A day of infamy
May 25, 2010 | 1 Comment
Last week, President Calderone of Mexico spoke before a joint session of Congress, and did what any foreign dignitary, asked to speak before a joint session of the Congress or Parliament of the host country would do – he criticized a law passed by a sovereign state of said country. And Democrats (and maybe even [...]

Towards the end of the video linked to in my previous post, immediately after the dutiful border guard proudly boasts – in a completely unscripted moment, natch – that John McCain is “one of us,” Senator McCain glances into the camera and gives what I guess is supposed to be an “Aw yeah, hear that [...]

The world’s silliest argument
September 17, 2009 | 4 Comments
Ken Rosenthal has a rather silly article on Fox Sports.com. (H/t: Amazin Avenue) In making the justifiable case for Joe Mauer to be the MVP, Rosenthal gets all snarky with the sabermetric community. It’s the usual tired cliches – bloggers living in their parent’s basement, mocking statistical measurements that the author doesn’t understand, fluff about [...]

Final Thoughts on Civility
September 14, 2009 | 5 Comments
A funny picture from the Tea Party rally on Saturday, via Twitter. Ahh, but clearly that person is a liar. You see, it’s all about racism, at least according to some who were not so enamored of the Tea Partiers. “It’ s not conducive to the coalitions we need to build in this country,” said [...]

A society without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation. – Edmund Burke Kicking me out of the NWO? I’m kicking you out of the NWO. – Randy Savage Well it wouldn’t be a week in the conservosphere without a bunch of navel gazing posts about the future of the [...]

Masterpiece

I love getting comments. I especially love getting comments on posts written several months earlier, because they never fail to be entertaining. For those of you who missed it, let me share with you the comment I received on my April 15 post on the ten worst Supreme Court decisions of all time. Let me [...]

Our stupid president
July 23, 2009 | 12 Comments
Our president is a radical ideologue bent on completely destroying the fabric of our country. But he is also a complete jerk who has no qualms about shooting his mouth off without knowing all the facts. As you all probably know by now, President Obama declared last night in his propaganda hour press conference – [...]

Jay Anderson must have shopped at Costco
July 17, 2009 | 1 Comment
Because that’s the only place that he could have gotten the giant can of whoop-ass that he unleashed on Allah Pundit and Meghan McCain. All that red in the post must symbolize what their respective backsides must now look like after that unmerciful beatdown. You can choose not to read Jay’s post if you so [...]

Damned Lawyers
July 2, 2009 | 6 Comments
RS McCain with perhaps the greatest rant in the history of rants. It has it all: pointing out the complete idiocy of most drivers, and some good old-fasioned lawyer bashing. This part in particular is just classic: How do you become a lawyer? By being the kind of goody-two-shoes apple-polishing teacher’s pet who excels at [...]

Oh no, Janeane Garofalo is on to us!
April 17, 2009 | 4 Comments
How would the world continue to function without the insightful political commentary of Jeneane Garofalo: JANEANE GAROFALO: Thank you. You know, there’s nothing more interesting than seeing a bunch of racists become confused and angry at a speech they’re not quite certain what he’s saying. It sounds right and then it doesn’t make sense. Which, [...]

The rhetoric of opposition

Suction-aspiration: [T]he abortionist must first paralyze the cervical muscle ring (womb opening) and then stretch it open. This is difficult because it is hard or “green” and not ready to open. He then inserts a hollow plastic tube, which has a knife-like edge on the tip, into the uterus. The suction tears the baby’s body [...]

AIG=ARGH
March 18, 2009 | 2 Comments
The current kerfuffle over AIG and its payout of bonuses to certain of its former employees represents my “Popeye” moment where I shout “I stands what I can stands and I can’t stands no more.” No, I’m not outraged about the bonuses, though I think they’re incredibly stupid. My angst is aimed entirely at the [...]

Lying liars
October 24, 2008 | Comments Off
I believe there should be a rather hot space reserved for people who lie about being the victims of crime. It turns out Miss Ashley Todd completely made up her story about being attacked by an Obama supporter. This is why I usually don’t post such stories until they’re confirmed. Silly me, I thought I’d [...]

Bikers
September 16, 2008 | 2 Comments
I used to bike quite a lot, and in a fairly urban setting, so I sympathize with the difficulties in biking in a downtown area. And many bikers are curteous and obey the laws. That said, bikers are really starting to bug me. Here’s what drives me batty. They want to be treated like motor [...]

No means no

Exactly how many times do you have to tell a telemarketer, “No thanks, I am not interested,” before the message sinks in that, no thanks, I am not interested in your product? Someone from a credit card company that shall remain nameless (I don’t want them to discover my grievance with them) – and to [...]

My sentiments exactly
September 4, 2008 | Comments Off
Ace’s takedown of the left is simply a thing of beauty. There are a couple of interesting things here. First of all, why are all the Democrats so shocked she gave a partisan, cutting, attack dog speech? She is the Vice Presidential candidate; that is the VP’s job, after all. Did they think she wouldn’t [...]

WNR
August 27, 2008 | 6 Comments
Against my better judgment I decided to watch the Democratic National Convention. After listening to speaker after speaker after speaker talk about our country as if we are all hopeless sheep that have been brought to the brink of slaughter by the wicked George W. Bush, I have simply had enough. America is not a [...]

Thank you, MLB
June 15, 2008 | Comments Off
I would like to thank the money grubbing whores at Major League Baseball and their imbecilic broadcast partners at ESPN for preventing me from watching the second game of the Mets-Rangers doubleheader. Though I have shelled out $160 for the ability to watch all out of market baseball games, because the game started a fraction [...]

On hold with Turbo Tax
February 19, 2008 | Comments Off
After three dropped calls and four attempts to route me, I finally made it through to an IRS tax helper, who it turns out gave me only partially accurate information. It seems there is a tax form that I still need to file (or ought to, just to be on the safe side), and of course [...]

On hold with the IRS
February 19, 2008 | 3 Comments
I am currently on hold with the IRS, as I have a fairly simple tax question to ask of them. What better way to kill the time than to write a blog post. Let’s see how far I can get into this before one of their representatives actually gets to me. So, umm, what’s up? [...]
