I found an interesting FDR quote while perusing NewsRealBlog. From Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning.Excerpted from the chapter on FDR: “But the New Deal was a product of the impulses and ideas of its era. And those ideas and impulses are impossible…

It just keeps coming up. It came up again in a Hot Air thread. A commenter said: I can’t think of a person who identifies as a social Conservative who isn’t automatically a fiscal Conservative I can think of one. The former leader of that gang, Mike Huckabee. Compare and contrast his record with that…

In case you haven’t heard of it by now, a bunch of Sarah Palin e-mails that were available by a Freedom of Information Request have been released. The big deal with the e-mails? There was no big deal. WaPo’s also chasing a hot lead that Palin really is Trig’s mother. Matt Welch of Reason surfed…

The first mate and I were trying out a digital camera she had after getting a larger memory card for it. She wanted to try something a little risque – which is unusual for her. I usually have to use Jewish foreplay on her for things like that. I got her to tone it down…

The producers of the Palin Campaign (not yet) bio film “The Undefeated,” plan to release an X-rated version. The director of “The Undefeated,” a glowing new film about Sarah Palin, said he plans to release an “X-rated” version of the film to better convey “vile” comments about her from sources including celebrities and obscure Twitter…

A description of what the Israeli Prime Minister did to our beloved Resident. …getting your backside bored .060″ over by Netanyahu the other day… And No. I’m not going to do a translation. Ask a gear head.

My printer (Canon MP160 all in one) has been out of wack for the last few months due to lack of ink. I had a cartridge refill kit available but I hadn’t used it because the refill requirements seemed so stringent. I was way overestimating the difficulty. I used the single version of the following…

Actually she resigned on 3 July 2009. So let me see if I can figure this out. This coming 4th of July will be two years AND one day from that date. How interesting. What some folks were thinking back then is also interesting. …Palin also hinted at continuing political ambitions when she repeated a…

Commenter JLawson at Paul Launches Assault On RomneyCare had this to say about the Republican Presidential field: If Palin runs, she’ll get my money and vote. If she doesn’t, I’ll hode my noze and vote for the R – because we can’t afford another 4 years of Captain Clueless in the White House. At least…

Hacksaw Bow? Sounds like a small river town in Michigan. But that is not what I’m talking about. It is a criticism of Jennifer Rubin’s opinion of Palin’s political status. Rubin thinks Palin is interested in the kingmaker/pundit role. She doesn’t want to be President. I said: Let me explain what Palin is doing to…

Here is a little ditty I got by e-mail. Republican Liberty Caucus Advisory Board member Gary Johnson, the former two-term Governor of New Mexico, is being excluded from the upcoming CNN/WMUR/New Hampshire Union-Leader Republican Presidential debate taking place in Manchester on Monday, June 13. Maybe it has something to do with the criteria for being…

Commenter Clint makes a very good point in a comment to Howard Dean: Palin Is An Obama Beater. Let’s also not make the mistake of picking a candidate because he’s “electable”. That’s just playing right into the MSM’s hands — “electable” is just shorthand for “treated with respect by the MSM”, isn’t it? Yep.

(Note that the time shown in the image is GMT – heh) Ron Paul is launching an all out attack on Mitt Romney and the socialized medicine plan he devised for Massachusetts. This could be just round one for Paul. It looks like Paul is only beginning to hit Romney on health care. Sandwiched between…

This is some news. Howard Dean says Palin can beat Obama. And not just when it comes to making news. Dean says his fellow Democrats should beware of inside-the-Beltway conventional wisdom that Obama would crush Palin in a general-election contest next year. “I think she could win,” Dean told The Hill in an interview Friday.…

According to Hill Buzz, “Cupcakes are da bomb!” The British intelligence agency M16 has managed to hack into Al Qaeda’s online magazine “Inspire”( which “inspires” jihadists to make bombs and plan terrorists attacks against infidels). The brilliant Brits replaced the magazine’s bomb making recipe section with cupcake recipes. Ingenious. It’s like something out of a…

As you can tell English is probably their second or third language. No matter. This is one of my favorite versions of “Sweet Jane”. Italy’s Poddighe Power Trio is reviewed in English. Along with some nice Lou Reed mp3s. www.Poddighe.com Cross Posted at Power and Control

Remember Pee Bottle and Bull Crap from the old cartoon series? Well they are at it again. (just my way of avoiding the subject) Whenever I try to use a public restroom, everything freezes up! No matter how badly I need to go, nothing happens if I’m not at home. I can urinate when I’m…

Yep. Palin can’t run for President according to the professionals. “The field isn’t set yet, not by a long shot,” Palin said during a visit to Gettsyburg, Pa. “It’s going to change up a lot. And I think there will be more strong candidates jumping in.” Will Palin be one of them? The political professionals…
