Whoa! This Changes Everything! Gary Busey Withdraws Endorsement of Newt
I didn’t have an effective way to indicate the sarcasm in the headline, but that’s what it was. This news item from The Hill generated it: Actor Gary Busey is withdrawing his endorsement of Newt Gingrich for president. “It is not time for me to be endorsing anyone at this time! When there are the two [...]
Herman Cain’s Latest Accuser ALSO Has a Sketchy Background; Still No Proof of Any Wrongdoing
But then, when does proof have anything to do with it? The Obama-protecting state-run media has nearly accomplished its mission: with all the as-yet unproven allegations of sexual harrassment piling up, it looks like Herman Cain’s campaign may be relegated to the scrapheap of presidential primary history. Stacy McCain has a piece about the business [...]
Another Awesome Speech by Nigel Farage
As Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge says, “watch Nigel Farage dance on the Euro’s grave.” This is the third speech by this guy that I’ve posted. He’s on fire with righteous indignation at the ridiculous shenanigans of a bunch of unelected bureaucrats, and he unloads -again- on them.
Ah, Politicians: Plus Ca Change, Plus C’est La Meme Chose…
If you’re not familiar with that French expression, it means “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” And, in Washington, in the hallowed halls of our “representative” government, they stay the same. Despite promise of change, politicians -of both parties- just don’t seem to get it. They revert to the same behaviors [...]
Kinky Friedman: Rick Perry’s Got My Vote
A self-proclaimed “Jewish Cowboy” who once ran against Perry for Governor of Texas, Kinky Friedman has some good things to say about Rick Perry and what sort of job he would do as President. These days, of course, I would support Charlie Sheen over Obama. Obama has done for the economy what pantyhose did for [...]
Thank Goodness – Something Besides Politics to Worry About
For the rest of the week it looks like we’ll be tracking the progress of Hurricane Irene. That’ll give us a chance to ignore lots of other stuff, like the Obama’s vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. Yeah, that won’t happen entirely, but Irene will suck up some of the air for news organizations. “A look at [...]
Tim Pawlenty is First Casualty of Iowa Straw Poll
Yesterday, I wrote a brief post about the results of the Iowa Straw Poll in which Michele Bachmann beat Ron Paul by a small margin, and Tim Pawlenty came in a distant third, with less than half the votes of the top finishers. I mentioned that I didn’t really know what it meant for the [...]
Al Sharpton, Professional TV Talker Guy
Al Sharpton, attempting to bloviate on the Democrats’ failed attempt to wrest control of the Wisconsin Senate from Scott Walker’s minions. Enjoy (H/T The Other McCain)
Interesting Stuff
Good stuff I saw this morning: Popehat: Caylee Anthony’s Useful Idiots Reason: Global Temperature Trend Update for July 2011 – I found this interesting because of the comments section. No analysis was presented with this information, and defenders of both sides of the AGW argument proceeded to stand on soapboxes and shout at the other [...]
Barack Obama, Turncoat.
Bill Whittle explains how Barack Obama (*DfOaLG) has been busy since his immaculation destroying trust with our allies and trying to gain concessions with our enemies. His comments are based in part on the material in Victor Davis Hanson’s short book How The Obama Administration Threatens Our National Security (it’s only 48 pages, and available [...]
Mitch Daniels Will NOT Run for President. Herman Cain, Anyone?
Mitch Daniels announced late last night that he will not run for President, citing concerns about the effects of a campaign on his family. From Politico: Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels told supporters in an email early Sunday that he will not run for president in 2012, a decision he said ultimately came down to his [...]
Watch the SOTU Address? No. And It’s Not Because of Obama
I posted something about the State of the Union address the other day, and one of my friends on Facebook asked if I’d be watching. I didn’t answer there, but this is my reply. No, I don’t intend to watch it. I’m definitely not a fan of President Obama (*DfOaLG), or any of his policies, [...]
Herman Cain: We Need a People’s President
Last week Herman Cain, former CEO of the Godfather’s Pizza chain, announced he had formed an exploratory committee to investigate the possiblity of running for president in 2012. In the Daily Caller the other day, he wrote an editorial explaining some of the reasons why he’s considering a run for president, and why he believes [...]

Why the [latest tragedy] Means We Must Support My Politics
Image via Wikipedia This is excellent. Saw a link to it on Popehat. It’s posted on Boing Boing. It’s an essay written after 9/11, mocking those that try to use tragedies as leverage to gain political capital. It is, like they say, classic – you could just save this and use it at the occasion [...]
