Clearing the Browser Tabs – At Least Joe Biden Didn’t Jump Out of the Cake Thursday Edition
So yesterday, the President threw a big nationwide birthday party and practically begged people to throw envelopes of money at him so he could spend another four years golfing his way through history. At least the rest of the country got the soft cell. His “friends” in Chicago couldn’t wish him a Happy 50th unless [...]
The Delivery Presents – Hasn’t Anyone Heard of “Independence Day”?
Episode 105, with special guest and fellow Satan sandwich-eating extremist Caleb Howe, continues my little string of shows where I talk about some of the smaller political conventions conservatives can attend around the country. I like small get-togethers because, as I said last week and this, you can meet a bunch of interesting people yet [...]
I Will Not Eat Your Bipartisan Spam. I Do Not Like It, Republican-I-Am.
I get in trouble sometimes with my fellow right-wingers for insisting that “bipartisan” “compromise” on a budget deal is a carnival game rigged to bring in the rubes so that those who run the game — we call them “members of Congress” — can shake us so hard that money falls out of our grandchildren. [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – What Part of “Choo Choo” is Racist Wednesday Edition
I’m not sure what gets in someone’s head to make them see Thomas the Tank Engine as a racist tool of the oppressors, but whatever it is, we should point and laugh whenever we see it manifested. It bothers me that there is no aspect of life that the professional left won’t try to turn [...]
Forgive Me for Not Joining the Party: A Debbie Downer Blog Post
I’m afraid I don’t share the general exultation of the right side of the blogosphere today over the debt ceiling deal that will undoubtedly become law today. Hooray, says my friend Jeff: The Republicans scored a political win that slowed down the runaway spending locomotive! Hooray, says my friend Pete: Republicans like Allen West and Renee Elmers [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – When Do We March on the Schools Tuesday Edition
I suspect that we may be on the verge of a major education revolution. Thanks to state of Wisconsin, led by Governor Scott Walker and a few brave Republcians (who, by the way, face a series of scurrilous recall elections thanks to the bitter and petty left), we know that the teachers’ unions do not [...]
Let Us Look Back at the Calm, Rational Rhetoric of the Debt Ceiling Circus
Now that the debt ceiling circus is all over but the voting and back-slapping, why not look back at some of the well-considered and not-at-a–batspit-crazy statements made by certain influential members of the left over the past few days. We can start very near the top, with this nugget of reason from Vice President Joe [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Empty Shell of a Blog Post Monday Edition
I’ve done so much work on the debt ceiling circus here and on Twitter this week that I’m out of blogging fuel right now. It’s not a great excuse, but it’s the one I have. It’s been a long week, but I’ll be recharged a bit later today. Check out my post on the current [...]
