Stacy McCain asks, ‘Why does Ann Althouse refuse to own up to being a rube?’

It’s a fair question. And dear Stacy was and is right, right, right, while Prof. Althouse was and is wrong, wrong, wrong. Here’s what Prof. Althouse wrote that set dear Stacy off — and gave me a big enough shot of adrenalin that I’m up past my bedtime writing about it, too: This is how …

Obama tosses crumb to lesbian and gay federal employees to dissipate the momentum of gay equality efforts

Well, that’s MY take on Obama’s motives. June is Gay Pride month, which Obama observed last year by tossing an even smaller crumb to gay and lesbian employees. He’s not trying the same gambit this year that he used successfully last year, though — he trumpeted a list of benefits gay and lesbian federal employees …

WaPo reporter fakes own death to escape Obama filibuster

Oh, all right, not really. But the last time I remember the Washington Post quoting a president at length, it was when George Herbert Walker Bush was running for his second term against Bill Clinton. Pres. Bush had undiagnosed Grave’s disease, which makes your thoughts race, and he could not speak in coherent paragraphs. Anyway, …

UPDATED Handy review of Obama's lies from 2008 to the present

I was thinking this week that it is a pity no one is keeping a Web site or page listing Obama’s lies. It would require a considerable staff — maybe dear Andrew Breitbart would consider adding “Big Lie” to his stable of “Big” blogs (Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism) — but it is a …

Obama is a sociopath and ridicule is his Kryptonite

moar funny pictures Most of the action here over the last few days, in terms of traffic, has been for a post I wrote last February about ridicule being Obama’s Kryptonite (see below for the link). It was relevant to a post Jonah Goldberg wrote at National Review Online’s “The Corner” about Obama having a …

Photo proof Ellie Light is real — AND, she's written to Little Miss Attila

Well, the Right blogosphere is all aflutter today — Ellie Light is real! We have found her Facebook photo (above), AND she has written identical missives to Little Miss Attila, Dan Riehl (here and here) and other bloggers all proclaiming her reality and scathingly deriding the Right’s skepticism that she exists. Well, Obama got into …

UPDATED — Obama's 'Enabling Act' trial balloon

Ever since Obama was elected I’ve had the feeling that the organizing principle of his agenda is to destroy America as a capitalist democratic republic in slow motion with such a barrage of debt bombs, government intrusion, weakening of our military, dissolution of border enforcement, stagnation, confusion and fear that Congress would cede its powers …

A progressive's anti-Obama epic rant

Thanks to Instapundit for linking an anti-Obama epic rant by progressive political science professor David Michael Green — apparently, it smarts something fierce when the Kool-Aid wears off (boldfacing mine): Like any good progressive, I’ve gone from admiration to hope to disappointment to anger when it comes to this president. Now I’m fast getting to …

That was a lot of snow

Two feet of snow fell here on Saturday and I spent most of Sunday digging out the walkway and driveway. Then I spent the rest of Sunday and today recovering. However, I did read up a bit today on the Senate’s vote on the healthcare reform bill. I agree with the rants on HillBuzz — …
