Going to California

Leaving today on a non-stop flight and I’ll be there by supper Pacific time. If you don’t remember my friend Ladd Ehlinger Jr., you’ll remember the World Greatest Campaign Ad he did for Dale Peterson. Ladd’s doing some work in California now — kind of top secret — and wants me to come hang out with him for a […]

The Ron Miller Book Party For ‘Sellout’

by Smitty This is the first of several posts in support of Ron Miller’s book, Sellout. These are the prepared remarks, which reveal the kind of man you want for a neighbor: positive, patriotic, and Godly.

Deep in the Heart of Texas

My old friend Ken Hanner reports for Human Events: AUSTIN, Tex.—Hundreds of people braved temperatures exceeding 100 degrees on Monday to send a message to President Obama: “Keep your hands off Texas.” Hours after Obama visited the city for a Democratic fundraiser and a speech to University of Texas students, speaker after speaker at the […]

‘Happy Ramadan! Please Don’t Hijack Any Planes and Crash Them Into Buildings!’

Stupid Obama-Hating Americans!

When Obama’s poll numbers go down, it shows that you idiots don’t appreciate His Wonderfulness, says Bill Press: “I think this says more about the American people than it does about President Obama. I think it just shows once again that the American people are spoiled.”

In DC News, Truth Is a Firing Offense

Robert Bluey brings us the story of how an ABC affiliate in DC has suspended reporter Doug McKelway for telling the truth: McKelway’s live report [from a protest event in DC] began with a factually correct statement about BP’s donations to President Obama. McKelway accurately noted that Obama received $77,051 from the BP employees . . […]

BLACK WEDNESDAY: Stock Market Disaster of Biblical Proportions!

OK, maybe a tad over-the-top there in the headline. As of 3:30 p.m., the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off about 260 points, but that’s not quite 2.5% of the index value, so it’s too early to expect stockbrokers to start jumping out windows in Lower Manhattan. See if you can’t spot the magic word […]
