Stupid CNN Comparison: Muslims to Tea Party- Welcome to our world
What a stupid comparison to make in the second paragraph here; what a ridiculous parallel to draw. Last time I checked Tea Party-affiliated groups hadn’t blown up anybody. Reports that the Internal revenue Service has been targeting Tea Party-affiliated nonprofit organizations has grabbed headlines, but should come as no surprise. In part because of ten [...]
Fort Hood Shooter Paid $278,000 While Awaiting Trial; Victims Struggle Financially
This will make your blood boil. Outside of the fact Nidal Hassan is still “awaiting trial” (what the hell is taking so long? It’s been more than three years) -which is ridiculous, he continues to be payed his Army salary because he hasn’t been proven guilty yet. Meanwhile, because the Army didn’t classify the shootings [...]
Is the IRS scandal the worst political scandal in American history?
Bookworm makes a case for it. Obama used the power of a federal agency to stifle dissent and intimidate opponents. People will say he wasn’t involved, but that’s total BS – I think he knew; he ordered it. It’s just a question of whether the proof ever sees the light of day. And, like Bookworm [...]
Big Government Loses Control – of Information
Government used to have a big advantage over average citizens: they controlled the information. Now, technology is wresting control from government, and stuff they used to keep under the covers has a way of being found out – and broadcast far and wide. What to make of the political scandals that are dominating the headlines [...]
Are Americans So Ill-Informed that They Can’t Be Trusted to Keep the Republic?
Ben Franklin once famously replied to a question about what sort of government he and his fellow representatives had just given us in Philadelphia: A republic, if you can keep it. Thomas Jefferson said that the electorate needed to be well-informed to be trusted with their government. As one of the figures that was responsible [...]
Dan Snyder’s Response to Redskin Name Change Push: NEVER
I don’t pay much attention to anything Daniel Snyder does or says, but this caught my attention. Some folks are pushing to have the Redskins change their name to something less “offensive,” like “Redtails.” As long as he’s owner, I don’t think it’s going to happen. Bravo, Dan Snyder, for not caving to politically correct [...]
Damning Dozen: Yesterday’s Benghazi Revelations
Guy Benson from Townhall.com has compiled a list of the 12 most damning revelations from yesterday’s hearing. There’s a good chance you didn’t hear much of this because the lamestream media was focusing on Jodi Arias (whoever the hell she is) and the Cleveland thing (newsworthy, but hardly more important than our current administration’s blatant [...]
The Wreckovery Continues: U.S. Disability Beneficiaries Exceed Population of Greece
Yessir, it’s definitely lookin’ up out there. Heck, the unemployment rate is all the way down to 7.5%! There really seems to be a tidal wave of people acquiring “disabilities.” I wonder if there’s a correlation in the increase in the number of disability claims to the number of people running out of 99 weeks [...]
With Obamacare Trainwreck on the Horizon, Dems are Suddenly Concerned
They express their dismay that information is coming out way too soon, and folks won’t have enough details to make an informed -or any- decision. What they’re really worried about is the backlash that will hit the Dem-controlled Senate when people find out their premiums are going to skyrocket (see Dem Senator Wyden’s comments at [...]
It’s Okay, It’s Somebody Else’s Money: Pelosi Spends $100K+ for In-flight Services in Just Two Years.
Must be nice to have other people’s money at your disposal. Pelosi, who is richer than 98% of the population, obviously thinks it’s okay to use the taxpayer’s money to indulge in all kinds of fancy in-flight services while she flies all over the world with the Air Force (she’s too good for commercial air [...]
Official: We knew Benghazi was a terrorist attack “from the get-go”
Just like we thought back in October; they lied just long enough to get Obama past the election. Question is now – will anybody pay? My guess is some low-level stooge will take the hit, and Obama and Hillary will get off scott free. CBS News “Everybody in the mission” in Benghazi, Libya, thought the [...]
Liberty Univ. Offers Scholarship to Eagle Scout Facing Gun Charges
Good for Liberty. This kid got a raw deal for trying to do the right thing, again demonstrating the complete ignorance of common sense exercised by school administrators. When he was overheard telling his mother to come and take home the unloaded shotgun he accidentally left in his truck (because he knew he wasn’t supposed [...]

Would You Have Your Company’s Logo Tattooed on Your Body for a 15% Raise?
Looks like some people are willing to do just that. With no restrictions on size, or where you place it, I might be persuaded to get it in some unseen place. Would you do it? If your company offered you a pay raise to tattoo its logo on your body, would you do it? A [...]
Obamacare is Going to Shock a Lot of People…
Especially the 42% of Americans who don’t even realize that it’s an actual law yet. This is going to be a financially devastating event for many people. I’m guessing millions of people will just refuse to comply simply because they can’t possibly afford it (even with the government subsidies). It will then fall on whichever [...]
42 Percent of Americans Don’t Think Obamacare Is Law
We could only wish this were so. I believe Mr. Geraghty’s first statement is, if not already so, quickly approaching truth. It is entirely possible that we have a public so spectacularly ill-informed, we are no longer capable of governing themselves. Here’s an April tracking poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation: “Four in ten Americans [...]
Zero Tolerance Patrol: Boy Suspended from School for Bringing Tiny Knife on Camping Trip
It seems there is no longer any common sense; only strict adherence to an inflexible set of idiotic rules. A 10-year-old California boy was suspended and threatened with expulsion after he brought a Swiss Army Knife on a week-long school school camping trip. Tony Bandermann told Fox News that his son Braden was on a [...]
Extra Deliciousness: Twinkies Return, Hostess Unions Won’t
Good. The bankrupt assets of Hostess Brands, Inc., the company responsible for Twinkies, Ho Ho’s, Sno Balls and Ding Dongs, are being put back to work by a buyout firm. What’s not being put back to work are the former Hostess unionized employees. The unionized workers had been on strike when the company folded late [...]
Too Bad We All Can’t Exempt Ourselves from Obamacare
That’s what Congress is busy trying to do – find a way to exempt (or lessen the impact, or whatever they want to call it) for themselves and/or their aides. Gee, isn’t it swell for them that they can even consider this option. The rest of us poor saps are stuck with it. Here’s an [...]
George W. Bush is Smarter Than You
Keith Hennessey is a lecturer who teaches Economics in Government at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. He also served as the senior economic advisor to George W. Bush for 5+ years, so he’s spent a lot of time with him. He’s a pretty smart guy, by almost anyone’s reckoning. His conclusion -that he shared here [...]
Bombing Suspects’ Mom: Blood was ‘Paint’
There is something seriously wrong with the way these people think. The mother of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing says she believes the tragedy that killed three people and injured dozens more was staged, that the bombing was fake. “That’s what I want to know, because everybody’s talking about it — that [...]
Bloomberg Says Interpretation of Constitution Will ‘Have to Change’ After Boston Bombing
Thanks for letting us benighted knuckledraggers know the opinion of an enlightened elite like yourself, Mayor Doomberg. No thanks; I think we’ll keep the Constitution -in particular the 2nd Amendment- just like it is. Ben Franklin said it best: They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor [...]
