The Health Destruction Bill has passed and Americans are up in Arms. So the question is “What to Do? Well that is obvious. Throw the Democrats out in November. The great imponderable in American elections is the 30% to 50% (more or less) that don’t vote in elections. My guess is that a lot of…

Now that the best health care system known to man seems officially doomed, it is not surprising that some people on the right are succumbing to doom and gloom thinking. (I don’t want to point fingers, because the point is not who is saying it, so much as whether the argument has merit.) Being a…

Bastards. Yeah, they passed it. (Thanks once again to Stupak and his ongoing abortion con game.) A lot of people are reacting, but I especially liked Megan McArdle’s question: Are we now in a world where there is absolutely no recourse to the tyranny of the majority? There’s always recourse, and one form of recourse…

According to our local paper, fondly called The Red Star, only 25% of house sales in the area are foreclosure sales. Except that I know for a fact that the banks are putting off foreclosure as long as possible so as to avoid as long as they can booking the losses. In Boone, Ogle and…

In what I think was a remarkably idiotic display, Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm proclaimed that yesterday (Saturday, March 21, 2010) all Michiganders should refrain from eating meat! From Friday’s Free Press: Gov. Jennifer Granholm said Thursday that she won’t rescind her proclamation urging Michiganders to forgo meat-eating on Saturday, even as new demands arrived in…

Yesterday there was quite an uproar over the alleged use of the N-word by Tea Party demonstrators in front of black congressional representatives. This morning I see (via Glenn Reynolds) that Dana Loesch has posted a video of the “incident” which debunks the claim that the N-word was used. (Anyone want to bet whether there…

In an earlier post in which I discussed Dick Armey’s gloomy predictions that Obamacare would pass, I opined that while Dick Armey’s remarks might discourage ordinary political activists, they would be unlikely to deter the Tea Partiers: I think that even if Armey somehow did cause the activists to stay home, the real people would…

There are a lot of theories about what looks very much like the image of a face on an apple in front of Michelle Obama on the latest Newsweek cover. I saw Ann Althouse’s discussion, and she thinks it looks like Karl Marx. Here’s Newsweek’s incriminating apple, followed by Karl Marx: Whether it’s Marx or…

I was trying to ignore a Philadelphia area incident which a Wal-Mart customer managed to get on the store’s intercom and make the following “announcement“: “All black people leave the store now.” Observed a friend who emailed me the ink: How hateful! My god, what a blubbering, humorless cry-baby mentality. I wonder what would have…

Probably because I don’t like repeating myself, I don’t say as much about police abuses as I should. Stuff like SWAT team abuses, civil rights violations committed in the name of the “drug war,” and police retaliation against critics, go on all the time, as do a lot of things I don’t find the time…

Glenn Reynolds and Rand Simberg have pointed out something which is culturally very important: the Democrats have lost Howard Stern: When you lose Howard Stern you’ve lost ordinary, everyday people. Politically, Stern is left-center to left-leaning and casually to moderately well-informed. He is done with democrats. He now sees them as communists. Many of his…

It occurred to me that I was wasting my time earlier when I tried to interpret the uninterpretable Joe Biden. So I found Joe Biden’s gaffe-free inner Trololol voice, and decided to just let it speak for itself. As you can see, he has never made more sense. Enjoy.

When ABC’s Jake Tapper asked, “Do you hear back from venerable* [Congressional Democrats] who are worried this bill will cost them their jobs?” the thoroughly incomprehensible Joe Biden shared his “thoughts”: BIDEN: Well, I yes. Some of them I say they say, well, Joe, look, man, I mean, you know, you guys haven’t massaged this…

My friend E. J. Pagel advises me via e-mail that the Cheech and Chong Get It Legal tour is coming to the Rockford Coranado Theater on March 27th. Tickets are $35 and $50 per person. I have a former police officer friend who says that pot prohibition will end in America about 5 years after…

Congressman Tom Perriello tells what is bad about Congress. “If you don’t tie our hands we will keep stealing.” And the difference between Republicans and Democrats? Republicans generally steal less. Faint praise indeed. From Real Clear Politics. H/T Jccarlton at Talk Polywell Cross Posted at Power and Control

Yesterday I saw that the local Hollywood Video I pass on my regular running route is selling its entire inventory because it will be closing. It is part of a struggling chain which has filed for bankruptcy: NEW YORK – Movie Gallery Inc., owner of the Hollywood Video movie rental chain, has filed for Chapter…

Via an email from a friend, I learned about a disgusting new form of rudeness which irritated me so much that I thought it merited a blog post. Apparently (and I hope this is not a trend) car dealers are using a new technology to trigger obnoxious horn-honking in vehicles owned by people behind on…

If the Health Care Destruction Bill passes Idaho will sue the Federal Government to prevent implimentation of the individual mandate. Idaho took the lead in a growing, nationwide fight against health care overhaul Wednesday when its governor became the first to sign a measure requiring the state attorney general to sue the federal government if…
