Author of WaPo Hit Piece on Rubio is Known Castro Apologist
The author of a false Washington Post story alleging Marco Rubio misled voters about his parents’ arrival in the United States is a Castro apologist with a history of anti-Catholic bias. Manuel Roig-Franzia has written multiple pieces either praising the Cuban communist system or covering for its awfulness, as you can see through his record [...]
Lech Walesa to Skip Occupy Wall Street After Discovering Group’s Marxist Sympathies
21. October 2011
There had been a rumor that the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner — the man who perhaps played the single most important role in defeating communism in Poland — would be attending the Occupy Wall Street protest to stand with the protesters. Apparently he had gotten the watered-down, European media-biased version of the story and [...]

21. October 2011
Allahpundit covered this awful story at the time: Basically, a little girl in China was hit by a vehicle and then promptly ignored by more than a dozen bystanders.

Apple Set to Release Five New Macbooks?
21. October 2011
We don’t normally cover technology here, but in honor of Steve Jobs and his awesome statements about Obama being a one-term president and fixing the school system, I say we make an exception. Apple could be set to unveil five new MacBook Pros and a range of AirPort Express refreshes as early as next week… [...]
Gary Johnson: You know what’s awesome? Sending American troops to Uganda
21. October 2011
Huh? What happened to the evils of military adventurism and interventionism that sits at the core of libertarian foreign policy? Gary Johnson not only supports the military action but thinks it should have come sooner. What the what? He said that his understanding of the LRA is that it “is the worst terrorist group on [...]
Many Senate Democrats Break Ranks, Support Republican Plan to Stimulate Economy
21. October 2011
A Republican proposal to stimulate the economy through tax breaks failed to reach the cloture threshold by just 3 votes in a Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate this evening. Many Democrats — including some you would not expect — broke ranks with Barack Obama and Harry Reid to support the Republican-crafted bill. Among those who sided with [...]
Senate Kills Local Government Bailout in Bipartisan Vote
20. October 2011
The United States Senate has defeated by a bipartisan vote legislation to bail out local governments by subsidizing public employee hiring — one of the key elements of Barack Obama’s unfunded Stimulus 2.0 legislation. The vote was 50-50, falling well-short of the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture. Republicans only hold 47 seats in the [...]
So, here’s R. Lee Ermey Knitting on a Flight
20. October 2011
I won’t mock because I’m pretty he could still prematurely end my life in between “knit one” and “purl two”. Besides, it takes a real man secure in his sexual identity to knit in public. I mean, it’s not like anyone is gonna question Gunny’s manliness. He’d kick your ass and then go back to [...]
NFL Player Catches Cancer Early Thanks to Failed Trade Physical
20. October 2011
Wow. As Philadelphia Eagles doctors were giving newly acquired running back Jerome Harrison his physical, they discovered a brain tumor that nullified a trade with the Detroit Lions, according to two league sources. The trade might have actually saved Harrison’s life, the sources said. Without the deal being made, Harrison would not have undergone a [...]
Hey, who’s up for winning Hawaii’s United States Senate seat?
20. October 2011
Republicans scored a coup when former Hawaii governor Linda Lingle, who was easily reelected despite governing a deep blue state, entered the United States Senate race for 2012. She has now turned the race competitive, and there’s a good chance Republicans could take the seat next November. Now, she’s not the most red meat conservative [...]
