It’s not easy being a conservative today.  In fact, it never has been easy since conservative values are more confining than liberal freedoms to do and act as you damn well please regardless of the consequences to society, family, and self.

Still, there are undeniable benefits to conservatism, not the least of which is watching, listening to, and reading the antics of the left which often approach the level of Theater of the Absurd. 

Another conservative plus, which requires a sense of humor, is that we get to laugh at what liberals do and say and how they act.

DrudgeReport.com today features a brief piece on Obama’s “evil eye” replete with five very interesting photos of President Obama meeting with foreign leaders: http://drudgereport.com/flashoe.htm. 

Titled, “Beware the Obama ‘Evil Eye’,” Drudge says people have noticed the president’s “new look” and goes on to say, “Staffers have joked about the menacing glance, which comes when the president meets with world leaders who are not aligned with his progressive view.”

Italians refer to the look as “malocchio,” or “mal occhio,” Spaniards refer to it as “mal ojo,” Hawaiians as “maka pilau” or “stink eye.”  Call it what you will, the … Read the rest

We all know that the mass media and government today, especially today with government’s new role as nanny to the nation, spoon feed to the public what they think we can handle, what they want us to know, and hide what they want hidden.

However, thanks to a long-awaited technological breakthrough by Professor Klem Kadiddlehopper   at the University of Hard Knocks, Burbank, we now have heretofore un-explained explanations of all the crap news we’ve been fed lately. 

Incredibly, Burbank’s Professor Emeritus has succeeded in delving into the minds and mental processes of newsmakers and can reveal their true, unexpurgated thoughts.  … Read the rest

The debate goes on: Do 20% of kids sext, or 25%?  As if it matters whether one in five or one in four children engage in the activity which has become a buzzword in the teenage culture.

In fact, it may be one in three or an even greater phenomenon.  Why adults would think teenagers would be upfront and totally honest about what they do with and on their cellphones is an even greater mystery.

Since my kids have long been out in the world as successful grown-ups, I can’t personally relate to the whole issue of adolescent sexting, which … Read the rest

Now that Nancy “Bug-eyed” Pelosi   has succeeded in getting passed the greatest piece of legislation in the whole history of legislation, where do we go from here?

In a word, downhill.  In two words, downhill fast.

Pelosi pulled out all the stops to cajole, intimidate, bribe, and threaten her minions to achieve narrow passage, 219-212, of the “historic” bill that will mean much higher bills for Americans across the board, if not catastrophic and crippling costs in the future. 

But, don’t call the 1200 page “Cap and Trade” legislation a tax.  And, please don’t ask if any of our representatives … Read the rest

(Fifth in a series on New York City’s “Gay Pride Week)

Unfortunately, the weather outside doesn’t look like it will cooperate for New York City’s “Gay Pride Parade” on Sunday, June 28th. 

Scheduled to be off-and-on cloudy and sunshine-y, showers and T-storms may hold off until the post-parade festivities.  I had been hoping for a deluge, an inch or so of drenching rain, preferably accompanied by severe hail and a tornado or cyclone or two.

Hope springs eternal, though.

Even so, based on prior parades, my hoped-for forecast would not put much of a damper on gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, trannies, … Read the rest

What do you do with a girl named Maria?  Compared to the question of what do you do with a prisoner named Phil Spector, the answer is challenging.  In Spector’s case, you give him whatever he wants!

Spector    was finally convicted of second degree murder of a defenseless woman, six years after the fact and almost two years after his first trial ended in a hung jury.  All the while the accused killer was free on a one-million-dollar bail.

Sentenced to 19 years, the 69 year old Spector is serving his time in a private cell at the medium security … Read the rest

Google “Bush lies” and you get less than 3 million links.  Google “Obama lies” and you get some 30 million links.  What does that tell us?  Nothing, and everything, about the nature and veracity of President Barack Hussein Obama.

Thirty million sources for information on the inaccuracies, distortions, misstatements, and outright, bald-faced prevarications could simply reflect the level of prevailing antipathy toward our forty-fourth president.  Three million for Bush could just mean people are bored with George W. 

Or it could mean Barack Obama in his brief public career has lied ten times more than George W. Bush.  I imagine … Read the rest

(Fifth in a series in recognition of New York City’s “Gay Pride Week”)

I’ve never been a member of any minority that I know of but I can now better empathize with the discrimination some minorities claim to suffer.  Any discriminatory action must be painful to endure but when its source is the government of the United States it is not only painful but infuriating. 

A recent article on The American Spectator, “Friends with Benefits,” by George Neumayr reveals the essence of that discrimination in a quotation from the Washington Post, “Barack Obama’s presidential memorandum that decrees in these dark … Read the rest

They say that both good and bad things happen in threes and within 3 days Johnny Carson’s sidekick, Ed McMahon,   Charley’s Angel, Sarah Fawcett,    and a severely disturbed child molestor and moon-walker    have shuffled off this mortal globe.

I know little about McMahon or Fawcett, aside from the fact Ed served his country as a Marine and served Carson as second banana for 30 years and that Farrah bravely battled cancer for years.  To mourning friends and family of both, I extend my sincere consolation.

To the family, friends, and fans of Michael Jackson, I extend a wish that they … Read the rest
