Right Wing Nation

Just an observation here, now, and then I’ll move on — also, I raise no point about the commentators’ support from this. But have you noticed that it’s hip to support the Troops? The Fox guys are in Afghanistan today. They’ve been running tributes all day — and that’s great, really. I just question the […]

“President Obama’s promise to empty the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay has run into a little obstacle: It turns out the place is full of terrorists! Like everything else, this is not Obama’s fault. The terrorists are there because George W. Bush put them there, leaving poor Obama once again stuck cleaning up someone else’s […]

Not to steal Uncle’s line, but Obama is obviously compensating for his small penis.
Related, and also from Uncle, is this unsurprising but interesting poll.

Depends on what the meaning of ‘tax’ is

With 2 million participants, yesterday’s protest is the largest event ever held in the capitol.

Write up and more pictures here.

Nielsen ratings: So You Think You Can Dance tops So You Think You Can Lie

Let’s review some of the massively destructive, utterly unconstitutional, and wholly unacceptable parts of the so-called “healthcare” bill.

The “public option”
Forcing insurers to accept any applicant.
Mandatory insurance.
Tax-funded payments for those “unable” to pay.
Employer mandates.

So Obama gets up and does his little show last night, and with all of these things, Joe Wilson objects to Obama lying […]

Lifted from Gateway Pundit. Charles Krauthammer nails it:

It’s a reflection of the boss. The boss also had a history before he became a candidate of being around and friends with the likes of Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers. The liberals scolded us last year on how irrelevant all that is and how it’s a smear […]

The shitbag commie resigned. For roundups, see Ed Driscoll, Bernard Goldberg, Jules Crittenden, and Donald Douglas (here, here and here). But the best recap and explanation of this train wreck is at the Sundries Shack.
His resignation letter is a masterpiece of petulance and dishonesty, anchored by this sentence:
On the eve of historic fights for health […]

Vodkapundit:
Yes, the speech itself will almost certainly be harmless. I don’t expect anyone’s kids to be coming home and berating their parents for being against this program or that agenda. I do expect Allah has it quite right, that this speech will be just another Daddy Speech, meant to encourage my son to work hard […]

Yes, we cannibal!

Shocker! CNN admits that Obama lied.

Those alien abduction statistics were taken from “Experiential America: A Bipartisan Study,”; by Dr. Lucinda Porpoise Wellsley-Meyer and Dr. Robert Griffin. The paper itself is fascinating. Being co-written by a moonbat and a sane human being lends the paper a schizophrenic quality, and it ultimately had to be separated into sections because the two researchers […]

Definitely the quotation du jour:
Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll. At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years.
Hat tip: Insty

Look, I’ve got to get back into faculty mode. Anyway, today’s “well duh!” article. Yes, we’re back, and yes, there are pictures, but no, I haven’t yet uploaded any.

Union thugs: Beat a nigra black man for Obama!

First, a quiz. Which American car company did not take a government handout?
Surely, you know, right?
Ford.
And which American car company posted a quarterly profit of over 2 billion?
In recent months, the carmaker has claimed market share from its American rivals, General Motors and Chrysler, while those companies struggled to restructure their operations in bankruptcy court.
Ford […]

The Blogfather: If healthcare is a “right,” why does it depend on what the government says you can have?

Uncle Jimbo published the template for every Obama speech given overseas.
Greetings great and mighty culture, I am the Obama leader of New America. I am a cultured, urbane, black man with a Muslim name and I carry no baggage.
Your culture is great and wonderful, your poets brilliant, I will now quote one I have never […]

“To the right of Atilla the Hun.” Har!

First, there was that bailout. Then after taking the bailout money and becoming Yugo, they declared bankruptcy. And now, the official list of plant closings? So where did those billions of dollars go?
Democrats. Experts at stealing, then burning other peoples’ money.

from a Canuck, no less (and no doubt this will be just a blip in a run of Stanley Cup content).
The cognitive behavior of Western intellectuals faced with the accomplishments of their own society, on the one hand, and with the socialist ideal and then the socialist reality, on the other, takes one’s breath away. […]

And the photo I was unable to find earlier.

From Taking One for the Team.

First, Obama goes to Germany and apologizes for “allied war crimes” because sticking his tongue up the nearest anus is what he does best, then some nutjob shoots up the Holocaust Museum. Then, his mentor, “Rev.” Wright (remember him?) complains that “them Jews” won’t let him in to see Obama.
Conkidink?
I think not.

The stupidest President in American history, part 15. But he did have his tongue way, way, way up there, and that was the point.

President Pantywaist’s first foreign policy victory: North Korea conducts a nuclear test and launches a short-range missle!
Smart diplomacy! It’s new! It’s improved! Now with more nuance!

Or not.
CBO: Whoops, We Need to Revise Our Deficit Projections Up by a Tad*
* A “Tad” is an Accounting Term Meaning 50%
Then, if liberals could do basic arithmetic, they wouldn’t be liberals, would they?

I agree with Don. This is definitely the headline of the day, er, second headline of the day (or since Drew’s headline was actually from yesterday, when I was on the couch groaning all day, you could count that as yesterday’s headline of the day posted today). “For the kind of huge proposals Obama is […]

Our President is beclowning himself — again.
In his first few months, President Barack Obama has proven an ardent booster of the U.S. auto industry’s future — but he keeps screwing up its history.
Last month, Obama mistakenly called the automobile an American invention, surprising the Germans who claim that mantle. And in a speech in […]

Tim Geithner…Dumber Than A Box Of Rocks (With All Due Apologies To Boxes And Rocks)

This is what I’d call a big oops.
Chris Dodd admitted he misled CNN, telling them on Tuesday he had nothing to do with the loophole that mysteriously found its way into legislation and paved the way for AIG’s bonuses to be paid. The following day, Dodd confessed to CNN’s Dana Bash that he in […]

You know, about being a laughingstock? Well, remember those DVDs Our brilliant, academic, pencil-necked President gave Gordon Brown, you know, after essentially telling him to go straight to the devil? You know, after he sent the bust of Churchill back to Britain (no doubt because he’d much rather have a bust of Chamberlain)?
Guess what?
[…]

Obama’s teleprompter is blogging! (H/T Sebastian).

Maggie’s Farm:
There’s a monotonous feel to the interaction between the stock market and government these days. A government hack says something dumb, and the market tumbles. The only adult left in the room, Ben Bernanke, will appear in some forum and talk a little sense. First the market stabilizes, and then jumps. Lather, rinse, repeat. […]

It pretty much sums up the Obama Administration so far: Obama appointee takes leave after raid.

in addition to gun and ammo sales, suddenly, Atlas Shrugged sales are booming. i wonder why that is?
h/t dr helen

with that boom, that is, and in order to do so, Sebastian reports that Glock is producing 4,000 handguns a day, and importing more from Austria.

Via Uncle:
Despite an ever-worsening economy and slumping retail sales, firearm sales increased in February, continuing an upswing that began after November’s election.
Data from the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) show background checks on the sale of firearms jumped 23.3 percent in February when compared to February 2008. The increase follows a 28 […]
