Recently, I got an email from my old friend, C., with a link to an article at CNN. The article was, “High Court To Decide If War Memorial Violates the Constitution.” It being Sunday and all, I thought this might be a good time to discuss this. If you are unfamiliar with [...]

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this Editorial in the New York Times, “A Threat To Fair Elections“. With great excitement, I began to read, wondering if they were FINALLY going to start addressing some of the issues from this past election (not to mention the two previous ones). You [...]

I’m speaking of Obama, of course (h/t to Gateway Pundit for the video). Now some of you know I am a big baseball fan, as well as a big “West Wing” fan, along with other writers here (talking about you, Bronwyn!), so when I see this:

As I type, Judge Sonia Sotomayor is appearing before the US Senate as she continues the arduous process of confirmation for the US Supreme Court. I look forward to seeing what comes out in her (well rehearsed) answers, and to learning more about her. Do I think she should be confirmed? I [...]

Fellow NQ writer, LisaB, has covered the issue of the SCOTUS and the New Haven Firefighters, but this video contained information I had not previously heard:
So, there WERE African Americans and Hispanics who passed the exam, too, something previously unreported. As Mr. Ricci said, the press did NOT do its job, accepting as fact [...]

Middle School was the pits.
The only kids who weren’t self-conscious in the extreme about their evolving bodies and appearance were those few precocious jocks destined for high school football glory. To minimize exposure of the shiny wire braces on his teeth, one of my friends refused to speak unless absolutely necessary. Another [...]

No kidding. You can’t make this shit up. This animal actually said that. I just cannot believe it. I mean I really can’t believe it. I’m so pissed off I had to post this on my “day off!”.
Toss another knuckle-dragging sack of crap into the pile that guarantees the Republican Party will never recover. Imagine [...]

Rachel’s commentary speaks for itself. Judge Sotomayor is a moderate, and has made several pro-business rulings. Here’s Rachel’s source:

Everyone has been e-mailing me about this video. Senator Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) takes President Obama out to the woodshed, and accuses the president of being “AWOL on leadership,” a point I was making in my story last night, “Is Barack Obama on the Precipice of Becoming Jimmy Carter?“:
WOW! Someone with some common [...]

As Lilly Ledbetter approached her retirement after working as a Goodyear plant supervisor for many years, someone slipped her a disturbing fact. Her male colleagues had been making far more than she was. She sued.
A jury found Goodyear guilty, but the Supreme Court threw [...]

I love watching The McLaughlin Group (transcripts | podcasts). I often watch it two or three times, thanks to my DVR, because I want to catch everything, and I often miss important remarks the first time ’round. ( Say, I’ve heard — via some grapevines — that Mssr. McLaughlin loves the ladies. Maybe that’s [...]

It has taken the better part of a year, and specifically the last six months of this election season, for committed citizen journalists at NoQuarter and many other blogsites to do the research on Barack Obama that the media, the democratic national committee, and our Congress should have done. Although our collective knowledge of Barack Obama [...]

I’m sitting here thinking that ACORN is committing in-your-face voter registration fraud all over the country,
Barack Obama paid ACORN more than $800,000 via one of their hundreds of subsidiaries operating out of the same address. The purpose: To “Get Out The Vote”. He trained early little ACORNS when they were just little nuts in Chicago–and [...]

One factor in Obama’s ongoing downfall—or something that may slow his fall—was his refusal this past summer and continued refusal to join McCain in a series of town hall gatherings. Senator McCain showed his strength and presence as he sat with the women of The View last week for what turned out to be [...]

As thunder pounds the skies and shakes the earth here — basso continuo, like tympani drums as gargantuan as the mountains, with a deep, unholy timbre that is frightening and foreboding, so much so that friends’ dogs are hiding under their beds — I talked to a friend who told me to check out this [...]
