With the exception of the NY Times, the Philly Inquirer is probably the most liberal slanted newspaper in the country. You can see other instances of their biased editorial board and wild inaccuracies here. Remember, this is the paper that ran a 21-day endorsement of John Kerry right before he was beaten by George W. Bush.Today we have the Inqy running this ridiculously liberal piece:It's good to

With the floundering slate of candidates we have to hear from every day, is it any wonder people are pining for better choices? We see Romney and think that we could do better with Marco Rubio. We watch Gingrich and think that Mitch Daniels is more formidable. But they all pale next to Chris Christie.Christie has shown what it means to be a conservative and has done so with wide-ranging actions

When the Smartest President in History (TM) was inaugurated, many of us looked at his policies on energy. We knew it would be green jobs based even though green jobs have never really been defined. We knew he would possibly attack coal-fired power plants and natural gas, which he has done through the back door using the EPA. We suspected that he would give huge incentives for electric vehicles as

A little bit of snow followed by a little rain yesterday and we have an icy mess in South Jersey. Still, it was nice to wake up to some of the white stuff on the trees.Anyway, here's what is happening in this crazy world:-Rumors of Joe Pa's death spread over social media like wildfire last night. Apparently they aren't quite true. Man, the power of Facebook and Twitter is massive. -Juan Williams

Newt Gingrich crushed the field and has some momentum going into Florida but just how much is debatable. Are Republicans going to shoot themselves in the foot (again) and nominate a guy who's unelectable again the most beatable incumbent in decades? Maybe.Here's the results:Santorum had a respectable showing and should have made enough impact to at least be considered for the VP slot...or at

We're starting to see the problems that always affect moderate candidates in primaries happening to Romney. In all primaries when there's no incumbent running, the centrist candidates have to go far outside their comfort zone to appease the more hard core voters who actually get out and vote in their state's contests. Mitt is a fiscal conservative and a social moderate. When he tries to be

So, the word is out that the movie dramatization of Game Change will portray Sarah Palin as a complete idiot and the worst selection for a running mate in campaigning history. But unfortunately, we got stuck with actual worst VP in history:Vice President Joe Biden had his (5,400,321st--ed) “oops” moment Wednesday speaking in a 49er-crazed San Francisco when he told a crowd at a city political

Remember how Obama kept saying he was going to be focused constantly on jobs and do everything possible to create new one? That turns out to have been complete bullshit:the Obama Administration rejected the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project on Wednesday, scuttling a key energy initiative that would have created an influx of badly-needed U.S. jobs, but one that has also riled

What's up y'all?Another mild winter day in New Jersey. I blame global warming climate change...and George Bush of course (that's still fashionable in some circles).-Rick Perry made a really bad decision to run for president. To paraphrase Honest Abe: better to be quiet and thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Perry removed all doubt really quickly and now is polling third.

The Occupy Wall Street idiots are getting a hard lesson in reality when it comes to financing there inane "movement":Occupy Wall Street—the movement built on protesting corporate greed and income inequality—is running out of money.After raising more than $700,000 last fall, protesters who keep track of money for Occupy Wall Street reported this week that the group has about $170,000 in its bank

We all knew Newt was mostly a douchebag but he's now gone full douchebag. From his days in the House to his subsequent lobbying and deals with Fannie and Freddie, he's shown that he is the ultimate Washington animal who will slither to anyone willing to throw him a signed check. He rose quickly to the top of the GOP primary heap but went to the bottom even quicker once people had a chance to

The video of a few Marines pissing on dead Taliban has got the media in full Abu Ghraib mode. Any story that makes the military look bad is, in the eyes of our media betters, a story that deserves to be reported continuously. This story has it all: hung-ho Marines demeaning the dead they killed and acting all macho, Americans acting like animals and video of the entire episode to boot. It's a

You may remember back in this heady days of 2008 when the light bringer Obama promised us that once we elevated him to the highest office in the land he would automatically make the rest of the world our friends. He would accomplish this with his sheer force of will and high level intellectualism if I remember things correctly.Since a little over half the voters screwed the rest of us and did

Alan Colmes has always been your typical beta male liberal. He was second fiddle behind Hannity on their show before Fox management realized that Colmes was just dragging the show down. He has a radio show, which can't be found anywhere on the dial and is still on Fox due to some feeling they owe him something or some other garbage reason.

To be clear, us on the right enjoy the schadenfreude of the NY Times staffers suffering. Today we have the latest example of the Times treating their employees exactly like liberals accuse people like Mitt Romney of treating his employees. Let's start with this little tidbit:The letter calls attention to several grievances. Last week, Times brass notified foreign citizens employed in the paper's

Around the rest of the country and world it's been just as strange. Here's my choices for stories of the year:10.

Today we'll read in the op/ed sections of our local papers what 9/11 meant, what it didn't mean, how it affected us or didn't, whether we should have gone to war in Afghanistan and Iraq or not and even that tired old liberal canard that we deserved it.

For those of us on the right and many centrists, it's been quite a show watching liberals constantly twisting themselves in knots trying to defend Obama on many issues that are utterly indefensible. The thinking goes that Obama was left a stinking economy, two wars and myriad other issues that the hated Dubya left behind for him to contend with. It's no wonder he can't get anything done. If the

Anyone paying even semi-attention knows that the Great Global Warming Swindle was about nothing more that a covert plan to redistribute people's hard-earned money to politicians. Hell, I've been writing that for the last eight years on this blog (officially tomorrow).As if we needed more proof, we have this:Successive federal governments have spent more than $5.5 billion over the past decade on

Happy President's Day.Here's what's new:-George Soros said that Fox News is like the Nazi's. Glenn Reynolds responds appropriately.-This report says Qadaffi has turned tail and run. Could this be a Ceaucescu moment? BTW, so much for his son "fighting to the last bullet".

I've long considered myself a devout fiscal conservative but a libertarian-conservative on social issues. In my purview, elections should be decided on tax rates, spending cuts and deficits not abortion, gay marriage or racial quotas. The social conservatives have held sway in the GOP for decades and wouldn't think of saying anything that would upset Christian groups going as far back as

Tunisia was first, then Egypt now we have liberty and freedom trying to break out all over Asia. Moammar Qaddafi resorted to using live bullets and missiles on his citizens.

How quickly things change. The various unions still possessing clout thought they had the man and the timing to stage a labor rebound in a country that has seen union membership plummeting in the last few decades. Instead, they gave Obama millions of their members' money (which member's had no say in) with the expectation that he would push for and sign union-friendly legislation such as "Card

Hu Jintao is in Washington and discussing issues with Obama. Obama, of course, bowed to him as he probably should have because it was Mr. Hu's largess that allowed Obama to drastically expand the deficit to otherwordly levels that will haunt us for decades--but I digress.China has to be handled with a certain tact that they didn't deserve previously since they now have effectively displaced us (

My first reaction to the attempted murder of a Congresswoman and the successful murder of a federal judge was outrage and horror at what one man could do. The left and the media (but I'm redundant) took it as an opportunity to blame the right and Tea Party types because as Rahm Emanuel once said: "never let a good crisis go to waste". They immediately tied this to conservatives without a shred of

Happy New Years Eve day. It's been an interesting year to say the least. Unfortunately, it's been a year where a significant group of American people have sunk deeper into the economic abyss thanks to the failed policies of the Obama administration. Hope and Change: we hoped for a change from Obamanomics and we changed the House to do it so there's an inkling of sunlight. Anyway, here's what is

Ezra Klein is a hard-core lefty first and foremost. He's supposedly the wonkish, young, intellectual liberals can believe in. He's smarter then everyone else by their collective reckoning for no other reason than he rebuts everything conservatives have to say with inane commentary and hazy "facts".

As happens every year in late December, the various pundits and pundettes run down the Top Ten Stories of 2010 with the smug air of self-importance. Take for instance that irritating bastard Chris Matthews t whom his morning did his version by giving out various awards such as the Chutzpah Award.

So I wake up this morning and jump into the Jeep for the trek to work. I flip on ESPN radio and what do I hear but the stunning news that Cliff Lee is coming back to Philly.Until yesterday, all the news was leaning to him signing with the hated Yankees or staying with the Rangers. But Ruben Amaro, Jr. righted a wrong and outsmarted the overrated Brian Cashman by landing the best pitcher on the

One month ago, Conservatives won a mandate and injected new blood into the dying body we call Congress.

It's been awhile since I've posted anything here but the Wikileaks saga has brought me out of my self-induced hiatus.When Obama came to power, he was the man who was going to undo all the wrongs perpetrated by the Bush administration with regard to our image around the world. He was going to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, stop global warming, stop Iran from producing nukes and get us out

The NY Times saying that Obama developed a strategy of meshing the Tea Party with the GOP. Now, while that may be abhorrent to the GOP establishment, to most Americans that would be an asset, not a liability.Obama quickly back-tracked and slammed the Times for the report (even though everyone knows his administration floated the balloon out there and got unwelcome feedback). He knew that he had

This shows just how FUBAR the dems are. Ted Kennedy plunged off a bridge one night while hammered, allowed a young woman to drown while he ran away, slept and called his lawyer and he was a revered figure.

It's kind of depressing when a decidedly beta male tries to be a leader.

Some weren't fooled and wrote about it on a daily basis.Obama knew exactly how he had to proceed; he knew that once people got wise to his game, they would be appalled. When they showed resistance, he rammed his agenda through. The public is hip to the game and are poised to

I think Zuck may just have a point and he was an Obama supporter.I for one am happy that Obama has spent roughly three-quarters of the summer on vacation because it's not given him much time to come up with more creative ways to torpedo any signs of an economic turnaround. He and Mayor Nanny must have had a lot to discuss.Yesterday we had more news that proves what Joe Biden calls "Recovery

This has been kicked around the blogosphere since Toby Harnden wrote about it last week (the Brit press is light years ahead of the hack American press) in the Telegraph.Obama has pretty much whined for the last six-months or so about how hard the job is and how Bush left him with a mess.

You may remember that the US-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children. This has been documented

Many pro athletes tend to have a really hard time adjusting to the fame and money they thought would be the thing they desired most. Their whole lives they were told how great they were, how much they mean to the town or city, how awesome their very existence is. They hear this for years and when they make it to the pro level and live what they thought was their dream they end up dysfunctional,

Christie for president?Republican NJ Gov. Chris Christie , who has taken controversial steps since taking office, has a higher approval rating than Pres. Obama in New Jersey, according to a new poll released Thursday.Just more than half - 51% - approve of Christie's performance as governor while 36% disapprove in the Quinnipiac poll. Obama has a 47% approval rating in the survey and the same

You may recall the epic Seinfeld episode where a woman thought Jerry and George were gay prompting them to utter "we're not gay--not that there's anything wrong with that".Obama now finds himself in that situation as 20% of Americans believe he's a Muslim. That can only expand as he foolishly waded into the Ground Zero mosque issue when he didn't need to. He hasn't changed perceptions by not

Posting's been light this summer. It'll probably pick up as we get into September and near the biggest election of my lifetime.Here's what's news:-Sarah Palin is something feminist's abhor: she's hot, lives what she says and appeals to people---pretty much everything feminists are not. The equally hot Tammy Bruce spells it all out. She has this nice editorial cartoon. See below for a comparison

I guess those of us who saw right through the charade during the campaign should feel some vindication but instead we just feel sad that people got suckered by this fraud now sitting in the Oval Office--when he's not playing golf or on vacation that is.Here's the latest numbers from Gallup, which is comprised of a 3-day rolling average so his comments supporting the Ground Zero mosque and

The last full day of the vacation and it's been a good and relaxing one. Oh to hit the lottery...Here's what's new:-Note to Conservatives: Let it go! So a judge overturned Prop 8 allowing same-sex marriages in California and gave the finger to voters who passed it. So what? We have a crucial election to win in three months and cannot get side-tracked by a Republican-appointed judge ruling the law

It's feeling more and more like that every day. In what was supposed to be "Recovery Summer" it's been anything but. Drearier economic news comes out on a daily basis and Americans are now at the point where they've lost hope. Hope in the administration, hope in Congress and hope in a deficit-inducing stimulus approach.How bad have things become in Washington? So bad that Obama's best and

Still on vacation. Fishing and relaxing has its merits.Here's what's going on:-Nancy Pelosi's pledge to run the the "most ethical congress ever" hasn't worked out so well. Waters and Rangel have made it a racial issue right on cue so Pelosi now has that to deal with. Good.-Obama claims victory in Iraq sans the banner and carrier. He should call up GWB on a daily basis to thank him for that even

It's a small but hopefully first victory against the bill that will simultaneously destroy the economy and the best healthcare system in the world:This just in: Virginia federal judge Henry Hudson on Monday ruled that he’ll let the state of Virginia’s challenge to the landmark health care law passed in March go forward, at least for the time being.

On vacation this week, which would explain why I'm writing this on a Monday morning at 8:00 AM.Anyway, here's what's news:-Fox News is movin on up to the front row. It seems so fitting and probably makes liberals insane that the reason they moved up is because an old, reliable hack blurted out her true feelings about Israel (a view many in the MSM agree with) and had to be shit-canned.-Obama may

Back in 2001 and 2003, George W. Bush pushed through tax cuts that were small in comparison to those that had been signed Reagan or even Kennedy. The Democrats and liberals around the nation whined about the fact that they would have to give back some of the money they were pilfering from the public. The people, you see, have no clue how to spend their own money so it was incumbent upon the

That sound you heard earlier today was the sound of a million liberal skulls exploding in unison. They got a watered down (yet still horrific) healthcare bill, Gitmo is still open, Obama increased troops in Afghanistan instead of bringing them home and now the Dems are selling them out on their long-held and most desired wet dream:WASHINGTON—The U.S. Senate is shelving efforts to pass legislation

Remember when we elected Obama and we were told that we have now entered a post-racial America? Instead, we now have an America divided by race but it's not white people who are the oppressors but the exact opposite:[D]ealerships were retained because they were recently appointed, were key wholesale parts dealers, or were minority- or woman-owned dealerships.

The non-blogging hiatus is over and you'll see more frequent posts as we near election time. Here's what's news:-I'm guessing the Democrats will the lowest Jewish turnout for them ever. Thanks to Obama's disjointed policy toward Israel and idiocy like this.-The Brits are going the route of funneling money into businesses that are job creators not government that kills employment.

This was destined to be the summer we started to turn things around, took steps toward the bold new Obama-inspired economy where everyone had a green job and The One was exulted for delivering us from the evils of free-market economics.How's that working out for you?Apparently, not so well:The Consumer Price Index, the government's most closely watched inflation barometer, dipped 0.1 percent in

Things that are currently pissing me off:-If you are driving in the fast lane and doing anywhere south of 80 mph, you are a pussy driver so get the hell out of my way. I commute 162 miles round rip and you're blocking my way home.-Obama is about to go on the air nationwide and talk about how he was on the BP spill from day one and then use the occasion of the worst environmental disaster to call

Leadership is a quality that few possess and even fewer know how to use effectively. Sure, some people have that certain something that makes you want to listen to them or follow them but that is not what I define as leadership. Leadership is not only making tough decisions in pressure-filled situations but sticking by those decisions and getting people on board with where you want to take them.

Not all that much time to write but still following events as they occur in real time to paraphrase Jack Bauer.Here's what's new:-Israeli's are organizing a flotilla to help the Turkish Kurds and to help those oppressed in Cyprus.

10 dead at this point but it will surely be more.The background is that a Turkish boat loaded with pro-Palestinian activists tried to run the blockade Israel has enforced in hopes of reducing the daily attacks they've suffered. The IDF attempted to land soldiers aboard the boat and expected little if any resistance. They were wrong as the rioters attacked the soldiers before the could land using

On this Memorial Day while we are still fighting two wars, I ask for you to take a second and think of those who gave everything for this great nation. From those who fought and died at Cowpens during the American Revolution, through those who died on both sides during the Civil War, on to those who were mortally wounded in WWI and their sons who breached the Atlantic Wall on D-Day in Europe or

I experienced a personal tragedy this week and music has always been the tool I used to get through personal struggles. Here are some of the songs I use for just that purpose:Let me start with the Grateful Dead epic Brokedown Palace. This is a beautiful version from a sound check at Winterland in June 1977. Simply one of the most sorrowful versions ever with Jerry soaring on vocals:Continuing

Nicholas Kristof has always been a solipsistic little prick. His writing always trended to the grandiose and was aimed at elitist's who would tell their friends in Manhattan what a genius he is. That pretty much describes the entire staff of the opinion section in the Times but I digress. The fact that the Wall Street Journal is destroying the Times and pretty much no one actually pays attention

I can't ever seem to wrap my brain around the liberal way of thinking and to be honest, if I do, it will probably scare the hell out of me. Not that I think they are as smart as they themselves seem to believe but deviousness is something that just comes easily to them.Take the Joe Sestak job offer for instance. Sestak was offered a job--whether non-paying or paying is in doubt but is irrelevant-

It's been a tough month and a tougher few days but writing makes me feel better.Anyway, here's what's new.-The Atlantic Monthly gets caught up in their remaining Bush Derangement Syndrome psychosis. Oh how that magazine has fallen since Michael Kelly died in 2003.-Obama's Lewinsky-gate: Sestak issue continues to slowly unravel and could lead to impeachment. High crimes and misdemeanors indeed.

George W. Bush had exactly two days before the media slammed him for his response to Hurricane Katrina. It was within a week that IQ-challenged Kanye West noted that Bush "doesn't care about black people". Regardless of he fact that the preparations for just such a catastrophic event was the responsibility of then mayor Ray Nagin and Governor Kathleen Blanco, the media spun it as George Bush

Happy Mother's day to all the mom's out there.Here's what's new:-The AP drops to their knees and rewrites history as it happens. The response was horrible yet not even close to as horrid as the non-response (and non-reporting) to the Nashville floods.-Tea Partiers claim a scalp.

It's lost most of the sting one felt as it happened in real-time as these things tend to yet looking back, the story was amazing. A Democratic mayor in a one-party town dropped a bomb on the house of a radical group and burned a cty block to the ground. He then got re-elected.Philly in a nutshell.

Like we need another reason. Be it the way they allow the despots of the world to run roughshod over human rights, the rapes of women they were sent to protect or the vile way they attack Israel at every opportunity, the UN has proven to be nothing more than a gathering of elites who care less about human rights every day and more about a free trip on the dime of the taxpayers back home to
