I Know We’re Not in the Same Market, But Still…
Dear Radio Shack, Step off. Love, The Shack.
Shame, Shame.
I don’t think they make a cone big enough to contain all the shame Rep. Melissa Bean had earned herself in only a week. Speaking of shame, can’t the Democrats find some real doctors to hawk Obamacare at a few town hall meetings? Or at least, if they’re going to provide fake doctors, they should [...]
MS-NBC’s Racist Lie Must Not Be Allowed To Stand
Ace is right. The flat-out deception that happened Tuesday on MS-NBC should not be allowed to stand. I know I’m burying the lede and if you’re in a hurry, you can hit the links and get the story faster, but hang with me. This is better with some setup. Here’s the short version of the [...]
Voting Isn’t for Everyone, Including Would-Be Senators
If you one day aspire to high elected office, you should show at least a moderate level of participation in the democratic process before you decide to run.

Left Wing Thuggery Deserves Nelson Muntz Reaction

Bill posed no threat to oil installations [...]
Dissed by the Times and Instapundit. Again.
Hey New York Times, you’re four-days late on that editorial. I covered the same subject, and did a better job of it, frankly, on Sunday. Ryan Sager, who for all I know is a fine upstanding person, never makes it clear in his editorial that the distinctive characteristic of Astroturfing is dishonesty. Without that central [...]
Noted Partisans Shockingly Decide to Be Partisan on Health Care
Well, you had to expect it would come to this eventually. Given hardening Republican opposition to Congressional health care proposals, Democrats now say they see little chance of the minority’s cooperation in approving any overhaul, and are increasingly focused on drawing support for a final plan from within their own ranks. Top Democrats said Tuesday [...]
