  • Healthcare Reform and other People's money

    Roberta I think has nailed this one on the head.  She says in response to any speaker who says that ‘a country as rich as this one can pay for….’ (this part I’m paraphrasing, below is her quote): This country’s government isn’t wealthy at all; in fact, it is deep in debt. The fellow who… Continue reading

  • He's not even bothering to hide it anymore

    Via Drudge, there is an article in the Washington Post by Anne Kornblut that chronicles Obama’s stop in South Korea and his speech to the troops at Osan Airbase.  Maybe it wasn’t meant to sound the way it did, and maybe I’m being a little too cynical when it comes to Obama and his speeches… Continue reading

  • Notes from The American Spectator

    I’ve blogged a lot on the subject of the utter disdain the Obama administration has shown as far as foreign policy (the Reset button that wasn’t, the Brown incident, etc.) but Andrew Cline over at The American Spectator really sums up many of these debacles into one very good article.  The title, American Buffoonery, says… Continue reading

  • Political theater at its finest

    Via Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, Congress is trying to investigate the actions of various agencies (or non-action since they were paralzyed by the PC/diversity thought police), leading up to the murders at Fort Hood by Hasan.  And, BTW, the Obama administration is refusing to let anyone who might have direct knowledge about Hasan testify before… Continue reading

  • And it's just that simple….

    Heard this morning that the Maersk Alabama was fired upon by Somali pirates.  Guards on the ship (a new addition apparently after the hostage thing several months ago) fired back and the pirates went away.  Gee golly, imagine that!  Actually not waiting around to become a victim works!  Imagine if each household had its own… Continue reading

  • Free speech from a surprising source

    Earlier this year, Yale University Press declined to release cartoon images of Muhammad in Jytte Klausen’s book, The Cartoons that Shook the World (oh the irony).  Their statement is here.  Basically they wussed out and they bowed to the Islamists and allowed the threat of violence (ie, terrorism) to put a damper on free speech. … Continue reading

  • 2012, the Movie

    This is the first movie I’ve seen in the theater since Casino Royale.  I went and saw this with my sister in Wisconsin last weekend.  It really took until today, when someone asked me about it to realize that it was actually a good movie since the special effects kind of put my brain into… Continue reading

  • Gay Hillary supporters posting their appreciation of Bush and his actions at Ft. Hood

    Bookworm has an interesting blogpost where she quotes two gay Hillary supporters and how they are starting to realize their appreciation for what Bush did and is continuing to do for our country and its defenders.  They realize that Obama (or Gore or a slough of other folks) would not have done what Bush did… Continue reading

  • MORE bowing and scraping….

    Once again Obama bows and scrapes to a foreign leader.  At least it was in Japan and the Japanese press were so embarrassed for him that they are refusing to run the pictures.  But the University of Connecticut Republicans have put together a nice montage of how one greets the Emperor of Japan and how… Continue reading
