I’m glad that the candidate for my district, Nathan Tabor, claims an interest in women’s health: You may not realize it, but eight women around the world have died after taking the abortion drug RU-486. …While eight fatalities may sound like a low death count, the toll could climb significantly. More than 800 women have experienced potentially life-threatening complications after … Read More
Islamophobia-phobia Irony
I note, with extreme amusement, that conservative columnists Michelle Malkin and Tony Blankley are pissed off at the right wing for the "repulisive mentality" in automatically branding people opposed to the DPW deal as "Islamophobes". I’m glad to see that they are beginning to understand what it’s like on the other end of an Administration (and its supporters) who reduce … Read More
Another Conservative Admits The Truth
This time, it’s none other than Bill Buckley: One can’t doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed. The same edition of the paper quotes a fellow of the American Enterprise Institute. Mr. Reuel Marc Gerecht backed the American intervention. He now speaks of the bombing of the especially sacred Shiite mosque in Samara and what that has precipitated … Read More
Another Visit With Kaye Grogan
We had hoped that Kaye would write this week about the Dubai deal, but it seems that she’s back to her old themes. That’s okay. We’re flexible. You know what? What? I wouldn’t cry one single tear if every abortion clinic in the world was shut down. Imagine our surprise. But I can tell you that I have probably cried … Read More
The Results Are In
Conservative blogger (and Penn U. cultural studies professor) Michael Berube constantly rails against supposed "liberal bias" on college campuses. Here’s his post from yesterday, for example. Conservative online mag Frontpagemag.com picks up Michael Berube’s meme, and asks readers to vote for the "worst professor in America". Berube has encouraged his blog readers to vote. Here are the top five results … Read More
Hack Gets Hacked
Michelle Malkin posted the cartoons that offended Muslims throughout Europe, and went on Fox News to show them. Her site is now down. Apparently the source of the denial-of-service hack is from Turkey. I’m not sure what Malkin was trying to prove by publishing the cartoons. And while I don’t condone digitial sabotage, I have the distinct feeling that Michelle … Read More
Ann Coulter Makes It So
Even though I mentioned the Ann Coulter voting fraud story two days ago, it’s worth bringing up again for a cute addendum. The story, in a nutshell, is that last week Ann Coulter voted in a Palm County precinct in which she did not live. The address on her registration wasn’t her home address, but that of her realtor. (We … Read More
Run That By Me Again?
Feminist-obsessed, UNC-Wilmington criminology professor "Dr." Mike Adams, writing at conservative Townhall: The liberal reaction to Cheney’s accident may vary slightly from liberal to liberal but there is one common characteristic; namely, these liberals feel morally superior because they’ve never shot someone on a hunting trip. Actually, he’s right. I do feel somewhat morally superior for, you know, never having shot … Read More
Why Sometimes We Should Throw Podhoretz Away
Man, are these guys stupid. Here’s John Podhoretz, at the NRO’s Corner: WHY SOMETIMES THEY SHOULD THROW POLL RESULTS AWAY New Gallup poll, not kidding, says on the one hand that 52 percent of those polled believe things are going well in the country, and on the other hand that 59 percent say the country is going in the wrong … Read More
The Felonious Ann Coulter
Heh: Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections records show Coulter voted last week in Palm Beach’s council election. Problem is: She cast her ballot in a precinct 4 miles north of the precinct where she owns a home — and that could be a big no-no. Coulter, who owns a $1.8 million crib on Seabreeze Avenue, should have voted in … Read More
The Cult Of Bush
Glenn Greenwald has written the seminal post on the "Cult Of Bush", and everybody is talking about it: "The blind faith placed in the Federal Government, and particularly in our Commander-in-Chief, by the contemporary "conservative" is the very opposite of all that which conservatism has stood for for the last four decades. The anti-government ethos espoused by Barry Goldwater and … Read More
Guess What? Kaye Grogan Is Angry
Today, it’s at ABC . . . I think. Shame on the Super Bowl coordinators for lining up several notables to be recognized just before the National Anthem Sunday, but failing to mention our troops for a job well done. The troops are done? Cool. By the way, Kaye, the National Anthem? Kind of a tribute to war. Just sayin’…. … Read More
Malkin’s Priorities
Michelle Malkin: When it comes to speaking and writing on unpleasant matters, I learned a long time ago to stop apologizing. It is a waste of my breath, time, and energy to precede every political discussion with "I’m not saying all [X] are [Y]." Or: "Of course, I don’t hate all [Z] and please don’t misunderstand me, blah, blah, blah." … Read More
What Earwax And Body Odor Tell Us About American History
Conservative columnist Debbie Schlussel is serious: Today’s New York Times details a Japanese scientific on earwax and body odor in Asians vs. Europeans and Africans. There is actually an "earwax gene" in DNA that determines this. But the paper glosses over the most important finding. The study found that Europeans and Africans tend to have wet ear wax, sweat more, … Read More
Wanker Of The Week
Conservative columnist and pundit Ann Coulter: "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens’ creme brulee," Coulter said. Wha?!? Then Coulter added: "That’s just a joke, for you in the media." A joke. Oh, I get it!! Hahahahaha!!!! Murdering a Supreme Court judge! That’s hysterical!!!! Hahahahahaha! And it’s funny because it’s sooooo true! Yup. The no-longer-crack-addicted* and irony-impaired … Read More
