Ah, a deal: does it even matter?

After reading Mark Steyn at his most scathing, no: The Democrat model of governance is to spend $4 trillion while only collecting $2 trillion, borrowing the rest from tomorrow. Instead of “printing money,” we’re printing credit cards and pre-approving our unborn grandchildren. To facilitate this proposition, Washington created its own form of fantasy accounting: “baseline budgeting,” [...]

“I like to say that for the black community, nothing will change until we learn to love our children more than we love the Democratic party”

So argues “Unlikely Supporter” Sonnie Johnson, a 30 year-old wife and mom. Why so “unlikely” according to ABC News? Oh, yeah, she’s black. Whoopsie, your liberal slip is showing: The 30-year-old African-American mother and wife is featured in “The Undefeated” as one of the many people Palin captivated when John McCain thrust her onto the national [...]

Palin to GOP: “Fight like a girl.”

Fabulousness. Katrina Trinko at NRO: In a speech in Madison, Wis. today Sarah Palin talked like a candidate, praising Gov. Scott Walker and blasting congressional Republicans for the budgetdeal. “After some politics as usual and accounting gimmicks, we find out … it’s not even $38 billion dollars. It’s less than $1 billion dollars in real [...]

Of mice and (straw) men

So the petulant President lied. Stooped to new lows, even, in deliberate falsehoods and personal attacks on Paul Ryan. From the WSJ: Did someone move the 2012 election to June 1? We ask because President Obama’s extraordinary response to Paul Ryan’s budget yesterday—with its blistering partisanship and multiple distortions—was the kind Presidents usually outsource to some [...]

Sunday funnies

Do any of you hear Mark Steyn when reading his essays? I do. Take this, for example: I started the engine. It was a manual, and, being distracted by the flying curses and jiggling knockers, I stalled the thing. And for a moment I had a horrible vision of the two chavs (in Britspeak) falling [...]

“The welfare state has done to black Americans what slavery couldn’t do. . . . And that is to destroy the black family”

So argues my idol, Walter Williams, in the WSJ Weekend Interview to launch his new autobiography, “Up from the Projects.”  A snippet: “We lived in the Richard Allen housing projects” in Philadelphia, says Mr. Williams. “My father deserted us when I was three and my sister was two. But we were the only kids who didn’t [...]

Why my next born will be christened “Don Surber”

Because he rocks.  From today’s post, “I do not want civil discourse,” he explains: For a decade, from the election of Bush 43 forward, the Left has lied and cheated as it tried to return to power. Al Gore made a mockery out of the American electoral system by being a spoilsport over Florida, which [...]

Christmas in America, circa 1776

Via Ed Morrissey, an early present from Bill Whittle on the meaning of Christmas in American history. (Disclaimer: for those who feel “excluded” by the sight of Christmas trees, this one might not be for you.  Our nation was founded with Judeo-Christian values and ideals.) Ed Morrissey notes: Bill quotes John Adams and Thomas Jefferson [...]

Liberal angst and anguish: post-election edition

Oh my.  From Vanity Fair, liberal bedwetting on display from the editor, h/t Hot Air headlines: The general anti-Obama rage out there is palpable. But it’s no more virulent than the anti-Bush sentiment that has pervaded the country for much of the past decade—although this being America, there’s an attendant hatred for Obama that has more [...]

What else could happen?

And I’m not just referring to an unexpected trip to the ER a few days shy of my in-laws arrival.  We are witness to incredible events unfolding across the country. Stacy McCain, hot on the trail in Alaska, reports: “It’s Miller Time, America,” referring to Alaskan (RINO) incumbent Murkowski’s concession to Joe Miller last night.  [...]
