A New Dextrospheric Blog Poll with Some Thoughts

Jimmie | June 30, 2009 | Comments (1)

John Hawkins has another blogger poll up at Right Wing News for which I was one of the respondents. Normally, John keeps his questions tightly focused around a particular topic or upcoming event (an election, a Congressional vote, etc) but this bunch of questions was kind of all over the place. I wonder where he’s [...]

GOP Loses Senate Seat to Misogynist Clown. Nicely Done, Guys.

Thanks, Republican Party. Thanks a whole heaping pile. For the next six years we’ll have to put up with this angry, nasty, misogynist, anti-Christian wretch of a human being, thanks to a fabulously wretched campaign by Norm Coleman. Seriously, if the GOP can’t beat Al Franken, who on Earth can they beat? UPDATE: Ed Driscoll [...]

Is Our New Foreign Policy Really “Do The Opposite of Bush”?

Jimmie | June 30, 2009 | Comments (1)

If the Obama administration has a coherent foreign policy, the theme seems to be “Do the Opposite of George Bush”. Since the Bush foreign policy was heavy on denouncing tyrants and strongmen and long on promoting democracy on multiple fronts and in multiple ways, undoing that will necessarily mean cozying up to folks like Mad [...]

Tales of Media Bias, Part Whatever

Back in November, Ed Driscoll wrote, “When the MSM moans about the gallons of red ink it’s spilled since 2001, it needs to ask itself if it’s prepared to actually report the news, in a fashion that interests readers, or if it exists as a non-profit ideological support system.” I’m going to go with “non-profit [...]

Ah…Who Needs Tough Questions Anyhow?

And after George Snuffleupagus and David Axelrod spent a few minutes on national television marvelling over the betrayal of Warren Buffet, et. al., they made out for several minutes. I guess Snuffy could have actually done an objective interview and pinned Axelrod down on a couple points, but that’s not really ABC’s bag lately.

That’s How You Support Your Favorite Blogger

I should be a bit jealous about this, but I’m not. Stacy works his tail off and he’s worth every penny he gets in donations. Then again, so am I. So if you’re not inclined to donate to him (and you should hit him first, so he can put on that shindig this weekend), slipping [...]

Again, the President Has Chosen Poorly

Jimmie | June 29, 2009 | Comments (4)

Our non-meddling President, after two weeks of assiduously not meddling in the “vigorous debate” in Iran (wherein one side is allowed to use guns and clubs as debating tools), has decided to meddle in the internal affairs of Honduras. And, true to form, he picked the wrong side. Reaction to the apparent coup was swift. [...]

At Least You’ll Get A Nice Quill Pen and Inkpot

Is it too much to ask that the President’s Energy Czar, whatever the hell that is, actually read the entire bill she is lobbying so hard to get through Congress? Well, if you ask her, and Steve Doocy did, it’s horribly unfair to even ask the question. Doocy asked her five times and she managed [...]
