Mark Steyn is without question the smartest, wittiest, conservative writer out there. As we’ve come to expect, his latest column is incredible: A president doesn’t have to be able to walk on water. But he does have to choose the right crew for the ship, especially if he’s planning on spending most of his time […]
(Hat tip: NRO Corner) From Tom Coburn’s speech on Wednesday, 4 February 2009: We are going in exactly the wrong direction. We ought to be standing on the principles that made this country great. There ought to be a review of every program in the Federal Government that is not effective, that is not efficient, […]
Michelle Malkin has the details, Holder confirmed: 75-21: Here are your 19 Bend Over Republicans who voted yes on Holder. Some disappointing names on the list in addition to the usual suspects: Alexander (R-TN) Bennett (R-UT) Bond (R-MO) Chambliss (R-Ga) Collins (R-ME) Corker (R-TN) Graham (R-SC) Grassley (R-IA) Gregg (R-NH) Hatch (R-UT) Isakson (R-GA) Kyl […]
His face had the expression which, these days, was the mark of an honest man: an expression of bewilderment. He was looking at his companion, trying hard — conscientiously, helplessly, hopelessly — to understand. His companion was younger and shorter, a small man with lumpy flesh, with a chest thrust forward and the thin points […]
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.” — Barack Obama, May 16, 2008. From today’s New York Times: The capital flew into a bit of […]
H.R. 1 leaves the House of Representatives and heads for the Senate. Now the monster moves on to the Senate. Michelle’s rundown on where we are now. If you are a citizen of Georgia, now is the time to write and call our Senators to tell them to oppose the monstrosity headed their way. They […]
The Democrats passed their $1.2 trillion Crap Sandwich, and it’s all theirs: not a single Republican voted for this disaster. Way to go, House Republicans. It’s about time! If only the Senate Republicans could do the same. Now is the time for you to start letting them know. You’re eating this one by yourself, Democrats. […]
Michelle thanks the Senate Conservatives Fund for posting a searchable version of the Senate stimulus bill Generational Theft Act. You can also read the bill here at ReadTheStimulus. They have lots of new charts on the new CBO analysis that gives you an idea of the magnitude of this fiasco. This “bill” is the biggest […]
(Hat tip: Michelle) Listen to Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe’s statement opposing Timothy Geithner’s nomination to Treasury Secretary. Earlier today, Geithner was confirmed; however, Inhofe has a good summary of why that was a mistake. There’s something rotten in Washington.
Are you aware that one Toyota car model, the Camry, outsold the entire fleet of Chryler last year? We’ve already given billions to Chrysler, and now they want more. Read Toyota model outsells Chrysler fleet: DETROIT (AP) — Even by the standards of battered automakers, Chrysler is in dire shape. Its sales in December were […]
Interesting observations on Obama’s inauguration speech by Yuval Levin writing at the Corner in The Inauguration: The most problematic parts of the speech, for me, had to do with the theme that always bothers me at such occasions: the dismissal of political differences as insignificant and petty products of irresponsibility, rather than of serious and […]
Folks, it’s going to be a long four (or, God help us eight) years because this kind of affirmative-action/race-based, politically-correct BULLSHIT is going to get awfully tiring. If you thought a black President was magically going to “heal” the “racial divide” then you are delusional and perhaps psychotic. We’ve forgotten just how damned crazy Democrats […]
Don’t miss Walter Williams’ Townhall column, Global Warming Rope-a-Dope. Williams first lists politicians and journalists who have intimidated scientists for years by calling them “immoral” for questioning the shoddy science behind anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Next, Williams reviews the statements of 650 actual scientists who recently publicly dissented AGW claims. Here’s what a few of […]
Is there anyone in the country so naive as to actually think that the UAW Goonions would concede any wages or benefits in order to save the auto companies they are bankrupting? Are you kidding! Michelle has the latest: The nation’s automakers are preparing to ask for wage and benefits concessions from their workers in […]
One of the biggest problems with liberals is that they are enemies of freedom, but in their profound ignorance, they mistakenly think that they are defenders of freedom. One great example of liberal enslavement is Obama’s promise to expand “mandatory community service.” Besides being a form of slavery, “mandatory volunteerism” is an oxymoron — a […]
This is funny. Enjoy. Good job, Mary Katharine Ham.
Do you think the economy is in recession? Or worse, are we in a depression? Before you become convinced that passing on $700 billion to Obama, Pelosi, and Reed to play Robin Hood is a good idea, read Thomas Sowell’s column, “Jolting” the Economy. Barack Obama says that we have to “jolt” the economy. That […]
Victor Davis Hanson on the new era — Post-journalism: We have seen it all the last two years: Weeping journalists on election night; a journalist openly promising to help make Obama successful (“Yeah, it is my job.”); film takes of journalists cheering an Obama speech; the savaging of Sarah Palin and the hands-off treatment of […]
Relative of the Presidential candidate who spews “we are our brother’s keeper”. Illegal alien. Living in taxpayer-financed (“public”) housing. Yep, sounds about like in an Obamanation to us. Obama’s Aunt Reportedly Living Illegally in Boston: WASHINGTON — Barack Obama’s aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in […]
