Gay Patriot baited the trap….
…and, sure as the sun rises every day, a Leftist fell in. I love it when that happens. If Bugs Bunny had watched it happen, he would have walked 0ff chortling “What a maroon.”

Re that Veep spot on the Democrat ticket — I have a guess about the dark horse replacement
I’m with American Crossroads, which believes that Joe Biden is just what the Democrat ticket needs: Gravitas! (Giggle, giggle.) I’m suspect, though, that the Democrats themselves are becoming disenchanted with Good Old Joe. Apparently they cast around for the Hillary alternative, only to get a resounding “No!” from a woman

So, will Obama follow Sarah Palin’s advice and ask Hillary to be his running mate? Hmmm…consider this Hillary-ous political ad that disproves once and for all the ridiculous notion that conservatives do not have a sense of humor.

The kids go back to school soon, thank goodness. Summer isn’t exhausting the way it used to be when I had toddlers or elementary-school aged children. Nevertheless, having the children around all the time — not to mention a rotating crop of three to ten friends — means that the
Continue readingThis week’s Watcher of Weasels submissions
Yes, my blog has been remarkably silent so far today. That’s because today’s news has been virtually identical to yesterday’s news, and yesterday’s news was virtually identical to the news from the day before. There’ve been nuances, of course, with Joe Biden saying different stupid things or Paul Ryan greeting
Continue readingCan you keep a secret? If you’re the Obama administration, the answer is no
People in the intelligence community — as well as intelligent people — have long been upset that, in the current iteration of the war against terrorists and terrorist nations, it is our own White House that is afflicted with the loose lips that can sink ships. A group of intelligence
Continue readingPrayers and thoughts for Barry Rubin, please
I have long been singularly fortunate in that Barry Rubin periodically corresponds with me. He is a light in the blogosphere: informed, brilliant, objective, open-minded, decent, and kind. Read any one of his posts about the Middle East, and you will learn more than you will learn in a year
Continue readingProgressive violence
The news today that a “Gay Marriage” advocate attacked the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., shooting a security guard in the process, got me to pondering this question: has any act of political violence in the U.S. ever been associated with conservatives or Republicans? On the Democrat /Progressive side,

One of my favorite silly jokes goes as follows: A man runs into a friend. “Oh, my God!” he says. “I just made the most terrible Freudian slip.” His friend asks “What did you do?” The man answers, “Well, I was having lunch with my mother. I meant to saying

Food prices in America are going up and up. We’re not starving, thank goodness, but we are seeing more and more of our money go to groceries. Many see a direct connection with ethanol (i.e., using food to power cars) and rising food prices. Thus, despite the challenging drought, the

It turns out that conservatives aren’t the only ones upset about the absence of diversity revealed in the choice of moderators for the presidential and vice-presidential debates. Tavis Smiley, a black man who has made a career out of being concerned about racial quotas, notices that the best the MSM
Continue readingA new book is coming out that I know we’ll love
One of my oldest blog friends, Laer Pearce, who used to blog at Cheat-Seeking Missiles before he turned his attention to writing a book, is now on the verge of publishing his book about the insanity that is California. The book, unsurprisingly, is called “Crazifornia.” While you’re waiting, please consider
Continue readingDiffering views of what type of behavior a role model should be modeling
Tim Tebow: star athlete, missionary, works with children, model for abstinence and respect. All around good guy. Gets flak — yes, flak — for his suggestion that athletes, because America’s youth so admires them, should behave well (i.e., stop drinking, drugging, whoring, and trash-talking): He has also stirred controversy by
Continue readingRock-solid Romney Medicare ad
I wrote earlier today that both an old person and a young person understood that Obama’s economy is unsustainable. This Romney-Ryan ad drives that point home with regard to Medicare for the elderly and future health care for the young:

Danny Lemieux left a link to this video in the comments. I think it deserves its own post. You might also want to share it with your friends. It’s studiously non-partisan, so one hopes it will make liberals thoughtful, rather than defensive. Incidentally, if any of your liberal friends think
