Celebrity Worship for Wisdom, Fun, and Edification

January 18th, 2011

By Dan Miller Celebrities and the MSM are awesome! And occasionally fatal. Here is a fascinating article about celebrity health tips: “In an annual list of what it sees as the year’s worst abuses against science, the Sense About Science (SAS) campaign group debunked diet and exercise suggestions made by actors, pop stars and others [...]

August 29th, 2010

By Nancy Morgan The question on the minds of millions of Americans this morning: How many people attended Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally yesterday in our nations’ capitol? The answer to this question has ramifications far beyond mere crowd size. It is one of the few concrete indicators of the popularity and viability of the [...]

Lefty Media Bias? Say It Ain’t So!

July 23rd, 2010

By Brian Bagent I tune in to Rush Limbaugh every couple weeks or so.  Earlier this week, he was nearly apoplectic over more discovered left-wing media bias.  I had no idea what had set him off because he’s always railing against left-wing media bias.  Well, I subscribe to The Media Research Center and get e-mails [...]

When Will They Learn?

March 25th, 2010

By Larry Ennis I have been waiting since the inception of the Tea Party for the day when it would become a target for a smear campaign. Now the left has launched a full-blown attack complete with charges of death threats and racism. Let’s start with the death threats. Because the Tea Party movement is [...]

Hopey-Changey Stuff

February 8th, 2010

By Tom Carter Poor President Obama.  He can’t seem to get no respect, kind of like Rodney Dangerfield.  Now comes a line that isn’t going to go away.  In criticizing Obama at the Tea Party national convention in Nashville, Sarah Palin said, “How’s that hopey-changey stuff working out for ya?” The perfect mix of zing and [...]

Sarah and the “Birthers”

December 6th, 2009

he Obama White House and the Liberal Mobs headed by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed are in the process of attempting to do terrible damage to the free market in the United States and if the free market dies, the United States is essentially dead. That is a much, much larger and much more immediate issue than trying to prove that the “Capo di tutti capi” of the aforementioned Liberal Mob should not be where he is, doing what he is already doing.

Everything He Touches…

November 18th, 2009

By Larry Ennis According to The Washington Post online early edition today: Dearly Beloved President is not helping matters a lot here at home as he travels around Asia in an effort to look good there. Or maybe he just needs to lay low until some of his problems cease to be. Eric Holder, Obama’s [...]

Paglia on Obama, Law, Palin

October 14th, 2009

This month’s Camille Paglia column at Salon.com is, as usual, a delightful read.  As a firm liberal Democrat with a very open mind, her views are unusually realistic and bluntly stated.  In this column, she responds to letters from readers.  The letters themselves are good, and Paglia’s responses are even better.  Here are a few excerpts [...]

Paglia on Health Care

August 12th, 2009

Obama’s healthcare horror by Camille Paglia is subtitled “Heads should roll — beginning with Nancy Pelosi’s!” Paglia’s monthly column at Salon.com is always refreshing and thought-provoking.  She’s a committed Democrat, a liberal, and a strong Obama supporter.  But that doesn’t stop her from telling the truth as she sees it without regard to whose ox is being gored.  [...]

Capping, Trading, and Self-Destructing

July 15th, 2009

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin attacked the Administration’s Cap and Trade proposal in a column in The Washington Post yesterday. She made some very valid, very important points about the problems with Cap and Trade, but her argument was focused on energy production. Here is my “top three” list of problems with Cap and Trade [...]

Paglia on Palin, Hate Crimes

July 9th, 2009

The Palin/Letterman Spat

June 13th, 2009

“Palin didn’t rise to the bait when Letterman derided the Alaska governor’s ‘slutty flight attendant look’ on Monday’s show. But she did object when Letterman, satirizing the Palin family’s visit to New York and a Yankees game, said: ‘There was one awkward moment during the seventh inning stretch. Her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.’”

Paglia: Clintons vs Obama

December 12th, 2008

Camille Paglia writes a jewel of a column once a month at Salon.com, usually long and on various topics.  Her column on December 10 is headlined, “What do the Clintons have on Obama?”  She says, As for Obama’s appointment of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, what sense does that make except within parochial Democratic politics? Awarding such [...]

Obama vs. McCain

November 5th, 2008

Well, the election is over, and Barack Obama is President-elect.  That’s OK with me.  He’s young, smart, and I suspect pragmatic.  Maybe he’ll do a great job.  In any event, he’ll be my President, and I’ll support him fully.  However, I voted for John McCain.  In 10 presidential elections, including this one, I voted for the [...]
