Yesterday, the stock market fell to a more than five-year low.
Clearly Gene Simmons ringing the opening bell while making the “devil horns” sign didn’t have the intended effect of heating up the market:
Maybe a performance of “Detroit Bailout City” would have helped ease investor fears.
Barack Obama campaigned on bring "change" to business as usual to Washington, D.C. and the majority of his supporters (many of who believe Republicans run Capitol Hill) are probably clueless to the fact that his cabinet picks are partisan insiders and retreads from Democrat administrations past.
Obama is enlisting former Senate leader Tom Daschle as his [...]
While many on the right remember the many quotes attributed to Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, and most recently Chuck Schumer, reciting the need for the revival of the Fairness Doctrine, the left is convinced that we have nothing to fear except fear itself because they would NEVER advocate the practice of squelching speech they disagreed [...]
Let’s see… the CEO’s of the Big Three flew to DC in private jets to beg for our money.
Labor unions continue to endorse the same politicians who Chicken Little the man-made global warming “theory” that’s forcing Detroit to manufacture cars that nobody wants to buy, all based on the ridiculous guesses of financially motivated [...]
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens will not be returning to the Senate. Good. One down, a few dozen to go.
Even though Stevens falls under the umbrella of the Republican Party, I’ll never mourn the end of the career of a six-term congressional lifer who raked in more slapstick “road to…” cash than Bob Hope and Bing [...]
This was only a matter of time, and it WILL spread in the coming years.
A Muslim must try his best to abide by the rulings of Sharia [Islamic law] whenever possible as much as he can. He should not allow himself to be liable to those western laws that contradict the clear-cut Islamic rulings.
— Omar [...]
This is what I get for getting into a Star Trek discussion.
"The Doomsday Machine" was my favorite episode and these remastered versions of the original (and superior) series look like a real winner.
Guess I know what to ask my fiancee for Christmas.
Just where would al Qaeda get this kind of language come from…?
al-Qaida's No. 2 leader used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday, describing the president-elect in demeaning terms that imply he does the bidding of whites.
The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not [...]
Someone need get these people on-message and soon.
What we, as Americans, need be worried about is Obama's version of Constitutional blow-off.
Obama's record of noncooperation and secrecy has now resulted in conspiracy theories that will plague him throughout his administration, if he doesn't address them now with utter transparence. Do I expect him to do so? [...]
The terrorism thing is one issue, but stuff like this is really going to make PC liberals take notice:
Al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri insulted Barack Obama in the terror group’s first reaction to his election, calling him a demeaning racial term implying that the president-elect is a black American who does the bidding of whites.
[...]
Al-Zawahri [...]
The Indian navy shipmates must have had a blast, finally being allowed to sink an enemy.
An Indian navy warship has sunk a Somali pirate "mother ship" in the Gulf of Aden, the world's most treacherous waterway, after the renegades threatened to attack the frigate.
The clash happened as pirates claimed to begin negotiations over a ransom [...]
This one is kinda sad.
WARNING: This is a tear-jerker.
This series of photos is telling the suffering of a poor bird shocked with his partner's fatal injury.
Here his mate is injured and the condition is fatal.
Here he brought her food and attended her with compassion.
He brought her food but shocked to find her dead, [...]
Massachusetts state senator Diane Wilkerson has just been indicted for 8 counts of attempted extortion.
Prosecutors filed a criminal complaint in October alleging Sen. Dianne Wilkerson accepted cash payments between June 2007 and October 2008. The formal grand jury indictment was handed down Tuesday.
The indictment also seeks the forfeiture of the more than $23,500 [...]
Finally an arrogant, misguided Republican comes clean and lets us all know just whom our (at least so we thought) tax dollars belong.
This would have been nice to know prior to the election.
A few years ago, if we thought Johnny Depp-like characters would have the ability to hold the world shipping lanes hostage, we'd be thinking someone got access to the evidence locker.
But the international community now appears hamstrung and unable to stop pirates from seizing ships, but also unable to come up with a gameplan once [...]
I'd hate to have a principle-guided, attack dog attorney (on my side of the aisle) on my trail. I'd just fess up and get him off my case.
Simple as that, right?
The countdown to inauguration is ticking.
I wrote last night about Eric Holder’s poor judgment regarding several matters he dealt with when he was Assistant AG in the Clinton Justice Department. But, as it turns out, poor judgment isn’t his only problem. Eric Holder is also a lying sack of you know what.
One of my favorite Eric Holder stories involves his [...]
I am sure they are. They are more prone to crime. Hispanics born of illegal immigrant parents are in fact much more crime-prone than their parents, who are in turn more crime-prone than non-Hispanic whites. And the hugely disproportionate incidence of crime among blacks is well-known. The ACLU can only [...]
Many people have already contributed to Black & Right and for that, we're extremely grateful.
With that, our site's viewing growth has been phenomenal. As we aren't funded by any George Soros-types (a Rupert Murdoch-type would be nice), we rely on the generosity of our readers. If every one of our visitors contributed ten bucks, we [...]
One of history’s greatest scrotal mysteries may have been solved.
You might have heard tales over the decades that Adolph Hitler had only one testicle. Well, that old story has been as confirmed as it can be.
Hitler was twice as nuts as most other tyrants while having only half as many — no easy feat. [...]
Barack Obama promised us “change we can believe in”. So, who’s he hired for his administration so far? Nothing but former Bill Clinton staffers like John Podesta, Rahm Emanuel, and now Eric Holder, who has just been asked to be Obama’s Attorney General. Change, where’s the change?
U.S. President-elect Barack Obama has conditionally offered Eric Holder [...]
This is starting to get ugly.
Like the election many of us already have our minds made up about this subject. The gay community has asked for a lot and offered nothing in return. There is a lot that the gay community could do to strengthen it's credibility in the black community such as tackle the [...]
And the social value of this interview is…?
The prostitute at the center of the salacious scandal that brought down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and generated national headlines is going to dish on her life as a pricey escort.
And the girl who rose to fame by taking it off for Spitzer she finally put [...]
Sounds like some Henry Waxman-wannabes are sucking up to the incoming Obama Administration.
So much for Obama's election night speech about setting aside the petty partisanship.
What we have here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach…
I guess I did something wrong….
Hi, Bob.
I am a computer software professional with over 40 years in the computer business, so please don't think that what I'm telling you here is nuts.
Earlier today I tried to send some folks an email with a link to this article on your web site: http://www.black-and-right.com/2008/11/09/viral-email-of-the-day-20/#more-11017. I sent that [...]
It’s good to know that our politicians are busy confronting the real threats:
In a closed-door gathering at Gracie Mansion late last month, health experts and food-industry representatives were told about Mayor Bloomberg’s next crusade — an effort to reduce the salt in processed food by 20 percent over the next five years.
City health czar Dr. [...]
Is nothing sacred anymore, or is Hollywood that bankrupt of new ideas?
That was a rhetorical.
Now THIS I can live with…
It’s George Soros (surprise surprise).
Three blocks from the White House, on the 10th floor of a sleek glass building, young workers pound at computers, with giant flat-screen TVs overhead. It has the look and feel of a high-tech startup.
In many ways it is. The product is ideas.
Thanks in part to funding from benefactors such as [...]
While most of our kids have to deal with all that is public education…
Emmy award-winning Actor Joe Pantoliano of “The Sopranos” said despite President-elect Barack Obama’s opposition to school choice for low-income families, the Obama family has “special circumstances” when it comes to where to send his children to school, and they should give their [...]
How could a relatively unknown state legislator become President-Elect in less than three years? You get by with a little help from your friends.
Three blocks from the White House, on the 10th floor of a sleek glass building, young workers pound at computers, with giant flat-screen TVs overhead. It has the look and feel of [...]
