Last night, Hannity of FOX News had two female panelists, both conservatives, discussing Sarah Palin’s new book, her great success selling 300,000 copies the first day and the derangement syndrome of the left in trashing her and calling her “dangerous.” Obama’s campaign arm, Organizing for America, is looking to raise $500,000 to combat this [...]

I had a big report all ready to share with you, but it got lost in the server upgrade. Cutting to the chase: You can watch the vote LIVE on Fox News TV (and on-line) or on C-Span TV (or on-line). I see that Blanche and Mary have caved, so it may be a [...]

EDITOR’S NOTE: We are undergoing a server upgrade, and you will notice some glitches until the upgrade is complete. Bear with us. BTW: We have a live thread going up to cover the CLOTURE VOTE coming up. UPDATE: The upgrade is complete.
Trashing a vehicle is pretty easy to [...]

Karzai Rots.
Fred Thompson addressed his radio audience (above) with a concise and entirely accurate measure of the Obama administration’s incompetence with regard Afghanistan.
POTUS has stalled and manipulated the McChrystal request for additional resources, and this peculiar commander-in-chief conduct has exasperated the public and puzzled the politicians.

What is fueling America’s populist rage?
Is it the unemployment situation? Is it the volatility in the markets? The weakening greenback? Perhaps the generally perceived level of incompetence amongst our political and corporate leaders? Is it a media that does not hold our public officials and corporate leaders accountable?
While I could write extensively – and I [...]

I know some consider us a full-up Barack Obama hate site. We are not. I do not hate the man. I do think he is a good husband and a good father. His daughters clearly adore him, and it is tough to fake what teenage girls think about [...]

60 Votes.
Retiring Vermont Senator Judd Gregg was quoted in The Hill arguing in a sour fashion that the Democrats would pass some version of healthcare by moaning about 60 votes in the Senate and then constructing them afterall. The bill then will go to Conference, where all the progressive cooking [...]

Than look at ACORN. Yet, the hits just keep on coming. There is another tape out from James O’Keefe of filmmaker James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles going to ACORN offices in an expose of the lengths to which ACORN workers will go to assist in setting up an underage prostitution ring. Here [...]

Dropped off a cliff.
A cliff.
Things are fine! We PLANNED this! Honest!
It’s part of the Recovery! Now go watch Survivor.
The housing market dropped off a cliff in October, as the original Nov. 30th expiration date for the first-time home buyers tax credit approached, according to the Housing Market Monitor of the Center for Economic and [...]

Time reveals truth.
I love that pearl of wisdom shared by Danielle Park, my guest this past Sunday evening on No Quarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle. I find it very applicable to the recently released economic report on housing starts. What did that report indicate? Housing starts in October registered a supposed surprising [...]

Nunly (aka, Divine Democrat), has allowed us to publish her post from Bad Habit.
Last night, while watching TV, I heard a blip on the news about how woman are being told that we don’t need those nasty ol’ mammograms anymore until we are 50 years old…and even then, only once every two years. [...]

Here’s Tina Brown’s lament for The One’s visit to China on today’s MSNBC Morning Joe, transcribed by moi:
It’s sad that Obama can’t say anything about dissidents when he goes to China. It’s sad that he can’t raise anything. You know, he just has to go there and suck up.

It’s evident, as this satire reflects:
I’m sure we all agree that Miranda warnings for U.S. citizens are a precious right. (See the original Supreme Court decision and its history: Miranda v. Arizona.) Most everyone, thanks to countless TV shows, is aware of that right. And, also thanks to TV dramas, we’ve all seen [...]

* Bumped up *
The Republican charges of “Death Panels” in the first House health care bill (a jumbled mess for the most part) was over-the-top dramatic. But as any reader could easily discern, the tide had shifted from “get a team OK before letting them go” towards “get a team to assess keeping them [...]
