Why Conservatism Has Lost the Internet

September 22nd, 2007 · 5 Comments

Steve H. at Hog On Ice explains why we went from ‘owning’ the blogosphere to being outmatched by the fringe left-o-sphere in only a few years:
If [Andrew "Don't tase me, bro!" Meyer] were conservative, other conservatives in high places would ignore him and wait for him to go away. Partly because he’s a boob, but [...]

Green Eggs and Ham(mered)

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments

It appears my favorite Massachusetts senior senator is having discussions with publishers about writing a book on his, ahem, career.  I didn’t realize it, but he’s already written two books – one of which is, quite appropriately, for children.  When asked about content, a Kennedy adviser said, “It’s premature to even describe the book. It [...]

DREAM of the Living Dead

September 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Just as I predicted, the amnesty bill is back from the dead. Or at least one tentacle of it, the DREAM Act of 2007, which opponents are up in arms about because it reportedly permits illegal aliens to obtain in-state tuition. I’m no Congressman (thank heavens) but it seems to go beyond that to offer a form [...]

Your Health or Your Freedom

September 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Looks like Hillary! is trying to one-up John Edwards’ call for mandatory regular medical and mental health checkups by requiring everyone to have health insurance…or starve:
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that a mandate requiring every American to purchase health insurance was the only way to achieve universal health care but she rejected the notion of [...]

All’s Fair in Love and Culture Wars

September 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Fair?  I hate that word.  I really and truly do.  It covers all manner of sins, and - as I have opined before - truly disgusting behavior is covered up by parading it under the flag of ‘Fair’, a word few people want to tangle with.
Lately, there have been several kerfuffles in the press over [...]

Knock it off, already

September 18th, 2007 · No Comments

The Congress of the United States sticks largely to a uniform of pin-striped, rep-striped, double-breasted, Windsor-knotted flag pin and fake smile wearing conformity. They shop at special Capitol Hill boutiques where men’s suits are only available in black and navy and the women’s suits all have 1986 style huge shoulder pads. This look [...]

High Performance Hybrids

Whoa - officers stop 17-year-old girl going 107 mph in a Prius! 
It must have been going downhill.  I’m not sure whether we should call the Reverend Gore or NASCAR.

Who loves bargains?

September 13th, 2007 · No Comments

Most of you have seen, or at least heard about the full-page NYT ad purchased earlier this week by the deep-pocketed leftist group MoveOn.org. You know the one. It was the advertisement where these liberals called one of our American Generals, in a time of war, a liar and traitor.
Trash. Reprehensible trash.
What I find fascinating [...]

Yeah, he fooled me too.

Do you get it? You see what they did there? They used a play on words to cleverly highlight their dim-wittedness.
Heh.
