Jersey Woman Seeks to Embrace New Levels of Fatness

March 18, 2010

First Jersey Shore, now Donna Simpson?  2010 is a bad year for Jersey, but I’m telling you, while Jersey girls have their own unique kind of baggage, they aren’t generally that bad!
Speaking of “baggage,” by now you’ve heard the buzz about Donna Simpson, that 600 lbs. woman who’s aiming to be the world’s fattest woman [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
And to all those in Congress prepared to vote for that Obama Care monstrosity in the coming days, here’s some Gaelic:  pog ma hon! (pronounced pogue ma hone)  Pog ma hone indeed.

The Astroturfing of the “Coffee Party”

March 13, 2010

I heard a little buzz a few weeks back about some people who are upset with government who want to organize to get this country moving in the right direction by breaking the gridlock in Washington and get our representatives to be more representative.
Sounds great, right?  Kind of sounds like the Tea Party Movement, but [...]

The Hurt Locker Wins Best Picture

March 8, 2010

Yesterday, Iraq had another in a series of successful parliamentary elections, moving them closer to a functioning democracy which can police itself and defend it’s territorial integrity. It’s wasn’t a perfect situation, dozens were killed in attacks on election sites, but the people seem determined to take the path of democracy.
In unrelated news, yesterday, the [...]

“The Coming Insurrection” in Greece

March 4, 2010

Last week I posted on the violence in Greece due to the first signs of the collapsing of the Bismarckian welfare state, which has been the norm in Europe for a hundred years.  The significance of this and the rest of the PIIGS in Europe is that the trends facing Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and [...]

A New Greek Oracle

February 28, 2010

The ancient Oracle of Delphi used to be a spot where ancient Greeks would go to breathe in various toxic fumes and listen to Pythia tell them about possible futures in cryptic phrases and symbols.  Well, millennia later, the Greeks still have some prophesying to do — this time on the eventual collapse of what [...]

What to do with a Bad Poll with a Great Outcome

February 26, 2010

I kind of experienced what it must be like to be a Lib today when I read that in a CNN poll, 56% of the American people believe that “the federal government poses a threat to rights of Americans.”
“But wait!” you say, “that’s not a Liberal position!”
No, but it is a poll of “adults” [...]

Tea Time for the UK!

February 26, 2010

British patriot Daniel Hannan, the hands-down best member of the EU Parliament, is speaking at a UK-style Tea Party in his home town of Brighton tomorrow!  Hannan rejects that the “Taxed Enough Already” concept over here in the States is unique to the Red White and Blue — he notes a sparse history of the [...]

The Central Falls Precedent

February 24, 2010

I lived in Rhode Island for about 24 years.  I can say without hesitation that Central Falls is one of the worst square miles one could find outside of Detroit.  One doesn’t drive through it… you find ways to drive around it!  OK, that’s a little exaggeration (nothing in the developed world is nearly as [...]

Coming Soon: “Generation Zero”

February 16, 2010

The conservative group Citizens United previewed a new documentary film for the Tea Party Convention in Nashville a few weeks ago called Generation Zero.  This documentary seeks to explain our current national mess by pointing the finger squarely at the way society and culture has been shaped by the narcissistic Boom Generation.
This is what I [...]

Phil Jones — No Significant Global Warming Since 1995

February 15, 2010

The UK Daily Mail has published this article focusing on hacked ClimateGate scientist Phil Jones’ admission that there has NOT been any statistically significant global warming since 1995!  Ouch — that’s 15 years!
Think 1995 for a second:  Newt and crew take over Congress for the first time;  Jacques Chirac becomes President of France;  the Oklahoma [...]

Happy President’s Day

February 15, 2010

Every year we take a day to pay homage to our 44 Presidents on the third Monday in February.  We used to have both Lincoln and Washington’s birthday off, but with the addition of the observance of Martin Luther King’s birthday as a federal holiday in 1983 we meshed the two birthday’s together into President’s [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2010

The ultimate Hallmark Holiday comes again this year with promises of lavish gifts and romance for young couples and (almost) guaranteed “special occasion sex” for married ones!  I’m someone who likes these cultural holidays — I still love getting an Irish-buzz for St. Patrick’s Day and dressing up for Halloween parties, along with all the [...]

Miss Him Yet?

February 10, 2010

Well, duh, of course we do!  But, this is an actual billboard paid for by a “group of small business owners and individuals who just felt like Washington was against them” up in Wyoming, Minnesota.  Those who paid for the billboard want to remain anonymous, but their sentiment is made plain:  as much as George [...]

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 [...]

Reagan’s Birthday

February 6, 2010

Ronald Reagan (February 6, 1911 — June 5, 2004) would have turned 99 today.  As a rallying point to both Conservatives and Republicans, Reagan’s legacy continues to grow as the years go by.  Many historians have had to move on from their original “amiable dunce” interpretation of Reagan to grudgingly admit or contemplate the importance [...]

The Obamaprompter Spelled “Corpsman” Correctly

February 5, 2010

But the Obama Himself, didn’t pronounce it right!
In fact, most of my 10th graders know that “corpsman” is pronounced “core-man.”  And this guy’s supposedly really smart?  Saying “57 States” is a snafu during a long campaign, but the Commander-in-Chief needs to know that while the Obamaprompter is spelling his words correctly, he still has to [...]

The Myth of the Persistent Vegetative State

February 4, 2010

I’ve always been a skeptic of the concept of the medical “Persistent Vegetative State.”  A lot of my skeptesism came from my father’s battle with brain cancer, which he ultimately lost back in 2002.  About a month before he died, my dad suffered a seizure that left him unable to breath on his own.  The [...]

Rahm’s F*&%ing Retarded Statement

February 3, 2010

The President’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used the phrase “f*&%ing retarded” during a strategy session last August, which has only recently come to light.  So, here we go — the Politically-Correct Police are on the move!
Some in the news media are making a HUGE deal about this.  So Rahm needed to get the obligatory [...]

New Study Shows Abstinence Education Works

February 2, 2010

The state-run Washington Post is now claiming that abstinence-only education works.  Kids actually have less sex when told about the truths of pregnancy and disease, even with contraception.  What I don’t see is why sane people can’t get behind something like this, and rally behind the simple truth that kids having less sex is a [...]

Tea Partying the National Tea Party Convention?

January 23, 2010

Seeing the widespread grassroots power of the amorphous Tea Party Movement it should come as no shock that some have sought to create an exclusive national leadership as an attempt to coalesce the movement around certain people, events, and message.  The catch is trying to be the first ones to do it so that your [...]

Earlier this afternoon, the New Jersey State Senate voted 20-14 (with 5 not voting and 1 vacancy) to defeat the latest gay marriage proposal.  Lame-duck Governor Jon Corzine vowed to sign it into law, while Governor-elect Chris Christie said he would veto any gay marriage bill.  Neither will get that chance now.
Here’s a few things [...]

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 [...]

Why Detroit Sucks by Steven Crowder

December 22, 2009

Thanks to soaring unemployment and crime rates, deteriorating infrastructure, and a downright embarrassing football team, simultaneously pitying and laughing at Detroit has unfortunately become a national pastime in recent years.  In his latest video feature, Steven Crowder continues that tradition and explores the misery that is Detroit and why liberalism is to blame.

It’s amazing that [...]

From my own home state of the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, a child from the town of Taunton, MA was suspended this week because he drew a Crucifix.  A second grader from Taunton drew a Crucifix as part of an assignment to draw something that reminded them of Christmas.  Now, this kid shows more theological [...]

Unions About to Destroy Lauded DC Voucher Program

December 14, 2009

I was once under the impression that once a government program was enacted it went on forever.  I was wrong!
In the $1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) spending bill which whisked through Congress this weekend, funding for the much lauded DC School Voucher program are being cut:  current students can finish their education, while new students will be [...]

Patriots Mascot Caught in Sex Sting

December 12, 2009

Apparently, not just Tiger Woods pays for sex nowadays!  As it turns out one of the guys who acts as the “Pat the Patriot” was picked up with 13 other people in an undercover sex sting in Rhode Island.
Until last November there was a loophole in Rhode Island law which allowed for prostitution… only if [...]
