… to the past of the man running for President (it’s all smoke and mirrors…or an “illluuuuuusion”). That’s what it seems like the press and the Obama supporters are pushing. I think I’ve been clear in the past that I … Continue reading →
Is this what we can look forward to under an Obama/Biden administration? If you mock them or their supporters, you’ll get censored? After years of mocking of Bush, Cheney, etc. I’ve never heard of a report of Saturday Night Live … Continue reading →
Is this a parody? Because if it’s not, this is starting to creep your Volgi the fuck out. I know the camo pants are just Public Enemy-inspired (fascist) fashion, but seeing young men in vaguely paramilitary garb praising the Leader … Continue reading →
…of the regulatory mess that created the mortgage meltdown. It gets a little partisan and histrionic (though not wrong, I’d wager) at the end, but it’s worth watching all the way through. UPDATE: And for a more precise explanation of … Continue reading →
I wasn’t able to watch the first debate and all I’ve seen is the general spin of McCain won or Obama won for various reasons. In the end, it seemed like a wash. Later this weekend, I was sent an … Continue reading →
Our friend Chernyshevski would have understood this. Whether or not the specific thesis holds, the Volgi remains flummoxed that Obama’s troubling—if not damning—association with all sorts of groups on the far left that has gone entirely unexamined by the “centrist” … Continue reading →
Sen. Obama is running ads and preaching that the Fannie Mae / Freddy Mac debacle and subsequent bailouts are due to failed Bush policies. Now, I won’t defend the current administration as being fiscally conservative. In fact, I agree with … Continue reading →
GorT’s been under the weather for the past 2 weeks with a nasty cough – I’ll spare everyone the gory details. So I’m glad to be back and while I’ve seen, read and heard way too much to post about … Continue reading →
…by Ralph Peters here. I don’t know much about Putin the man, but Peters seems pretty on-target. Jumping off from that piece, Abe Greenwald here discusses just how alien the cultural and psychological premises of our principal adversaries are, and … Continue reading →
‘Puter just discovered that the people who live on this rock are, for the most part, absolute morons. According to this poll, fifty-four percent (54%) of the surveyed geniuses think someone other than Al Qaeda was responsible for the 9/11 … Continue reading →
Sen. Obama just can’t help pouring gasoline on the fire. As noted before, ‘Puter’s no fan of Sen. Obama, but this is just getting painful to watch. Here’s some free advice for Sen. Obama. When you’re in a hole, stop … Continue reading →
Politics am stupid. And, for a change, much of the stupidity is coming from the Democrats. In a gaffe that a fourth grader running for class president would’ve seen coming, the Obamessiah is quoted as saying “you can put lipstick … Continue reading →
When queried about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, Sen. Obama replied essentially that it was a Palin family matter, and the media should mind its own business. Sen. Obama further stated that he would fire anyone on his campaign who participated in … Continue reading →
The democrats will learn someday that being petty, complaining about everything under the sun, and labeling everyone isn’t a winning strategy. After the McCain campaign aired the congratulatory ad, the Obama camp first responded to the naming of Gov Palin … Continue reading →
Dear God, the McCain camp got competent. They’ve been almost perfect for the last couple months. And the Palin pick is fantastic for a variety of reasons. A few: • She’s young (44), offsetting the McCain-old-guy issue to a degree.• … Continue reading →
‘Puter intended to write about this editorial in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, but noting all the hullaballoo on the interwebs about the issue, decided not to do so. Thinking about it last night, though, ‘Puter got good and riled … Continue reading →
Admittedly, I’m not a Clinton (Hillary or Bill) fan by any means and I tend to be rather disenchanted by the current slate of American politicians. I tend to believe that when “politician” became a career and not just a … Continue reading →
‘Puter’s recently noted the astonishing similarities between Sen. Obama and Chance the Gardener, from Peter Seller’s great film Being There. Aside from the sameness in sartorial style, the two men’s political philosophies seem to be equally devoid of content. Both … Continue reading →
‘Puter was a little surprised that the The Good Junior Senator from Illinois (D-IL) chose The Good Senior Senator From Delaware (D-DE) as his running mate. After all, Sen. Biden once referred to Sen. Obama as “the first mainstream African-American … Continue reading →
Why we want to transfer health care to the government? John Steele Gordon, blogging on Commentary online, noting this editorial from the New York Times, has this to say about Medicare. They’re both correct. The NYT is correct that Medicare … Continue reading →
This is the funniest piece of satire I’ve read in a while. Why? Because the Notorious ŒV has met a whole bunch of these guys—with Obama signs—on State Street in Madison, Wisconsin. “I couldn’t be prouder of all of you … Continue reading →
From reading Harold Meyerson in today’s WaPo. ‘Puter should know better than to read the musings of a proud bi-coastal progressive, but ‘Puter is weak. Meyerson puts forth a shocking, new Progressive theory: manufacturing losses hurt working class voters, working … Continue reading →
Over at NRO‘s The Corner, there’s been an ongoing discussion about The Good Junior Senator From Illinois’ (“The GJSFI”) support for infanticide and the media’s reluctance to accurately report on this pro-infanticide position. This post by Yuval Levin makes the … Continue reading →
Because rule number one is, when you get prominent, you owe your family, clan, etc., lots of stuff. It’s one of the reasons that African governments tend to be kleptocratic. The tribal expectation of intra-familial redistribution tends to undermine good-government … Continue reading →
Sen. Obama, Constitutional Ignoramus or Jackass? And no fair choosing both. The Good Junior Senator From Illinois (hereinafter, “The GJSFI“) is a proud graduate of Harvard Law School, where he edited the Law Review. Distinguished constitutional scholar Laurence H. Tribe … Continue reading →
Over at NRO’s Corner, Punditissimo Jonah Goldberg wonders why the heck Obama’s response is to refer the Ossetian War to the UN Security Council. I’d have thought the answer was obvious: the left’s innate aversion to any sort of positive … Continue reading →
Senator McCain whipped out his foreign policy and security bona fides again today in addressing Russia’s “peacekeeping” efforts in Georgia, warning the Russians of “severe, long-term negative consequences” involving a few tricks Senator McCain picked up during his time visiting … Continue reading →
…and Ghettoputer (1983-87). So, GorT ain’t happy about the tire-inflation-as-better-than-offshore-drilling idea, eh? Well, unlike certain oneupsmanship-obsessed techies who are apparently too lazy to bust out their HP35s’es, this guy decided to do the math. In case you follow in Teen … Continue reading →
Ok, I don’t read Slate outside of Hitchens much because, well, I’m not a pseudo-intellectual poseur. But this article was brought to my attention in which some jackass argues that mentioning Barack Obama’s thin build is crypto-bigotry. What genius detective … Continue reading →

While on a business trip (writing from the Austin Airport now), I was obligated in the Hotel breakfast area, various restaurant “lobbies” and the airport to watch CNN. Every time I stopped averting my eyes, it was “Breaking News”. At … Continue reading →
