Control Yourselves! Al Gore Is Writing Another Book.
Oh joy and rapture, Al Gore is writing another book! I know, I know. The very idea of 300 or so pages from such a scintillating wordsmith as Gore is enough to stir the soul to heights of heretofore unknown bliss, but I have better than an idea. I have a summary of the book [...]
The Left’s New Civility: Hostage Tactics and Death Threats
You would expect, given all the talk from Democrats about how we need more civility in our political discourse and how “violent rhetoric” is as dangerous as actual violence, that the left would react to last night’s vote in Wisconsin with moderation and calm. Except they haven’t quite figure out how to manage a civil, [...]
The Delivery Presents — Palin, Progressives, and Programs that Died Too Soon
Episode 81 is in the can, and while I won’t claim it’s the best show of the crop, I can claim it has a lot on which you can chew. I talked a bit about Sarah Palin and why we conservatives really can’t waste time on her until she decided what it is she wants [...]
New Media Scores Again, Exposes the Rot Inside NPR
Today’s lesson in How New Media Has Changed Everything comes to us via the fine, non-partisan, journalistically-pure folks over at NPR.

Their goal was to [...]

Someone decided it would be a good idea to sit the Baron Harkonnen-ish Michael Moore in front of a camera and capture his gaseous emanations for posterity. The result was a cloud of stale socialism and self-righteous stank that Doug Powers, Bryan Preston, and Jonah Goldberg all treated the same way you’d treat the air [...]
You Can’t Teach Them If They Won’t Learn
Everything I dislike about left-wing protesters can be found in this video by Ann Althouse and her husband. Here’s the set-up. Ann and Meade, who have been covering the teachers’ union protests in Madison, WI this week, found that one group had stuck a bunch of their posters and signs on the back of a [...]
The Dream Police, They Coming to Give You Health Care, Oh No!
Well, this is certainly a novel defense of Obamacare. Unfortunately for us, it was made by a federal judge and now has the binding power of law until a higher judge can strike it down for the codswallop it is. As previous Commerce Clause cases have all involved physical activity, as opposed to mental activity, [...]
Unions Goon Demonstrates, Escalates, but Fails to Intimidate
On Tuesday, Democratic Congressman Michael Capuano said this to a crowd of union members. “I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going…Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.” [emphasis mine] [...]
