Saddest headline in my email today: George W. Bush was the last American President. I’m in sort of a cranky mood, especially after getting this thing in my email a dozen times. Not the HA post, the vid. If you can watch it you’ve got a stronger stomach than I do. And if you want info on the UI behind it, Malkin has it. Ugh, and ugh. So, I’ll start with this video, instead. Note the line: “These are bad... Read more
More, More! Why don’t we have more dancing like this? I want to learn to waltz, even on my stumpy legs! And Miss Osbourne looked lovely. The longer video is here. Very touching to see her with her parents. Even rocker dads want to see their daughters look like Princesses! Read more
“True freedom is the liberty to do whatever we ought, not the freedom to do whatever we want; we are at our best when we give away freely what’s most inside of us.” –Archbishop Timothy Dolan, (RC-NY) A long and well-worth reading profile of NY’s new archbishop, in New York Magazine, where the subtitle declares: If anyone can repair the church’s image, it’s Timothy Dolan. Except there are only so many nice ways to say no. For some people, that’s... Read more

I love this, even though I don’t know how I got here. But you want to go watch the video. Read more
It’s refreshing to hear the truth, even if the truth is a shameful one that played with the lives of our service people while politicians and pundits postured. An astonishingly honest assessment — one that I fear is accurate — from the lefty blog Hullabaloo: Escalation is a bad idea. The Democrats backed themselves into defending the idea of Afghanistan being The Good War because they felt they needed to prove their macho bonafides they called for withdrawal from Iraq.... Read more
Reading through this transcript, I was struck by two things. One was the aroma of self-intoxication. These bureaucrats and artists and activists are utterly besotted by the contemplation of their own virtue. They know what’s good for the country, and what’s good for you, and they’re willing to devote themselves ceaselessly to making it happen. The second thing that strikes one about this transcript is the aura of menace that floats just behind the talk of passion, pushing the president’s... Read more
Obama is making “America has never done more to curb Carbon emissions…” noises. Based on nothing at all, Obama says: “I am proud to say that the United States has done more to promote clean energy and reduce carbon pollution in the last eight months than at any other time in our history.” I’m getting tired of this empty suit and his empty words. Meanwhile, here is reality – in those bad old days of 2006: U.S. carbon dioxide emissions... Read more

Sorry, I know I’m supposed to be actually working on the paying stuff, but this just struck me as funny. Barack Obama’s White House has apparently been reaching out to artists with a mind toward funding the promulgation of Obamian propaganda with taxpayer dollars, via the National Endowment for the Arts. The NEA and the White House did encourage a handpicked, pro-Obama arts group to address politically controversial issues under contentious national debate. That fact is irrefutable. Meanwhile, over at... Read more
