Wealth Does Not Come From the Wealth Faeries

Posted: 03 Jul 2010 12:25 PM PDT

After reading (or watching) several comments from prominent progressives over the past couple days, I’ve been asking myself if they have any idea where wealth comes from. Notice I didn’t say “money” because, really, anything that can has value and can be traded is wealth though not all of it is money (for instance, you [...]

Lindsey Graham — When Ego Gets in the Way Of History

Posted: 03 Jul 2010 10:40 AM PDT

Oh, Lindsey, Lindsey, what in the name of all that’s holy are you talking about? On four occasions, [South Carolina Senator Lindsey] Graham met with Tea Party groups. The first, in his Senate office, was "very, very contentious," he recalled. During a later meeting, in Charleston, Graham said he challenged them: " 'What do you [...]

He Had Me At “Sloth and Flatulence” (Also, Nancy Pelosi is a Weak-Kneed Coward).

Posted: 02 Jul 2010 08:08 PM PDT

I almost never quote entire blog entries. I prefer to find some good nugget, then give you the link so that you can read the whole thing in its original habitat. That’s not only good blogging, it’s also good manners. However, when I read this post on Ricochet by site co-founder Rob Long, I knew [...]

No, Thad McCotter, I Don’t Think I’ll Cheer Your Noble Sacrifice Today.

Posted: 02 Jul 2010 07:32 PM PDT

Color me underwhelmed by Thaddeus McCotter’s heroic action to fold up his own superfluous committee. McCotter chairs the House Republican Policy Committee that is supposed to develop policies for the Republicans in the House to introduce as bills. McCotter made big noise when he took over as one of the “we need to get back [...]

Old and Busted: President HopeyChangey; New Hotness: Slick Willie?

Posted: 02 Jul 2010 04:26 PM PDT

It has to be a bad day in the White House when Bill Clinton gets a bigger ovation at the Robert Byrd Memorial Service and Klan Excusapalooza than The Obamessiah. Of course, when you’ve spent 18 months turning water into vinegar and telling everyone it’s fine wine, folks tend not to cheer you all that [...]

Sorry Michael, It’s Not You, It’s…Well, No. It Really Is You.

Michael Steele: The only national committee chair to make Howard Dean look like Daniel Webster. In a speech caught on tape at a Connecticut fundraiser Thursday, National Republican Committee Chairman Michael Steele blamed the war in Afghanistan on President Obama and suggested it could not be won, leading to calls for his resignation. "This was a [...]

Sorry, Ladies. You’ll Get No Help from the Feminists on This One

Posted: 01 Jul 2010 01:36 PM PDT

In a world not stuffed to the rafters with disingenous, selfish, cynical “women’s rights” activists, we would have marches every week on the world capitals of the West demanding action against the growing plague of honor killing. In this world, the feminists of NOW and other such groups would blanket the MSM with stories of [...]

I Think I Finally Get Andrew Lloyd Webber…

Posted: 01 Jul 2010 09:49 AM PDT

For some reason, this song keeps popping into my head. I can’t explain it. Perhaps my subconscious is picking up on subtle external signs or something. I wonder if, just for a couple years, we could play this one alongside the National Anthem. It seems to be a more familiar tune these days than a [...]

On Kagan’s Nomination, I’d Like a Do-Over

Posted: 01 Jul 2010 07:53 AM PDT

I’ve been on the fence about Elena Kagan, President Obama’s newest SCOTUS nominee. On one hand, I do believe that the President should be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to nominations. You know, elections have consequences and all. On the other hand, Kagan has struck me as more than a bit [...]

More Jobs Created, Saved,or Driven to West Africa

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 01:09 PM PDT

The Obama administration’s trademark dithering is costing us dearly yet again. WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)–Executives from oil and gas companies on Monday concluded an hour-long meeting with U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar without securing promises from the government to lift a deepwater-drilling moratorium imposed after a disastrous BP PLC (BP) oil spill. The meeting included executives [...]

Why is it so Difficult for Journalists to Simply Tell the Story?

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 12:34 PM PDT

Apropos to this post of mine, I found this article at The American Spectator interesting: The Al Gore police report is disturbing. To be specific, it’s 67 pages of the quite graphically disturbing, as posted here by Red State. You are reading the news of this police report — originally filed in October of 2006 [...]

Just Remember, Vladimir Putin is Not Our Friend

Posted: 28 Jun 2010 07:43 PM PDT

Thanks to this link from Professor Reynolds we are reminded that even though the Cold War is over, Vladimir Putin does not deserve out trust. It seems that some things never change. A few moments ago, this breaking story came in from the website of the New York Times. It seems, as this early report [...]

RIP Robert Byrd

Posted: 28 Jun 2010 12:11 PM PDT

Robert Byrd, the veteran Senator from West Virginia, died early this morning at the age of 92. Byrd will go down in history for many things and I’ll let his hagiographers in the MSM tell you about all of them over the next few days. For a countervailing view you can check Cassy Fiano’s round [...]

SCOTUS: You Actually Do Have Second Amendment Rights

Posted: 28 Jun 2010 08:58 AM PDT

This is a big deal. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday extended gun rights to every state and city in the nation in a ruling involving Chicago’s 28-year-old handgun ban. By a 5-4 vote and splitting along conservative and liberal lines, the nation’s highest court extended its landmark 2008 ruling that individual Americans have a [...]

Do Conservatives Hate Journalism? No, But We Do Hate Journalists, and Rightly So.

Posted: 27 Jun 2010 07:19 PM PDT

You can probably count the times I’ve disagreed with Stacy McCain on the fingers of one hand and still have a couple fingers left to fork the Evil Eye at me. He and I are sympatico in most everything important (excepting, perhaps, on the matter of college football) but not on this post. Stacy posits [...]

The President Wants to Call the Right’s Bluff on Spending? Well, Here’s My Opening Ante.

Posted: 27 Jun 2010 06:38 PM PDT

Today, the President stepped to the mic at the G20 summit, hitched up his pants, and called out everyone who has been demanding that he do something about the ridiculous debt he’s racked up in the past year and a half or so. Somehow people say, why are you doing that, I’m not sure that’s [...]

Rahm Says We’re Righted, Jim Says We’re Back, but the Pictures Don’t Lie.

Posted: 27 Jun 2010 12:48 PM PDT

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel apparently thinks things are going just swimmingly these days, from a certain point of view (via Cuffy Meigs’ Twitter feed). "If you take a wide-lens view of the domestic and international accomplishments, he has brought America back…We have righted the ship on the crises we inherited, and laid [...]

The Delivery Presents – Chris Muir and Darryl Johnson, Guest-O-Rama!

Posted: 27 Jun 2010 10:45 AM PDT

Episode 44 is a good one. I know I’ve said that before of other episodes (because it’s true!) but if I had to put together a “best of” block of shows, this one would definitely be in the mix. Chris Muir, cartoonist extraordinaire, joins me in the top half of the show for a little [...]
