How I Spent My Summer Vacation (from the Left, that is)

    There’s an old gangster rap saying that goes, “Hate the game, not the playa.” Well, after almost 10 years of ingesting some of the most obtuse, myopic, violently self-destructive, willfully ignorant intellectual excrement ever foisted upon the American public, I’ve frankly had it up to my moderately obese hairy tuchus with the 42% of this nation’s citizenry who have proven themselves utterly incapable of understanding | Read More »

    You Can Be Nice, Or You Can Save A Nation…

    The following is a post I wrote in response to GayPatriot’s position that trolls should be allowed to continue unabated. Needless to say, I disagreed… ———- Much has been made behind the scenes here of my approach to certain commenters who have made abundantly clear their disdain for anything resembling dissent. Miss Hillary solidified a career, after all, of screeching about the importance of honoring | Read More »

    Putting My Career (And Other People’s Money*) Where My Mouth Is…

    I remember attending the wedding of a family friend in October of 2001. It was just over a month since the attack on the WTC, and we were in a hotel room in Florida. The TV was tuned to CNN, and as the GWOT was launched, CNN showed footage of some college students in a Student Union, all of whom groaned, cried, and bitched as | Read More »

    What Was That Shakespeare Said About Lawyers Again???

    The following has been floating around the blogosphere for the last few days. Nobody seems too sure about who wrote it, and considering the message, that doesn’t seem too terribly important. I may not necessarily agree with everything here, but again, conservatives aren’t the ones who demand complete adherence. Submitted without further comment… The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers Party . Barack Obama is | Read More »

    The Inevitable “Occupy Star Fleet!” Thread

    Not sure if someone’s already drawn the parallels here, but what the hell – it’s Monday, right? Tell me this doesn’t strike you as familiar in some weird, geeky way… According to the Star Trek Wikipedia, Memory Alpha, the synopsis for this episode, “The Way to Eden,” is as follows… The Enterprise picks up a group of occupiers, er…”renegades” who have rejected modern technological life | Read More »

    Like A Punch In The Face, Occubots Learning Valuable Life Lessons

    Reality keeps coming, as noted in this article in the New York Magazine (language warning). People are upset that they don’t get to drum all day and all night–and that their fellow occupiers might want to sleep also. People are upset that they have to share their tips. People are upset because of the community consensus process–so they are breaking into smaller groups. People are | Read More »

    Wonderful: One-Third Of OWS Ready To Get Medieval On Our Asses

    From Douglas Schoen at the WSJ Online… The protesters have a distinct ideology and are bound by a deep commitment to radical left-wing policies. On Oct. 10 and 11, Arielle Alter Confino, a senior researcher at my polling firm, interviewed nearly 200 protesters in New York’s Zuccotti Park. Our findings probably represent the first systematic random sample of Occupy Wall Street opinion. I know. Big | Read More »

    We Are The 53%

    Presented without comment, because sometimes, it just isn’t necessary… We are going to win this, because not only does character and integrity never go out of style, they can never be defeated, nor do they require one to defecate in public in order to be acknowledged. h/t: iOwnTheWorld UPDATE: thanks to the inimitable V the K, who pointed out the following incredible video from Charles | Read More »

    “Occupy [insert name]” – What do they want? When do they want it?

    The former? They’re not sure. The latter? NOW! Matt Labash over at The Weekly Standard went in search of some answers: So what do they want? Besides, seemingly, to complain a lot about corporations, the very entities that provide so many of the jobs that our economy is sorely in need of? What are they advocating, besides their right to assemble publicly for the purposes | Read More »

    “You Shall Know Them By Their Fruits”

    The mass of petulant self-absorption and impotent rage known as “Occupy [insert name here]” has finally managed to do what progressives everywhere have been unwilling to do for almost a century: tell the world what it is they truly believe. Less than 36 months after they were promised a permanent Democrat majority and dismayed by the abject failure of an overrated community activist (yet unwilling | Read More »
