No matter what they say, I don’t think it’s possible to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.  The New York Times does, though. 

The former “paper of record,” “the Old Gray Lady,” currently on life support with a DNR notice above its sick bed, does not literally believe in the possibility of the conversion of a dirty pig’s ear into a pricey handbag but it does seem to think it can convert Sen. Harry Reid into a winner.

   The Times made a final desperate shot last Friday toward that end in its front page article, “In Nevada, … Read the rest

   Barack Hussein Obama is by far the most gay-friendly president in America’s history.

PoliticsDaily.com, a liberal website, reports that,”President Barack Obama has already named more gay men and lesbians to administration positions than any White House. . . Obama has appointed 150 gays to high-level slots at agencies, commissions, and White House staff positions compared to 140 named by President Clinton during the entire eight years of his presidency:” http://tiny.cc/9vwsg

That’s a prodigious number considering that Obama has only been in office for 21 months and considering that homosexuals comprise a mere 2% of America’s population. 

It would seem that … Read the rest

Rick Crawford, Steven Palazzo, Steve Pearce, Tim Scott, Robin Smith, Tim Casey, Sharron Angle, Marco Rubio, John Raese.  What do all those folks have in common? 

Well for one thing, they’re all conservative Republican candidates who will be on ballots on November 2nd for either the U.S. House of Representatives or for the United States Senate.  For another, they’re among those who have committed themselves to fight for repeal or radical change of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, (PPACA), less than affectionately known as Obamacare, after they’re elected.

    They’re also some of the people endorsed by … Read the rest

My father was an immigrant.  From Ireland.  Long after the potato famine when the Irish were forced to emigrate or starve to death, as England was exporting food from its captive nation to feed Britons, my Da came to these United States during the Great Depression. 

That depression in Ireland made America’s depression seem like a jolly few years. 

Da was a proud Irishman who longed for his native land when he arrived in New York in 1935 but he quickly adapted to his new country, became a Democrat, of course, and once went to court for his right to … Read the rest

   The National Organization for Women, NOW, aka, the National Organization for Liberal, Leftist, Lesbian Women, NOLLLW, has broken with its long-standing tradition and policy of ignoring slime hurled at Republican and, especially, conservative, females. 

It was okay for an aide to Democrat gubernatorial re-tread candidate Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown to call Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman a “whore,” okay in that the feminists at NOW uttered nary an official word about the use of the W-word. 

The unidentified Brown associate was accidentally overheard on a voicemail speaking to Governor Moonbeam and suggesting, “What about saying she’s [Whitman's] a whore?”  Brown responded, … Read the rest

   Democrat Congressman Barney Frank’s website gives this quickie introduction: “Barney Frank has been in Congress since 1981. He is the Chairman of the Financial Services Committee.  Previously he was a Massachusetts State Representative and an assistant to the Mayor of Boston.  He has also taught at several Boston area universities.”  

Would that that were all that could be said about the representative of Massachusetts’ 4th c.d. 

The second member of the United States House of Representatives to openly declare his homosexuality, in 1987, according to Wikipedia, Barney shares his Newton, MA. duplex with his current “partner,” Jim Ready of … Read the rest

If nothing else, Democrats are consistent.

Their consisistency in this case can be traced back at least to 1964.  Prior to that, Dwight Eisenhower was treated somewhat benignly and was merely called a dolt.  By ’64, Democrats had moved on to their current demonization tactic and Barry Goldwater was labeled an extremist who planned to blow up the planet.  Ditto with Ronald Reagan.  With slight variations, ditto Sarah Palin, ditto Christine O’Donnell and  ditto Sharon Elaine Angle.

      Now, in the stretch drive to November 2nd and with Angle running at 50% to Harry Reid’s 46% according to the latest Rasmussen … Read the rest

   Easily the most renouned political flipflopper in the last few decades was the Democrat nominee for president in 2004, Senator John Kerry, who will go down in history as the man who wanted it both ways on the Iraq War and ended up losing that election in part because he tried to flimflam the electorate.

His classic line is usually quoted as, “I voted for the war before I voted against it” but his flip-flopping went far beyond that equivocation. 

He voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq in October, 2002, supported President G.W. Bush in May, 2003 … Read the rest

It should be no secret, except perhaps in Europe, that the worldwide Islamic movement currently in progress isn’t a one-trick pony. 

   That is, Muslims didn’t start this global fire, this global war that’s been going on for decades as a lark, on a whim and that they will inevitably go back to being good, little Muslims, tending their camels, pumping their oil, etc. 

These people are serious, deadly serious, and the recent terror alerts in Europe and travel alerts concerning travel to that continent were real and substantive. 

They are as real and substantive as the plot and arrest this … Read the rest

   The puppet and Muppet worlds are all atwitter over the latest “evidence” that Bert, one-half of the inseparable Bert and Ernie duo on “Sesame Street,” had finally found his way out of the closet. 

Suspicions and rumors have circulated for years that Bert is, let’s just say a little light in the loafers, as in gay, and some Muppet-watchers were quick to pounce on a single word, actually a word contraction tweeted by Bert on Twitter as proof.  

Way back on June 11, 2010, ”the famous puppet tweeted about the recent ‘A-Team’ remake by comparing himself to A-Team star Mr-T, … Read the rest
