Chief Justice John Roberts had a "benign ideopathic seizure" today -- whatever that is. And of course the nutroots goes from straight into hoping for his death. Patterico points to supposedly kinda mainstream "Wonkette." Chief Justice John Roberts has died in his summer home in Maine. No, not really, but we know you have your […]
The University of Colorado Board of Regents finally got around to firing the idiotic, evil, moronic, hack professor Ward "Little Eichmanns" Churchill. Churchill's despicable essay that likened the people working in the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, to Nazi Holocaust engineer Adolf Eichmann was what prompted an investigation into Churchill's scholarship. That should be […]
Courtesy of Don Surber we have this gem from Sen. John Kerry on how nothing bad happened to anyone after we abandoned South Vietnam to the communist North. Everybody predicted a massive bloodbath in Vietnam. There was not a massive bloodbath in Vietnam. There were reeducation camps and they weren't [inaudible] and nobody likes that […]
A Florida farmer is paying more than $200,000 because he was paying his American citizen workers less than his foreign-born employees. Kenneth Hyatt, today's Idiot of the Day.

Those of you who follow Porkbusters and those issues will find the story interesting because it appears that the Democrat-led Senate is trying to outsource its rules to the House.

I wish I knew the name of the color commentator ESPN had doing the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, because the man is a Grade A, World Class moron. Just about every color commentator in every sport suffers from logorrhea. Heck, it's practically a job requirement. They compare the starting running back for the whatever […]
A Philadelphia cop got a lot too full of himself and a deputy district attorney failed an inteligence test when they arrested and then charged, respectively, Anthony Riley with singing in a public park. Riley, 20, had faced a three month sentence after loudly singing "A Change is Gonna Come" in Rittenhouse Square in downtown […]
As of the writing of this blog post, Michael Moore's "crockumentary" SiCKO has a 91 percent positive rating over at RottenTomatoes.com. I'm not going to fatten Moore's wallet, because there's been more than enough actual reporting (as opposed to movie reviews) that exposes the film as fatally flawed. All of this means that it will […]
In an opinion piece in Saturday's Washington Post, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon identifies the root of the genocide taking place in Darfur. Almost invariably, we discuss Darfur in a convenient military and political shorthand -- an ethnic conflict pitting Arab militias against black rebels and farmers. Look to its roots, though, and you […]
