Obama: If You Think I Screwed Up On
the BP Disaster, You’re Just Ignorant

He went to Columbia University and Harvard Law, which means he’s umpteen zillion times smarter than you are: “Those who think that we were either slow in our responses or lacked urgency don’t know the facts. This has been our highest priority since this crisis occurred,” Obama said during a rare news conference in the […]

Los Angeles Republican Party Wins Lawsuit Against Ron Paul Supporters

Taking over a county-level Republican Party isn’t really that hard. In most places, if you’ve got a core group of five or six smart organizer/activists who really know what they’re doing, you can oust the incumbent party leadership within a year. Since 2008, supporters of Ron Paul have done this in many counties, and there are a […]

If You Were Floating In The
Abstract Symbol Space Surrounding
His Head, You Would Know

by Smitty John at Power Line asks “Why Bother?” to the 1,200 National Guard troops deployed to Arizona. These troops will, apparently, filter out all of the drugs and guns coming across the border. Lawyers and money, apparently, not so much. The point of all of this is not to do anything effective. (The deployment, […]

However, Dan Riehl raises the hackles a bit: Think of it as sort of a dispensation for all Right wing homophobes. We will resume our guilt free fag hating again tomorrow; […]

The Right Needs To Extend The Olive Branch To The Left

by Smitty Inspired by this photo and post over at iOwnTheWorld, allow me to share a thought. No, I’m not about to scuttle principles, espouse Brooksian centrism or go totally Charles Johnson on you. Rather, consider that there are a number of people who sort of know that they’ve been duped by the Left, but […]

VIDEO: Carolina Sex God in TV Interview

Always reluctant to speak to the media about his shagadelic mojo, Will Folks gives an interview to WCBD-TV: He rehashes the “protect my family” excuse, which has never made any sense at all. How would a media revelation of an affair be more hurtful to Folks’ family than his self-exposure? He reminds me of the […]

Why We Hate Gresham Barrett

In case you haven’t been following the Folks-Haley saga — and really, this blog is 24/7 Folks-Haley lately — remember that it was supporters of Rep. Gresham Barrett, who’s running for governor of South Carolina, who were reportedly pushing the rumor about Nikki Haley. Why would Barrett’s people seize on that sleaze? Because Haley is kicking […]
