It’s Because They Think You’re Stupid

I’m going to list three unrelated quotes from recent news stories in order to make a broader point.
Michelle Malkin: Nickelodeon is at it again
This story is one of several Linda Ellerbee uses Sunday night in a “Nick News” special to illuminate a troubling consequence of our ongoing response to the complex issue of immigration.
Ellerbee starts [...]

Oklahoma Republican is a Dumbshit, Film at Eleven

Oklahoma Republican State Representative Sally Kern finds herself the subject of some controversy after a Youtube clip surfaced in which she compared the “homosexual agenda” unfavorably with terrorism. I’m well aware that the whole “gay people want to turn our children into showtune-humming queers” line plays really well with a certain portion of the [...]

Bad News, Good News

The bad news, the National Guard bombed your apartment. The good news, it was just practice. My favorite part:
Called a Bomb Dummy Unit 33, the training munition came from an F-16 fighter jet, now under armed guard at the Tulsa Air National Guard Base.
At least we can feel safe knowing that the F-16 [...]

Thomas Sowell Should Be Required Reading

in every high school in America. If you’re not familiar with him, you desperately need to take in as much of his wisdom as you can assimilate. His column from last week, “Non-Judgmental” Nonsense, is an excellent analysis of the hubris of the powerful.
What was he thinking of? That was the first [...]

Bureaucracy for Dummies

Moral retards come in so many forms that they are almost boringly repetitive at this point. Every once in a while, however, one of them manages to screw up a painfully simple situation with distinction. I’m far from a fan of government involvement in issues of morality that don’t have a direct effect [...]

How to Kill an Economy Without Really Trying

Facing possible recession, a falling dollar, rising inflation, and increased petroleum costs, Democrats are proposing a bold new plan for punishing the productive. Actually, it’s the same old plan, only the timing makes it even dumber.
The Senate on Thursday rejected the idea of renewing many of President Bush’s tax cuts as all three major [...]

Glad We Cleared That Up

Dutch parliament bans sex with animals
The Dutch parliament voted unanimously Thursday to outlaw bestiality and pornography involving animals.
Sex with animals and the making of animal pornography now will carry a punishment of up to six months in jail under the measure.
Current Dutch law forbids bestiality only when animals are found to have been mistreated.
I wonder [...]

I Don’t Want to Overstate My Case

but this may be the greatest sentence in the history of the English language:
In my experience, every red-diaper baby socialist patchouli sponge worth his organic tofu dreadlocks acts, talks, and thinks as though he is in a battle against Absolute Evil.
Incidentally, anyone who has watched a few episodes of “The Unit” has probably noticed that [...]

The “No Shit” Headline of the Day

Clinton and Obama disagree on Florida, Michigan revote
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama sharply disagreed on disputed contests in Florida and Michigan on Wednesday, as Florida Democratic officials finished a proposal for a new mail-in presidential primary.
Clinton, who won unsanctioned contests in both states, said the results should be honored or new votes [...]
