Few things are as annoying as a whiny politician. I dislike many things about Sarah Palin, and her propensity for playing the victim grates most. Now President Obama has decided to play the self-pity card, a strategy that won’t do … Continue reading →

New developments: 1/4 of Americans still (willfully) ignorant
Nearly one-third of the country thinks adherents of Islam should be barred from running for President — a slightly higher percentage than the 24% who mistakenly believe the current occupant of the Oval Office is himself a Muslim. Filed under: … Continue reading →
If only he had two years as governor of Alaska
“I think he’s quite complacent, and I think he’s in over his head, and he has poor advisers around him. And I think he’s really in flux when it comes to what his governing philosophy really is,” she said. “Some … Continue reading →
Is the real Manchurian candidate a Republican?
**Commenters, take this post for what it is — yet another warning to sober conservatives that it’s time to spray for dipshits. This self-inflicted numbskullery does the GOP no favors. The Iowa Republican Party recently approved its platform that includes a … Continue reading →
A white liberal scolds a black president for being too white
(link) That sentence alone should indicate we’ve made substantial progress on race, though, as fearful whites scurry to play to victim, we’ve got a long way to go. But not as far as either side wants us to believe. Matt Tabbi, surprisingly, cuts through the bullshit: Your average person doesn’t spending hours a day pondering [...]
We shall overcome
Lord knows my people have suffered plenty. But our struggle is far from over. Now, that bigot in the White House is taxing our tanning beds, limiting our ability to be more like the master race and to lessening our odds of getting skin cancer. (Keep your government hands off my cancer!) I hear some say that white [...]
Same old spin
“We are committed to providing the American people access to complete and accurate information about our response to the BP oil spill and the resources available to assist those directly impacted,” said National Incident Commander Admiral Thad Allen. “RestoreTheGulf.gov will provide even greater transparency and openness about the BP oil spill, our historic response, the [...]
What do soccer and Barack Obama have in common?
What else: Socialism. A former top aide to W. explains: Think about it. Soccer is the only sport in the world where you cannot use the one tool that distinguishes man from beast: opposable thumbs. “No hands” is a rule only a European statist could love. (In fact, with the web of high taxes and [...]
Ahem, the oil is still spilling
Has the Obama Administration moved on, now that the media has begun to lose interest?

Santorum: Hawaii is not a state
Fundamentalist conservative Rick Santorum, who once compared homosexuality to incest and beastiality, said Barack Obama “doesn’t identify with the average American because of his own background. Indonesia and Hawaii. His view is from the viewpoint of academics and the halls of the Ivy league schools that he went to and it’s not a love of [...]
BP shakes itself down
Ahem. The escrow fund was BP‘s idea, according to a GOP congressman: “However, the real story here is that BP had already made the decision to set aside $20 billion to compensate those harmed by this tragic disaster several days prior to the President’s speech. The true outrage is that this was never the President’s [...]
The male Michele Bachmann
Tea partiers will probably nominate him for the presidency: “But the president has demonstrated that he has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race – on the side that favors the black person.” — Rep. Steve King, (R-Iowa) Speaking of tea party favorites, this GOP candidate from Alabama’s 2nd District [...]
We get it — you like basketball and puffball interviews
I think the president has better things to do than chat about the NBA with Marv Albert. Obama has done more televised interviews about basketball (remember the shoot-a-round with Clark Kellog) this year than press conferences. Filed under: Obama
Obama hates America, blah blah blah
The president is catching heat because he won’t be laying a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier this Memorial Day. Reagan and W. also skipped the ceremony when they were president, but that doesn’t matter to the kooks. Tweeted CNN commentator Erick Erickson: “Diff b/w Reagan and Bush not going to Tomb and […]
How bad is the BP spill?
Watch this video, which will sadden and disgust you. And yes, Dick Cheney deserves much of the blame, and that’s not a liberal talking point. It’s fact. His secret energy task force decided that the remote control switches, which cost $500,000, were too costly for the industry to shoulder (sources include the Wall Street Journal […]
