Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Another day where life got in the way of blogging. Hope these interesting articles compensate for the long silence. What’s she got to complain about? It’s already old news that Michelle Obama — Princeton and Harvard grad, highly paid (but still useless) lawyer; and jet-setting President’s wife — thinks herself
Continue readingFor those of us who believe in free speech, the antidote to bad speech isn’t censorship, it’s good speech. The problem for France, which is trying to censor an antisemitic, pro-Nazi “comic”, is that it has no good speech to counter the antisemitism that is breeding in France’s toxic stew
Continue readingIn other words, Moochelle’s dress costs more than a year’s income for a poor family. This disconnect from reality and this utterly classless ostentation also explain Obama’s delightful “middle class” dinner for the socialist French president: American osetra caviar “farmed from the estuaries of Illinois” Pennsylvania quail eggs and a
Continue readingWhen I lived in England, though I neither smoked nor drank, I enjoyed hanging out in pubs. They were congenial places where one could get a good game of darts (good for me, especially, because of that not-drinking bit). Apparently pubs aren’t that much fun anymore, and the Brits can
Continue readingOne of the best ways to describe a narcissist is to think of a not-very-nice 13-year-old kid housed in an adult body. You know the type of 13-year-old I’m describing: anger issues; impulse control issues; selfish-ness; a self-centered world view; chronic insecurity marked by cruelness and swagger; and the gnawing,
Continue readingTwo news reports today that offer a problem and a solution. Story 1: Michelle Obama has vanished from the scene during the shutdown. Without her ginormous staff, and without TV cameras aimed at her, she’s idle and useless. Story 2: Michelle Obama’s White House garden is going to rack and
Continue readingI finally got around to watching Zero Dark Thirty, the film about the decade-long hunt for bin Laden. Before it came out, conservatives were concerned because the White House gave the filmmakers unprecedented access to information about the hunt and about the actual hit on bin Laden. This opened up
Continue reading(I wrote this for Mr. Conservative, but it’s another one that could just as easily have been written here. Indeed, for the writing I do at Mr. Conservative, it’s unusually snarky . Michelle really rubs me the wrong way.) When the Clintons were in the White House, they loved to
Continue reading[UPDATE: Okay, I knew my theory was way too wacky to be true, although I had fun writing it up. Although the White House didn’t list it on the official schedule (because Thomas Lifson checked), I should have remembered that the Obama’s were hosting the annual Governor’s dinner — the
Continue readingPaul Brandus decided he’d had enough of the innumerable lies about Obama floating through the blogosphere, so he did some research and came up with a post: “Deconstructing the 5 most ridiculous myths about Barack Obama.” Unfortunately for him, he forgot the cardinal rule of attacking your enemy: Know your
Continue readingIn her speech, Michelle makes it clear that, if we’re not enjoying the finer things in life, she can’t be happy when she enjoys the finer things in life. Nevertheless, she did manage 16 luxury vacations at taxpayer’s expense over the course of just three years: Marie Antoinette apparently never
Continue readingThere’s something about the Obama’s and food…. For the past three years, food has been an issue with the Obamas. During the recession, they’ve dined in style while others have clipped coupon. Wagyu beef, anyone? Michelle made food her crusade, urging Americans to eat expensive, “healthy,” “organic” food (which has
Continue readingThe moment I read about Michelle Obama’s bathetic (and heavily embroidered) description of her poverty-stricken years with the young prep school and Ivy League graduate, Barack Obama, I knew instantly where she’d found her inspiration:
Continue readingOur president has been in the news lately for scorning the Washington press — this, despite the fact that these “journalists” have pretty much been playing on his team since Day 1. Apparently even friendly pitches about politics have become too dangerous for President Obama. Instead, he’s trotted over to
