Monday, March 31–a date which will live in ignominy–Major League Baseball officially legalized whining. It was the bottom of the sixth inning, the Atlanta Braves were down by two in Milwaukee. Brewer Ryan Braun hit an infield bouncer to the
Poor Jesse Lee. Before last week, he was just an earnest, “progressive” blogger. (That’s their latest handle of choice having totally ruined previous ones such as “liberal,” “Democrat,” “socialist,” and “control freak.”) Jesse was a fairly anonymous fellow blogging from
If a man’s home is his castle, then his land is his kingdom. Property boundaries, of course, must be respected, and trespassing across them becomes a legitimate matter of government’s concern. So, too, if you build a huge bonfire that
With a face like this, is it any wonder we are the laughingstock of the world? To be fair, Secretary of State John Kerry started out at a considerable disadvantage. His long, narrow face — with those sad, sunken eyes
WASHINGTON–I certainly understand why freedom-lovers around the world are upset over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent incursions into Ukraine. And I understand why the good people of Georgia, Estonia and other Democracy-minded countries take exception to this sort of Iron
Deep in the doldrums of a second term, this White House is turning into a ridiculous parody of itself. Earlier today President Obama kept a threat he made during the State of the Union address by unveiling his “My Brother’s
The Republican Party has for years been in a quandary about how to address the issue of illegal immigration honestly and firmly without sounding racist. A good place for the party to start would be to knock off the brown-face minstrel show routine they
America’s president — heir to the world’s greatest document of freedom ever drawn up by man — strode across the hallowed grounds of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. With his hands clasped behind his back as a fuehrer surveying his troops or
Immigration as a top concern for American voters currently polls somewhere around two or three percent, according to the latest Gallup survey. That is right down there with “lack of respect for each other” and “hunger.” And remember, a good
Meet Preet Bharara, the U.S. prosecutor who last week indicted anti-Obama filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza on campaign finance charges. Mr. Bharara is the snapping jaws of Attorney General Eric H. Holder’s junkyard attack dog and the velvet fixer of President Obama’s
It is a safe bet that Tom Coburn will not have a big federal building named for him. He is not likely to get a monument erected around here honoring him. He won’t be sitting for an official portrait —
They warned against unstoppable encroachment by the federal government and were branded “radicals.” They openly protested and wore funny clothes. They became paranoid and suspected the government was spying on them because of their political beliefs. Fearful of a new
For the racist media, 2013 was another bad year. It culminated with the hideous display on MSNBC where a gang of nasty jabber-mouth panelists played the “knockout” game on Mitt Romney and his adopted black grandchild. Now there has been
It is probably safe to say that I am not the world’s greatest ballet critic. One big reason for this is that I have never actually been to a ballet. Sugar Plum fairies do not generally occupy this mind. All
With the War on Women now apparently behind us, politicians here have turned their attention to the next front: The War on Math. After months of agonizing over the draconian “sequester” cuts to the military and other government programs that
Investigators in New York and politicians here in America’s capital were shocked to learn last week that 50 Russian diplomats had defrauded the U.S. out of some $1.5 million as part of a Medicaid scam. “Diplomacy should be about extending
Did you hear the one about the U.S. Post Office and the Statue of Liberty? So the Postal Service decides to issue a stamp commemorating perhaps the single most iconic image around the world representing the United States of America,
George Mason’s home, Gunston Hall, just down the river from Mount Vernon, is closed on Thanksgiving Day but reopens to visitors the day after. In this season when Americans reflect upon all that we are grateful for, these stately and
Disgraced. An embarrassment. Utter disregard for the law. Toronto’s crack mayor, Rob Ford? No. President Obama. This is a man who was granted the extraordinary luxury of attending one of the most prestigious universities in the world. He went to
Despite what the hysterical media will tell you, those distant blasts you heard last week rolling from New York City to Richmond were not cannon fire from the ongoing civil war within the Republican Party. They were the first shots
Mama Grizzly warned us this would happen. Under Obamacare, the sick and weak and old would stand before death panels of bureaucrats to be granted life or death. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was laughed off the stage for making
WASHINGTON — That was America standing behind President Obama in the Rose Garden this week as he stammered and droned on and on, trying to explain away the epic disaster that Obamacare has become even before it has begun. “About
In the seven years since President Obama voted as a U.S. Senator to NOT raise the debt ceiling any further, he and his government cronies have piled up seven trillion dollars in crazy new spending that even our grandchildren will
WASHINGTON–Just when you thought nobody around here could agree on anything, Democrats and Republicans in Congress come together to unanimously express their unified and unwavering view of the innocent American taxpayer: SCREW YOU! That’s right. You can’t get these people
Fear not the shutdown, Republicans in Congress! You are the supposedly conservative alternative in politics, and we are currently $16 trillion in the hole. The least you can do is stop spending so much money everyday to keep the vile
