A Little Lesson in Civics
If I were bright boy Ezra Klein, I’d put a piece of steak on that black eye and just go home. There’s nothing he can write that can rebuild the dignity Byron York slapped out of him. Now, if you did in fact ask a kid who just took a civics class, she — could [...]
Close, But No Twiki
I don’t know how I missed that a remake of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is afoot (via Grognardia), but I feel a small amount of shame in the geekiest part of my heart. This is the sort of thing that sits right in the sweetest part of my television/movie sweet spot. I am [...]
Crazy is Crazy, No Matter What Lever You Pull
I really am tired of the progressive left’s idiotic and malicious attempts to paint every newsworthy violent act as the fault of conservatives and/or the Tea party movement. It’s as if they are trying to build the Great Wall of Denial to hide themselves from the shame of so many utopian movements gone horribly wrong. [...]
Today, RFC Radio Gets a Special Delivery!
If you were around the Radio for Conservatives chatroom last Wednesday night at 9 PM, you might have noticed that The Delivery didn’t air. Instead, we got a double shot of Jenny Erikson’s Smart Girl Report show. I didn’t find out about the missing broadcast until the next time, by which time Thomas LaDuke, RFC [...]
If You Ask Harry Reid, It’s Practically “Morning in America” Again.
The newest jobs report is out and things are not looking all that hot. You’d think that after we did everything the progressives told us we had to do, which usually boiled down to spending hundreds of billions of dollars on big-government, high-control, low-entrepreneurship, campaign contributor-enriching programs, we’d be in better shape. But no (via [...]
How Fox News Almost Gave Us President Gore
Andrew Malcolm has unearthed an interesting little tidbit from Karl Rove’s upcoming book. One of the overlooked details of the forever-fight over the widely-debated conservative leanings of the Fox News Channel (besides the fact that a third of its viewers are Democrats) is that it was Fox that broke the then-shocking story in 2000 of [...]
Out of the Valley of Scandal Reporting Rode the MSM
Hmmm…this sounds just a teensy bit familiar (via David Freddoso). Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said earlier Thursday that she learned Wednesday of the misconduct allegations, although her staff had learned of it earlier and decided against briefing her. “There had been a rumor, but just that,” Pelosi told reporters Thursday at her weekly news conference. [...]
The Social Tyranny of Obamacare, Coming Soon
I think John Stuart Mill would recognize exactly what’s going on in Washington lately. Society can and does execute its own mandates; and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds [...]
