Columbus Day Gone At Brown U.

Liberalism, political correctness, and stupidity on the march Brown University is taking the “Columbus Day” out of Columbus Day weekend.

Gallup Poll Apparently Says Us Teabaggers Are Out Of Touch (?)

So says one of the leading Nutroots voices at MyDD I’m sure it hasn’t gone unnoticed that I’ve been blogging a lot lately about how out of touch the right-wing is with mainstream public opinion.

Not to rain on progressives “see, we told you Obama was Da Man and would TCOB!” parade, but, via The Other McCain through Gateway Pundit from Blackfive, a little follow up I just finished listening to the press conference w/ ADM Gortney about the rescue of Captain Phillips.

Pirates Testing Obama With New Seizure?

Those “3am” calls Hillary talked about just seem to keep coming. NK missile test. First American flagged vessel overtaken by pirates in over 200 years.

Pigs Used To Test Armor. When Will PETA Freak?

There’s other more serious stuff out there, like how much AGW policy will cost, and the jury still being out on AGW (the author gets slammed in the comments for being and investment banker, instead of being a climatologist like Al Gore, James Hansen, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Ban Moon-ki, Diane Feinstein, Leonardo Dicaprio, IPCC […]

It’s Bush’s Fault For Millions Losing Money In Their Pensions

Remember the good old days, when newspapers could get away with spinning the news and no one could call them on it? Ah, those were the days before the rise of the Internet(s), when liberals owned whatever they wanted to make news, and none would be the wiser. Case in point Shortly before the first […]

Senate: Cap And Tax? Yeah, Not So Much

You remember what Obama stated about cap and trade, right? You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.
