Ironic stupidity

Look, I’m not a Apple fan. I’m tech-savvy enough that I can blissfully manage on hardware that may not be as elegant as what Apple produces, but is far cheaper. And, frankly, the hagiography in the media over Steve Jobs’ death is just a little over the top. However, this is funny.

Foggy Bottom, foggy thinking

Via My Pet Jawa comes this report on what the Democrat-run State Department is doing on behalf of the American people. An official from the U.S. State Department has called the Charlotte family of al-Qaida propagandist Samir Khan to offer the government's condolences on his death in a U.S. drone attack last week in Yemen, […]

Amazon links are back

For those of you who hadn’t noticed, Amazon links are back on the site. A couple weeks back California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill that acted as a ceasefire document between the state and Amazon, and Amazon has re-instated the affiliate program. Thank you to all of you who make purchases through this site. […]

Who watches the watchers?

The Miami Herald reported last weekend that Spanish-language network Univision had created a segment on a decades-old drug bust of Republican Senator Marco Rubio’s brother-in-law. In an effort to get Rubio to appear on one of their shows, Univision reportedly offered to soften or spike the story if Rubio would appear. If Rubio appeared on […]

Smart presidents

As I was doing some traveling this past weekend I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook of Candice Millard's "Destiny of the Republic," on President James A. Garfield and his assassination. Though I have not yet finished it, it is an excellent, gripping story. What prompts this comment on the book is a […]

Unfulfilled promise or lie?

Health insurance premiums are climbing, despite President Obama’s promise that if we passed his reform plan they would drop by $2,500 a year for most families. A new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation underlines that many of the promises surrounding President Obama’s health care legislation remain unfulfilled, though the White House argues that change […]

Covering for Obama

Too much of the mainstream media continues its feeble attempts to prop up President Obama’s class-warfare rhetoric with its ostensible “fact-checking.” Politifraud, which has too often been at the forefront of this effort, weighs in with this beauty, rating Obama’s claim that: "A construction worker who’s making $50 or $60 grand a year shouldn’t be […]

Evil

So, it looks like Iran is continuing its stellar human-rights record by planning on executing a Christian for apostasy. As early as this week, the British-based Christian Solidarity Worldwide reports, Iran may execute Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani for refusing to recant his Christian faith. As my colleague Paul Marshall recently wrote, evangelical Pastor Nadarkhani was sentenced […]

I made a mistake last night before I went to bed—I checked my twitter feed. What did I see, a tweet by actor Adam Baldwin (You might know him as Jayne from “Firefly”)  a rare “out” conservative in Hollywood. Had re-tweeted some comments by Sonoma State University Professor Cynthia Boaz. (Thank you Andrew Breitbart for […]

Fundamental rights

I’m not exactly one of those granola-eating, whole food type consumers. I like good-tasting food and if you had to slather the thing in Crisco, bacon and transfats to make it taste good, then that’s all right by me. It’s a free country. At least I thought it was until I came across this classic […]
