States are passing new abortion clinic regulations *because* of Kermit Gosnell’s atrocities.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 12th at 11:21 PM |
Before we go any further: here’s a section from the grand jury report on the Kermit Gosnell atrocities (“Mrs. Mongar” is Karnamaya Mongar, one of Gosnell’s adult victims). Investigators found the clinic grossly unsuitable as a surgical facility. The two surgical procedure rooms were filthy and unsanitary – Agent Dougherty described them as resembling “a bad gas station restroom.” Instruments were not sterile. Equipment was | Read More »
Kentucky Democrat alleges Progress Kentucky behind Mitch McConnell wiretap.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 11th at 03:00 PM |
I’m not going to be cute about this: Progress Kentucky is a racist organization. We know this because they went after Mitch McConnell’s wife for being, apparently, a spy for the Chinese. Progress Kentucky is a crazy organization. We know this because they thought that Ashley Judd was a viable candidate for Kentucky Senate (nobody else did, honestly). And, allegedly, Progress Kentucky is a stupid | Read More »
The lady’s not for jumping.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 10th at 01:00 PM |
Oh, this was Maggie to a T. Short version: There was a Swedish interviewer once who had a gag where she asked her interviewees to jump (a perfectly harmless gag, mind you). When the interviewer had Margaret Thatcher on, Thatcher downright refused to jump on cue. Cheerfully. Without apology. The word ‘puerile’ was used. As Maggie put it: I made great leaps forward, not little | Read More »
Mother Jones, Mitch McConnell, & Ashley Judd.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 9th at 12:00 PM |
A few things that I’m taking away from this (forwarded) Mother Jones “expose” of Mitch McConnell’s Ashley Judd oppo research: The whole thing reminds me of the Washington Post‘s ongoing (and rather pathetic) attempts to recreate that one, perfect fix that the WaPo had in 2006 when they destroyed George Allen’s Senate career. Yes, David Corn, last year you folks got your hands on a | Read More »

Barack Obama blames US Navy for increased North Korean tensions.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 7th at 09:30 AM |
Ever notice that this administration is only lightning-fast when it comes to shifting blame when things don’t work out perfectly? They practically left a vapor trail in their zeal to anonymously accuse the US military of being responsible for our tense situation with North Korea: So, it’s the Navy’s fault that the U.S.-North Korea spat has gone so far? That’s the apparent message from senior | Read More »
Washington Post: Mark Begich (D) is terrified of the NRA.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 6th at 10:30 AM |
Well, that’s what the WaPo wanted to say: Sen Mark Begich declared a “sea change” in the politics of gun control immediately after the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., telling his local newspaper that he would not hesitate to buck the powerful National Rifle Association. But in the months since, the gun rights group has made itself impossible for the Alaska Democrat, and many other | Read More »
Jake Tapper politely calls Barack Obama, Mike Bloomberg pig-ignorant about guns.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 5th at 04:00 PM |
Before you watch the video below, I invite you to first get a glass of something nice – why not? It’s Friday afternoon; the sun is over the yardarm somewhere – so that you may properly enjoy this next bit from Jake Tapper. He’s reporting on the strange inability of Barack Obama and Mike Bloomberg to publicly understand the difference between an automatic and a | Read More »
Electric car maker Fisker begins the usual “painful public death” process.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 5th at 02:00 PM |
Meet yet another of thank-God-he’s-former Energy Secretary Dr. Steven Chu’s bad calls with your tax money: Struggling carmaker Fisker Automotive laid off 160 employees, most of its staff, Friday as it struggles to reach a financing deal that would save the maker of the Karma hybrid sports car. The Anaheim company dismissed all but a core group of about 40 workers needed to keep the | Read More »
Some insurers may extend existing policies until after 2014 elections.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 3rd at 10:30 AM |
Well, we had to pass the bill before w… oh, never bloody mind. At issue is a little-known loophole in President Obama’s landmark legislation that enables health insurers to extend existing policies for nearly all of 2014. This runs contrary to the widespread belief that all health insurance must immediately comply with new federal rules starting Jan. 1, when most provisions of the law take | Read More »

By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 2nd at 06:29 PM |
Mark Sanford vs. Curtis Bostic. Polls closed at 7 PM: will put up links to results when I find them. [UPDATE: Politico's results here.] [FURTHER UPDATE: Looks like it's Mark Sanford.]
Welp. It’s a banner day for New York politicians getting arrested.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 2nd at 11:30 AM |
(H/T: Jammie Wearing Fools) Geez Louise. State Sen. Malcolm Smith and city Councilman Dan Halloran were arrested this morning on charges they were plotting to rig this year’s mayoral election through fraud and bribes. The pols allegedly formed an alliance built on cash payments and fraud to get Smith — one of the state’s top Democrats — placed on the GOP mayoral ballot, sources said. | Read More »
Hmm. Turns out Karl Marx was just as smelly and personally useless as his modern-day acolytes!
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 2nd at 09:00 AM |
Hey, you want a good laugh? Figure out when I started to chortle… at the New York Times. The Karl Marx depicted in Jonathan Sperber’s absorbing, meticulously researched biography will be unnervingly familiar to anyone who has had even the most fleeting acquaintance with radical politics. Here is a man never more passionate than when attacking his own side, saddled with perennial money problems and | Read More »
War on Science Update: Greenies attack White House over farmers’ rights.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | April 1st at 09:00 AM |
Here’s the background: the continuing resolution that’s keeping the government (and that passed last week) included a rider that, as the Competitive Enterprise Institute put it, “codifies existing USDA practices and elements of a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that lower courts should not automatically prohibit the planting of biotech crop varieties, or the harvest and sale of biotech crops already planted, when their commercial approval | Read More »
Attention, Republican Senators planning any random pushback against the administration…
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | March 28th at 12:00 PM |
…and/or any public spectacles along those lines: April 10th is your target date. I repeat: April 10th is your target date. President Barack Obama will launch a new round of schmoozing with his political opponents when he sits down to dinner with a dozen Republican senators on April 10. Obama has been trying to gain Republican cooperation on a host of items on his second-term | Read More »
