Another Cartoon Fatwa? South Park Creators Threatened
The Danish cartoonist might have some company in the states courtesy of The Religion of Peace™: The radical Islamic Web site Revolutionmuslim.com is going after the creators of the TV cartoon series “South Park” after an episode last week included an image of the Prophet Mohammed in disguise. Revolutionmuslim.com, based in New [...]
Obama to Gay Rights Hecklers: You Should Be Thanking Me!
Okay, he didn’t exactly say it the way he did to Tea Partiers, but Obama certainly implies that gay rights advocates should be thanking him (and Barbara Boxer) instead of heckling. I think the hecklers are in more of a snit over Obama’s stance on gay marriage than the slowness in repealing “Don’t Ask Don’t [...]

The ‘Frito-Lay Stimulus Plan’: To Legalize or Not to Legalize Pot
Below is Reason TV’s “3 Good Reasons to Legalize Pot.” I don’t smoke the stuff because I’m a devoted Irishman, and therefore usually too busy drinking to want to waste time rolling a joint (plus lighting it might set my glass of Bacardi 151 on fire), but there are arguments on both sides worth taking into account. For [...]
The Boxer Rebellion: Liberal California Senator Begs Crowd to Get as Excited as Tea Partiers
Now it’s just getting sad… first the libs dismissed the Tea Party protests as irrelevant. Then, when that clearly wasn’t the case, they demonized the Tea Parties as angry mobs of racist, hateful groups of hillbillies, dumbasses and militia types. Now, as the Tea Party effectiveness is being reflected in poll after poll, Barbara [...]
Please Democrats, No Sachs Before a Fight
I’ll believe that Democrats are serious about battling Wall Street greed the day they stop not only funding it with taxpayer money, but also refusing to accept political donations from the same industry they demonize. Until then, there’s this: Goldman Sachs gave $4,463,788 or 75% of it’s political contributions to Democrats in [...]
That Bill Clinton is So Funny… Sometimes
Hey everybody, the former president whose administration perpetuated a government siege in Waco — one that resulted in many adults and children being burned alive for no reason other than the government didn’t feel like laying back and waiting for David Koresh to head into town to get a Slurpee at 7-11 — is linking the mindset of [...]
Obama Observes Polish President’s Funeral in His Own Way
Volcanic ash over the Atlantic and Europe forced a last-minute cancellation of President Obama’s trip overseas to attend the funeral of Polish President Lech Kaczynski. Fortunately, Obama decided to show his solidarity with the nation of Poland on this somber occasion in his own, special way: CBS News’ Mark Knoller reported on [...]
The House That Chivas Built: Taxpayer Share of Ted Kennedy Shrine Rises to at Least $70 Million
And the cost to taxpayers keeps going up and up. At first the Teddy Shrine was funded to the tune of about $6 million, but, true to form, that was way off the mark. What a fitting tribute to a man who spent a life spending everybody else’s money but took personal credit for the philanthropy: The amount of taxpayer money being funneled to a [...]
