Yes, it is according to former Californian (and still Birkenstock-wearer), Allysia Finley, in this Wall Street Journal piece, “California Is The Lindsey Lohan Of States.” This is her assessment after the recent election. I must say, she does make some good points in this article: [snip] After enjoying ephemeral highs and spending binges, you suffer [...]

Actually, here are a number of signs, in fact. Allegedly, these are real signs on Northbound I-5 in Washington State, below Seattle (and I wish I knew who to credit for these). With so much going on right now, there is nothing like a little humor to deal with it all, right (even if some [...]

Well, at least according to Newsweek, that is. Yes, the brain trust at Newsweek have decided that the US ranks eleventh in the world. Why? Well, I bet you can guess if you think about it for a minute. Give up? This headline by Brent Baker at Newsbusters will make it clear, “Newsweek Ranks U.S. [...]

Two prominent members of the House of Representatives, Charlie Rangel, and Maxine Waters, are both facing a number of Ethics charges. Both are fighting these charges, and Rep. Waters has also intimated these charges are based on race, not any wrong doing on her part. Yeah. Okay. I am sure it will not surprise you [...]

First, let me wish NQ readers a happy Fourth of July, or whatever it is you wish Americans at this time. Personally, I think Americans may have missed out on a lot of things by breaking away from British rule (like being able to sing “Rule Britannia” at the Last Night of The Proms, but [...]

The military policy, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” has been in the news a good bit of late, including a recent story that some Democrats do not want to wait for the study Obama proposed to conclude December 1, conveniently after the election. Well, they might as well stop trying. This story just out (h/t to [...]

I caught this commentary earlier, and thought it seemed like perfect Friday night fare. And it is so in keeping with the “shrug of the shoulder” mentality of Obama’s supporters whenever he does a major flip or flop, and he has done plenty. And he did another big one just this week on Offshore Drilling. [...]

As I say in this video, my latest project – another attempt to spread culture among the masses and save western civilization – has been a real labour of love. As regular viewers of my Youtube channel will know, I regard Mozart as the greatest composer ever. But while I love a lot of his [...]

Since my last stab at a Gilbert and Sullivan pastiche – “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Intellectual” – seemed to have been enjoyed by a lot of people here on NQ and on my Youtube channel, I thought I would share one of my latest efforts. This time there is no video [...]

This video explains why I haven’t uploaded many videos lately. It is the first in a three-part series that tells of a musical I have been working on, which I hope will at least provide some entertainment for my friends on No Quater and on my Youtube channel.

And Olbermann’s response to him. Now you know I used to watch both Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart religiously. I’m not about to start watching Olbermann again, but after the mocking Jon Stewart did of Olbermann, I may just have to start watching “The Daily Show” again. He’s been on fire recently. The other night, [...]

One major bit of news that went largely unnoticed this weekend was the passage of this rather significant bill,Defense Appropriations Bill Passes Senate 88-10, Clears Way For Health Bill. Yes, this pesky little bill needed to be take care of before the Democrats could begin to ram the Health “Care” bill (and its attendant expenses) [...]

At first blush, one would think, not much. But recently, a number of Miss Americas, and one Miss Utah, who is also a former sergeant in the Army, traveled to Afghanistan to meet with the troops. Oh, you might recognize one woman in particular, especially if you are a fan of The Amazing Race, as [...]

My friends over at the GoverNuts Headquarters have asked me to help them share a little holiday cheer with the unregulated media monitors – you – on this blog. They, The Nuts, enjoy the writers and the ever-clever POTUS (Oh, be still. That’s PEOPLE Of The United States) who add colonoscopic, penetrating insight to real [...]

[First published at No Quarter USA on February 22, 2009. See the original and its comments HERE ] I wrote this piece in a moment of prescience about six months ago, only a month after the Coronation Inauguration of our current White House Resident. Even then, while most of America still found him enchanting, which [...]
