Reports: Long-Running “Law & Order” Canceled
13. May 2010
I can’t say I’m terribly disappointed by the news, if true. I stopped watching years ago, but apparently it recently went on a political bender by declaring multiple conservative pundits a “cancer spreading ignorance and hate” by having “convinced folks that immigrants are the problem, not corporations that fail to pay a living wage or [...]
Holder Refuses to Connect Terrorism, Radical Islam
13. May 2010
A remarkable spectacle, actually. Not surprising but remarkable. The left won’t hesitate even a moment to blame Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh for the actions of any lone-wolf loon, even if the loon in question is anti-capitalist and anti-right. They simply must be responsible because the whacko was anti-government. But connecting multiple acts, and attempted [...]
Obama’s Tax Pledge Now Just A “Preference”
13. May 2010
Hey, remember when Barack Obama promised not to raise taxes on those making less than $250,000 per year? Of course you do. He told anyone who stood still for more than 15 seconds that he wouldn’t raise taxes on the middle class. FactCheck.org even used the pledge to (stupidly) debunk a Republican ad from 2008: [...]
Obama Cuts Terror Funding for NYC
13. May 2010
Even as Barack Obama travels to Manhattan today to thank the NYPD for its quick actions in response to the attempted car bombing of Times Square, the Department of Homeland Security has decided to cut counter-terrorism funding for the city. The Department of Homeland Security told congressional officials Wednesday that it’s moving to make cuts [...]
But Of Course: Crist Won’t Return Donations
12. May 2010
I’m not sure why Allahpundit can’t believe this news. Is the move sleezy and transparently hackish? Yes. Is it a complete and total flip-flop? Sure. Does it show Charlie Crist can’t be trusted to keep his word on political donations much less ideological positions? Absolutely. Is this anything new? Not at all. I’ve said it [...]
Kagan: Government Must Balance Free Speech Against “Societal Costs”
12. May 2010
In short, government can ban your speech if “societal costs” outweigh the benefit of your freedom. I agree with what she was trying to accomplish in United States v Stevens. Your freedom isn’t unlimited and you can’t view/distribute child pornography. But read the full quote: Whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection [...]
Video: Muslim Student Totally Up For Another Holocaust
12. May 2010
That’s not my interpretation of the exchange. She’s a member of the Muslim Student Association at the University of California at San Diego, and she quite openly admits to David Horowitz that she’s in favor of another mass killing of the Jewish people. You have to watch it until the end, but believe me: It’s [...]
Tampa Chosen to Host 2012 Republican Convention
12. May 2010
The Republican National Committee has voted to hold the 2012 nominating convention in Tampa, Florida. Update: It’s actually a wise move for both the GOP and the city of Tampa. The Democratic mayor of Tampa is actually standing in front of a background sheet with elephants on it, talking about the positive economic impact for [...]
Kagan’s Friends: She’s Not Gay
12. May 2010
Understand “Elena Kagan’s friends” include a bunch of people you’ve never heard of and, er, Eliot Spitzer. You remember him, he’s the former New York Governor who resigned after being busted in a prostitution ring. So you can totally believe whatever he says. Elena Kagan is not a lesbian, one of her best friends told [...]
