No One Remembers Barack Obama From Columbia

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

An email is going around with this as the content: NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA Looking for evidence of Obama’s past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him. Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who […]

 

Cindy Shehag Still Spreading Patriotic Cheer

Posted on by Dave Blount

Cindy Sheehan was the darling of the liberal media establishment, before it dumped her for its new love, Barack Hussein Obama. But she’s still out there promoting the progressive agenda. Here she displays her respect for a veteran: This sordid scene occurred at Travis Air Force Base on Saturday. Videotape of the incident shows that […]

 

Chairman Zero Falls Flat With Arabs

Posted on by Dave Blount

Of all the annoying bumper sticker bleats that Obamunists subject us to, the most absurd is their cherished notion that letting a sophomoric community activist moonbat play president will “restore America’s standing in the world.” America’s standing didn’t need restoration, although it will before this tragic farce is over with. But everyone likes us now, […]

 

Obama Knew The Crashers? He Met Them Before

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

In case you missed it this weekend… Is there more to this story? The Anchoress thinks so. Gateway Pundit has more details about how the Crashers are buddies with Obama’s buddy terrorist-loving Rashid Khalidi. Anyway, American Power has more. I just wanted you guys to know that there might be more story behind the fame-grabbing […]

 

Obama: King of All Statists

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Almost 40% of William Howard Taft’s cabinet officials were from the private sector. Ike had nearly 60% of his appointees sporting private sector experience. Reagan had about 55% and George W. Bush about 53%. Even FDR and Truman had half their cabinet officials with private sector experience. And Obama? Less than 10%. That means that […]

 

Andrew Sullivan Begins The Week Doing Another Sarah Palin Gynecological Exam

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Andrew Sullivan, is, in a word, tedious: I’ve emailed Bellow asking him about the fact-checking process for “Going Rogue.” Getting an on-the-record confirmation that, for example, Harper Collins reviewed the medical records proving Palin’s multiple medical stories (including corrected hospital records by her own account) would be a useful piece of information. Since it appears […]

Bringing new meaning to sleazy

Posted on by Ron Coleman

This advertising campaign is, well, bad. Very, very bad. There is a certain irony, though, you know. The defense representation being offered here is in fact completely legitimate — n0t only to sleazeballs, slime and creeps, who are constitutionally entitled to their defense (just not by me), but to people involved in all sorts of […]

 

Global Warming: Faith, Reason and the Temple Cult of Scientism

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

Devastating revelations about the bogus science of the climate-change fanatics inspired me Saturday to reflect on the Temple Cult of Scientism: The High Priests perform their statistical rituals and the cultists genuflect reverently before their idol, Science. Today’s latest news — that the original data which generated the global-warming thesis were long ago destroyed — […]

The letter accused the city of […]

 

Role of ACLU Decisive in Moving KSM Trial to New York

Posted on by John Stephenson

Originally written for PJM: Crossposted from STACLU: Eric Holder called his decision to try the suspected plotters of 9/11 in New York City “the toughest decision I’ve had to make as attorney general.” It was unarguably the most controversial one. In my opinion, it was also the stupidest one. The decision has rightly received plenty […]

 

Pumping Celebrity, White House Publishes Dinner-Crasher Pics on Flickr: Yet, Tareq and Michaele Security Breach a Major Blow to Obama Administration

Posted on by Donald Douglas

The mainstream press is right to note the major implications of Tuesday night’s security breach at the White House state dinner.

First I’ll lay out my main principles… Leave me alone Stop taxing me Shove your regulations […]

 

Well you’ve obviously never been in an argument with my wife, then.

Kirk — the brash young Starfleet officer who became a brash old Starfleet officer who refuses to accept defeat no matter the odds. […]

 

This Week In Quotes: Nov 20 – Nov 26

Posted on by John Hawkins

No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems– of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind. — Michael Barone What a good country or a good […]
