In response to Julia, Get Your Gun!: The seeming paradox between talk of feminist “empowerment” and government dependency is easily resolved by realizing that the Left has sold many women a sense of empowerment in the Rousseau sense of authenticity.
It would be interesting to do a Venn diagram charting the intersection between people spewing hate at the Pope, people with “COEXIST” bumper stickers on their cars, self-professed fans of left-wing maniac Chris Dorner, and those who think Dr. Benjamin
The Walking Dead is back on TV tonight, after a “midseason break” that probably worked as well as such tactics ever have to whet appetites for the bottom half of a season. It’s a remarkable TV phenomenon: a show that
In response to Out of the Mouths of Reporters: Another thought about the “global warming attracts asteroids” nuttiness: Leftists understand that even patently absurd propaganda can be effective when it’s wall-to-wall. Global warming (and later, when that term became too
In response to Out of the Mouths of Reporters: That’s really one for the books, Ace, although as you mentioned, it’s not really all that far removed from the regular fare at the Church of Global Warming. It’s funny how
In response to Friday Night Question: Of the three you mentioned, Lisa, I’d probably have to tip my cap to MTV, which resembles its original format in only the most vestigial sense. I remember growing up in the 80s and
Michelle Malkin has a nice rundown of the previous adventures of the Blame Righty Mob, which fell suddenly and universally silent when it was time to Blame Lefty for Chris Dorner. Tucson shooter Jared Loughner was but the highest-profile killer
The CW network has a show called “Arrow” that is meant to be the grim, gritty, relatively “realistic” version of long-running DC Comics superhero Green Arrow. Nobody calls the new guy “Green Arrow,” even though he does indeed dress in
In addition to taking great care to avoid mentioning the political leanings of the L.A. madman, the media has also done a fine job of ignoring the latest late-term abortion death. Whatever one’s stance on the abortion issue, it’s difficult
In response to This Round’s On You: I thought armed teachers and school security guards were a nutty idea only a gun-crazed crackpot like Wayne LaPierre could come up with. So why is the Department of Education buying so much
In response to Obama to “Focus” on Job Creation for 17th Time: I wonder if Obama will explain why he didn’t mention a single word of this during his vaunted Second Inaugural. Simple question for every real reporter to ask:
In response to Nick Gillespie’s brilliant insight about journalists’ hypocrisy on drones: I added a few thoughts about Gillespie’s fine piece here. (Special guest appearance by Ace, because I thought immediately of something he wrote the other day when I
Hey, liberal media guys! Remember Sheriff Clarence Dupnik? Sure you do. You’ve probably still got his number in your speed-dial systems from 2011. He’s probably still in your email contact list. For the benefit of those who don’t remember
Word comes from Walt Disney Co. that they’re planning to make a series of “stand alone” movies about major Star Wars characters, in addition to the forthcoming Episode VII sequel. Yoda, Han Solo, and Boba Fett have been kicked around
I hope everyone has seen the flashback video of Piers Morgan telling Mark Kelly that Sarah Palin should call Kelly’s wife, Rep. Gabby Giffords, to apologize for her alleged role in creating the “Climate of Hate” that led to the
In response to Piers Morgan: Fox News’ Ratings Have ‘Really Plummeted’ : Maybe things will look up for Piers’ ratings, now that he’s received a very high-profile endorsement.
A President who didn’t care… a gigantic government in which nobody talks to anybody else… a genius foreign policy team that didn’t realize a hotbed of al-Qaeda activity, in a nearly lawless reason of a shaky country, might be dangerous
In response to Flush Twice, It’s a Long Way to the Department of Energy: I’m also doing what I can to spread the love for this tirade from Sen. Paul, because this is exactly what we needed against Obama in
In response to MD Senator plays chess during testimony on new state gun-grabbing law: He’s playing chess during gun control hearings? A simulation of military combat and political upheaval? A game the MSNBC brain trust would doubtless condemn as coded
It turns out that Bruce Willis is a big Second Amendment supporter. “I think that you can’t start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it’s all going to become undone,” he told the
Rand Paul gave a big foreign policy speech to the Heritage Foundation today, in which he presented a greatly tidied-up version of the elder Paul’s anti-interventionism as the true expression of Reaganite foreign policy. It was an interesting speech, filled
In response to So What Was Obama’s Skeet Score?: Come now, Ace, everyone knows the first rule of Skeet Club is that you do not talk about Skeet Club. I believe that is also the second rule. Since Obama has
In response to In Defense of Chris Rock: I suspect your father was also less likely to send a drone to kill you. And there’s no way his debt/earnings ratio was as bad as Obama’s, or you would have been
Chris Rock led an unimpressive little celebrity posse to Capitol Hill to “demand a plan to end gun violence” today, and unbosomed himself of this brilliant observation: “I’m just here to support the president of the United States. The president
In response to DC tops list of nation’s worst traffic: The hot new meme from Obama’s media cheerleaders is that traffic jams are a sign of economic recovery, so I guess gridlock in D.C. is perfectly consistent with its status
