It’s fun to watch Obama’s Press Secretary squirm. It’s even funner to watch him be a complete moron. Enjoy.

[...]A little more than a year ago I wrote a column for the pile of trash that is the student newspaper of Kansas State University. Now that the Fairness Doctrine has once again been brought up and appears to be a closer reality than I thought it would be, I [...]
Keith Olbermann was quoted in today’s New York Daily News as saying, “Most conservative talk shows do well because they air in the afternoon. Liberals, however, have things to do during the day.”
I didn’t think I’d hear something dumber than Pelosi saying, “Every month that we do not have an [...]

In this most recent monument to the vapidness of the Hollywood superstar, Ashley Judd takes aim at Sarah Palin for the aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska:
Judd’s framing of Alaska’s hunting of wolves as some form of sadistic pleasure [...]
Radio is becoming a political battleground, centered around the stimulus debate. USA Today reports, “The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this morning says it’s going to run radio ads and a grassroots campaign in 28 House districts against Republicans who opposed the stimulus package passed Wednesday.”
Perhaps the most interesting part [...]
Alright, so free food might not actually bring America closer, but it sure lifts everyone’s spirits. I had a nice breakfast this morning at Denny’s on Broadway in Downtown KC. I’m sure many of you are aware that the restaurant chain is giving free “Grand Slam” breakfasts from 6a-2p today. [...]
Frank Rich, columnist for The New York Times, is an idiot, proven by his latest column, “Herbert Hoover Lives.” Rich says:
President Obama says his stimulus plan will save or create four million jobs in two years. In the last four months of 2008 alone, employment fell by 1.9 million. [...]
In a stunning new development, Obama embraces torture. From RedState:
Rendition is back, you pro-torturing, posturing, hypocritical Leftist fools:
Obama preserves renditions as counter-terrorism tool
The role of the CIA’s controversial prisoner-transfer program may expand, intelligence experts say.
Under executive orders issued [...]
Remember the hideous video of Hollywood stars making pledges to America and the new President? Well, much to my pleasure, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have failed. Surprised, right?
First off, let me just say that when I first saw this video, I had hoped the Hollywood stars would fail [...]
First off, let me just say “Who cares if Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to fail!” I have yet to encounter any individual who is forced to listen to Limbaugh or force to believe his opinions. Let Limbaugh say whatever he wants, within the realm of FCC regulations. This hissy fit [...]
President Obama has broken a promise to the American people, his promise of transparency. From Sunlight Foundation:
In a blog post announcing the President’s signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the first piece of legislation he has signed, we are informed that the bill has been posted [...]
I’m sick of individuals and groups trying to push bipartisanship and compromise on the American people. Sure, at times, compromise is a good thing. Is compromise a good in of itself? I don’t think so. Just like unity isn’t.
Bipartisanship only comes up when someone wants his view accepted. President Obama [...]
So, Americans for Limited Government have released “ten of the most despicable bottom-feeders the so-called “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” seeks to engorge at the expense of the hard-working taxpayer.” Here they are:
1. $4.19 billion to ACORN – According to House Minority Leader John Boehner’s website, the legislation makes ACORN [...]
So we heard Matt Damon is getting challenged to a debate (we’ll see if he actually takes it…my guess is he won’t). Now, it comes out that Benecio del Toro doesn’t want to field tough questions regarding his latest film, “Che,” which is a biopic about the Cuban revolutionary…The [...]
Many of you have probably heard by now that President Obama has conducted his first television interview as President on an Arabic-language satellite TV network. First off, thank you President Obama, for not doing your first television interview with an American TV network. We really appreciate that.
The President said during [...]
No Stimulus! This is a new project from Americans for Prosperity. From Jen Rezac, the Communications Director for AFP-KS:
Americans for Prosperity has launched a new website, www.nostimulus.com, which urges concerned taxpayers to send a message to President Obama in his first major policy initiative that expanding government and [...]I don’t understand the idea of a government economic stimulus package, especially one that will put this country into an even deeper debt than former President Bush put us in. It just does not make sense to me. If we are in a shaky economy (which we are), why would [...]
Here is a great column written by Tim Hadachek, a student at Kansas State University and a columnist for the pile of waste that is the student newspaper. His most recent column covers Caroline Kennedy and her quest to fill Hillary Clinton’s US Senate seat. It’s a great read [...]
I hated Benjamin Button. I thought the story was slow and pointless. The acting was mediocre at best. And yet, Hollywood feels the need to shower it with Oscar nominations. 13 to be exact.
The only award that would make sense for it to win is Cinematography. But even in that [...]
OK, so Rick Warren’s Invocation was, well, an invocation. Nothing spectacular. Perhaps a bit too watered down, but we all knew that was coming with a pastor like Rick Warren (not that I’m against him, I just perceive his teaching of faith a tad watered down). But how about that [...]
Oh my. Watch this video. It’s horrendous. Hollywood is disgusting, and obviously quite ignorant. Apparently only when we elected an African-American as President can Hollywood actually do anything worthwhile. Obviously Hollywood is helpless without a black president.
Cripes. This blows me away. Thanks Conservative Punk. Watch Hollywood pledge to make [...]
While I don’t agree with her politics, Claire McCaskill is giving us a local perspective from the Inauguration. Follow her on Twitter.
Update: If you’ve been following McCaskill’s Twitter, you’ll notice she’s not updating much. So, forget about it, and follow me.

Alright, that last one might be a little out there, but I think you get my drift. I’m getting sick and tired of hearing the same drone of all mean being [...]
I’m sure many of you just finished watching President George W. Bush’s Farewell Address, his final speech as the President of the United States of America.
All in all, it was a great speech…for what it was. This was a short, simple speech reflecting on eight years in the highest office [...]
Remember the talk from the Obama Campaign about closing Guantanomo Bay within 100 days of him taking office? Peaceniks and other supporters of his can go ahead and focus on another issue. Yesterday Obama told George Stephanopoulos that it’s going to be harder than many realize. From Stephanopoulos:
“It is more [...]
Friday I read an article detailing the weekend’s Pork Bowl. While many watch football on the tube, Congress was going to work on passing a bill filled with pork. This morning, from the same author, I read how the Pork Bowl was a smashing success and overall victory…for Congress…Which [...]
You’ve been watching stories on television, reading editorials in the paper, scanning blogs on the Internet. It’s time for me to throw in my two cents. Last night I had the unique opportunity to sit in on a discussion with Rabbi Alan Cohen, a very involved Rabbi here in Kansas [...]
A friend showed me this video and I got a kick out of it. Just thought I’d pass it along to you.
As Joe brought up in a comment on a previous post, what is crazy about the whole Burris/Blagojevich situation is that the Senate actually has no real power to decide whether or not Burris should be appointed.
In a great article from the AP, Charles Babington writes about how [...]
Chances are Coulter isn’t banned for life from NBC. I would give credit of that to Matt Drudge. Even though he reported that an insider informed him she was banned for life, I imagine NBC was nervous of Drudge’s power and backed down a bit. In fact, she was on [...]
First off, let me say that I am not surprised in the least that Blagojevich’s appointee is going to be seated (most likely). Think about it: A Democratic, sleazy governor appoints a Democratic minority. The Democratic minority President-Elect says No. The Democratic Congress says No. Now all of a [...]
Thanks to my brother for sending this article to me. Anyone who frequents this blog understands my interest in government bailouts. For your enjoyment, please read this article from Reuters. To spark your interest:
In light of the $700 billion provided to bail out the financial industry, “It’s not shockingly [...]
I’m not the only one who thought the “automatic” pay raise Congress received was ludicrous. Yael T. Abouhalkah wrote a post on Midwest Voices saying Congress should kill its recent pay raise. Let’s start the New Year off right, Congress, and rescind the raise. If Congress does bring this up, [...]
I always enjoy reading Mike Shanin’s thoughts on his blog over at KMBZ’s website. I get a kick out of Parks’, as well, but his posts seem to be a bit more sporadic if you will. Recently, Shanin wrote a humorous post regarding the Media Research Center, a [...]
The chairman of Americans for Limited Government wrote a great piece on the recent raise Congress gave itself. The total of Congress’ salary increase is around $2.5 million. From Howie Rich:
But this $2.5 million is different, not because of how much money it represents, but because of what it [...]
Over the long weekend, I had the opportunity to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the latest David Fincher film starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. I had high hopes for the movie, and expected it to be, well, good.
The movie was actually quite disappointing. The story of [...]
Ah, it’s that time of the year. Time for Drudge to snazz up his website with all red links! Since I’m not feeling up to ranting too much (what with the cold weather), I’m just going to give you a few stories you may find interesting.
It’s time for me to throw my two cents in regarding the upcoming invocation for President-elect Obama. As many of you should know, the President-elect selected Rick Warren to lead the invocation on January 20th, 2009. This, as many of you can imagine, has created a [...]
Maybe it’s not really a bailout, but I’m sure many of you heard that Congress has helped itself out. Well, the taxpayers will be the ones to bail the lawmakers out, as they will receive a $4,700 salary increase. While President Bush is giving billions of dollars to automakers, Congressmen [...]
This post comes a few days late, and I have no interest in providing my own commentary on the situation, so I will let a fellow blogger take the reigns of the beast. Regarding the show throwing incident, a Fellow American had this to say:
What does it mean when [...]
A few days ago, The Intellectual Redneck commented on a post regarding the UAW Bailout, and linked to his blog where he talked about the shear girth of a UAW contract. Today, I get an email from The Daily Grind detailing that girth, and thought I’d share the information [...]
A fellow blogger wrote about up-and-coming Republican “rockstars” in the state of Kansas last week. A few of the highlights include Lynn Jenkins as the new US Representative for the 2nd District, as well as the rumor of Kris Kobach reclaiming the seat of Attorny General. It will be [...]
I have a feeling hundreds of Kansas Citians are thinking of running for Mayor in 2011, what with the outstanding job that the Funk has done so far. One Kansas Citian has been more vocal than others. Check it out at Prime Buzz.
[...]I supported John McCain for President. Not because I am racist or ignorant, but because I think he would be a better president than Barack Obama. My vote was cast, my future sealed. I will be living under a Presidency of Obama for at least 4 years, and while it [...]
Anyone who is familiar with this blog or my radio show most likely knows that I despise Michael Moore. He probably irritates me the most when it comes to loud-mouthed, Hollywood liberals. And remember, that list has Rosie O’Donnell on it.
In the most recent Mike’s Letter, Moore [...]
“…the bailout is described as assistance for the auto industry, it is in many respects a bailout of the United Auto Workers union, one of the most militant unions the nation has ever had. Now, I realize a lot of good people are at risk of losing [...]
Obama is an interesting cat, isn’t he? One day, no comment regarding the Illinois scandal. The next day, calls for the governor’s resignation. Oh, and he is confident nobody on his staff had ties with Blagojevich. Now, his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, refuses to answer questions [...]
“President-Elect Confident Nobody On His Team Was Involved In Alleged Pay-to-Play Scheme”
Ha! Anyone with half of a brain in his skull could say he’s 99% sure someone on Obama’s team had something to do with Blagojevich. It doesn’t take a President-elect to realize that if it’s your Senate seat [...]
And from Bloomberg. What I can’t wrap my head around is this statement from the President-elect:
“I had no contact with the governor or his office and so I was not aware of what was happening, ” Obama told reporters today in Chicago. “It’s a sad day for Illinois. Beyond [...]
If you’ve been paying the littlest attention to the news today, you’ve heard about the corruption spewing out of Illinois. I myself can hardly believe that there have been illegal activities taking place in that state. I mean, really? Chicago? Wow.
Thank God Obama never dealt in any [...]
Courtesy of Americans for Limited Government and The Daily Grind. The article is filled with tremendously powerful words, but at the same time, very simple words:
The fact is that it is time for some tough medicine for American businesses. This a recession, which so far as the history of [...]
Mike Shanin, host of KCPT’s The Ruckus and co-host of Shanin & Parks on NewsRadio 980 KMBZ, recently wrote some intriguing words for Mayor Funkhouser.
Here’s a modest proposal for Mayor Mark Funkhouser who wants the so-called “volunteer” ordinance, that keeps his wife from working in his [...]
Everyone has heard jokes about our President-elect being the Messiah, or his followers worshipping his “religion.” Well, at least I’ve heard those jokes, but maybe I have funnier friends than you do.
Anyway, it was only until this morning that I believed the silly quips to be mere jokes. But, a [...]
