Sacramento’s Out Of Iraq Forum

Sacramento’s Out Of Iraq Forum sounds like it was a rollicking good time for anti-war lefties. Just look at some of what happened there last week-end… “…anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, author David Dionisi, 4th Congressional District candidate Charles Brown, and surprise guests–academy-award winning Sean Penn and author Norm Solomon spoke to a packed SEIU hall […]

Suing Jacko By Lee

And this it begins, again. Michael Jackson is facing new charges of child molestation following allegations from a 20-year-old that the singer assaulted him, forced him to have plastic surgery and stole his musical ideas. “It is alleged that my client was present at Michael Jackson’s residences and other places from the age of two […]

The Bore-Alito Hearings

Now some of you out there probably remember that I was right in the thick of the pitchfork-wielding mob of conservative peasants that was figuratively storming Castle Bush after he nominated Harriet Miers. After all that, after at least a post a day for weeks hammering on Bush and Miers, you’re probably wondering: “What’s going […]

Orrin Hatch: Stevens Retiring Within A Year Or So?

You think the Democrats are gnashing their teeth over Alito? Well, in a year or so, if Orrin Hatch turns out to be right, you haven’t seen anything yet. From Matt Margolis, who got to hear Hatch speak at an RNC blogger forum in Washington: “Hatch also believes that there will another vacancy before the […]

NARAL’s Anti-Alito Petition Drive Flops By Betsy Newmark

NARAL has come up a mite bit short on their stated effort to gather half a million signatures opposing Sam Alito. NARAL’s Goal: “To Convince Enough Senators That Alito Is Wrong For Our Country, We Are Setting A Goal Of Gathering 500,000 Petition Signatures To Deliver To The Senate.” (NARAL Email, “Just 5 Days Left!” […]

Women’s Rights Gone Wrong

This is like some off-the-wall Scrappleface parody of what’s wrong with feminism and Europe come to life, but, I assure you, it’s not satire: “The 500 companies listed on Norway’s stock exchange face being shut down unless they install women on their boards over the next two years in a radical initiative imposed by a […]

Stern Shows Sirius Radio Can Work

I’ve always been a little skeptical about whether Sirius radio would ultimately work. After all, most pay-for-content deals on the internet have flopped because very few people put out content that’s so compelling, so much better than everyone else’s work, that it’s worth paying for. That being said, Howard Stern debuted on Sirius radio yesterday […]

Term Limits And A Complacent Congress

There was an editorial in the Wall Street Journal taking Republicans in Congress to task for putting politics over principle. Here’s an excerpt that will give you the gist of it: “The real House GOP problem isn’t about lobbyists so much as it is the atrophying of its principles. As their years in power have […]

Your First Amendment Rights Don’t Extend To Protesting Funerals

Some well intentioned people would say this is covered under the First Amendment, but I’d have to disagree: “A hate group based in Topeka, Kan. released a press release on Wednesday entitled “Thank God for 12 dead miners” and promises to picket the funerals for the slain men. The hate group, which operates as Westboro […]

DeLay Does The Right Thing

From RWN on Sept 28, 2005: As most of you undoubtedly already know, Tom DeLay has been indicted on dubious charges by a prosecutor with a history of politically motivated prosecutions. ….That being said, this indictment will result in the mainstream media spending months loudly and gleefully accusing DeLay of corruption while darkly hinting that […]

Germany’s new chancellor has some advice for America. In an interview, Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel, says she will plead with United States President George W. Bush to close the controversial Guantanamo prison camp, where some suspects have been held without trial since the start of the war on terror. Just days before her first visit […]

The Most Annoying Conservatives/Republicans For 2005

After putting together the most annoying liberals of 2005, I thought it was only fair to do a follow-up nailing people on the other side of the aisle. Enjoy! 20) Barbara Bush: Oh yeah Barbara, there’s nothing poor people love better than sleeping in the Astrodome. 19) Ralph Peters: All good people hate the French, […]

Robertson: Ignorant Remarks Caused by God’s Wrath — Satire By Scott Ott

Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, who yesterday told viewers that God’s wrath spurred Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s massive stroke, today said his own “ignorant remarks are another manifestation of God’s anger.” The popular Tv Personality said God punished Mr. Sharon, 77, for dividing the land that God gave to the Israelites, and that Mr. Robertson’s […]

Arnold Is Giving Fiscal Conservatives A Raw Deal

I didn’t support Ah-nold when he ran for governor of California not just because he’s a RINO, but because the Pants-A-Nator has morals a little too similar to Bill Clinton’s for my taste. That being said, I do have to admit I was warming up to the Governor. He was getting the California budget under […]

NYTimes Blames Bush For Miner Tragedy By Sister Toldjah

In an editorial piece today that should surprise no one, the New York Times chose to play the blame game with the horrible miner tragedy in West Virginia where 12 of 13 miners were killed were killed in a coal mine blast accident.

The Immutable Laws Of Business By DJ Drummond

Yesterday, I noted the difference in one comparable experience between United Parcel Service (UPS), a private delivery service, and the United States Postal Service (USPS), the government mail delivery service. An interesting debate followed concerning the value and need for certain government functions. Certainly a key difference between Republicans and Democrats, is the question of […]
