Because this is the kind of vindictive bitch that I am

In this post I propose that conservative organizations and wealthy conservatives put their wallets together and provide Robert Stacy McCain with a VERY prosperous and steady income so he can focus full-time on the conservative networking and mentoring of conservative bloggers he does through his blog, The Other McCain. I wrote it 10 days ago …

'The Economist' parched by blast from 'Hot Air'; plus, did A.I.G. became the face of capitalism as Obama applied Saul Alinsky's Rule 12?

H/T Michelle Malkin The Economist endorsed Obama for president and now is having buyers’ remorse, apparently in the hope of salvaging some of its credibility given the all-consuming, prosperity-sucking black hole socialist coup Obama’s presidency has turned out to be in just two months. Ed Morrissey blasts their tardy admission of misgivings at Hot Air …

Spector saves secret ballot for workers in Senate squeaker today — says he's squishy on the principle, though, and next time his vote goes to the side that 'makes me an offer I can't refuse'

“Card check” is name of a proposed law that would take the secret ballot away from the employees of an organization who are voting whether to unionize. Instead, the employees would vote publicly, or union representatives — the most dainty, petite, soft-spoken and compassionate ones, no doubt — would be sent around to beat up …

Black Panthers' bomb almost killed my father and me 39 years ago today

My father and I came within five-to-10 minutes of being killed by a Black Panthers’ bomb that detonated in the car of the bombers just after they crossed Tollgate Road at Route 1 in Bel Air, Maryland. The bombers were on their way out of town because their intended target, the Bel Air Courthouse, where …

Is Obama's mandatory 'voluntary' public service corps the slippery slope to the Weathermen's vision of re-education death camps?

I came upon this story at I Saw the Right, which may have gotten the illustration above from Six Meat Buffet. Protein Wisdom picked it up from Weasel Zippers, which got it from World Net Daily News, as quoted below. The idea in my headline that Obama’s mandatory “volunteer” corps is a slippery slope to the …

You learn the most interesting things about Obama at HillBuzz

I dearly love those nice young gay men at HillBuzz and read them every day. They poured out their hearts and bank accounts and traveled to many states campaigning for McCain/Palin, so show some respect, please. Since they live in Chicago and know Obama from WAY back, they regularly provide the most interesting details on …

Picture of Dorian Obama

I met Ed Morrissey of Hot Air at Bloggers Row at CPAC for the first time today and I have to say he is a scholar and a gentleman. He asked me how I first started on the path from liberalism to conservatism and I promised him I would write a post on this part …

The enemy at the gate

My father attended the University of California at Berkeley in the 1930’s and early 40’s studying nuclear physics from undergrad through Ph.D. under Robert Oppenheimer and Ernest Lawrence with Nobel laureate Emilio Segre as his doctoral thesis advisor. His family lived near the university so he took the tram for seven cents, or walked a …

Why ridicule is Obama's Kryptonite

I remember when I was in high school (1967 to 1971) my father’s great enthusiasm for the books of Eric Hoffer, the longshoreman philosopher and author of The True Believer. Dad’s copy is next to my keyboard now and I see it is dated “April 4, 1970,” so he bought it when he was about …

Ruh-roh! It's bad karma not to link to Little Miss Attila!

I have a routine of blogs I check every day and Little Miss Attila is on it. Why, just last night, when Cuban Diva BFF was depressed after an argument with her mother and called to be cheered up, I immediately enfolded her in the bosom of Little Miss Attila, by which I mean I …
