That just about describes today's New York Times editorial railing against the use of lethal injection for the death penalty. We believe that the death penalty is in all cases unconstitutional ... Because the world's hardest substance is the skull of a New York Times editorial writer. The editorial bases its constitutional argument on the […]
Courtesy of OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto, we have this hilarious story of a couple of Greenpeace enviro-wackos trying to make a point about global warming. Two U.S. explorers plan to start a four-month summer expedition to the North Pole next month to gather information on the habitat of an animal they believe could be the first […]
If this report is accurate, it's funny/sad. If it's inaccurate it's just funny. When Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad got an anonymous text message suggesting he didn't wash enough, he did not take it lying down. He fired the president of the phone company, had four people arrested, took other legal action and accused those involve […]
Saturday's Washington Post has an enlightening article on the blogospheric left -- and it's quickly apparent that Bush Derangement Syndrome is reaching epidemic proportions. The article focuses on Maryscott O'Connor of My Left Wing. I'm no psychiatrist, but O'Connor needs some serious help. The article says she's 37, but she looks 47. Oh, and like […]
When it comes to thoughtful, intelligent political analysis, San Francisco Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval isn't the man to provide it. We last saw Sandoval in February when he was advocating the complete disarmament of America's military -- except the Coast Guard -- and assured us that we could be protected by cops. He returned to last […]
The Giants juiced-up left fielder Barroid Bonds got a well-deserved, vicious welcome during Monday's season opener here in San Diego. Bonds continues to deny a mountain of evidence that shows he used a plethora of steroids and other designer drugs to bulk up and improve his home run hitting. Bonds and his (few) defenders like […]
I've written before about Great Britain's criminialization of basic self-defense. If a robber enters your house in the UK armed only with a knife and you use a gun to shoot them ... well, prepare to spend some time in prison. News came this week that almost sounds too completely insane to be true, but […]
Now that Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham is at Club Fed serving his time for corruption, the House of Representatives has two more wackos whose constituents should be ashamed for having elected them. First there was Baghdad Jim McDermott of Seattle who lost an appeals court case because he had illegally distributed an illegal tape-recording of […]
Blogress The Anchoress notes that the self-image police have apparently struck the hymnal publishing industry. Miss Kelly is distressed to find that some hymnals (including - sigh - the one in my church) features a change in the words to Amazing Grace. “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me…†Has […]
Jim Oberweis is this week's dumb politician. Well, he's not really a politician, he's an aspiring politician. And, just like other politicians try to rig the system to ensure their election whether it be by gerrymandering or campaign-finance "reform" restrictions that favor incumbents, Oberweis offered an innovative solution to his opponents in the Illinois GOP […]
