Fortunately, SMP Mike and my scheduled guests are all available tonight, so the show will take off right about 9:30 PM (a few minutes before, if you don’t mind a little mood music and host goofing [...]

No, Living Within Your Budget is Certainly Not Sexy

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 06:55 PM PDT

Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. President. Is our desire to not blow up our budget like a cement truck in a Mythbusters episode boring you? President Obama lost patience Saturday with Senate Republicans who have insisted that a $100 billion spending package be paid for so that it does not add to the deficit, accusing the [...]

Oooh! That Evil Bush Discovered Time Travel!

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 05:29 PM PDT

Nancy Pelosi’s “Blame Bush for Everything, Forever” strategy seems to have a hole or two in it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., recently blamed Bush appointees who "burrowed in" at the Minerals Management Service for the regulatory failures that led to the Deepwater Horizon disaster. But as it turns out, not one of the officials responsible [...]

The Delivery Presents – “The Return of Stimulor” is Not a Scary Movie

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 05:28 PM PDT

I almost didn’t get Episode 43 made. There was an unfortunate keyboard incident that left me without the ability to use the spacebar or type the letters V, B, or M (among others). I couldn’t well do “The Deli_ery with Ji__ie _ise”, so I had to scramble for a backup on which I could run [...]

Well, wouldn’t this make for an interesting 2011 (via allahpundit’s Twitter feed)? Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, is expected to leave his job later this year after growing tired of the “idealism” of Barack Obama’s inner circle.Washington insiders say he will quit within six to eight months in frustration at their unwillingness to [...]

The President and I Differ on the Meaning of the Word “Rest”, and Other Words.

Posted: 20 Jun 2010 02:29 PM PDT

President Obama, May 26, 2010: And let me reiterate:  We will not rest until this well is shut, the environment is repaired, and the cleanup is complete. President Obama, May 27, 2010: And I know that doesn't lessen the enormous sense of anger and frustration felt by people on the Gulf and so many Americans. Every [...]

Rule of law? Whatever on Earth is that?A federal judge in Washington has dismissed the wrongful-termination lawsuit filed by Gerald Walpin, the AmeriCorps inspector general who was fired last year by President Obama. And not just dismissed; if the decision by U.S. District Judge Richard Roberts stands, in the future the White House will [...]

Disaster by Committee is an Unmitigated Disaster

Posted: 17 Jun 2010 05:01 PM PDT

A couple days ago, one of my left-wing commenters too umbrage with my idea that the President stop treating Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen like a “fierce advocate” and start treating him like a military commander with a distinct chain of command. The commenter in question claimed that Allen wasn’t a military commander (heh) but [...]

More Aslan, More Better!

Posted: 17 Jun 2010 10:44 AM PDT

Gird your loins, Narnia fans. The trailer for the next movie in C.S. Lewis’ wonderful world is out and it looks pretty good. Off-screen are the two eldest Pevensie kids and in is a new cousin (this will be no shock to you Lewis aficionados). You won’t get any large-scale battle scenes, but there looks to [...]

Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:55 AM PDT

Were I the professional journalist who wrote this story, I would be pretty happy today. Not only did the story make the rounds of the blogosphere (start your tour with Moe Lane, I Own the World, and memeorandum) but it also could provide a bright and prosperous future for an ambitious writer. How so? Well, dig the headline [...]

Posted: 16 Jun 2010 10:21 AM PDT

All you really need to know about last night’s super-important Presidential Oval Office speech you can get from these two paragraphs: On April 20th, an explosion ripped through BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, about forty miles off the coast of Louisiana.

The Conspiracy in SC is that the Dems Didn’t Run A Campaign Either.

Posted: 15 Jun 2010 10:25 AM PDT

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the strange case of candidate Alvin Greene, the unemployed military veteran, future arrestee, and political novice who came from the backwoods of South Carolina to beat the stuffing out of Vic Rawl. Greene did no campaigning, sent out no literature, bought no lawn signs, made no phone calls, but [...]

Stay Calm Everyone! The President is On The Television Tonight!

Posted: 15 Jun 2010 09:28 AM PDT

Tonight, President Barack Obama will address the nation on the matter of the oil spill that’s threatening to utterly destroy his Presidency…oops! Did I say that? I meant to say that the oil spill is threatening to destroy the Gulf Coast for at least the next decade. I don’t know how I could have mistaken [...]
