Sexist Pig Kerry Is NOT Funny »

Some of you may have heard that Senator John Kerry tried to make a joke about Governor Palin recently in light of Gov. Sanford’s, um, “adventure”. Like his previous comedic attempts, it was NOT funny. Seriously - he should leave comedy to the professionals (and Letterman doesn’t count). Anyway, The Sleuth from [...]

Stop Making Excuses For This Guy!! (Correction) »

“This Guy” being President Obama, and the ones making excuses for him are people in the LGBT community. In this particular instance, I mean over “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Yes, the Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to “DADT” in the case of Infantryman, and JAG officer, James Pietrangelo II (H/T to Soldier4Hillary [...]

Payback’s A Bitch »

The other day, a friend asked me if it was really so bad for the government to run a corporation, and added that they do some of that over in Britain. My answer was, “Yes, yes it is.” For a whole host of reasons of which I can think (and feel free to [...]

Bush Redux, Redux, Redux… »

As in Obama is continuing to channel Bush. I could just as easily entitle this, “Obama is going to make my head explode - AGAIN.” So this morning, I’m watching the news, and they’re all getting ready for Obama to make YET ANOTHER &*#$#&& press conference about how he wants to cut a [...]

GOP R.I.P. »

Originally published today at The Daily Beast, which wrote, “Conservative radio host John Batchelor says it’s obvious: His Republican Party is a corpse. And its response to the financial crisis reveals how and when it died.”
The Republican Party is dead like Lehman Brothers and Robert E. Lee, not to be revived by [...]

The Idiocy of Advocacy »

Or perhaps this essay should be entitled “Some Advocates Are Idiots.” The idiots are MoveOn.org and Americans United for Change, who according to Karl Rove, the idiot par excellence, are targeting moderate Democrats in a vain attempt to garner support for Obama’s budget proposal. I quote the Wall Street Journal:
Americans United is going [...]

Novelty Always Evaporates »

David Axelrod manufactures commodities, not politicians: they don suits; they read teleprompters; they promise something new and unprecedented; but these newfangled objects cannot govern. No, I am not referring to Barack Obama, although this news does not bode well for Axelrod’s latest product; I am discussing Deval Patrick, who according to a 7News [...]

Well, Maybe If They READ The Damn Thing »

That would be the Economic Stimulus bill, the one shoved through in such a hurry, no one had time to read it. No, they could not be bothered to take one WEEK to comb through the more than one THOUSAND pages of this bill. Maybe, just maybe, if they had, they would have [...]

What’s In A Name »

A lot. One thing we learned from the Bush Administration - make up a name for a bill or act that is diametrically opposite of what the act wil actually do. Then, talk it up!
I am referring to the Employee Free Choice Act, the brainchild of the large unions in this country, who [...]

rush limbaugh: hitler or malcolm x? »

The latest video from Zo. Love him, or hate him, agree or disagree, but interesting, indeed.

Personally, I love listening to what Zo has to say, and he offers perspectives on issues that I have never considered. This video tackles the attacks on Rush, from the left. Take a listen, and then share your comments below. [...]

Party Like It’s 1999? »

Here’s some news you can use (cough): Wednesday nights are PARTY nights at the White House since the Obamas moved in. Who cares if we are trillions and trillions of dollars in debt? What’s the big deal about people losing their jobs? Or their homes? Just stop complaining, go out and [...]

I’m No Economist »

But Paul Krugman is. And he had this to say about the team Obama has put together to deal with the economy: All the President’s Zombies. Nice title, eh? Pretty much sums it up, but Mr. Krugman does go on to explain:
Ben Bernanke’s testimony over the past two days gives us our [...]

A Fresh and Honest Perspective »

It is often difficult, if not near impossible, for an individual, company, institution, or even a government to provide a measured, honest, and unbiased perspective of a difficult situation. Given one’s proximity and emotional attachment to the situation, human nature clouds one’s viewpoint and, in turn, one’s reactions and responses.
How great it is when we [...]

In The “Better To Laugh” … »

(bumped up by Susan from Sunday evening)
… Than Cry” department, I bring you the following Onion videos. Oh, sure, I thought about writing more about the whole Stimulus package, being hailed as a HUGE victory of “historic proportions” for Obama (I kid you not - check out this Washington Post article). As if [...]

“Savior-Based Economy”? »

So says my governor, Mark Sanford, of SC in this interview with John King on CNN (MAJOR H/T to SusanUnPC at No Quarter for this story):
Embedded video from CNN Video
A “Savior-based” economy. Well, Heaven knows, Obama has certainly been set up as The Messiah, so it makes sense that this would be the kind [...]

“The Impending Obama Meltdown” »

Earlier in the week, one of my aunts sent me a piece by Victor Davis Hanson, The Impending Obama Meltdown (SusanUnPC also included this article in her excellent piece, “Is Barack Obama On The Precipice Of Becoming Jimmy Carter?“). I don’t want to be premature, but maybe, just maybe, there are some journalists coming [...]

Unclear On The Concept »

Ed. Note: Stay tuned for LD’s Central Station Q&A at 9:00 a.m. Rev. Amy’s piece is a perfect warm-up for your questions for LD!
**************************************
US Senators are still debating and fighting over the stimulus package Obama wants. People are furious about the amount the House passed, so what does the Senate do? Increases [...]

What Could Possibly Be Wrong With These Earmarks? »

We keep hearing about the almost $1 TRILLION dollar “stimulus” package put forth by Obama and the Democratic leadership. And we keep hearing that a number of Republicans are pretty upset about some of the “pork” put in there.
Well, the Republicans have put out a list of some of the more egregious [...]
