Here’s the money quote:
“My Cap-and-Trade Plan Will Make Electricity Rates ‘Skyrocket’”
Of course, it’s all for a noble cause: global warming. Or was that global climate change? Global cooling?
Doesn’t matter. It’s Bush’s fault.

Your next car can cost less if you forgo GPS, satellite radio, antilock brakes, power steering, power windows and air conditioning. You can shop for such a car at your local Studebaker, Hudson, Nash, Packard and DeSoto dealers.
Those were the days, indeed. There’s a reason those brands aren’t available, and they have to [...]

ere’s a cheery little story, about the Ark of the Covenant that’s allegedly been kept in a church in Ethiopia all these millenia.
Here’s the gist of it:
The patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia [Abuna Pauolos] says he will announce to the world Friday the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant, perhaps the world’s [...]
Mitt looks good

Well, who woulda thunk it? Mitt Romney’s approval ratings have improved, dramatically.
I was not a Mitt Romney fan during the primaries; thought he was too stiff; too programmed. Since then, given our recession, with his hands-on, successful experience running an enterprise, he looks golden.
On foreign affairs, Mitt would almost certainly stand tall, [...]

Update of the previous post, concerning the Obamatons’ invitation to Iranian diplos to party on Independence Day at our embassies:
Yesterday:
Iranians will have to decide whether they want to attend Fourth of July celebrations at U.S. embassies, President Obama said Tuesday, linking their attendance to the potential for warming between the two nations.
The United States [...]
Some “outrage”

From the WaPo:
President Barack Obama is expressing outrage at the violent crackdown by the Iranian government against protesters of the disputed presidential election.
There is some satisfaction in seeing the Great One now join most Americans in condemning brutality and suppression. He’s not much of a leader, that man. He follows polls, [...]

Via Hot Air:
President Barack Obama’s administration said earlier this month it would invite Iran to US embassy barbecues for the national holiday for the first time since the two nations severed relations following the 1979 Islamic revolution.
“There’s no thought to rescinding the invitations to Iranian diplomats,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.
“We have made [...]

bama, in full appeasement mode, has bowed to tyrants both literally and metaphorically. His address to “the Muslim world” was one of moral equivalence and apologies for sins allegedly committed by America. The Great One also threw in sins committed by any white or Christian person in history, ever.
Obama continues to [...]

Jay Nordlinger writes “I like Panetta better when he is using his position to undermine Nancy Pelosi!”
So do I. But Panetta is no more qualified to be head of the CIA than a box of hammers. He’s a glorified accountant, but, mostly, a party hack. Anything the man says [...]

Today, June 14, is Flag Day. As such, the day commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as our national flag in 1777.
It is a good thing for a nation to have a flag. But more important by far is the ability to protect and defend that nation. Hence [...]

Today’s heinous killing of a Holocaust Museum security guard by a crazy coot of a white supremacist was written up as a straight news story by the Wall Street Journal.
The Washington Post, as is their wont, wrote the story from a racial identity perspective.
From the Journal, the identity of [...]

Almost 54,000 Allied soldiers, sailors, and airmen died during the Battle of Normandy. Without their bravery and sacrifice, we might all be speaking German and living under a cult of personality with no freedom. Those of us not taken away and killed outright.
There is a lesson, or should be, for today’s [...]

They being Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s long-time pastor-spiritual mentor-daddy figure, and the State of Israel? Why, it’s simple: both were thrown under the ObamaBus. Crunch crunch, as the wheels of the bus grind them into history and the nothingness of disassociation with The Great One.
Wright’s demise came during the primaries, when [...]

Can you spell dhimmi, Barack? Our president continues his apology tour. This time, in Egypt, stroking his Muslim hosts and running for caliph. Hey, the guy is always running for something. He’s achieved the highest office America has to offer, why not go for caliph of the world-wide [...]

Two recent murders have received quite different reactions. The first, of the abortionist George Tiller by a pro-life zealot, has generated condemnations from virtually all pro-life groups. It has also generated its fair share of liberals blaming “Christianists” and equating pro-lifers to Muslim terrorists.
The second, the murder of an Army recruiter, [...]
