Well, it seems that nobody is particularly impressed by the actions taken by the leftist thugs who broke up the appearance on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus of Tom Tancredo the other night. Quelle suprise. You can get the facts about the event here, here or here.
What this post is about it the sudden realisation by […]

Susan Roesgen, who is apparently a reporter for CNN (I don’t watch CNN, so I can’t verify that one way or the other) was given the wisdom of hundreds of people who’re thoroughly fed up with her employer. You can watch her here. Susan, baby, I hope you learned what your bosses didn’t/wouldn’t/can’t tell you […]

Well, Ms Napolitano just got her first, maybe her second object lesson in national-level politics. After the widespread publication of the DHS report in right-wing extremists which allegedly leaked out over the weekend from her department, she’s come under increasing fire from conservatives and veterans for the the broad-brush manner in which the report paints […]

I ran across this story in my reading. It’s a very scathing review of Timmy Treasury, er Geithner, our new esteemed tax-dodging Treasury Secretary. The short version is that the current Prime Minister of Australia absolutely rips Geithner as the single person who misunderstood and misresponded to the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990’s.

With his first big prime-time press event looming, the pundits are all atwitter about “First African-American…” Can we all just get over that tired meme? Please?

Well, the dust has settled on the gubernatorial career of Rod Blagojevich and he’s been bounced out of office by the Illinois Senate. It was a 59-0 vote that put him out of his misery after three days of high-profile whining on whatever TV shows would give him the time. He came back to the […]
