Rep. Charlie Rangel, Groucho Marx and ignored fires

When Representative Charlie Rangel (D-Mich.) took up the cause for liberal denial of reality on February 13 th ’s NBC News’ Meet the Press (See the transcript at http://video.msnbc.com/id/6954712/ ), he found common ground with, of all people, Groucho Marx and, of all things, the worst forest fire...

Oh, no, a Marine General enjoys killing the enemy!!

Oh, horrors! Oh, the shame of it all! How dastardly, how cruel, how inhuman! Such is the reaction of the liberals and the former mainstream news media to remarks by United States Marine Corps Lt. General James N. Mattis about how “it’s fun to shoot some people.” To the expressions of appalled shock... Sign in to see full entry.

Goodbye, Terry, we’ll miss you!

The Democrats bid a fond farewell former party chairman Terry McAuliffe this week. On second thought, according to coverage, it was more a fondness for his farewell than the man himself. After all, on his watch the party lost two presidential elections and a critically important mid-term election.... Sign in to see full entry.

Harry Reid is going to be a lot of fun to have around

I just love Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.). Newly elected as house minority leader, replacing the first senate leader to be voted out of office in 50 years, Senator Reid says he wants to meet President Bush in the center. The center of what? His accusing the President of lying? His opposition to tort... Sign in to see full entry.

More far-left insanity!

This just came across my desk. A group of university professors is petitioning The McGraw-Hill Companies to back off from its "abandonment of a commitment to science, education, and to the welfare of the children it claims to serve." Just what has this famous publishing house done to deserve such a... Sign in to see full entry.

Conservative optimism

In a comment on an earlier post, faithful reader damonleigh took a shot at defining conservative optimism. After my ongoing battles with html kept me from posting a responding comment in any kind of a legible form, here it is as a post. Sorry, damon, you weren't even close to the target. Take off...

Liberals get Loonier and Loonier!

Things are getting more and more lunatic on the left. A few examples from the week’s news: While President Bush launches a tour of the country to promote his Social Security reforms directly to voters, his Congressional opponents respond by holding a rally for the news media at the FDR Memorial....

Liberal bias in the news media? What liberal bias?

For those who cling against all reality to the notion that there is no liberal anti-Bush bias in the news media, I once again submit the Toledo Blade as evidence. Today’s lead story was, of course, the State of the Union Address. Written by the Blade’s Washington bureau chief, the article was hardly... Sign in to see full entry.

Were these people watching the same speech I was watching?

I just got through watching the State of the Union Address and the response by Senator Harry Reid and Representative Nancy Pelosi. I was greatly impressed by the speech, although it made clear to me that I have homework to do in studying various acts of legislation I had previously not heard of. I... Sign in to see full entry.
