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 [...]
Help Wanted: Zimbabwe Hangman; High School Diploma Required; Must Be Able to Learn the Ropes Quickly
A lousy economy in the U.S. is causing many people to look for work abroad, so in an effort to assist in that job search, I’m going to start highlighting career opportunities in other countries. Here’s the first one: Wanted: A hangman. High school education required. No experience necessary. Zimbabwe’s last executioner retired [...]
Supreme Court Justice Hillary?
Given Obama’s continuing political nosedive, on the surface, this would be a good way to get a major potential contender for the 2012 Democrat nomination out of the way — but the reason it won’d happen is the scariest of all: I just don’t think Hillary Clinton is leftist enough for Obama. From the AP: Sen. Orrin Hatch says [...]
Scotland Yard: Muslims are Entitled to Throw Shoes and Can’t Be Charged
Whenever I hear an American talk about why the US needs to be “more like Europe,” I invariably, soon after, run across a story like this: SCOTLAND YARD has bowed to Islamic sensitivities and accepted that Muslims are entitled to throw shoes in ritual protest — which could have the unintended consequence of politicians or the police [...]
Obama Twisting Arms to Get His ‘Home Country’ to Legalize Abortion
President Obama is twisting the arm of Kenya, his “home country” according to Obama’s wife (I never pegged Michelle as a “birther” but I guess I was wrong), to get them to legalize abortion via constitutional amendments. Evidently Kenyans shouldn’t be punished with a baby either. Joseph Meaney of Human Life [...]
Obama Orders Targeted Killing of American Citizen; Amber Alert Issued for US Constitution
Anybody with a knowledge of the history of people whose power went to their heads should shudder at this piece of Hope & Change on steroids: The Obama administration has taken the extraordinary step of authorizing the targeted killing of an American citizen, the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is believed to have shifted from [...]
IRS Helping Build ‘Hotel Obama’: You Can Check Out Any Time You Like, But You Can Never Leave
Good news! The IRS has added a new enforcement unit that will expand quickly — and this is in addition to the thousands of agents that are already being added to make sure you pay for your free health care. I know, I was excited about it too! When the IRS is using terms such as “global targeting,” you know that, whatever it is, [...]
Chinese Hackers Got Into Dalai Lama’s Email — Big Emailer, the Lama
So far at least it doesn’t appear that the Dalai Lama was in on the climate data scam. From the Guardian: A cyber-spying operation traceable to south-west China stole classified documents from the Indian defence ministry, obtained emails from the office of the Dalai Lama and compromised a United Nations agency, an eight-month investigation [...]
That Jon Kyl is a Real Comedian
Justice John Paul Stevens, who Gerald Ford nominated to the Supreme Court after suffering one too many closed head injuries from falling down the steps of Air Force One, told the Washington Post that he would definitely be retiring before Obama’s first (and hopefully only) term is up. If you see William Ayers with an anticipatory grin on his [...]
We Shouldn’t Assume That the Man Who Threatened to Kill a Republican Congressman is an Obama Fan — Unless We Don’t Have to Assume That
Somebody get Frank Rich on the phone — Michelle Malkin just posted this: Just obtained this from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia: Today, a two-count complaint and warrant was filed charging Norman Leboon with threatening to kill United States Congressman Eric Cantor and his family, and threatening to kill Congressman Eric [...]
