Month: April 2009

Politico writer Lisa Lerer unabashedly characterizes Elizabeth Warren, the gal Congress appointed to oversee trillions in financial rescue funds, as “brilliant.”  Lerer therefore appears genuinely perplexed that Warren is “the scourge of conservative Republicans, who question her panel’s exploration of more-liberal approaches such as nationalization and bank liquidation.”  At a

Because I don’t want to start cooking, and am actively procrastinating, I amused myself checking out how many hits all of the videos showing Susan Boyle performing her Les Miserables song have garnered.  (I ignored all the other videos of interviews, and people’s reactions, etc.)  As of 3:45 PST on

After a long hiatus, Wolf Howling has returned to the bloggers fold.  Hurrah!  I don’t know about you, but I’ve really missed those tremendously well-informed, beautifully written, perfectly analyzed posts of his.  That kind of quality is rare. In any event, his debut post of 2009 is about the Obama

Hey, the weekend is half way over and you haven’t read Mark Steyn on the tea parties yet?  What the heck are you waiting for?  With gems like these, you have to read the whole thing: Asked about the tea parties, President Obama responded that he was not aware of

This morning, I asked a question about the sexual innuendo behind the word “teabagging” (since other bloggers have noticed a sneering, locker room quality to MSM reports on the Tea Parties).  To date, there have been 94 comments on that post.  The first few dealt with the question itself.  Then,

Iowahawk is always funny, but sometimes his brilliance is so extraordinary you almost feel like looking away.  This is humor that hurts.  (By the way, although it’s a bit long, be sure to read every word, since it just gets better and better as you work your way through it.)

In response to my “I’m overloaded” post, Charles Martel suggested more of a collaborative effort here.  I would be delighted.  I’ve long wondered why some of my more prolific commenters haven’t used their knowledge, erudition and wit to start their own blogs, and have only been grateful that they haven’t

Can anyone explain to me in non-obscene terms what gays mean when they refer to “teabagging?”  At Power Line, Scott has noticed that more and more CNN and MSNBC employees and talking heads have been making chortling references to teabagging.  I knew about the chortling references, but thought they simply

When I was pregnant with my first child, I took the obligatory Lamaze class.  I mostly found the class creepy and New Age (proving, even then, that I was a nascent conservative).  Indeed, the only thing I took away from the class, and the only thing that’s still stuck in

All kids all the time on this, the last day of Spring Break.  My eyes are spinning around in my head.  I’m sneaking off now to get a much needed haircut, but am hoping to be back at my computer in a few hours, not just with time to write,

No matter how the media tries to downplay or denigrate the tea parties, attendees were happy and inspired.  This report is from Gini David who, with her energy, enthusiasm and bone-deep friendliness, is an asset to any political movement: Dear Friends + PATRIOTS, The Tea Party Revolution has begun! And

Click on this link, and you’ll see wonderful pictures of the San Francisco tea party.  To the extent that local media was reporting “a few dozen” or “300” attendees, you can see that the media was being, at best, lazy, and at worst, duplicitous.  Our own Charles Martel, who actually

In just a few short months, Sally Selikovsky has traveled a long road, from stay-at-home Mom, to Marin County’s major conservative networker, to citizen journalist (at American Thinker), ending as the organizer of the first conservative protest in San Francisco in my lifetime.  She is not funded by or connected

And Mike has the pictures to prove it.
