The Iron Pyrite State

California's Democrat-run state legislature and its girly-man Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger have outlined a plan to deal with the states $42-billion budget gap by sticking it to the few people who remain in the state. Vehicle license fees would nearly double, going from the current rate of 0.65% to 1.15% of the value of a car […]

Let me explain the terminology

New York Times columnist Nick Kristof was interviewed by The Daily Pennsylvanian and made the following observation about what it's like to live under the enlightened leadership of the great Obama. DP: Are there any issues you would like to see Barack Obama's presidency focus on? NK: It's a tremendous relief to have smart, intellectually […]

Big Brother does it for your own good

First, Oregon proposed tracking drivers using GPS in order to levy a tax for roads, bridges and other assorted infrastructure. Now, Massachusetts is proposing a very similar plan that would embed a tracking chip inside the registration sticker of cars registered in that state. In case you missed it, Big Brother is a liberal and […]

Isn't she clever?

I got done listening to NPR's Intelligence Squared U.S. debate podcast on the motion: "Major Reductions in Carbon Emissions Are Not Worth the Money" on the drive home from work. The debate featured Bjorn Lomborg, author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist" as one of three  people arguing for the motion. The debate was very interesting. To […]

Thunder Below!

Last year, Adm. Eugene Fluckey died at the ripe old age of 93. Upon reading his obituary, I bought his book where he recounts his service commanding the USS Barb submarine in World War II. I finally got around to reading it the past few days, and despite what some may think, Fluckey's matter-of-fact recounting […]

Quasi live-blogging the press conference

I'm getting really sick and tired of the "create or save jobs" phrasing. It's meaningless, yet no one calls on it. The guy still thinks he's a senator. Was that a eight minute answer to a not so complicated question? You don't filibuster a press conference. Don't even bother raising your hands reporters, Obama's got […]

What's wrong with the mother country?

Here's hoping that we don't follow Great Britain down whatever road it's heading down, because it doesn't look like that society is going to survive a whole lot longer. First, a foster mother has been fired for allowing a 16-year-old girl in her care to convert to Christianity. The carer is a single mother of […]

Hollywood "morality"

Partial-birth abortion supporter Ashley Judd is proving that she's as ugly on the inside as she is physically attractive on the outside. Judd, a big-time liberal, has joined with the "Defenders of (some kinds of) Wildlife" to attack Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for that state's wolf-control program. Missing from the video, of course, is context. […]

Journalistic ethics

The folks over at Brent Bozell's Media Research Center are up in arms over what at first glance is a pretty harmless story about a bunch of old friends that appeared over at Politico. The conversations don’t begin with hello. They don’t end with goodbye. Most often they pick up with a low, drawling voice […]

Partisan, not principled

This is probably old news for most of you who follow the blogosphere closely, but I've had these articles taking up valuable space in my browser and I've been meaning to point this out for a week. Human Rights Watch is not a human rights organization. It is a Democrat advocacy group that only cares […]
