s election year […]

Michael Young at Reason Magazine is shocked, shocked at all that “strange new respect” being directed to Hezbollah by “the writer and academic Norman Finkelstein.” (Via Goldberg, via Instapundit.) “Writer and academic”? Yeah, wasn’t Joseph Goebbels one of those, too? Then, as a topper — Noam Chomsky! Sympathetic to Arab mass murderers, those guys? Really? […]

First off, I want to wish all the moms out there a very happy Mother’s Day. If you want to keep it happy, I’d advise you not watch the following video clip of females in Obama’s travelling press corps swooning over and oogling a jeans-clad Barack Obama on a plane: Is it just me or […]

My mom birthed me, therefore I am. Thanks mom! Wait is it 10:41 CST? Why, yes it is. I rolled my old bones out of bed an hour ago, secure in the knowledge that I got to sleep in today. Sleeping is just better when you know someone else is responsible for the urchins. A […]

I had no intention of writing another “liberals seethe” post regarding Jenna Bush’s nuptials. Been there, done that. Yet, this one caught my eye. Why? Because it was not the DU, Kosbat, HuffPost, or any of the usual suspects. Here is the winning comment for Most Compassionate Liberal A gross filthy little *** who eats […]

Even Cindy Sheehan concedes this would be too tacky…but the Westboro Cult has never let something small like tact get in the way. I’m not sure how these attention whores twist a heterosexual marriage into an appropriate place to protest homosexuality, but then I don’t see how they twist any of the funerals they protest […]

Professional racist Al Sharpton ruined careers with the Tawana Brawley hoax, got Yankel Rosenbaum killed by inciting riots in Crown Heights, and provoked the murder of seven people at a “white interloper’s” store in Harlem. Just this week, he shut down New York City’s bridges and tunnels with yet another of his self-serving publicity stunts. […]

OK, that’s not saying too much, since the previous “greatest hour” was, by general consensus, The Trailer Park Boy’s Christmas Special… In less than a month, a quasi-judicial tribunal may order Canada’s oldest national newsweekly to run 5 pages of Islamist propoganda, because the magazine once printed an excerpt from Mark Steyn’s book America Alone. […]

Is anyone surprised? From the Wall Street Journal: Sen. Barack Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption, according to officials from the union and the Obama campaign. It’s an unusual stance for a presidential candidate. […]

Un-freakin-believable. Here’s the Head Huffpo herself being a REAL class act on the Colbert Report: I don’t know where she gets that McCain is some ulta-right wing conservative now all of a sudden, because honey, he’s not. It’s interesting, though, that Arianna Huffington, of all people, would criticize someone for switching sides. Isn’t she, like, […]
