Nigel Farage Lambasts EU President

February 27, 2010

The European Union can be a little shady as a Democratic institution sometimes.  It elected its first President in a back room deal and nations are forced to cede their sovereignty away without a referendum despite being promised one by their leaders.  Basically, decisions are often made with little or no regard for the views [...]

Government Is as Government Does

February 26, 2010

Nine-year old Kate Harding of Worcestershire, UK was probably excited after digging in her backyard garden back in 1996.  Sure it wasn’t worth much, but it isn’t everyday a little girl finds a 700 year old “coin” depicting the 1322 ascension of King Charles IV to the French throne.  Not a bad haul for that [...]

Republican chances in the 2010 Senate elections look better every day and today is no exception.  The Washington Post is reporting that Evan Bayh is about to announce that he will not seek re-election later this year.

February 14, 2010

Tonight is the season premier of the Amazing Race.  And with Big Brother’s Jeff and Jordan among the contestants, this season has potential.  Maybe they’ll “Forrest Gump” their way to the end.  Maybe they’ll crash and burn.  Either way, it could be entertaining.  I’ll be liveblogging the episode.  Feel free to join in.

Senate Blocks Nomination of SEIU Thug Craig Becker

February 9, 2010

What a difference having a Republican in Ted Kennedy’s seat makes.  Earlier today the Senate blocked Barack Obama’s nomination of Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board.  Despite mainstream media headlines to the contrary, Republicans were not alone on this one.  The good news of defeating an SEIU thug cannot be overstated, but I’m [...]

NOW Aborts Its Sense of Reality Over Tebow Ad

February 8, 2010

The willingness of liberals to look you in the eye and tell you “night is day” can be astounding.  Take the National Association for Gals (Rush’s term) response to the pro-life ad featuring Tim Tebow that ran during yesterday’s Super Bowl.  Apparently we pro-lifers are too stupid to notice that the ad was really a [...]

Scandal! Sarah Palin Used Notes While Delivering Speech to Tea Party Convention!

February 7, 2010

The rank hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze me.  At this very moment, the liberal blogosphere is salivating over the fact that Sarah Palin had a few bullet-point notes written on her hand while she delivered her speech to the National Tea Party Convention.  Of course these same liberals rarely utter a peep [...]

Be sure to thank the people of Massachusetts for pushing the proverbial snowball down the hill when they elected Scott Brown to Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat and showed Republicans across the country that this was the year to run for office if you wanted to win an election.  Thanks to the Democrats’ unpopular liberal agenda [...]

January 29, 2010

The country received some excellent news today when it was announced the that the economy grew at a rate of 5.7 percent during the fourth quarter of 2009.  Of course we still have to wait to see what the adjusted numbers show because the initial release doesn’t always get it exactly right and this administration [...]

So That’s Why All BBC Stories Sound Alike

January 28, 2010

Here’s a video by Charlie Brooker that looks and sounds like every BBC news story you’ve ever seen.  If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that it’s actually a tutorial on how to make a BBC-style news story.  The only thing missing is the obligatory soundbite from some American left-wing nutjob that British media liberals [...]

Spendaholic President to Propose “Spending Freeze”

January 26, 2010

President Obama is planning to announce a three year freeze in discretionary spending at the upcoming State of the Union.  The President’s supporters and the mainstream media (Department of Redundancy Department I know) will undoubtedly fawn over the proposal as a return to fiscal responsibility.  They won’t tell the entire story though.  Like so many [...]

Air America Signs Off. Loses Zero Listeners

January 21, 2010

It looks an updating of philosophy textbooks is in order because Ace of Spades just answered an age-old mystery.  As it turns out, a tree that falls in the middle forest does make a sound even if there is no one there to hear it.  How else would they have learned that Air America is [...]

Gaspar Llamazares Wants You to Know That He Is Not Bin Laden

January 16, 2010

It looks like Spanish Communist politician Gaspar Llamazares pissed off someone at the FBI.  As you may recall, the FBI released some age-enhanced photos last week to show the world what the terrorist may look like today.  Unfortunately, the FBI wasn’t satisfied with the finished product.  So rather than just going back to the drawing [...]

Come On Ride the Subway

January 15, 2010

The New York Post is reporting that its much easier to ride the New York City subway as of late because job losses during 2009 has caused a decline in the number of people riding public transit.  That’s probably part of the reason.  But as Sweetness & Light points out, the economic downturn can’t be [...]

Palate Cleansers? Not a Bad Idea. Cheers!

January 15, 2010

The Anchoress currently features some of the best coverage of the Haiti earthquake you’ll find anywhere.  With all that depressing news, it’s understandable that she would also sprinkle her blog with a series “palate cleansers” to lift our spirits.  The entertainment she chose is a series oof television theme shows from the 1970s.  Not a [...]

Martha Coakley: Practicing Catholics “Shouldn’t Work in an Emergency Room”

January 15, 2010

I told myself I wasn’t going to post anything on the Massachusetts Senate race today.  Yet somehow, Martha Coakley continues to step in it.  Today’s gaffe occurred after Princess was asked whether health care legislation should include a conscience clause to protect  health care workers opposed to abortion on religious grounds.  Coakley responded that “[y]ou [...]

Corrupt Media Desperately Tries to Save Coakley

January 13, 2010

The most obvious enemy to modern conservatism is the Democrat Party because that is the structure liberals use to win enough elections to pass and implement policies that control the lives of productive citizens and in the process undermine American strength and prosperity.  The surprisingly competitive Massachusetts Senate election shows just how important party is [...]

Rasmussen Reports: Scott Brown Within Two

January 12, 2010

Many liberal and conservative blogs love to cherry-pick polls favorable to the candidates they’re rooting for, but I’m proud of the fact that we aren’t one of them.  This website has always recognized reputable organizations such as Rasmussen, Mason-Dixon (the best pollster at the state level) and IBD-TIPP and disregarded the trash.  In following this [...]

Put Mike Bloomberg’s Anti-Salt Campaign on Ice

January 11, 2010

Michael Bloomberg’s administration is once again sticking its nose into New Yorkers’ private lives, this time kicking off a public campaign to encourage people to cut back on salt.  Unlike Bloomberg’s previous food nazi initiatives, this one is voluntary.  There will be no fines for eating those tasty Belgian fries in the East Village, so [...]

James Carville Has Nothing to be Afraid of

January 9, 2010

The debate on the use of full body scanners at airports to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks has heated up since the attempted terrorist attack over Detroit on Christmas.  As the discussion continues, I think its important for those who make routine media appearances to accurately describe what we’re debating so the American people [...]

We Never Even Call It By Its Name (Steven Crowder on Islamic Terrorism)

January 8, 2010

Many have rightly criticized the TSA’s nonsensical response to the attempted terrorist attack over Detroit on Christmas Day while others have outlined a set of proposals that would actually address the problems in the system.  So why hasn’t the government done acted logically?  One of the reasons can be found in Steven Crowder’s latest video.  [...]

John Stossel Asks: Who Is Wesley Mouch?

January 6, 2010

I was just a teenager the last time a Democrat won the White House.  Although I knew where I generally stood on the issues (i.e. pro-life, lower taxes, strong national defense, anti-welfare) I didn’t know that I was what we call “conservative” until I saw Rush Limbaugh on the television making sense on a daily [...]
