"This is a good book for those with no training, education, or experience in political science, economics, or probably anything else, and wish to read the opinions of an unlicensed plumber who also has no training or experience in anything relevant." "I could not put the book down. Seriously, something really sticky was on the cover" "In this book and … Read More
Rush, She’s Just Not That Into You
Rush Limbaugh can't figure out why women don't like him: Women don’t really like Rush Limbaugh. On Feb. 23, Public Policy Polling released findings showing that only 37 percent of women hold a favorable opinion of the hate radio host, compared to 56 percent of men. As Jill Zimon notes, Limbaugh brought up this poll yesterday on his radio show, noting … Read More
Malkin, Idiot
I really should let this go, but I can't. Michelle Malkin today writes: On Nov. 4, after Barack Obama clinched the White House, the market closed at 9,625.28. In mid-morning trading today, the day President Obama signs his massive Generational Theft Act into law and a day before he unveils a massive new mortgage entitlement, the Dow dropped to to … Read More
What Hath Rush, Hannity And O’Reilly Wrought?
James Adkisson has been sentenced to life behind bars for the deaths of Greg McKendry and Linda Kraeger, the Unitarian Universalist church-goers who died during his assault on their church in Knoxville, TN last July. What Adkisson left behind is his four-page handwritten manifesto, which can be read here (PDF format). It's a reiteration of the talking points of Rush Limbaugh, … Read More
Fox News Busted
Still have doubts that Fox News is an arm of the Republican Party? This should lay those doubts to rest. Yesterday, on Fox News' Happening Now, host Jon Scott told his viewers: "The Senate is expected to pass the $838 billion stimulus plan — its version of it, anyway. We thought we'd take a look back at the bill, how … Read More
O’Reilly Dumber Than Supermodel Jessica Alba
Heh: Jessica Alba is setting the record straight: Sweden was neutral during World War II. Alba and Fox TV show host Bill O’Reilly traded punches last week after the presidential inauguration. After Alba told a Fox reporter that O’Reilly was “kind of an a-hole;” he retaliated by calling her a “pinhead” for telling a reporter to “be Sweden about it,” … Read More
How To Deal With Rush Limbaugh
The wrong way: In a bid to capitalize on Rush Limbaugh's recent comment that he hopes President Obama "fails," national Democrats launched a petition drive Wednesday taking direct aim at the conservative radio host. "Jobs, health care, our place in the world — the stakes for our nation are high and every American needs President Obama to succeed," says the … Read More
Nathan Tabor On Evolution and Gays
Our locally-living nationally-syndicated columnist, Nathan Tabor, is a howl today. After trying to make the argument that Obama's policies will effectively result in genocide of African-Americans (yes, he really makes that argument), Tabor writes: But blacks are not the only minority group which could suffer under the Democratic regime in Washington. Democratic leaders believe that children must be taught evolution, … Read More
The Brilliance of Pat Buchanan
Pat bemoans the fate of the GOP: What has been happening to the GOP? Three fatal contractions. Demographically, the GOP is a party of white Americans, who in 1972 were perhaps 90 percent of the national vote. Nixon and Reagan rolled up almost two-thirds of that vote in 1972 and 1984. But because of abortion and aging, the white vote … Read More
A Conservative On “Rent”
By the conservative pundit, Stage Right: And then, I made the same mistake I made with most of the actresses I was foolish enough to date. I made a seemingly innocuous remark which unveiled me as insensitive, mean, unfeeling and…. a conservative!. I said: “Why are these punks spending all their time playing with their camera and guitar. They should … Read More
Washington Post Delivers News Of The Obvious
Apparently — hold on to your hats, now — some conservatives think that Obama's Administration is too liberal.
Swank-ified
Oh, how I love the columns of the Rev. Grant Swank. What will God do with Rick Warren's inaugural invocation? Isn't that the real question? Um, not really. But if you need a premise for a column, I'll let you run with it. What will God do with the prayer offered by pro-life Rick Warren, pastor? You talking to me? … Read More
The Inciteful Mind Of Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh, on why the U.S. auto industry is in trouble: But you, you just illustrated the greatest single downfall of the domestic automobile industry, and nobody is talking about it… Back in the days when I bought my first car and then my second car and my third car, and they were all General — they were Pontiacs, and … Read More
SCOTUS Rejects Obama Birth Case
First Read reports: The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to take up a case that questioned whether President-elect Obama met the Constitution's requirement that only a natural-born citizen is eligible to be president. As is the court's usual custom, the request to take up the case was denied with no explanation. I blogged about the petition here. David Horowitz is … Read More
The Jig Is Up
The Obama-isn't-a-U.S.-citizen story is still in high gear. I think it is time we face facts. This birth announcement which appeared in the Honolulu Advertiser on August 13, 1961 (Obama was born on August 4) clearly was put there by Obama's maternal grandparents, who knew full well that 47 years later, there would be an issue about Obama's citizenship when … Read More
