This is perhaps the best story of the year, courtesy the fine people of Jericho, Ark. It was just too much, having to return to court twice on the same day to contest yet another traffic ticket, and Fire Chief Don Payne didn't hesitate to tell the judge what he thought of the police and […]

National Review’s Mark Hemingway went to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s town hall and has an amusing report on the experience. I especially liked this bit: When one woman on Social Security disability, and obviously sympathetic to the Democrats' proposed reforms, explained that she had to drop her $400-a-month health insurance, Steny Hoyer (D-Math) explained […]

Can you just imagine Karl Rove or Andy Card saying this before a gathering of Republicans about Democrats in general and still having his job? Can you imagine the delight with which the mainstream media would replay this video over and over – probably not bleeping out the expletive? Yet, Obama’s “Green Jobs” Czar still […]

I caught about 90 seconds of “The O’Reilly Factor” this evening with radio talk show host Laura Ingraham sitting in for the Irishman. Pollster Scott Rasmussen was on explaining that his tracking polls are showing that President Obama has lost not Democrats (he’s still got them), not Republicans (he never had them), but unaffiliated voters. […]

I just got finished watching the National Geographic channel’s “9/11: Science and Conspiracy” special. Personally, I enjoyed the Popular Mechanics special more, but the Nat Geo show wasn’t so much about the science of the 9/11 attacks as it was the reaction of “truthers” to evidence that undermines their theories. If it wasn’t obvious by […]

Sen. Ted Kennedy died earlier this week after serving for 47 years in his family’s apparently hereditary Senate seat. Normally, I subscribe to the admonition to not speak ill of the dead, which is why this blog made no note of Kennedy’s passing earlier. However, sometimes people write things so jaw-droppingly outrageous that I am […]

The Twitter feed in the sidebar isn't updating, but I've been tweeting from a Town Hall in SLO. The crowd is about 70-30 anti-Obamacare. But unlike what you see on YouTube the debate is very respectful. Maybe that's because the Congresscritter isn't here to catch flak.

Over the last few days, the mainstream media, the talking-head shows on cable news, the left side of the blogosphere and the Obama Justice Department have been going ape over a 5-year-old CIA inspector general’s report that outlined some of the outrageous lengths CIA interrogators went to to try and get information to save American […]

President Obama appeared before some religious leaders yesterday and apparently turned in a performance that, had it been done by former President George W. Bush, would’ve sent the left into paroxysms of “theocrat” and “Christianist.” Repeatedly invoking the Bible, President Obama yesterday told religious leaders that health-care critics are "bearing false witness" against his plan. […]

MSNBC wanted to use one of the recent town halls as a jumping off point to paint Obamacare protesters, as Janeane Garafalo puts it, people who “hate that a black man is president.” Take a look at the first part of the video – you don’t need to watch the roundtable discussion. Notice anything odd […]
