Imagine If Chappaquiddick Happened With Todays Media

This is the kind of insane, deranged, un-blanking-believable completely unhinged type of progressive claptrap that makes me want to break out in Ace type language over this Eric Zorn Chicago Tribune story: How wall-to-wall Chappaquiddick would have changed history — for the worse Of course every network would have had special logos featuring bridges, water, wrecked […]

Climahysterics Scared Silly Over Chamber Trial Challenge

You know what happens when anyone challenges one of the religious doctrines of the Left?

Peter King Wonders Which Side The Obama Admin Is On

Quite frankly, it would have been nice to see some of this same talk while Bush was President and the Left, included the elected Congress Critters, were going pure, utter barking moonbat A “furious” Rep.

Moonbat Compares Lockerbie Bomber To G’itmo Vacationers

Just to prove the old saying that Liberals will use any excuse to push their deranged agenda. Aaron Zelinsky manages to link Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, the only man convicted in the Lockerbie bombing, who was released from jail to return home to Lybia, as he is dying of prostate cancer, to the jihadis in […]

Today’s “Isn’t Government Run Health Grrrrrrreat!” Stories

While Obama and the Donkeys are working on ways to “go it alone,” meaning, “forget those troublesome Republicans, we need to spend our time wacking our Blue Dogs,” I wonder what is going on in the Wonderful World Of Single Payer?
