  • A Racism Surge In America

    You remember when Obama was way up in the polls? (Wasn’t that like a week ago? – Yes it was [ed.]) Now that he is falling back in the polls Joe Biden knows why it is happening. Racism. It is like a disease. Once other people get infected it is only a matter of (not…

  • Serious about fighting the biggest enemy?

    Barack Obama likes to talk about cynicism, and in a very critical way. In the following speech before AIPAC in March, he expresses gratitude for having so many young people in his campaign, and describes “cynicism” as the biggest enemy we’re going to have to fight. Presumably, he thinks young people are less “cynical” than…

  • Fight waste! By wasting more!

    I love government coverups, especially when the purpose of the coverup is to keep government bureaucrats from being embarrassed. This time, British government bureaucrats are so embarrassed that they’ve gone on the “diaper defensive“: A government report that found old-fashioned reusable nappies damage the environment more than disposables has been hushed up because ministers are…

  • The unexplained rise and the mysterious fall of mammoth waves

    According to Frank Rich, there are only three ways McCain can win, and two of them involve race: The election isn’t over, but there remain only three discernible, if highly unlikely, paths to a McCain victory. A theoretically mammoth wave of racism, incessantly anticipated by the press, could materialize in voting booths on Nov. 4.…

  • “In what kind of nation do the media investigate critics more than candidates?”

    “He didn’t ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. He wasn’t recruited or prompted by our campaign. He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks.” So said John McCain, and I couldn’t agree more. I’ve lost…

  • All work and no play makes Coco a dull girl!

    It’s hard work being my muse, but Coco tries. Here she is perusing the newspaper in search of interesting tidbits for me to blog about. But eventually, Coco tires of this, and she can become awfully annoyed at the endless (to her, very boring) tappy-tappy game I seem to be playing with the keyboard. When…

  • Restoring the vanished?

    There are few things more irritating in blogging than having to reconstruct a vanished post. Fortunately, it doesn’t happen too often, and usually, it’s a result of carelessness or a software glitch. This time, it was because the cord to the power strip that feeds my computer was coming loose from the wall receptacle, and…

  • The pros and cons of local attractions

    There are a lot of things I have not yet done in the area. I still haven’t been to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, nor have I been to the Detroit Institute of Arts, which is now featuring “Monet to Dali.” There’s a ton of stuff in Ann Arbor I have not explored; for…

  • Bill Ayers Is Personna Non Grata

    The renowned educationalist Bill Ayers will not be speaking at the University of Nebraska. The Omaha World Herald had this to say: Just 11 days after next month’s election, the University of Illinois-Chicago professor, William Ayers, is scheduled to speak at a student research conference held by the UNL College of Education and Human Science.…

  • The terrorist and the “plumber”

    In the ongoing campaign to minimize Bill Ayers (discussed previously in this post and others), the latest meme is an attempted moral equivalency comparison between Obama’s friend Bill Ayers the terrorist, and McCain’s friend G. Gordon Liddy the Watergate burglar. While others have made this comparison before, it’s getting attention now because David Letterman brought…

  • The Scarlet Letter, from A to P

    This story about the 7th grade girl being called a “racist” for wearing a Sarah Palin t-shirt is so predictable that initially I thought it hardly merited a blog post: VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) — She’s only 12 years old but Ashleigh Jones is feeling the heat of this election year. That’s…

  • So Weak They Have To Cheat

    I have been thinking some about what all this voter fraud business means in the larger scheme of things. It means that the left is on the wane in a very serious way. They can’t win without cheating. Cross Posted at Power and Control

  • Mainstreaming the despicable

    As I have been saying, there’s a bigger problem than Bill Ayers’ unrepentant terrorism and his present day radicalism, and that is his mainstream respectability. For. The. Umpteenth. Time. Bill Ayers should not be respectable or mainstream. For some reason, that issue is seen as irrelevant or nonexistent, and the Ayers issue is spun alternately…

  • A corporate firewall of incompetence

    Have you ever wondered why big giant corporations and utilities have so many brainless morons working in things like “customer service” and “billing”? I think I’ve figured it out. Since my move from Pennsylvania to Michigan, I have spent untold hours on hold trying to have my utilities and services at the old address disconnected.…

  • A Pawn

    The Republican Party is a pawn of Joe the Plumber

  • All the fictional news that readers want to believe!

    When I wrote an earlier post about the phony “race card” McCain is alleged to have “played” because unknown voices screamed things, I was assuming that the “Kill him!” allegation was at least factually correct. Surely (so I thought) no reporter would make up such a story. Wrong! It was either made up, or a…

  • Friend of the working class?

    America’s great friend of the working man Joe Biden has attacked Joe the Plumber for — guess what? — making too much money! To anyone who understands the way Biden’s sleazy little mind works, this should surprise no one. Yes, I think it is “sleazy” and “little” (with all respect to short people *) to…

  • Careful what you ask for….

    We are all against child pornography, right? Society deems people who send or receive [or possess] kiddie porn to be so evil and beneath contempt that we have laws punishing them with long prison terms, regardless of circumstances. The statutory scheme imposes (here in Michigan and in many other places) strict criminal liability for possession…
