I Voted For John McCain And All I Got Was this Stupid Internet Surveillance Program

Posted: 07 Jul 2010 05:37 PM PDT

They told me if I voted for John McCain, the government would ramp up its monitoring of the Internet and they were right*! The U.S. government is launching an expansive program dubbed “Perfect Citizen” to detect cyber assaults on private U.S. companies and government agencies running critical infrastructure such as the electricity grid and nuclear [...]

Look Out, Eric! The Bus is Coming!

Posted: 07 Jul 2010 12:04 PM PDT

This is not a paragraph to inspire confidence. The White House has said the decision to challenge Arizona’s immigration law was out of its hands, left completely up to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and the lawyers at the Justice Department. If the White House had any real confidence in its case, do you [...]

Too Often, Consensus Means Rubbish

Posted: 05 Jul 2010 07:51 PM PDT

Among the shibboleths of the left, there is none greater than “consensus”. Like Tolkien’s One Ring, it binds the left together with smooth promises of easy decisions gained by wielding the power of experts but in the end leaves them betrayed and bitter. We’ve seen this happen in the global warming debate where the “consensus” [...]

This is No Good, No Smurfing Good At All.

Posted: 05 Jul 2010 10:12 AM PDT

Hollywood, I’m warning you. Don’t you do this. Don’t you dare do this. I realize I can’t stop you from releasing this theatrical assault on the childhoods of millions of good Americans, this Gulf Oil Spill of cultural ruination you are about to visit on the pelicans and little baby turtles that we call our [...]

Look, A New New Media Wonder!

Posted: 05 Jul 2010 09:31 AM PDT

My friend Duane Lester was tapped by the Dr. Dan Benishek campaign to put together an ad. It’s Duane’s first, but I think he did a pretty good job of it. Beneshek is running for the House in MI-1, which is an open seat now that Bart Stupak, who torpedoed his own chance for re-election, [...]

A Little Light Reading on America’s 234th Birthday

Posted: 04 Jul 2010 10:59 AM PDT

In lieu of a longish Independence Day recounting of what this country means to me (short version: She’s holding up pretty darned well for 234 years old), I’ll share a few tributes others have written. Ed Morrissey on “1300 Words that Shook the World”. Michelle Malkin quotes the Declaration of Independence. Obi’s Sister rolls out [...]

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 [...]

The Delivery Presents – Books and Blogs with Melissa and Malcolm

Posted: 30 Jun 2010 01:04 PM PDT

Episode 45 is in the can and you’ll want to hear this one if you have ever a sliver of a geek bone in your body. A couple of months ago, Melissa Clouthier was on the show and broached the idea of doing a regular Book Club show. She suggested Terry Pratchett’s Guards! Guards! and [...]
