Associated Pres: Job Growth Weaker Than Expected

7. January 2011

0 Comments

While the creation of 103,000 jobs in December may sound good after months and months of unemployment increases, the Associated Press reports that creation was actually weaker than expected. And the drop in the unemployment rate? Simple: People stopped looking for work, shrinking the workforce and therefore lowering the percentage of unemployment “workers”. Even Barack [...]

More Defense Cuts: Obama to Close JFCOM

6. January 2011

1 Comment

Another 160 jobs and more defense infrastructure — gone. Because we can’t afford sufficient national defense when we have to fund massive entitlement programs and pork barrel spending. Constitutional responsibilities be damned when there are professional victim classes and other get-out-the-vote constituencies to reward with “free” government money. The details of Gates’ plan, announced Thursday, [...]

Video: MSNBC Explains “Debt Ceiling” for Idiots

Ready for this one? I’m gonna throw a fast one at you, so hang onto your trousers: The national debt ceiling is a limit on the national debt. To illustrate that concept we apparently need an MSNBC reporter in a “spending” shirt to stand under a movable ceiling and repeatedly demonstrate that he’ll hit his [...]

Ted Nugent: I Wouldn’t Vote for Palin Right Now

The Nuge may love Sarah Palin on a personal level but he’s not prepared to make her president. In fact, the famed Tea Party-loving, conservative-backing, gun-owning, Obama-hating rocker wouldn’t vote for her as of now. “(Palin’s) coming from the street, she’s coming from the we-the-people rank-and-file, she makes sense when she talks, she says all [...]

Lefties Angry that Republicans Only Read Current Constitution

6. January 2011

Absolutely stupid. Basically, lefties are angry that Republicans didn’t read parts of the Constitution that are no longer parts of the Constitution — parts that only remain in print form for historical purposes. So basically the left is angry that there are no video clips of Republicans reading text that says blacks should only be [...]

U.S. Army: Beards for Muslims Okay, Beards for Jews Not

1 Comment

Personally, I think there shouldn’t be an exception to the “no beard” rule. You sign up to become an Army of One, as they say, and to conform with the rest of the Army. You can’t meet those requirements? Don’t enlist. But if you’re going to wave the rule for some people, you’ve moved beyond [...]

Obama’s Vacation Rental Was Illegal

5. January 2011

1 Comment

It sounds like Obama himself didn’t break the law but the short rental was indeed illegal. So stop salivating at the mouth about fantasy impeachment charges, my fellow conservatives. It does beg a question: Obama is super-genius lawyer-man who attended Ivy League schools and even served as president of the Harvard Law Review. He’s also [...]

Via Jonah Goldberg, this priceless bit from an Associated Press dispatch: LAHORE, Pakistan — More than 500 Muslim scholars are praising the man suspected of killing a Pakistani governor because the politician opposed blasphemy laws that mandate death for those convicted of insulting Islam. The group of scholars and clerics known as Jamat Ahle Sunnat [...]
