Whodathunkit

Eat the rich, maaan, tax them all to Hell and gone. Go ahead. See what it gets ya. The Treasury received £10.35 billion in income tax payments from those paying by self-assessment last month, a drop of £509 million compared with January 2011. Most other taxes produced higher revenues over the same period. Senior sources …

Protecting and serving

Whatever would we do without our conscientious, watchful overlords out there taking care of their hapless flock? Then there was the stunning victory last week of the massive federal government over a little Amish farmer in Pennsylvania who was intentionally and maliciously caring for cows, milking them and then selling the fresh milk produced by …

It’s working, by gum!

Combating evil Americans’ evil addiction to evil oil, one bankruptcy at a time: If Democrats had their way, after all, we would be enjoying the economic results of cap-and-trade policy these days — a program designed to increase the cost of energy by creating false demand in a fabricated market. As the theory goes, if …

GREAT news for Barky: economy finally collapsing but good!

What a weaselly, lying little shit our Pretend pResident is. Obama thinks the current run up in gas prices is a good sign, evidence that the economy is improving. Except, in 2011, the global economy slowed down while oil and gas prices were rising along with a broad range of other commodities including gold even …

Catch the feeevah!

Barky needs a new campaign slogan; apparently, “This time for sure!” wasn’t working for him. Leave it to the Moron Horde to come up with some real doozies, among ‘em: Obama 2012: Change Is Expensive Obama 2012: Because Queen Elizabeth Really Wants A Skateboard Obama in 2012 – Because somebody, somewhere, still works in the …

RIP Gary Carter

A great one gone; McLaughlin remembers him well. Update! Bonus via Dan: May Vin Scully never leave us. In the March issue of Golf Digest, Dodgers broadcaster (and former CBS golf announcer) Vin Scully talks about his love of the game and of just being out on the course. “The crack of the bat in …

Another silly question

Jenny asks it: It’s hard to find gas for less than $4 per gallon in my neck of the woods, and the experts are telling me that I should enjoy this low price while I can, because rates are only going to go up. Please excuse me while I curl into a ball on the …

What a Progressivist-tyranny military looks like

Weak. And kind of sad. And, frankly, pathetic. Back in the Reagan days, the phrase “personnel is policy” revealed an insight on how Washington works. Any administration is more likely to succeed if it hires the best people who are ideologically oriented to its goals. If your agenda is radically-liberal, as Obama’s is, you would …

Good show!

Well, I’ll definitely be checking this one out. Imagine a television comedy about an American who moves to an exotic foreign country. He utterly refuses to assimilate, flouts the local laws, beats up people who offend him (including, in a scene that shocked even me, a Muslim who simply refused to shake a woman’s hand), …

Santorum tells truth, gets slammed

Well, he would; he doesn’t have a “D” after his name in all the papers. Of course, if he did have, telling the truth wouldn’t ever be an issue; he’d be constitutionally incapable of it anyway. On Saturday, surging Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rick Santorum attacked President Barack Obama’s governing philosophy: “It’s about some phony …

Back up and running

SO. I gots a recommendation for you folks: Clear Wireless. Got set up with ‘em over the weekend, received my refurbed Motorola modem (all of twenty, count ‘em, 20, bucks) just about ten minutes ago, and here I am, back in the saddle. It’s blazingly fast, and their personnel (I’ve so far spoken to two …

Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

My internet connection is still sketchy and unsteady, and it now looks as if it’s going to be Monday before I can expect it to be fixed. But I just had to get this in while I can: a good summation of the damage wrought by Ogabecare from Krauthammer: Consider the constitutional wreckage left by …

Publick announcement

I’ve had a spotty, unreliable, damned near nonexistent internet connection the last few days around here, hence my absence from this joint and just about everywhere else on the Intarwebs. Hope to have it all fixed up again sometime tomorrow. Fingers crossed on that one…

“Bold colors, not pale pastels”

Palin electrified ‘em yet again, bless her little heart, and there’s much discussion of it out there, both hither and yon. Palin will not accept that future because it is an un-exceptional one. An un-American one, to say the least. “We are the heirs of patriots who cast off the chains of tyranny, of immigrants …

Nemo goes fishing

And catches some big ones. Sweetened beverages, or so-called “sugary sodas,” have acquired a nasty reputation as major contributors to child — and adult — obesity. But the damage they cause is not confined to that alone. Sugary sodas, experts warn, also play a significant role in climate change, pollution and in income distribution inequity. Be sure …

ATTACK WAAAATCH!

Snitches get stitches. President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign announced early Monday that it is launching a new site to enable supporters to promote Obama’s successes and “hold Republicans accountable.” The new site incorporates the AttackWatch brand, which was met by ridicule from the GOP when it was announced last year, and encourages Obama supporters to …

The enemy Part the Second

We have met him, and he is us. Well, some of us. We often hear the Democrats cited as the reason we’re in this mess today, but that’s a cop out. The right in the guise of the Republican party are just as guilty as the Democrats. In fact, I’d argue they’re more guilty. The reason we’re in …

The enemy

Of honest journalism, of Constitutionally-limited government, of liberty, of truth and integrity itself. Extensive interviews with a number of Brock’s current and former colleagues at Media Matters, as well as with leaders from across the spectrum of Democratic politics, reveal an organization roiled by its leader’s volatile and erratic behavior and struggles with mental illness, …

Obama is winning the War On America

And we face one of the many costs of defeat every time we gas up. The Obama administration has been tightening the grip around the collective necks of the fossil fuel industry. The goal is of course to kill it and nowhere is this more self evident than with oil exploration. The most recent example …

Catholics get a look at the iron fist

Unfortunately but unsurprisingly, they’ve decided to fight the wrong battle. Why is he doing this? Why let “health” “care” “reform” stagger on like the rotting husk in a low-grade creature feature who refuses to stay dead no matter how many stakes you pound through his chest? Because it’s worth it. Big time. I’ve been saying …

“Send the rest of the conservative movement a case of whatever it is Andrew drinks”

He fights. Forget the conservative movement, they’re fine; better send a few pallet-loads to the GOP “leadership.” Or a couple of shipping containers’ worth. Aww, never mind. Whatever it may be that Breitbart’s drinking, there ain’t enough of it in the world to stiffen spines that aren’t there in the first place. You gotta build …

Pseudo-science laid bare

Well on the way to being refuted, as always, by science. This is a longish and in-depth sort of article, so I’ll content myself with one brief excerpt, involving a lamer-than-usual “debunking” by a global-warmening shaman: I don’t know what I find more amusing about this quote: the fact that he is directing scientists not …

“I’m sorry, do you smell something?”

I do indeed, and it’s Teh Funny: Obama/Volt 2012! He damned well ought to have to run with it. If not as a running mate, then as a millstone around his scrawny neck. Or, say, a weight tied to his ankles before he’s chunked into the Potomac. (Via Ace)
