Many Wives Support Husbands For Free

The price of Michelle Obama's harmony.

We knew there were 30,000 reasons she was so good.

Let’s play guess the party!

The mayor of Birmingham, Alabama Larry Langford is now facing multiple federal charges.
Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford was arrested this morning on federal charges and is being held at the federal courthouse, the FBI and other federal officials confirm.
See documents and past stories from the investigation of Langford.

Democrats to tax your health care benefits

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama repeatedly lied  about  John McCain’s health care proposals by claiming  McCain wanted to tax health care benefits.  The truth is that tax on medical insurance premiums would’ve been more than completely offset by a tax break.
Michael Dobbs, Washington Post Fact Checker: “Joe Biden Mischaracterized McCain’s” Health Care Plan. [...]

CNN-ism Of The Day

Another post-election, lower-expectation attempt.
He's already destined to be a historic president - the first African-American. But will Obama be a great one? Even a good one?
The Americans who are comparing him to those remarkable predecessors are putting a lot of faith in a man they barely know.
— CNN Commentary, 11/28/08
A man the American people "barely [...]

Over-Obamatized Naive Media Dipstick of the Day

MSNBC daytime anchor Alex Witt gets the honor.
This is what happens when you overdose on hope and change:
“…it’s interesting [the terrorist attacks in India] because there are many who had such an optimstic and hopeful opinion of things, and you certainly can’t expect things to change [snaps fingers] on a dime overnight, but there are [...]

The “Evolution” Of Barack’s Hillary Selection

Good question; Obama-like answer.

Get ready for four years of blame-the-questioner.

Bonehead Of The Day

Better late than never.
There are many who had such an optimstic and hopeful opinion of things, and you certainly can’t expect things to change [snaps fingers] on a dime overnight, but there are many who suggested that with the outgoing Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration there would be something of a lull in [...]

Charles Rangel’s Gym, and Other Unused Things You Pay For

This just in from the “Your tax dollars at rest” department:
It may look cramped, but while members of Congress are forced to shoehorn office staff and equipment into windowless closets and other tiny corners of the Capitol complex, Rep. Rangel’s taxpayer-funded workout room is just another example of the trappings of his power and seniority [...]

Obama’s Gun Plans

The lamestream media told you:

Nothing, although Sarah Palin and the GOP are trying to decide what to do with her clothes.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Obama’s opening salvo in his war against gun rights has been officially posted on the president-elect’s site — http://change.gov/agenda/urbanpolicy/

The Tiahrt amendment, which prevents every local police and sheriff’s office from [...]

Obama Litmus Test

The lamestream media told you:

Change is coming, change is good, we’ve got to get this country back on track, Obama has said we will “fundamentally transform” the greatest nation on Earth.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Change can be good depending on what the changes are. Changes that “fundamentally transform the greatest nation on Earth” into [...]

Fags Will Never Be Niggers

For years, I've written about liberal fringe groups that seek legitimacy by equating their issues to the black civil rights struggle. What I find interesting with the whole Proposition 8-gay marriage clash is that the very gays who want to be like blacks, now find themselves at odds with a black population that not only [...]

When political correctness gets completely incomprehensible

More British battiness:
“Ministers last year directed councils to use the terms “anti-Islamic activity” and “community resilience” instead of terrorism and extremism, as part of a drive to win over the Muslim community. But the rebranding has spread confusion and is preventing local authorities and public bodies from talking openly about the radicalisation of young [...]

The Ongoing Barackation Of Children

I try and not lower myself to the level of the left. That level includes hate, but when it comes to what they are actively doing to politically innocent children, of which they have unfettered access, anger is growing with every new revelation of indoctrination.
Usually, children's books do not scare me. But I just read [...]

Holder Hates Rights

The lamestream media told you:

Eric Holder has been named as the top choice for U.S. Attorney General, a highly qualified expert with a ton of experience and the first black to ever hold this position. It’s a wonderful day for law and order in the stellar new presidential cabinet.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Did CNN Aid The Mumbai Terrorists?

Sometimes we seem to forget that the so-called Third World has indeed crawled into the information age and some of the things we watch on television, the good and bad guys watch as well.
A South Wales couple caught in the Mumbai terror attacks claimed last night that CNN put their lives at risk by broadcasting [...]

The Youth Honesty Gap

A few years ago while pondering a possible presidential run, Colin Powell gave a speech about the loss of shame in our society. Things have obviously gotten worse since.
— Cheating in school is rampant and getting worse. Sixty-four percent of students cheated on a test in the past year and 38 percent did so two [...]

Criminalizing Climate Change

Another clear example of international leftist bullies who will impose their agenda by way of law enforcement.
A former chairman of the Bar Council is calling for an international court for the environment to punish states that fail to protect wildlife and prevent climate change. Stephen Hockman QC is proposing a body similar to the International [...]

Monday’s Column: A Guns for Cameras Program

Today we’re hitting leadoff on the WorldNetDaily commentary page with a column about the terrorist attack(s) in Mumbai and thoughts on part of the reason why innocent people are targeted and slaughtered, why it will probably happen in America, and how our government helps invite a loss of innocent life.
Give a read to “A gun [...]

Winter Hits the Mitten

Normally I don’t post personal pictures because I don’t want anybody to get that sinking feeling you have when you’re at somebody’s house and they whip out the family photo album, so I beg your forgiveness for just a moment.
We’re getting our first major snowfall of the winter, and I was outside at dusk taking [...]

The Tin Foil Files

It will only be a matter of time that Barack Obama may come to appreciate the more reasonable Republican base to his gimme-gimme, liberal devotees.
UFO enthusiasts are pressing Barack Obama to release classified documents about sightings of alien spacecraft, encouraged by support from within the President-Elect's own White House team.
Desperate to see the US emulate [...]

The T-Word

It's amazing just what this whole Barack Obama birth certificate mess has come down to.
Each member of the Electoral College, who is committed to casting a vote on December 15, 2008, has a constitutional duty to make certain you are a natural-born citizen. As of today, there is no evidence in the public record (nor [...]

Susan Rice: Next UN Ambassador

Here's Barack Obama's red meat for his ravenous left supporters.

Dr. Rice should fit in just fine with the America haters.

Obama And Economic “Climate Change” Suicide

As we know liberals would much rather cast themselves off the Golden Gate Bridge before admitting they were wrong about anything, Barack Obama's committing of the United States to a "climate change" leadership posture should be considered nothing less than economic suicide.
Tomorrow, delegates from 190 countries will meet in Poznan, Poland, to pave the way [...]

Commercial Of The Day

Not the latest, but quite amusing.

Partisan Executive Orders

The lamestream media told you:

“AP — Jesse Jackson Concerned About Bush’s Last Months — The Rev. Jesse Jackson said he is concerned about executive orders from president Bush in his last few months in office and the effect they could have on the incoming administration… he also criticized the federal bailout of the financial industry [...]

Burgeoning Bailout Balderdash

The lamestream media told you:

Experts say our economy must be retooled. Economic leaders are meeting to discuss how to save the economy. The auto industry must be bailed out and saved so it can operate, say insiders. We need more hundreds of billions of dollars to save the planet, or the country, or the economy, [...]

My God.
Sorry, that should have been the picture's caption.

These liberals are very confused

I mean, Mr. Hope and Change hasn’t even taken office yet and the far left-wingers are already freaking out thinking Obama might actually try to lead from the center.
In one posting that seemed to echo in the Internet community, liberal blogger Chris Bowers wrote, “I feel incredibly frustrated. … Isn’t there ever a point when [...]

St Andrew’s day

I mentioned yesterday that St Andrew’s day is Scotland’s national day and am pleased to report that Anne and I did do something towards celebrating it. We had Forfar Bridies for our evening meal and listened to Scottish music both then and afterward. And the songs we listened to were the in the main the [...]
