Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has privately indicated she is willing to [...]

Tweet Of The Year: “Well, I Hope You’ll Die Soon, Stupid Hater, And Bring All Your Stupid Followers With You In Hell”


Normally, I don’t bother to comment on angry tweets aimed in my direction. In fact, I generally block annoying people on Twitter. I don’t mind the fighting, but if I’m going to do it, I want to do it on my web page where it can draw an audience.
So, earlier today, I popped off a [...]

Morons At A Ground Zero Mosque Protest


The whole idea of having a mosque at Ground Zero is an abomination. It’s nothing less than an attempt by radical Muslims to celebrate the death of 3,000 Americans at the hands of Al-Qaeda while laughing at the stupidity of Americans who are willing to give them a pass in the name of political   correctness.
So, [...]

New York Times: Wouldn’t The World Be Better Off If The Human Race Went Extinct?


Peter Singer
Influential left-wing wacko, Peter Singer, who has previously argued in favor on infanticide and bestiality, has been allowed to write a column for the New York Times. In a saner world, that would make news, but there are so many lunatics, freaks, and monsters who’ve edged into the mainstream on the Left that people [...]

Matthew Yglesias: The Problem With The Economy? Too Much Fiscal Conservatism


Yes, really. That’s what he’s arguing,

Well, via Mark Thoma, the answer is that there hasn’t been any net fiscal stimulus, all the Obama administration’s efforts plus the automatic stabilizers have done is mitigate the contractionary impact of [...]

John Hawkins Vs. Robert Reich On The Stimulus


When Barack Obama was originally pushing his ginormous stimulus bill, like many conservatives, I pointed out that it wasn’t going to work.
Among other things, I noted history has shown that stimulus bills of this sort don’t get the economy moving, I pointed out that there wasn’t even that much Keynesian stimulus in the bill  —  and [...]

Empathy Liberal Style: Not Worth A Bucket Of Spit


There’s a post I first saw over at the lovely and charming Dr. Helen’s blog that has been slowly making the rounds. Here’s the story and Greg Gutfeld’s take on it,
So according to new research, today’s college students are 40 percent less empathetic than kids their age thirty years ago.
…I blame parents and teachers who let toxic [...]

Will Folks Part 2: Is He Jayson Blair Or Levi Johnston? Jayson Blair.


When shady South Carolina blogger Will Folks claimed he had an affair with SC gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley, I said we’d need a little more time to determine whether he was telling the truth,
So, here’s how I’m looking at the story. There will be some hard evidence if this happened. Nikki Haley didn’t thank him [...]

A Short Defense of … Al Gore?


I don’t know why Tipper and Al Gore have split after after 40 years of marriage and honestly, I hope we don’t find out.
The “celebrity break-up” where the former couple or their friends leak dirt to gossip rags for money and attention is one of the more sickening spectacles of the [...]
