Occupiers: When University Makes You a Moron, Demand a Refund
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | October 26th at 12:44 PM |
Much has been written about the various “occupy” movements that have been sweeping the country, a lot of it unfairly focused on students defecating on cars, flags and a variety of other inanimate objects — when not copulating in plain view following more or less the same guidelines. The naysayers and fault-finders have also pointed out the anti-Semitic rants, the “F*** the Troops!” signs, the | Read More »
SherwinWilliamsGate: What Did Perry Know About the Painted Rock and When Did He Know It?
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | October 5th at 09:45 PM |
All the Governor’s Rocks (Excerpt) “Governor, they found the rock.” Of all the calls Perry never wanted to get at 3:00 AM, this had to be the worst. Better to learn that Austin had been reduced to a glowing slag-heap than to receive “the painted rock call”. Groggy but still canny enough to realize the phone might be tapped, he played dumb while he collected | Read More »
Melanie Phillips Doesn’t Understand That Muslim Extremists Who Decapitate Babies Are Not To Be Called “Savages”
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | March 26th at 03:13 PM |
If I were to craft a dark satire about moral inversion, cultural suicide and Orwellian disinformation I couldn’t do much better than the plot summary below: Five members of a Jewish family in Israel — including a three-month old baby– are literally murdered in their beds, with psychopathic fury, by Islamic extremists. A British journalist takes the media to task for its minimal, tepid and | Read More »
FAIL: Crooks and Liars Claims Evil Minnesota Republicans Are Making it Illegal for Poor People to have Cash
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | March 21st at 01:00 PM |
[promoted from the diaries-- streiff] As part of the Left’s ongoing quest to make every attempt at welfare reform look like the opening scene from Oliver Twist, Susie Madrak of Crooks and Liars has written a profoundly misleading and wrong-headed piece that might better have been entitled “Please Sir, Can I Have Some More Cash?” Relying heavily on unimpeachable sources such as FightBack!News (“News and | Read More »
Top 7 Books for Barack Obama’s Remedial Reading List — Because a Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | March 13th at 05:17 PM |
Mr. President, This being a month with the letter “a” in it I am sure you will be taking another much-needed vacation soon. I note with interest that, along with the undersized girl’s bike and sensible helmet, you have lately taken to bringing books as well. This is a welcome trend inasmuch as knowledge is power — and your utterances of late have betrayed an | Read More »

Glenn Beck Rips Off Alex Jones, Who Also Invented the Internet
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | March 8th at 02:47 PM |
There was a piece last week in Rolling Stone entitled “Glenn Beck’s Shtick? Alex Jones Got There First” that perfectly illustrates three home truths: People primarily motivated by self-promotion will get into bed with anybody. Lefties obsessed with the destruction of a viscerally feared and hated enemy — and that’s all of them — are likewise not overly choosy. These two groups tend to cohabit | Read More »
Karl Rove’s Battle Plan Against the Left — Shell Sarah Palin
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | March 1st at 07:15 PM |
For reasons best known to his therapist, Karl Rove has decided — yet again — to poke a stick into the Sarah Palin hornet’s nest and give it a good stir. In an interview with New York Magazine Rove briefly departed from the theme of escalating self-congratulation he was very much warming to long enough to try his hand at Tina Fey shtick. … When | Read More »
Unions Let Slip The Dogs of More
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | February 28th at 04:30 PM |
From the diaries by Jeff There is a classic Bob Newhart skit about a man visiting the home of a friend who has a large and vicious dog. After being intermittently dragged around the room and pinned to the furniture by the beast, Newhart’s character manages to mollify it with handfuls of gumdrops out of a bowl. This works fine until he realizes he’s running | Read More »
CPAC 2011 — GOProud’s Coming Out
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | February 15th at 02:48 PM |
In the aftermath of this year’s CPAC it would appear that to know-know-know GOProud isn’t necessarily to love-love-love it. In fact, if you listen carefully you can almost hear the voice of the class monitor advising many of its erstwhile supporters to stay calm and move in an orderly fashion toward the fire exits. Tammy Bruce, in what can only be described as a terse | Read More »
Rolling Blackouts in Texas — Sneak Preview of the Brave New World of Deindustrialization
By: Mark Meed (Diary) | February 7th at 04:54 PM |
It is the supreme irony that an outbreak of unusually cold weather has exposed ominous signs of weakness in an industry about to be further hobbled by regulations designed to combat global warming. It is doubly ironic that this should have occurred in a state whose name is more or less synonymous with energy production. Texas, which produces and consumes more electricity than any other | Read More »
