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 […]

Late post for me, but take a quick peek at this article from the Dallas News. Texas governor Rick Perry, in a presser following his appearance at a Tea Party, suggested without saying that secession could possibly be one course of action taken by his state. Finally, someone in a position of authority has sort […]

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 […]

According to this article in the Times of London, Mr. Sarkozy, President of France, is seeing that the new leader of the US, Barack Hussein Obama, is mostly promotion and not much substance. This is an observation/realisation that is likely to be repeated innumerable times around the world as other world leaders see that the […]

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? In the big sense, racism is largely a non-starter. Except for the institutionalised racism of Affirmative Action, there just isn’t much formal racism in America. But there are racist […]

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 […]

From the man who nearly brought the pound into bankruptcy, George Soros:
Energy policy could also play an important role in counteracting both depression and deflation. The American consumer can no longer act as the motor of the global economy. Alternative energy and developments that produce energy savings could serve as a new motor, but only […]

It turns out that there’s more to George Mitchell than just wasting the taxpayers time and money finding out if some grown-up kid who plays baseball for a living uses drugs. Yeah, it’s important, but Senate-hearing important? Don’t think so. Let the League figure it out and deal with both the problem, and the solutions. […]
