Gregory “Pappy” Boyington was born on this day in 1912. Pappy was a Marine Corps fighter pilot during World War 2, being awarded our nation’s highest medal, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Boyington also served in the American Volunteer Group, the Flying Tigers, during the lead-up to the u.S. [...]
Captain’s Log, Stardate, oh, wait, that’s pajama boy stuff.
I was at my usual spot at the bar in Quark’s Place when Quark came up with my first round of Guinness with a tribble sweat chaser. He looked like he wanted to tell me something pretty badly.
“Okay, Quark, spill it. What’s [...]
I’ve been unaware of the comparisons between Mr. Spock of Star Trek and Barack Obama until this week. Obama is like Spock? Go figure! Obama is a science geek? On what basis do they come to that conclusion?
Okay, disclaimer time. I’ve never liked Spock. He has always been my least [...]
How many Congressional Districts does your state have? According to Barack Obama’s “where’s the money” website at recovery.gov, a lot more than you think.
I have Chris Baker of KTLK-FM to thank for the inspiration for this piece. On my drive into work I heard him discussing how well the [...]
November 16, 2009, is a day to remember. It is the day that the national debt broke the $12 Trillion mark. That’s right, TWELVE TRILLION DOLLAR. This means that the national debt has grown faster and bigger under Obama than under any of his predecessors. How’s that for change?
Since [...]
Obama has yet another Political Failure to contend with. Until Obama, no President of the United States has bowed to a foreign leader, or to anyone. Obama took heat earlier this year for bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, which his flacks tried to pass of as something about [...]
I’ve been “missing in action” for most of November, trying to figure out what I want to write for nanowrimo, and missing out writing on too many current events.
The Obama Administration has determined that Khalid Sheik Mohammad, mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, will be tried in a criminal court in [...]
Captain’s Log, Stardate…oh, wait, that’s Pajama Boy stuff.
I was over at Quark’s for Happy Hour and catching up on the news. As always, the main screen was tuned to Targ News. Quark angled over to where I was sitting at the bar with my first round of Guinness with a [...]
From the realm of the unbelievable, Obama is now being proclaimed to be the greatest writer since Julius Caesar. This, of course, is according to Rocco Landesman, chaiman of the National Endowment of Propaganda, I mean, Arts, an Obama appointee. Is he nuts? Probably. Nuts about Obama, anyway.
The [...]
It was only a matter of time before an organization (other than the Democratic Party) would garner a Moonbat Award. Congratulations to the folks at rescuemarriage.org, you’ve won the coveted Moonbat Award for the following video that demonizes mainstream Americans and marriage.
With lines like “You said ’til death do us [...]
I got a laugh out of the piece “Conservatives Roar; Republicans Tremble” by Vandehei and Allen over on Politico. It’s good reading, but misses the mark on what is happening between the Republican leadership and the conservative base.
Many top Republicans are growing worried that the party’s chances for [...]
Michelle Malkin has asked the question: “Can the Republican establishment hear conservatives now?” in regards to GOP support of the hard-Left “Republican” Dede Scozzafava. Unfortunately, I think the answer is “No”. The GOP would rather be French. By that I mean, the GOP is happy if they can beat other [...]
I can hear him now, sitting in the Oval Office, whispering to himself, “Oh Constitution, how I violate thee, let me count the ways…” When Obama was sworn into office, that included an oath to uphold the Constitution and our laws, all of them, not just the ones he thinks [...]
I am finding that this 1948 Cold War video is as relevant today as it was 60 years ago, especially when we have admitted Marxists being appointed to jobs in the Obama Administration, including Anita Dunn, who admits that one of her two favorite philosophers is Chairman Mao (mass-murdering dictator [...]
I can’t believe what I am reading today in the news. Barack Obama has agreed, in principle, to allow Russian weapons inspectors into our nuclear missile bases. No mention is made in the article that the U.S. would be able to inspect and count their missiles and warheads. The Obama [...]
On this snow-covered Monday in October, we’re getting off to an early start for Moonbat Awards, the latest one going to Democratic National Committee communications director Brad Woodhouse for his claim that anyone making jokes about Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is siding with terrorists, the Taliban, and Hamas.
From [...]
When I woke up this morning and listened to the news, I thought it must be April 1st as I listened to an announcement that Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize has been highly politicized for years, destroying what credibility it still had when it [...]
From the realm of the unbelievable, also known as Minnesota, Robert Pohlad, son of the late Karl Pohlad (and owner of the Twins), is hosting a fundraising event asking $7,600 per person to meet non-other than Smokin’ Sloe Joe Biden. Yep, that’s right, seventy-six hundred smackers and you can [...]
Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York is working hard to eanr the coveted Moonbat Award with his take on the increased surveillance in his city.
From the New York Times:
Asked Sunday about criticism of the increased surveillance, Mr. Bloomberg said: “We live in a world where we have to have [...]
The Great Decision by Cliff Sloan and David McKean is a highly engaging book about the early days of the United States and the Supreme Court. It is more than an analysis of the decision in Marbury v. Madison; it is a history of the early days of Washington D.C., [...]
Wow, it must really be tough being First Lady of the United States. Michelle Obama jets off to Denmark, calling it a “sacrifice” that she is willing to make, in order to lobby for the Olympic Games 2016 being held in Chicago. How much of MY money was “sacrificed” to [...]
There is no doubt in my mind that Switzerland should immediately deport the child rapist Roman Polanski to the United States. I haven’t had much time to write about this issue, and my outrage over Hollywood’s continued support of this sick bastard is disgusting. Now I learn there are a [...]
Sometimes I think I need to have a “Dishonest Sick Bastard Award” to go along with the Moonbat Award. But that could be redundant. And brings up the question as to whether or not a recipient would have to be a bastard child like Obama or would anybody be okay. [...]
I just took a look at the House roll call vote for defunding ACORN. I am surprised that 75 Democrats voted in opposition of defunding this organization. When looking at the numbers, it is unsurprising that TWO of these representatives are from Minnesota: Keith Ellison (CD2) and Betty McCollum [...]
Some days, I would really like to know how some of these idiots ever got elected. Okay, in one case, I know how, but seriously, how do these Moonbats get elected?
Former President Jimmy Carter is in the news yet again, proclaiming that activists protesting ObamaCare (or whatever you want to [...]
I am shocked, surprised, stunned, and maybe a few other things, to learn that Barack Obama, aka Dances With Terrorists, has actually done something right.
No, I am not talking about Health Care reform or the economy. There he is still a clueless Moonbat. Nor am I referring to Afghanistan or [...]
I seem to recall that when Sarkozy was first elected President of France that he was ushering in some form of conservative revival in that country and that maybe it would be okay to buy French wine again. Wrongo!
Sarkozy is now calling for a carbon tax on imports into the [...]
It is hard to believe that it is now 8 years after that fateful day on which thousands of innocent people fell victim to the hateful fanatics led by Osama bin Ladin. Eight years. Seems like a long time, but the images of the jet air liners crashing into the [...]
Montel Williams is Moonbatting a death wish for a Congressman, in this case the highly outspoken Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota.
Bachmann, earlier this week, said that we should form a pact and “slit our wrists and become blood brothers” in a stand against ObamaCare. Okay, she bungled the analogy. Ya don’t [...]
Just ran across this tidbit on FoxNews
A Democratic push to appoint a successor to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy is sparking a political tempest in Massachusetts, infuriating Republicans and dividing Democrats who only five years ago passed a law requiring that voters decide on Senate vacancies.
The State law is clear [...]
Every day in Iraq and Afghanistan, soldiers in the Coalition that brought freedom to those two countries make the ultimate sacrifice for the country they serve and in defense of Liberty.
Today I read about the lost of four British soldiers who lost their lives during Operation Panther’s Claw, a campaign [...]
Remember all those months ago when San Fran Nan, Moonbat of the House, proclaimed that if the bailouts were not passed, 500 Million Americans would lose their jobs? It looks like we’re well on track for achieving that bench mark, even though she really meant 500,000 workers. Since the passage [...]
Ted Kennedy passed away yesterday. He had been battling a brain tumor for some time now. He was 77.
I’d like to say something nice about the Senator from Massachusetts, but what to say?
Kennedy served in the U.S. Army after being expelled from Harvard for cheating on a Spanish test.
He was [...]
My long-time buddy, Richard, from San Diego ran across this video of H.K. Edgerton in Ringgold, Georgia.
He has a lot to say about the Confederate Battle Flag, political correctness, and historical correctness. The man is brilliant.
H.K., if you run across my post, please, keep up your fine work in helping [...]
As the debate on health care reform, and ObamaCare in particular, continues and escalates, the Democrats and their supporters have taken to referring to those who oppose current legislation as being “Fascists” and that the tactics that they are using are “fascistic” and reminiscent of Weimar, Germany.
The tactics that protesters [...]
I laid Tasha to rest on Saturday.
She had been suffering from arthritis for some time, but we didn’t know to what extent. Early last month, the folks at the pet clinic we go to took some new x-rays. They spotted the worst case of arthritis they had ever seen in [...]
Okay, there’s really been a lot more than 23, but things have been rather chaotic on my end.
Yet another Political Failure for President Obama. In his most recent Town Hall, attempting to “sell” Americans on socializing health care, he first asserts that IF the public option has to operate without [...]
Stardate, oh wait, that’s pajama boy talk.
It had been a while since I last visited Quark’s Place, and I was definitely overdue for some Guinness and Tribble Sweat.
The crowd on the promenade was larger than usual, and more boisterous. These silly humans were waving signs that read things like “I [...]
I’ve been filtering through H.R. 3200, the Health Care Reform Bill, popularly refered to as ObamaCare. Normally legislation makes for good bed time reading - it helps puts me to sleep. Not this time. Reading it keeps me awake at nights. When I do fall asleep, I end up waking [...]
By now, most people has heard about the White House initiative to have a Stasi-like “report on your neighbor” program on alleged misinformation about the Health Care Reform bill (H.R. 3200) to White House staff. Many people have taken the view that Obama is building an enemies list, just [...]
It’s been a while since I have done one of these, but Steven Pearlstein has proven himself more than worthy for the illustrious Moonbat Award for his column in which he refers to patriotic Americans who voice their opposition to ObamaCare as being “political terrorists.” Yep, that’s right, in his [...]
I heard about this story while listening to Greg and Melissa on KS95 this morning. It is a heart-wrenching story that stopped me in my tracks. It is the story of a real American hero, who not only gave his life for his country, but went on to save [...]
Fanfare, please. The day I have been waiting for (and dreading) has arrived.
Barack Obama has succeeded in doing something no other president has ever done. He has successfully added $1 TRILLION to the national debt in just over 6 months in office. This is a feat that took Dubya roughly [...]
The “cash for clunkers” program has run out of money, and Congress wants to put more of OUR hard earned money into the program. How about cutting our taxes and letting us determine how to spend it? Oh, wait, that would be in keeping with the American Ideal of Liberty, [...]
I just can’t resist it. The temptation is too great. Resistance is futile!
Dan Rather has this to say about the current state of media ():
Corporate and political influence on newsrooms, along with the conflation of news and entertainment, has created what Rather called “the dumbing down and sleazing up [...]
It’s time to be clear about a few things if the GOP wants to be taken seriously and regain a majority of seats in either (or both) houses of Congress.
First, if you are a Conservative, Libertarian, Objectivist, Republican, or fill in the blank opponent of the Obama administration, you have [...]
