I saw something interesting while traveling thru one of Sterling’s strip malls. A manager and store employee from the Burlington Coat Factory was forcibly manuvering a “patron” back into the store (there was some serious strongarming going on here) with her ill-gotten goods. Looks like Light-fingered Lovisa was doing some [...]
Over the past three weeks the “science” of “global warming” received a mortal blow – the coup de grace stunningly symbolized by Al Gore’s abrupt decision to cancel his scheduled Dec. 16 appearance at the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. We should all [...]
Interesting predicament: we are stuck in College Park at a motel with the clothes on our backs and our blackberries.
My car’s oil indicator went to zero just as we were merging from 95 onto 495 toward silver spring after a work engagement in baltimore, and as we got onto new [...]
Yes, indeed. In a 38-24 vote, the New York State Senate rejected same-sex marriage.
Hallelujah.
[...]Is a federal mandate to purchase health insurance Constitutional? Ruth Marcus says it is.
Marcus’ argument rests on two powers given to Congress: the power to tax, and the power to regulate interstate commerce. Looking first at the Commerce Clause, which has been stretched beyond all recognition, she relies on [...]
Yes, they threw out the data to save space. Isn’t that wonderful? They want us to spend trillions of dollars to combat global warming, and it’s all based on unverifiable data. Oh, they have the massaged data, but not the real, raw, as-collected data.
Isn’t that convenient?
[...]Thanksgiving
By Ralph Waldo Emerson
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
[...]While some view this as news, many here will very likely view this as exactly the level of expectation Obama would rise (or sink) to.
Rasmussen reports that only 27% of voters currently give Obama a strong approval rating. On the flip side, 42% indicate strong disapproval of the job Obama [...]
Shocking! The Anthropomorphic Global Warming nuts have been manipulating the climate data! This issue is akin to the infamous Hockey Stick graph from a few years ago. Now it appears that the bright boys in climate research have been hiding some other inconvenient truths:
Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming [...]
There’s no limit to what global warming can do. It could destroy the earth… you must go to the robot Gore, you must say these words, “Klaatu barada nikto”, please repeat that.
Never mind, it appears someone already did :
The Day Global Warming Stood Still
Climate Change: As scientists confirm the earth [...]
A recent episode of Glenn Beck featured as his guests conservative Americans of African heritage. One of Beck’s guests, a young woman made a very interesting statement about civil rights and liberal politics, stating that “If we had been liberals during the Civil Rights Era, there would have been no [...]
We just heard from a group of candidates, most of them Republican, for several congressional seats next year. A few were pretty impressive, but that is a story that won’t be typed via blackberry.
When Rick Sincere gets the videos posted, I’ll link to some.
For now, this is GOP candidate [...]
Key takeaway from the legal session:
If a commenter says something bad on your blog, you are not legally responsible for it. However if you receive a court order demanding the IP information about that commenter, you have to provide that info to the authorities.
Seems reasonable to me, so note to [...]
Rep. Rob Wittman discussing a variety of Internet related issues.
Topics include:
- increasing access to broadband
-new USF fees proposed for voice over IP (Boucher telecom bill)
-Republican new media caucus – this is pretty cool, not so much in the “GOP is now cutting-edge” sense but at least they have [...]
Media panel, discussing opinion vs reporting, and “news judgments,” including what goes on their news outlets and what goes on their blogs.
Left to right: Ryan Nobles of NBC 12, Julian Walker of Virginian-Pilot, Anita Kumar of Washington Post, Kimball Payne of Daily Press and Shad Plank. [...]
How cool. Vivian Paige just showed me the way to posting to wordpress from my blackberry. Hope it works. If it does next step is a photo.
First discussion of the day is “blogging ethics” so needless to say I’m basically on recess time. But overall it seems like it [...]
For some time, those from the Universal Church Of Global Warming, led by their prophet Al Gore, have been lecturing us on the imminent dangers from man-made global warming. It would appear that their house of cards is tumbling down yet again.
Hackers broke into the servers at a prominent British [...]
There will be a conference of Virginia bloggers this coming Saturday, November 21, at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia. Befitting my literally insane travel schedule of late, I am planning to be there.
[For those of you unfamiliar with the term: "Blogger" is defined as, "a writer" [...]
It’s the question the whole world is asking.
Here are your choices; feel free to suggest others:
North Korea Supreme Leader Kim Jong Il
Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei\

How world leaders greet each other (except those on Apology Tour).
UPDATE: Egads, Moron in Chief might be too generous for this jackass. Read it and weep, America – they still haven’t apologized for the Rape of Nanking, yet our president takes the unprecedented initiative of bowing [...]
Like our governor (or lack thereof) in Virginia, being an absentee Commander-in-Chief doesn’t bode well with those that you command. What happens when you have an all volunteer military and nobody joins? I’ve seen this decades ago and it causes things like drafting to have a standing military. You don’t [...]
While reading an article today, a thought ran through my mind. The part that prompted the thought was the follow:
According to the Associated Press, Anwar al-Awlaki, Hasan’s former imam from the al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia, has posted praise for Hasan, and has called on other Muslims [...]
Bias is a bit different from prejudice only because being prejudice is a PRE-conceived (without experience or understanding of a person, place or thing) notion about something where bias is not. Simple examples of bias for me are things like lima beans, snakes and spiders, needles, lying , dishonesty, bratty [...]
Interesting piece over at WSJ Online. If true, then ACORN is responsible for much more than voter fraud.
Acorn and the Housing Bubble
The liberal pressure group helped Congress write the affordable housing rules that got us into trouble.
All agree that the bursting of the housing bubble caused the financial collapse [...]
In another example of Obama running true to his roots, his first appeals court nominee is a former ACORN fundraiser as well as a judicial and social extremist. The following article contains several links to other very noteworthy articles, be sure to click through and read them all.
Former ACORN fund [...]
… Sharon Lerner for “Why Doesn’t Health Care Cover Birth Control?”
Even more stupid, she answers her own question but doesn’t see it!
So far, none of the three reform bills has required insurers to cover contraception, although it is almost universally used by heterosexually active women…. Nor have the bills [...]
Whether the guy you elected is a bona fide terrorist sympathizer or not is immaterial, because whatever the cause the circus is coming to town:
Khalid Sheik Mohammed — the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks — and four co-defendants will be tried in federal court in New [...]
ObamaCare legislation reveals what some of us have been warning about: Democrat vision for America is a police state:
… I am not fretting here about some remote and unlikely possibility. We are not speaking here of “slippery slopes” or in terms of “what comes next?”
We are instead objecting [...]
Janet is worried about Muslims. In her bizarre world Muslims are the targets of White, Christian oppression here in our country. Muslims are also the targets of attack by returning veterans according to dear Janet.
It requires a level of unimaginable blind hate to level such broad, vile accusations at these [...]
Here’s something that will make you want to switch your business to FedEx whenever possible.
Given the choice between a unionized company vs non-unionized, my money goes to the latter every time.
By the way, switching to FedEx is not as far-fetched as it might seem. Their “Ground” service [...]
In the UK, at least, Environmentalism is now a officially recognized religion. Of course, Environmentalism’s view of the world w.r.t. anthropogenic global warming has about as much factual basis as the Hindu view that the world rests upon the backs of six elephants, which in turn stand on the [...]
One more time with feeling: Thank you Dede!! You liberal piece of trash. You were embraced by the party for 20 years, and when you suffer your first real setback you came out for the Democrat in the 11th hour.
Owens was brought into the Democrat fold real quick. He [...]
McDonnell conducted an excellent interview with Chris Wallace this Sunday. During the course of this interview McDonnell was unapologetic about how his campaign was conservative across the spectrum, in both the fiscal and cultural arenas. It was surprising to see an elected Republican this conservative in public.
The campaigns that McDonnell [...]
Check out this Byzantine labyrinth. I wonder how many evils dwell in that?
It really does speak for itself, doesn’t it? There is no way in the world that the Pelosi Lemmings could have had a clue as to what they are voting for. ‘Do it or else!’, [...]
Just when you thought that Health Care Reform could not get any more Draconian :
Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy [...]
Un frickin believable. Watch through about 1:05. What just happened at Ft. Hood is treated with all the seriousness of a truckload of chickens overturning on the Interstate:
Imagine if it was one of your loved ones who had been killed, and this dipshit begins his remarks by noting the [...]
Since it’s almost 2010 I figured it was time to ditch the 2008 design and functionality – though I know we will all miss it, just like we miss the 2007 version. Wish I had saved a screenshot of the 2005 version …
Plus with the dawning of a new [...]
Just a low rez video of Tag’s victory speech last night at The Dock in Lansdowne; starts about 10 min. before, Tag giving an update on current returns as he did throughout the evening, then skips to right when the race was called.
Nice touch to have former delegate Dick [...]
The Speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi, claims that last night was a win for Democrats. Really!? According to the Politico:
“From our perspective, we won last night,” the California Democrat told reporters during a Wednesday photo op.
Nancy gives the term deluded a whole new dimension. Someone should ask Deeds, and Corzine [...]
Not only did the Republicans sweep Virginia, gaining a seat or two in the House of Delegates along the way, but they took the governorship of New Jersey, and gay marriage was defeated in Maine. The leftists have been spanked. Praise God!
[...]Thank you, Dede Scozzafava. You have made what was oh so obvious, even more obvious. Before the election, Dede was the Republican who was picked by the 11 county chairmen in the New York’s 23rd Congressional District, and by the RNC, to represent this section of the State in the [...]
This thread is for any breaking election news or precinct reports concerning today’s elections.
[...]Tomorrow’s elections in Virginia will provide the first official judgment on public assessment of Barack Obama’s presidency. Obama famously won Virginia in 2008 – the first Democrat to do so since the World’s Fair was held in New York – so it will be very interesting to see [...]
Starting on Cucinelli front, I have received several phone calls today from the local Democrat machine, the saps there spent their time name calling at Cucinelli with nothing good to say about Shannon. Why? Because there is nothing good to say about Shannon. This is reflected in the polls [...]
According to the Richmond Times Dispatch: ‘Ken Cuccinelli is favored over Steve Shannon, 46 percent to 32 percent, with 22 percent undecided. Cuccinelli has doubled his lead from early October.’ In short:
Cuccinelli v. Shannon: +14
This means the 22% undecided would have to break 82% for Shannon in order [...]
The polling data looks good this Monday morning. According to Public Policy Polling the three Republican candidates are up today.
Christie v. Corzine: 47 – 41
McDonnell v. Deeds: 56 – 42
Hoffman v. Owens: 51 – 34
It appears that the bloom is off the Rose for Obama, hailed as a moderate during [...]
Finally home after two weeks on the road. Blog seems to be working again, though the admin interface is a little clunky. Can’t find “categories” for instance but who really cares about categories at the end of the day, right?
Unfortunately I have nothing to inform or instruct you about, as [...]
