Obama State Dinner Story Manages Swipe at ‘Unglamorous’ Bush

Filed Under Media, Politics | Leave a Comment

This morning’s “save the planet, kill yourself” reminder comes to us from the United Nations, who, in spite of their population control rhetoric, keep breeding scam artist bureaucrats like rabbits on fertility drugs.

Todd Palin: Bum?

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

The lengths the talking-head left will go to in order to trash the Palins is laughable, for many reasons: After introducing Lopez on her CNN Headline News program last night, Behar played a clip of Lopez’s HBO special in which he said, “There are a lot of politicians that would be Latinos and a lot [...]

Filed Under Economy, Politics | 22 Comments

The next time the IRS audits you and find discrepancies in your reporting, just tell them that “accounting is an inexact science” and see how far that gets you. Somehow it’s an appropriate excuse for a crooked and/or incompetent administration: President Obama brushed off criticism over his administration’s inaccurate reporting on job creation Wednesday, telling [...]

No Virginia, Due to Pedophile Fears, There Isn’t a Santa Claus

Filed Under Business, Culture | Leave a Comment

I’m not a fan of designing our lives around the lowest common denominators — life can’t be made 100% safe no matter how hard we try — but in the super-charged litigious age we live in, I suppose this kind of over-reaction is inevitable: The U.S. Postal Service, citing security and privacy concerns of children, [...]
