TMZ: Recovering missing soldiers is a “ridiculous waste”

TMZ, the celebrity gossip site, has taken a break from posting about Britney’s crotch shots, celebrity sex tapes, fashion scandals, and American Idol to opine about taxes and the military. Here’s what they had to say: Former “Bachelor” bachelor Andy Baldwin just got back from the island of Palau in the South Pacific — not […]

Some day all the old hippies will be dead

Until then, one of the many ex-Mr. Jane Fondas runs off his mouth in the Nation… That opening paragraph sets the tone for the rest: oddly chosen scare quotes, plenty of question marks, and plenty of self-obsession. Those first-person pronouns are real. Musing upon an old photo of himself, Hayden can’t resist claiming, for example, […]

Extras from “Oz” march through Calgary, get laughed at, go home

Radical Islam wants to take over the world, Toronto Muslims run “welfare harem” scams and their colleagues around the nation try to silence Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn. But fear not: the Canadian Left is oh-so-bravely fighting “the real enemy” — two dozen illiterate bald dudes in ugly t-shirts. (Kathy Shaidle blogs daily at FiveFeetOfFury.com, […]

Q&A Friday #86: The McCain Question

Question: “I’d like to know what you consider to be the positives and negatives of McCain relative to the issues.

Q&A Friday #86: Wright Is Obama’s Swift Boat Veterans For Truth.

Question: “I have been wondering who caused those videos of Jeremish Wright preaching anti-Americanism and race hatred to come out. Media outlets talk about them as though they just spontaneously appeared from nowhere, saying they “surfaced” on the internet. Do you think someone deliberately pushed them out to the MSM — and by “someone” I […]

Quote Of The Day: White “Resentment”

“The white “resentment” that Obama speaks of does not primarily come from direct effects of affirmative action or the welfare state. It comes from the societal message that the majority of white people, who have had no part in oppressing anyone, are asked again and again and again to take responsibility for ills they did […]

Q&A Friday #86: Protecting National Parks

Question: “What does Hawkins think about this subject: I am usually a pretty average hybrid libertarian-conservative about things, but the hardest thing for me to reconcile with that (especially when talking to the other side) is land use and parkland. I can’t picture too many of the great parks (Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Glacier) having arisen […]

What Does This Necklace Say About The Woman Wearing It?

My buddy Amanda Carpenter came across this “feminist pendant”… That’s not exactly a, “Wow, that looks so pretty I want to hang it around my neck” pendant, right? You are definitely trying to send a message when you wear it. But, what message? On the page that displays the jewelry, it says, “Wear your hanger […]

The Wright Effect: Obama’s Numbers Have Started To Plunge

There have been people predicting that the Jeremiah Wright scandal would destroy Obama’s campaign. Although that may turn out to be true, it still seems like a bit too much of a presumption to make. Instead, I would compare this to Hillary’s horrible flub of a “Driver’s Licenses For Illegals” question at a debate. It […]

Barack Obama: Al Sharpton 2.0

Barack Obama’s speech yesterday was the same old, same old being marketed as something radically new and different. But, honest question: the rhetoric may have changed, but where’s the real difference? For example, Barack Obama strongly condemned some of the recent, racist, anti-American comments that his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright, made. That’s good. But, did […]

Why I’d Want A Pre-Nup If I Were Rich

Last week, I was talking with one my friends on the phone and she was telling me how much she hated the idea of men having their wives sign pre-nuptial agreements. That’s because, in her mind, the agreements were a sign that the man doesn’t view the marriage as permanent. But, au contraire, I told […]

Little Ms. “prisoner on a leash” from Abu Ghraib is out of prison and causing a stir, Lynndie England, the public face of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, told a German news magazine that she was sorry for appearing in photographs of detainees in the notorious Iraqi prison, and believes the scenes of torture and […]

What Can The GOP Do To Reach Out To The Ron Paul Crowd? Not Much.

From the Washington Times, “Ron Paul says the legions of newcomers his presidential campaign brought to the Republican Party are getting the cold shoulder from John McCain and from the party. The Texas congressman says neither he nor his supporters have heard from Mr. McCain or Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan since March 4, […]

Excerpt Of The Day: Newt On The Obama Speech

“So, here’s question; if you knew a year ago that (Wright) was saying things so anti-American, so dishonest, so hateful, that you were going to have to disown him, then…why did you only disown him when it became such a big political issue? And if you thought what he was saying was false and wrong […]

Florida And Michigan Revotes Unlikely By James Joyner

The hopes of Democratic Party leaders to solve the delegate impasses in Florida and Michigan have been dashed, as technicalities have proven impossible to overcome. The AP reports that, “Facing strong opposition, Florida Democrats on Monday abandoned plans to hold a do-over presidential primary with a mail-in vote and threw the delegate dispute into the […]
