When in Doubt, Blame Palin!

#BlamePalin became a sarcastic Twitter hashtag yesterday. Among other things, I blamed her for Auburn’s game-winning field goal against Oregon. Also, my four-day streak without an Instalanche. Liberals have made Palin their all-purpose scapegoat, the demon-figure whose existence relieves them of the burden for coming up with rational explanations of why bad things happen. The evasion of […]

When Did Sarah Palin Say ‘Put Him Against the Wall and Shoot Him’?

 Oh, wait. Excuse me. It wasn’t Sarah Palin who said that: On October 23, The Scranton Times reported that Rep.

Ignoring Public Outcry for ‘Civility,’ Britney Spears Releases New Single

If this crap is boring me senseless, surely it must be boring you. Fortunately, we have celebrities to distract us: […]

‘When You Remove A Cancer, What Do You Replace It With?’

by Smitty That was Thomas Sowell’s answer to Peter Schiff Robinson [oops!], in response to the demand for a follow-on to the Federal Reserve. If you’ve read End The Fed, and you should, you’ll enjoy hearing Prof. Sowell, an academic actually worthy of your respect, state simply that the Federal Reserve simply ain’t packin’ the […]

Knocked Up and Sexy

Yeah, we’re talking about Natalie Portman again. Princess Amidala is now famously pregnant with her own little Luke Skywalker, and People magazine has the latest: Pregnant Natalie Portman kept her hand on her growing baby bump at Wednesday’s People’s Choice Awards in L.A. For her first awards show appearance since announcing her pregnancy and engagement […]

You Stay Classy, Kathy Griffin!

Hollie McKay reports at Fox News: Kathy Griffin announced her New Year’s resolution to continue a verbal assault on the Palin family. Only in 2011, the comedian said she intends to target Sarah Palin’s 16-year-old daughter, Willow. “I’ve already gone for Sarah, Todd and Bristol obviously,” Griffin told The Hollywood Reporter. “But I think it’s […]
