  • Oh HELL no!

    Via Drudge, Weekly World Daily has a chilling article regarding some new regarding legislation in Massachussetts that’s been passed by their Senate and is now making its way through the House (and this makes me wicked glad that I don’t live there anymore)…. The way I’m reading this piece of fear-laden crap is that ‘authorities’… Continue reading

  • The next time someone mentions astroturf….

    … take a look at this video from Gateway Pundit (h.t. Instapundit) who taped a little training session before a Town Hall meeting. Guess which side of the health care debate they are on?? Continue reading

  • So if Al Gore says it, it must be true—NOT!

    Via Drudge, here’s a report detailing the speeches that Algore and Clinton (Bill, not the Secretary of State) gave to a bunch of Tennessee democrats. Algore states that “anything complicated can be misrepresented. Number two, it’s personal. It’s personal to all of us. Anything personal can be used to inspire fear.” Well, he’s made a… Continue reading

  • HUBRIS!

    Via Timebomb 2000 (ht: Middle of the Right): Congressman Massa absolutely says that he would vote against the wishes of his district if he believes that it would be best for them, despite what they might say about an issue. Does he not realize that he has lost the frickin’ plot?? He’s not there to… Continue reading

  • Burkhas and hijabs and chadors, oh my!

    Maybe it’s because I was married to an Iranian (who, BTW, never EVER mentioned me putting on chador–just wanted to make it clear) maybe it’s the same reason that I don’t like wearing turtlenecks, I dunno, but it’s one of my hot-button, soapbox issues. I see someone with a scarf on her head and I… Continue reading

  • Shell games and curtains

    The White House’s flag@whitehouse.gov’s address that was designed to collect information about people disseminating ‘fishy’ information (to the rest of us, that would be those pesky things called facts) regarding the health care reform bill, has now been shut down due to questions regarding how the data collected would be used, if the information came… Continue reading

  • Voting with your feet

    From CBS news (via Instapundit): Thousands of seniors are quitting the AARP over the its health care reform stance. What has happened is that people, recognizing that the organization is not representing their wishes and ideals, are voting with their feet and are cutting ties to that organization. On a different scale, the Tea Party… Continue reading

  • The Amateur Hour

    I’ve been channeling my energies in different directions, hence the wickedly light blogging lately. But this piece, which had been riding just the edge of my awareness, smacked me in the face this morning. It details Hillary Clinton’s meltdown over a possibly misinterpreted question about China where the question was interpreted as “What does MR.… Continue reading

  • It's getting closer…

    My partner has reiterated, when speaking about fashion, that if all of a sudden, showing one’s left breast became fashionable, most (he used to say all) women would begin wearing tops that kept the left breast exposed. Well, we’re getting closer to that…. I just saw that shaving off one’s eyebrows completely off is becoming… Continue reading

  • Yeah, what she said….

    Chicago Boyz has an interesting blog post this morning. It can be found here. I disagree in that I think that the modern US educational system has so often told each person that they are a ‘special snowflake’ that it has exacerbated the notion that people are more deserving of, well, anything, than anyone else… Continue reading
