When last I thought of Providence Journal columnist and National Council of Editorial Writers Civility Project head Froma Harrop, it was last summer and my opinion of her sincerity, self-awareness, civility and was that she was an odious individual who should be drummed out of polite society, but she’s lucky enough to work at a […]
It’s January 2, 2012 and this hasn’t happened yet (via Watts Up With That): Originally published on Dec. 31, 2007, and still available on the web. The stupid never stops.
There are far too many regulators and there are far too many idiots who get jobs as regulators. I can’t make this up. EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration Brussels bureaucrats were ridiculed yesterday after banning drink manufacturers from claiming that water can prevent dehydration.
Rep. James Clyburn is one of the Democrats on the so-called super-committee tasked with identifying $1.2 Trillion in savings before Nov. 23. Chris Wallace interviewed him on “Fox News Sunday” this morning and viewers were treated to these whoppers. WALLACE: Well, that's a problem right there, 10 days out, that the Democrats don't have a […]
First, more Peter Schiff: Occupy Wall Street pwned And, if you’re interested in unintentional hilarity, Occupy SLO is posting their minutes online. I cannot make this stuff up.

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 […]
First, Netflix/Quikster. I wasn't as miffed as many others were when they decided to split streaming off from the DVD/Streaming combo and charge separately. Yes, the price went up, but not so much (for me) that I still didn't think it was worth the benefits I am receiving. Then they got stupid. It turns out […]
Two bits of stupidity from the mainstream media today. First MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer: Two things. First, many of you are familiar with the rule commonly stated by lawyers that Brewer violated here: Never ask a question that you don’t already know the answer to. But there’s another rule that I’ve told every aspiring journalist I’ve […]
