The Democrats Angrily Stamp their Trotters
Jim Conte, art
This is rich:
As the country’s recession deepened, the government provided hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer funds to rescue the nation’s floundering banks. Now, lawmakers want to know how that money is being used: to increase lending to consumers or spent on executive bonuses, luxury jets, and posh trips to Las Vegas [...]
Dear Barack Obama…
Really?
Rick Warren: But the issue to me is, I’m not opposed to that as much as I’m opposed to the redefinition of a 5,000-year definition of marriage. I’m opposed to having a brother and sister be together and call that marriage. I’m opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that a marriage. [...]
Eagles Reaction
Apparently, our video left a mark
The Eagles have thrown the challenge flag at the suggestion that money they owe the city could spare the libraries Mayor Nutter wants to cut.
I’m told they didn’t appreciate the headline I slapped onto my blog after posting a video that questions the team’s citizenship:
“Eagles to Libraries: Drop Dead.”
I think [...]
Open Memo to Conservatives: Don’t Hate the Playah
O.K. I’m sorry. I should have said a COMMUNIST, LIBERAL LEFT WING, SOL
LOWINSKI(?) LOVING Chicago politician. Who wants to take money from the
people who worked hard and smart, and give it to those who stay home and
collect my money to buy crack, have babies, then go to jail where I can
STILL support the[m].

Subtle Politics in the Family Circus?
Bil Keane is about the most stable, predictable, and let’s face it, BORING comic strip writers out there, which is why it’s always fun to deface the prosaic Family Circus with captions referencing anal sex, alcoholism, and horrifying gratuitous violence.
What’s going on in Saturday’s strip? I think the first question is who wrote it?
I am [...]
Grinding My Teeth
I really really want to like Joe Biden and this article in the Times almost gets me there:
But life in Scranton was not always so easy for Joe Jr., who was born there on Nov. 20, 1942, the first child to Joe Sr. and Catherine Eugenia Finnegan, known to all as Jean.
Joey was a popular [...]
Powell Follow-Up
In comments, my friend Tim took objection to my post on A Role for Powell, and since he encouraged me to respond, i figured i’d clarify my stance a bit.
I know there has been a lot to scream about, and Powell’s record is far from spotless - in terms of human blood spilled or otherwise [...]
An Open Letter to the Democratic Party
Talks Implode During a Day of Chaos; Fate of Bailout Plan Remains Unresolved:
The day began with an agreement that Washington hoped would end the financial crisis that has gripped the nation. It dissolved into a verbal brawl in the Cabinet Room of the White House, urgent warnings from the president and pleas from a Treasury [...]
Blind Squirrel
Byron York, who writes for National Review, gets caught in a rare instance of honesty:
It’s one thing for delegates to be understanding and compassionate about the fix these two teenagers have gotten themselves into. It’s another to actually celebrate it. And, given what we’ve learned in the last few days, if Johnston is [...]
Kenn Kweder, Prophet
Freedom From Sense
None of it makes any sense, that’s why so many walk away
I’m lookin’ for a freedom from sense, to get me through another day
A freedom from big brother,
Who somehow just slipped in
His flesh and blood is made of progress
But whose heart is made of tin
The freedom from all the little boxes,
That people sometimes [...]
