Christine O’Donnell Cancels Sunday Morning Appearances At Last Minute

18. September 2010

0 Comments

And no, it wasn’t just a slap at the left-wing media, either. She canceled on FOX News Sunday — the home network of Sean Hannity, one of her most prominent supporters. So she just dumped everyone, including a network known for featuring commentary in support of her bid. Classy. Christine O’Donnell, the GOP nominee for [...]

A school district in Massachusetts has been forced to apologize after video revealed students participating in Muslim prayers during a field trip to a local mosque.

Here We Go: Polling Stations Are Open in Afghanistan

For a pretty good analysis of the imminent Afghan parliamentary election, might I suggest Colonel Clayton Perce who provided support during the 2009 presidential election. He runs down the good, bad, and ugly. Basically: The good: Afghans will vote, which is significant in a country like Afghanistan. The bad: There will be corruption. Fake registration [...]

French Foreign Minister: Mullah Omar is in Pakistan

18. September 2010

As both he and Bill Roggio note, it’s no big secret that Mullah Omar — the leader of the Taliban and former Afghan head of state — is being harbored somewhere in Pakistan. But it’s interesting to see a somewhat high-profile global leader admit as much. “It’s not a secret for anyone, everyone knows that [...]

Murkowski Resigns From Senate GOP Leadership

17. September 2010

She’s running a write-in campaign because she can’t come to terms with rejection. So she loses her seniority and leadership spot. Conservatives like myself will miss her like a hemorrhoid. Now, about the write-in campaign. As I’ve said before, she won’t actually win the seat. Momentum for conservatives aside, that would rely on too many [...]

Barack Obama Mocks Liberals at $30,000/Plate Dinner

17. September 2010

You know the surest way to present yourself as an elitist? Mock even your party’s most loyal activists behind closed doors at a $30,000 per plate dinner. Democrats, just congenitally, tend to get — to see the glass as half empty. (Laughter.) If we get an historic health care bill passed — oh, well, the [...]

House Democrat’s Ad Features Word “Republican” Multiple Times

See, he never directly claims he’s a Republican. He just has people who say they’re Republicans supporting him. Oh, and he conveniently never gets around to mentioning the fact he’s a Democrat. All a coincidence, I’m sure. The slimy guy in question here is Harry Mitchell, running for re-election in Arizona’s 5th Congressional district. He [...]

Los Angeles Received $111 Million in Stimulus Funds, Created 54 Jobs

Not 5,400. Not 54,000. Not even 540. Just 54. That means Uncle Sam spent more than $2 million for each job Los Angeles created. I’m no economist, but that doesn’t seem like a bargain. DPW has received $70.65 million and created or retained 45.46 jobs, though they are expected to create 238 jobs overall (the [...]

Good News: Scourge of Society to Play Super Bowl Halftime Show

Halftime performers over the past few years have included Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and The Who. So apparently the NFL decided it was time for a crappy halftime show. And who better to achieve that goal than the Black Eyed Peas? Well, FOX Sports Chief Executive David Hill got [...]
