hope everyone tooting the giant stimulus plan and health care reform horns will take a moment to consider some reality. Things aren’t good.
Jobs are being created and saved in places that don’t even exist . Does anyone even now where all the money is going and what it’s effects [...]
I’m convinced the Republican Party has shot itself in the foot so many times they don’t even feel it anymore. Embarrassing:
The Republican National Committee will no longer offer employees an insurance plan that covers abortion after POLITICO reported Thursday that the anti-abortion RNC’s policy has covered the procedure since [...]
…what, then, is the remedy? I personally do not view it as such; slavery really was almost a secondary issue when the Civil War started, as it became much more about state sovereignty. It is not as if what was left of the United States at the time embraced African-Americans, [...]
Jimmy Carter just emailed to remind everyone to keep your sweaters handy:
People were gloomier about the direction of the country than in October. They disapproved of Obama’s handling of the economy a bit more than before. And, perhaps most striking for the commander in chief, more people have lost [...]
Via the WSJ, a liberal advocate for health care reform unmasks the truth behind the effort:
What is really unfolding, I suspect, is the scenario that many conservatives feared. The Obama Administration, like the Bush Administration before it (and many other Administrations before that) is creating a new entitlement [...]
You know, he’s right…that’s always a bad idea. So who are the extremists the President of the United States is referring to? Quiz time! Are they:
a) Apparent Muslim fanatics like Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who before murdering 13 of his fellow brothers-in-arms apparently tried to contact [...]
The vote was a razor-thin 220-215 (218 was the minimum needed); 39 very bright Democrats voted no, while one lone Republican voted Yea (Joseph Cao-LA, who has virtually no chance of holding onto his seat next fall anyway in his strongly Democrat district). Of course, his vote will mean the [...]
Rising a mere .4% from last month as the economy shed more jobs than expected:
Counting those who have settled for part-time jobs or stopped looking for work, the unemployment rate would be 17.5 percent, the highest on records dating from 1994 .
The jobless rate rose from 9.8 percent in [...]
I mentioned a week or two ago that I started the c25k running program. Other than thinking I would die the first week it’s been lots of fun. If anyone is thinking of taking up jogging this is a great way to do it. It starts you out nice [...]
I’m seeing a lot of disappointment, bitterness, and even surprise at the result of the 26th district race. The first two are understandable…after all, conservatives and Republicans felt the same things last November, in ‘06, in ‘05, etc. I’m not sure I understand the surprise though. Again, that was rated [...]
I have to admit, I’m surprised at the margin of victory. I guess those insane SurveyUSA polls showing a 19-point GOP edge were right on the money.
Anyway, did it go the way you thought? Any races surprise you?
[...]Finally. Feel free to share for whom you voted, and why, if you’d like. Are you expecting any surprises in the state/local races? I doubt there will be much suspense this evening regarding the Virginia results, if recent polls are any indication, but who knows. It’ll be interesting to [...]
Often times when the topic of abortion comes up someone will always jump in and say, “There isn’t any use talking about it because everyone’s mind is already made up and won’t change.”
I think that really is code for “Please stop now before you show me or tell me [...]
Crazy, I know. But, I guess if anyone is more deserving of a hard-to-find vaccine than you & your family,* it is certainly the fine folks at Gitmo. Little darlings, I hope they’re managing OK.
Say…what in the world is Gitmo still doing open, anyway?
*Someone can have my dose. [...]
Governor: McDonnell over Deeds
1. McDonnell says he supports banning taxpayer funded research that destroy human embryos.
2. He says he supports eliminating state funding for abortions.
3. He says he supports improving our eminent domain law to protect private citizens.
4. He is appears to prefer finding funding options [...]
… you don’t get the memo?
“Democrats don’t need instructions or “endorsements” to tell them how to vote. That’s a Republican thing. Big difference people.” Bubby Hussein, Hillbilly Sheikh
The Justice Department’s ruling, which affects races for City Council and mayor, went so far as to say partisan elections are [...]
After the trash talking on some blogs concerning Lohr not showing up to answer questions you can imagine my surprise when I looked through the Official Virginia Voter Guide put out by the Family Foundation and saw that it appears that every democrat in the state declined to answer questions [...]
Ahh, nothing like the sheer audacity of lying straight through one’s pearly whites, eh? Oh, I’m well aware that they’ve got lots of nifty charts and graphs and numbers on the Porkulus propaganda website which purport to show proof of this job extravaganza, but last night CBS News [...]
Hey, remember that whole equal treatment under the law thing? Yeah, me neither:
President Obama on Wednesday signed a law that makes it a federal crime to assault an individual because of his or her sexual orientation or gender identity.
The expanded federal hate crimes law, hailed by supporters as the [...]
Meet your leader.
Perhaps I can clear things up for you boys (and girls) to a point of understanding for you so you can easily comprehend.
I do not separate my self from what Bubby says.
I truly think he is accurate.
Buy a clue, buy a hint…
I view you [...]
Obama held a rally with Creigh Deeds and Tim Kaine (D-VA Gov. in absentia) yesterday afternoon in Norfolk, hoping to drag the Democrat candidate’s badly-trailing arse across the finish line. Will it work? Not likely:
The Deeds campaign and the White House have gone back-and-forth over whether the president [...]
A look at where the Virginia Governor’s race stands, one week from Election Day:
The Washington Post, press arm for the Deeds campaign, released its final poll on the governor’s race. If there is a silver lining for Deeds, it must be that he’s down by only 11:
McDonnell holds double-digit [...]
…that Creigh Deeds looks kinda like Al Bundy?
[...]As part of my swine flu avoidance program, I will no longer be doing my shopping on Saturday morning as I used to. It’s much more crowded than other days. Which means more chance of germs.
I won’t miss the groups that set up at Wal*Mart’s doors every Saturday trying [...]
The writing, as they say, is on the wall:
A senior administration official said Deeds badly erred on several fronts, including not doing a better job of coordinating with the White House. “I understood in the beginning why there was some reluctance to run all around the state with Barack [...]
I’ve mentioned the White House war with Fox News before, and I do so again only because I’m struck by how completely idiotic the whole thing is. This morning, President Obama echoed his advisors in declaring Fox wasn’t really a “news” organization:
Allow me to channel Keith Olbermann for [...]
Even I have trouble believing this spread, but take a look at the last several polls on this race (via RealClearPolitics):
SurveyUSA 10/17 - 10/19 59 40 McDonnell +19
Clarus Research 10/18 - 10/19 49 41 McDonnell +8
Rasmussen Reports 10/12 - 10/12 50 43 McDonnell +7
Virginian-Pilot/CNU 10/8 - 10/13 45 31 McDonnell +14
Mason-Dixon 10/6 - 10/8 48 40 McDonnell +8
Washington Post 10/5 - 10/7 53 44 McDonnell +9

1. Weeks ago I read an article stating that our country has never been so divided. I wish I had book marked it. I believe it is correct.
2. Most of the Liberals* I know seem very angry and bitter. This doesn’t make much sense, since they won the White [...]
This story is getting shadier by the hour. Call me a cynic, but we should’ve expected as much from a family that actually appeared on Wife Swap:
A publicity stunt might help explain why, after such a harrowing episode, they were willing to sit down for a Q & A [...]
So who’s still got their name on Rockdem?

A six-year-old boy is reportedly stranded in a helium balloon floating over the US state of Colorado, in a drama broadcast by TV stations.
The mushroom-shaped silver balloon, apparently made by the boy’s father, reportedly reached heights of 7,000ft.
Live feed is here.
Update: Balloon has finally landed…and is [...]
Since I care more about my country than my personal pride, here’s how I lost my insurance: I moved. That’s right, I moved from Washington, D.C., back to Massachusetts, a state with universal health care.
In D.C., I had a policy with a national company, [...]
Ripped from Drudge, the tale of a woman who claims to have terminated 15 pregnancies in 17 years:
She claimed she had the abortions so her husband wouldn’t leave her although she failed to reveal whether he knew of the terminations.
‘Of course, this did not mean I wanted to [...]
Chris Wallace was right. They really are nothing but crybabies:
Good lord. Yeah, CNN is a great model to follow, especially when they’re taking the time to fact-check SNL skits on the One’s behalf. Regardless, keep in mind that the Obama administration is now using taxpayer dollars to attack [...]
My suspicion is that they’ve just discovered their inner racist and can no longer resist the urge to hate on a black man, but admittedly that’s just a working theory at this point:
Mr. Obama has of course been a puzzle to comedians for some time. They agonized during the [...]
And, I’m just getting word that he’s been handed the yellow jersey for the Tour De France, the NBA’s Larry O’Brien trophy, and the blue ribbon in his local Pillsbury bake-off. Unlike what I just wrote, what is actually funny is the fact Arizona State University not that long ago [...]
I guess this means you guys can expect some pro-Hamas and Islamic Jihad posts from me shortly. I’ll get right on that:
“The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists - the Taliban and Hamas this morning - in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace [...]
Are you kidding me? As the Drudge Report blares, for what? First Jimmah Carter, then Al Gore…now this:
For one of America’s youngest presidents, in office less than nine months — and only for 12 days before the Nobel nomination deadline last February — it was an enormous honor.
The prize [...]
On a recent visit to New York, White House adviser David Axelrod met over coffee with Roger Ailes, the president of the Fox News Network, which President Obama has described as a “television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration.”…
Though White House aides are hesitant [...]
My head hurts from the idiocy:
In a call with reporters, Deeds senior adviser Mo Elleithee said that the Democratic state senator has never had a stutter diagnosis but that many in the disability community had been offended by Johnson.
“He sometimes stumbles over his words. He’s spoken that way his [...]
God forbid a comedy show goof on Obama, right? Leave it to the lib media to come running to his rescue:
Good grief. Did you catch the whining about how it wasn’t kind, or a “fair” portrayal? Who the hell cares? It’s just a dumb sketch on Saturday Night Live, but [...]
One thing is certain…here is one person you’ll never mistake for a rocket scientist:
A woman was arrested after police discovered a teenager inside a cardboard box on the roof of a vehicle.
Jackie Denise Knott charged told police she had a good reason. Albertville police said the mother told them [...]
By contrast, national Democrats are growing more worried about their prospects in Virginia.
While there has been little polling other than by automated surveys, the race is seen as similarly competitive as in New Jersey –the difference is that Deeds is not moving in the same [...]
…ahh, who cares. I haven’t watched the Olympics in years and don’t intend to start now, even if Chicago is indeed granted the games. I don’t believe they’re worth the hassle, either, nevermind the fact that such events are prone to corruption besides. However, I have been monitoring [...]
Through the magic of Twitter…sanity:
JUST FOR THE RECORD….RAPE IS RAPE…this is one HOLLYWOOD STAR who does not CELEBRATE or DEFEND Roman Polanski..his ART did not RAPE her
To what is the former Cheers star referring to? In 1977, then-45 year old Polanski drugged, raped, and sodomized a 13-year old girl [...]
Perhaps the man with the plan to have a plan needs another, er, plan:
PPP (A Democrat polling firm)- McDonnell 48, Deeds 43
Survey USA- McDonnell 55, Deeds 41
Rasmussen- McDonnell 51, Deeds 42
Who knows what’ll happen in a month, but what’s interesting at this point-to me, [...]
Aww, how sweet. No wonder Obama wants to extend the school day…imagine the songs we’d get to hear if they had more time to practice:
Performed at a PTA meeting, in case you’re curious. Its admittedly less creepy than the last video I posted here, but I’m at a loss [...]
