Paul Krugman vs. Paul Krugman
Last Friday, James Taranto had this hilarious observation in his Best of the Web Today column of Paul Krugman arguing with his past self: Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman takes note in his New York Times column of what he calls “the incredible gap that has opened up between the parties”: Today, Democrats and Republicans live... »
Harry Reid: Only 36,000 Lost Their Jobs Today, Which Is Really Good!”
Here’s Harry Reid (D-NV) today, saying, “Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.” You just gotta see it to believe it: »
The Epitome of Hypocrisy
Naked Emperor News has compiled what has to be one of the most hearty meals of crow that the Dems are going to have to eat right now, as they all continue to babble on about using the “nuclear option” to ram their corpulent health care obscenity through Congress. This beautiful compilation includes an all-star... »
Buh-Bayh
Here’s one more gem from James Taranto’s Best of the Web Today: See if you can guess the topic of the New York Times op-ed piece whose first paragraph is this: Baseball may be our national pastime, but the age-old tradition of taking a swing at Congress is a sport with even deeper historical roots in... »
Obama’s Racket
James Taranto wrote such a great piece in today’s Best of the Web Today, that I simply have to include the entire section that I found so appealing here: “Audiences Hate Modern Classical Music Because Their Brains Cannot Cope”: an arresting headline from London’s Sunday Telegraph. This is the argument of a new book, “The... »
Obama Losing Reelection Poll Against… Anyone!
It’s one thing to be losing in a poll to a particular opponent, but you have to be doing exceptionally poorly in the approval ratings to be losing in a poll to the prospect of anyone else. And, according to a recent CNN poll, that’s exactly where Obama stands right now. 52% of respondents would prefer... »
Bow-Crazy
Here’s Obama, now bowing to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio. What is wrong with this guy? Does he go into automatic-servant mode whenever someone reaches out a hand for a handshake? Or maybe ever since the Saudi monarch bow-scandal, he’s now just trying to make it look like he “always does this sort of thing”… kind of... »
Affirmative Action Handicapping
Here’s a typical backwards affirmative action approach to “evening the playing field”, as articulated so beautifully in National Review’s The Week (January 25, 2010): The folks at California’s Berkeley High School have a problem, or think they do: The school’s black and Hispanic students score much lower on standardized tests than whites and Asians. Their... »
Leno’s Backhanded Praise For Obama
As much as I love Conan, I just have to post this great quote from Leno (January 20): You know, it’s hard to believe President Obama has now been in office for a year! And, you know, it’s incredible. He took something that was in terrible, terrible shape, and he brought it back from the brink... »
Harry Reid’s Last Days
Looks like Harry Reid (D-NV) can kiss his job goodbye, considering this Roll Call news item: President Barack Obama will appear with politically embattled Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in Las Vegas next month, according to a White House official. Let’s just hope Obama’s campaign “assistance” organizers don’t forget about Barbara Boxer and all the... »
MSNBC’s Ed Schultz Advocates Voter Fraud
Unlike most liberals who are at least either smart enough or ashamed enough to try to hide their crooked political tactics, here’s one loony liberal who has no problem announcing to the world that he advocates voter fraud in order to beat conservatives (at least he realizes that it’s getting harder and harder to... »
Idiots With A Web Site
Just when you thought there wasn’t anything left to blame on Bush and Cheney (since they’re even blaming the weather on them these days), here’s the idiotic motherjones.com web site (which ironically bills itself as “smart fearless journalism”) with this ludicrous headline: How Bush-Cheney Policy Screwed Haiti I wonder if Bush-Cheney is also responsible for the apparent... »
Putz-head Schumer Gets Crass
Chuck Schumer (D-NY), a man never known to waste a sound bite or any other opportunity to distribute his “pearls of wisdom”, stepped into the gutter this weekend by sending out a fundraising email with some crass references to Massachusetts candidate for senator, Scott Brown. Yes, the hypocrite who got all indignant when Al D’Amato... »
Conservative Reporter Roughed Up By Coakley Thug
Considering the reputation of Massachusetts Democrats, this probably comes as no surprise. John McCormack, a reporter for the conservative Weekly Standard magazine (one which I highly recommend, by the way), was roughed up by a thug working for the Democrat candidate for Senator, Martha Coakley. The icing on the cake is the fact that the... »
Scott Brown Reclaiming Senate Seat for “The People”!
David Gergen was not hiding his liberal agenda while moderating a public debate between Scott Brown, GOP candidate for the open Senate seat in Massachusetts, and Martha Coakley, the Democrat candidate. He actually had the shameless audacity to phrase a question directed at Brown as follows: “Are you willing to say: I’m going to be... »
