Today, France banned the burqa. To be precise, they made it illegal to wear clothing that covers the face, which includes the burqa, a solid covering over the body with a semi-transparent mesh over the eyes, and the niqab, which covers everything but leaves a small opening for the eyes. The hajab, which covers the […]
The stimulus bill (not to be confused with TARP, which was passed by Bush) was Obama’s first major act to improve the ailing economy. Republicans opposed it vehemently. So how did it perform? If you divide jobs into those lost before the stimulus, to those lost after the stimulus, it looks like this: from Robert […]
Three interesting articles in blogs today, all worth a read: Over at Politicususa they analyze the recent Pew Research Center’s survey of where people get their news, and conclude that the biggest competition to Fox News is not MSNBC or even CNN, but comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central. I love reading […]

One very telling sign that Obama is a moderate is that he has not gone after members of the Bush administration for war crimes (much to the chagrin of the far-left). In fact, he has said some downright nice things about not only Bush, but Reagan and other Republicans. While I admire him for his […]
A judge in South Africa has outlawed the burning of Bibles, planned by a Muslim activist as a response to the now-cancelled burning of Qurans in Florida. This is interesting in so many different ways. One our dearest freedoms is the freedom of speech, and we consider many acts to be protected speech. So while […]
Yesterday, a Fox News reporter asked Obama about “the wisdom of building a mosque a couple of blocks from Ground Zero“. I think I’ve been pretty clear on my position here. And that is, is that this country stands for the proposition that all men and women are created equal, that they have certain inalienable […]

The Girl Scouts allow homosexuals and atheists to join their ranks, and they have become a pro-abortion, feminist training corps. If the Girl Scouts of America can’t get back to teaching real character, perhaps it will be time to look for our cookies elsewhere. — Hans Zeiger, Republican candidate for Washington State Representative, who recently […]
Is this what our politics has become? Really? And what’s worse — that an actual major candidate for the Senate could threaten violence if she doesn’t win, or that the mainstream media doesn’t even find this unusual? [via Crooks & Liars] Interestingly, I agree with Sharon Angle on most of her points. The second amendment […]

A few weeks ago, the conservative Right Wing News released their poll of right-wing blogs to determine the worst Americans of all time. Topping their list, ahead of “all the gangsters, serial killers, mass murderers incompetent & crooked politicians, spies, traitors, and ultra left-wing kooks in all of American history” ahead of Timothy McVeigh, Benedict […]
[reprinted from Margaret and Helen] 100 Grand Bore Margaret please tell Howard that 100,000 people will show up to a tractor pull if the entry fee is cheap enough. Big deal. I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to ignore them and have some pie. As I see it dear, if more […]
