Can Dylan Ratigan Join The Coffee Party, Please?

by Smitty It’s fairly viral now that Dylan Ratigan is a ass, a jackass, and a king among jackasses. Greg Gutfeld on Red Eye organizes Ratigan in a delightful manner: “I guess it sucks doing Rachel Maddow’s laundry.” Gateway Pundit was on local TV in a clip concerning the Coffee Party. An independent, homeschooling activist […]

What Is The Appropriate Level Of Census Participation?

by Smitty Via Drudge, the AP has an interesting bit on the Patriot Act vs. the Census: In a letter to Congress, the Obama administration provided its legal position that census data cannot be disclosed under the Patriot Act, the nation’s main counterterrorism law.

MSNBC’s Alternative Reality

While working on my taxes (trying to figure my mileage for 2009) I’ve had the TV in my basement office tuned to MSNBC. Unless Rachel Maddow and her cohorts are hallucinating, the most important story in the world is . . .

POTUS Ain’t Naked:
He’s Channeling Rick James

by Smitty Kenneth G. Davenport is all exercised about the WSJ editorial that prints Paul Ryan’s devastating review of the Senate healthcare legislation. Trifecta also covered Ryan here.

Married at 10? Divorced at 12? Hey, Who Wants to Play ‘Guess Which Religion’?

If you guessed “Lutheran,” try again: Nujood is a Yemeni girl . . .  (Doggone, I was going to guess “Belgian.”) . . . and it’s no coincidence that Yemen abounds both in child brides and in terrorists . . .  (Beware of the Utah Liberation Front!)
