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 …

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 …

My thanks…

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), …
