I’m not sure the old saying “everbody loves a winner” always applies to political winners. I think it might have more to do with the fact that in politics people love underdogs, and distrust “winners” when they display too much arrogance. (Nobody likes sore losers, but sore winners are unbearable.) In an earlier post, M.…

Today’s Detroit Free Press has a real horror story about a family which was torn apart by zealous bureaucrats acting in the name of a cruel superstition called “facilitated communication.” According to the educrats who believe in this discredited nonsense, autistic children “communicate” by having their hands placed on computer keyboards, while the “facilitator” types…

The Democrat chances in November appear to be declining at a very rapid pace. Their numbers are falling off a cliff. Democratic jitters about the US presidential race have spread to Capitol Hill, where some members of Congress are worried that Barack Obama’s faltering campaign could hurt their chances of re-election. Party leaders have been…

Speaking of crime, a recent psychopathic hammer attack in Philadelphia has been getting national attention. The lead story is titled “Psycho hammers subway passenger“: As the SEPTA subway train rocked forward, a thirty-something guy leaned over near the doorway and gently planted a kiss on the little boy at his side. When the train neared…

It’s not every day that I see a headline reading “Man rubbed with spices, other beaten with sausage,” but that’s what’s in the news: FRESNO, Calif. — A stranger broke into a home east of Fresno, rubbed spices on the body of one of two men as they slept and used an 8-inch sausage to…

Here is the Charlie Gibson Sarah Palin Interview. Let me start you out with a question or two and then go read the whole thing. GIBSON: Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you, and it is really the central question. Can you look the country in…

The Democrats appear to be in a lot of pain. Their hopes and dreams appear to be fading away. Normally they don’t start getting desperate until October. This is an early crash. Even by Kerry standards. “They were set up to run ‘experience versus change,’ what they had run [against Hillary] Clinton,” Trippi said. “And…

Fascinating. Seven years into the war that officially started with the 9/11 attack, and even though Al Qaeda is serving up yet another boastful video, a large part of the world still claims not to know who was responsible for 9/11. The survey of 16,063 people in 17 nations found majorities in only nine countries…

Barack is in trouble. So says Mind Ray Magician Karl Rove. If Mr. Obama keeps attacking Mrs. Palin, he could suffer the fate of his Democratic predecessors. These assaults highlight his own tissue-thin résumé, waste precious time better spent reassuring voters he is up for the job, and diminish him — not her. Consider Mr.…

Why, because the great Porky Pig defeated a suicide bomber, that’s why. And here’s the video to prove it. Watch for yourself. So now you know. UPDATE: My thanks to Glenn Reynolds for the link, and a warm welcome to all. For those who have trouble with the above, the YouTube link is here, and…

In a fairly major news story today, I see that “community organizer” is now code language for race. [New York Governor] Paterson referred to McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin who compared her work experience to Obama’s. “So I suppose a small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except with real responsibilities,” she…

“These are serious times and they call for a serious debate…spare me all the phony outrage. Spare me all the phony talk about change.” I’d name the politician who said that, but it would spoil the suspense. I have to say, though, that I enjoy phony outrage, and I don’t understand why people are so…

Barbara Oakley (author of Evil Genes: Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron Failed, and My Sister Stole My Mother’s Boyfriend) is puzzled by the fact that psychologists (and many “social scientists”) continue to oppose growing evidence that psychopathology has a strong biological and genetic component. Noting that “the DSM in its current incarnation hasn’t incorporated…

∅bama has made a statement about pigs in lipstick that seems to insult Sarah Palin. In fact it seems to have insulted a lot of women. If it was unintentional – ∅bama is a stupid politician. If it was intentional – ∅bama is a stupid politician. Proof positive you can have it both ways. Which…

Evidently followers of ∅ don’t want you to see the YouTube version of the video. So I have changed services. It is also available here.

There is a whole lot of smoke about Obama’s latest insult of the McCain/Palin Campaign. Instapundit has a good roundup. It appears that Obama is resorting to something called the dozens. An art form popular in the ghetto where males hurl insults at each other to prove their manhood. “The Dozens”, also known as “Yo…
