It’s a bipartisan affair, according to Kristen Powers. Prosecution is rather spotty, however:
Did you know there is a war on women?
Yes, it’s true. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts. There have been boycotts by people on the [...]
Conservative firebrand Andrew Breitbart is dead at age 43, apparently from natural causes:
The websites he founded ran a statement Thursday morning announcing that Breitbart, 43, died “unexpectedly from natural causes” in Los Angeles shortly after midnight. His attorney and editor-in-chief of those sites confirmed his death to Fox News. “We have lost a husband, [...]
President Barack Obama was elected to be the leader of the free world based on little more accomplishment than a pair of autobiographies.
Now, attention spans being what they are, he apparently intends to win re-election based on a 30-minute infomercial, directed by Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” propagandist.
The sad thing is, it may [...]
The Beeb weighs in on MSNBC’s firing of Pat Buchanan, calling the act symbolic of the “narrowing of the American mind“:
The channel says he has been fired because of views expressed in his book, Suicide of a Super Power, which contains chapters on “The End of White America” and “The Death of Christian [...]
Remember when Nancy Pelosi told us that we had to pass the president’s signature health care bill to find out what was in it?
The jollies over at the Economist have done so, and have found some interesting tid-bits (emphasis added):
Dodd-Frank is part of a wider trend. Governments of both parties keep adding [...]
Breitbart declines to do so
An outsider’s take on our Constitution, and our Republic, contrasted against the goal towards which our elites would move us.
Twenty-seven and a half minutes, and time well spent.
I suspect that most bloggers, and many of those who read blogs, start their morning off with a quick scan of Memeorandum.com. If only to see what everyone else is talking about. I don’t use much of their information during the political season, because so very much of it is transient noise and lightless [...]
Today’s USA Today is running an article about a new federal program to help local police departments deal with the “ticking time bomb veteran” chimera. I found elements within it rather irritating:
The Justice Department is funding an unusual national training program to help police deal with an increasing number of volatile confrontations involving [...]
Oil pipelines? A wonderful idea, according to President Obama’s own job council:
President Obama’s jobs council called Tuesday for an “all-in approach” to energy policy that includes expanded oil-and-gas drilling as well as expediting energy projects like pipelines.
“[W]e should allow more access to oil, natural gas and coal opportunities on federal lands,” states [...]

Credo "Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier
