It bothers me a tad to knock the Yankees tribute down on the site, but the NYT never fails to incense me.  All these people against socialist healthcare, they’re all just White Christians, don’t you know? It’s almost like the Times doesn’t want to know that recent polls show an almost 15% advantage for those opposed to a “public option.” This is a completely bizarre statement to put in the lead of a news article in a country that overwhelming “self-identifies”... Read More→

Congratulations to our very own New York Yankees on their 27th World Series victory, and Hideki Matsui, the series’ MVP.  In a year when they began play in a new Stadium, a game 6 win at home could not have been a more fitting tribute to the storied ball club.  Read More →

It was Winston Churchill who once said “Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities.” Something rings true of that statement after last night, which was nothing less than a voter insurrection against big government and Federally pushed socialism.  The electoral acid trip of 2008 cleared up, making for a pleasantly sober 2009. Virginia was not and has not been (in recent history, anyway) a Democrat stronghold.  In... Read More→

So says Mark Levin on NRO today: “Today’s election results will be a complete repudiation of Obama’s radicalism and the political death of many so-called Blue Dog Democrats who have helped advance it. Reagan conservatism is back, and the GOP establishment can either embrace it or get rolled over by it.” I tend to agree. See everybody at tonight’s victory celebration!  Read More →

Playing a respectable game of golf is often thought of as a good business asset.  Deals get made on the green, and progress is realized.  This time-tested combination of sport and selling is clearly why our wise president has now been golfing as many times than his predecessor (the evil Bush; in case you forgot, President Obama will remind you a few times this week)  in about a third of the time. Yes, those 24 rounds of golf for Obama took just 9 months, compared to 34 months for Bush.  This... Read More→

Victor Davis Hanson, classicist and historian, has on NRO this morning a sweeping condemnation of the administration, in his typically brilliant and sage manner.  It begins: For 30 months the nation has been in the grip of a certain Obama obsession, immune to countervailing facts, unwilling to face reality, and loath to break the spell. But like all trances, the fit is passing, and we the patient are beginning to appreciate how the stupor came upon us, why it lifted, and what its consequences have... Read More→

The jobless claims horse, that is. Dow Jones reporting today that job loss claims were up again, and once again higher than expected. From the report: Weighing on stocks, the U.S. Labor Department said initial claims for jobless benefits rose by 11,000 to 531,000 in the week ended Oct. 17. The previous week’s level was revised from 514,000 to 520,000. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected only a slight increase of 4,000, with the report serving as another sign of tough times... Read More→

It seems we are approaching a new paradigm for liberal reporting on our president.  After completely dropping the ball throughout the election season, failing as they did to report the extent of his associations with anti-Semite, racist Reverend Jeremiah Wright, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, Israel-bashing Rashid Khalidi, communist Frank Marshall Davis, and the entire Chicago political underground, the media seem stupefied that their candidate is not all he was cracked up to be. Now pervading news... Read More→

That headline alone is enough to make a conservative queasy. Bono is not a bad guy, however, and I admired him when he used to meet with and occasionally praise Bush.  He strikes me as results-oriented when canvassing for his noble goals, which I view as a rather good trait. Which is all the more reason I dislike seeing him uncritically praise Obama.  With lines like “So here’s why I think the virtual Obama is the real Obama, and why I think the man might deserve the hype,” and absolutely... Read More→

This White House never fails to supply its critics with abundant ammunition.  The latest creepy action is nothing less than a full out assault on Fox News. The cable network has been targeted and isolated.  The president has been making swipes at the network for years because, unlike other useless news networks, Fox has been reporting what the public did not want to hear: that Obama has a history of radicalism and the friends to prove it. Aside from past remarks from the president himself, attacks... Read More→
