If you're like me, Audi's Green Police ad during yesterday's Superbowl was sort of a high point of creepiness -- and not just for its boomerific revival of a classic Cheap Trick song. No, the celebration of the right car purchase -- a "clean diesel" -- as a get-out-of jail-free card for a totalitarian eco-state sort of ruined car shopping for you while also hinting a bit too strongly at the direction in which the world is inching in its intolerant, lemming-like way. Our friends in Britain already have to worry about government snoops pawing through their garbage and forcing...

TOKYO – A body was found inside a wheel well of a Delta Air Lines plane after it landed in Tokyo from New York, and Japanese authorities Monday were trying to identify the man. The body of the apparent stowaway was clad only in a long-sleeved, plaid shirt and jeans, police at Narita International Airport said. A mechanic found the body lying inside the landing gear compartment of the Boeing 777-200 during maintenance after Delta Flight 59 landed Sunday night, police official Zenjiro Watanabe said. "All we know is that he must have sneaked in just before departure, because it...

BOSTON – Scott Brown says he has already told Senate Republican leaders they won't always be able to count on his vote. The man who staged an upset in last week's Massachusetts Senate special election, in part by pledging to be the 41st GOP vote against President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday that he staked his claim in early conversations with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Whip Jon Kyl. "I already told them, you know, `I got here with the help of a close group of friends and very little...

Presidential nominee in 2008 faces GOP primary fight. BY JOSEPH WEBER Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Republican, said in an interview Monday that his planned primary challenge to Sen. John McCain will portray the four-term incumbent as a not-so-conservative Republican who has "enabled" President Obama and his failed economic and security policies. "I'm giving Arizona Republicans a clear choice between a consistent, common-sense conservative . . . or someone who describes himself as a maverick but is a moderate," the outspoken Mr. Hayworth told The Washington Times' "America's Morning News" radio show. Mr. Hayworth, 51, quit his job Friday as...

Folks, it's just as simple as this: 1) McCain is anti-free speech. The Roberts Court has declared McCain-Feingold, the ultimate self-serving pro-incumbency act, unconstitutional as we all knew it was from the start. 2) McCain supported and voted for the bailouts which are unconstitutional, anti-liberty, anti-capitalism, anti-free-markets, un-American and not only enabled, but swept the Marxist B. Hussin Obama into power. 3) McCain is pro-global warming which is unconstitutional, anti-capitalism, anti-free-economy, un-American and idiotic! 4) McCain is pro-amnesty for illigal aliens which is anti-capitalism, anti-liberty, un-American and idiotic! 5) Instead of fighting FOR us, FOR the Constitution and FOR Liberty,...

Here is video of Sen. John McCain talking with Sean Hannity last night about the significance of Scott Brown's victory in the Massachusetts Senate Race. The video begins with a montage of clips on Scott Brown's victory, and then includes McCain sharing his views with Hannity (McCain begins talking at the 2:50 mark). McCain said Brown's win is a "seismic event the likes of which I have never seen." McCain said it is the "shot heard round the country - if not around the world" which says "we are for change, but not the kind of change that we have...

Some ongoing threads from the bottom of the DUmpster: " Rejoice, f***wits, we're officially "underground" again." " People voted for Brown because the Democrats are not properly left wing" " The worst thing to happen to the Democrats was the 60-vote majority." " Who really won today?. Glenn Beck did. FAUX News did. Sarah Palin did." " Calm the FU&k Down!!!!" " HINT: The Solution For Democrats Is NOT TO BECOME MORE CONSERVATIVE (R U Listening?)" " Calling people "teabaggers" and making fun of pickup drivers didn't work out too well for us" " On the bright side, I guess...

Thus confronting the Democrats about their obstructionism while he’s still got media following him around. Excellent. Insurgent Massachussetts Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown told CNN he expects to be installed quickly as Massachusetts’ next senator should he win the state’s special election Tuesday. Asked about the state of the race, Brown said he’s still campaigning as if he’s running “down 30 points.” But sounding confident, the GOP state senator says he’s made plans to travel to Washington Friday if he’s victorious. This is one of two reasons why the margin of victory will matter. The first, obviously, is that the...

Cass Sunstein wants the government to "cognitively infiltrate" anti-government groups Cass Sunstein has long been one of Barack Obama's closest confidants.  Often mentioned as a likely Obama nominee to the Supreme Court, Sunstein is currently Obama's head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs where, among other things, he is responsible for "overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs."  In 2008, while at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-"independent" advocates to "cognitively infiltrate" online groups and websites -- as well as other activist groups --...

Dear Sir or Madam, I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable my colleagues and I carry out an urgent business opportunity in my department. Recently while traveling to the United States, I experienced a terrible accident. While on a flight, Northwest 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit, and on final approach my testicles suddenly burst into flames for no reason. The passengers, some of whom I suspect may have been CIA operatives or Jews, attacked me for no reason, while my testicles burned and were hurting. I was arrested by the American FBI and taken first to...
