The Internet Finds Its True Worth

Behold: The Really Truly Hillary Gallery.

October 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Randi Rhodes wasn’t mugged. Michelle Malkin has a roundup of the left’s bigoted overreactions and hate-filled hystrionics about the ‘right wing thugs’ and ‘neocon brownshirts’ that…um…er…weren’t.
One could be forgiven for expecting that, having embarrassed themselves with this sad little episode, those on the left might stop and ponder what it was that led them into such foolishness. It seems a little [...]

Tax a Better Denver!

October 11th, 2007 · No Comments

From his high throne at City Hall, King John Hickenlooper has declared that the kingdom needs more money.
