I've noted repeatedly that embryonic stem cells -- while popular with those on the left who give no moral weight to people at the earliest stages of human development -- just don't work. Today, there comes a report about just that. A family desperate to save a child from a lethal brain disease sought highly […]
During the 2008 presidential campaign, journalist Linda Douglass made a splash by quitting her reporting job to go to work for Barack Obama. As the media business, so heavily dependent on advertising continues to crash (the stock price of the New York Times today dropped below the price of a Sunday paper), journalists are finding […]
Last week, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein confirmed news media reports that those Predator drones that are causing terrorists in the lawless Pakistan tribal regions to come down with bad cases of death are actually based in Pakistan. In a just world, this would get blabbermouth Feinstein kicked off the intelligence committee and possibly censured. Instead, […]
I'm watching President Obama speak before signing the "stimulus" bill. I'm shocked that he can say this stuff with a straight face. The bill has "no earmarks" and "none of the usual pork-barrel spending." He thinks you're stupid -- and many Americans are -- they voted for him. He continues -- he inherited a $1 […]
Chris Field is a climate "scientist" who, when his hypothesis is disproved, doubles down. "We now have data showing that from 2000 to 2007, greenhouse gas emissions increased far more rapidly than we expected, primarily because developing countries, like China and India, saw a huge surge in electric power generation, almost all of it based […]
Muzzammil Hassan, a Muslim who started Bridges TV to promote a better understanding of Muslims, was arrested last week on charges he beheaded his wife. If you haven't heard this reported on the news, then you're not alone. Granted, using Google News search results as a barometer isn't necessarily the most accurate tool for assessing […]
Comes from Jennifer Rubin at Commentary Magazine's Contentions blog: What is wrong with California? More importantly, why does Meg Whitman want to be governor? Maybe managing a successful business that sells junk is good preparation.
I have a question for people who voted for Barack Obama: When he promised a tax cut for 95 percent of Americans, did you think that the cut would amount to more or less than the $13 bucks a week you'll be seeing come June and $8 a week next year?
If you haven't already made your purchases, you'll have to go to an old-fashioned brick-and-mortar store because it's too late for Amazon. But, courtesy of Hoystory.com's huge advertising budget and Amazon.com, I present you with this freebie. This is a reminder that if you click on one of the various Amazon.com links on the site […]
The House of Representatives earlier today passed a "stimulus" plan that not a single one of them had read. The bill, totaling 1,071 pages, was finally printed at about midnight last night. The House passed it less than 24-hours later -- far less than the 48 hours they had promised to allow lapse so the […]
