    Howie Carr Show ^ | 1/14/16 | Howie Carr
    Scary or funny? You decide. A near-seemless montage of last night's SOTU "response" and typical liberal boilerplate from Teddy K. It could be one of those annoying advocacy commercials where people finish each other's sentences.

    Hi FRiends, I have a prayer request for a second grade girl who went to school with my daughter last year before moving away. She has some kind of meningitis that is threatening her life. It is a frightening situation! Please see the comment for details. Thank you!!!
  • Caption the Photo: Eagles OL Evan Mathis Peeing on IRS Building Sign

    I hope Mathis doesn’t owe any Taxes, because I am sure an audit is coming his way now. He is straight on Instagram flexing, Bleacher Report captured the photo before Chip Kelly makes him take it down and drink a protein shake (no more fast food at the Eagles camp). Mathis is one of those quirky offensive lineman who has been around the block in the NFL, so I can’t say I am surprise. Also the IRS has been in the news for some suspect behavior, so I believe he is trying to send a message. I think it is...
  • How to Make Justin Bieber Sound Incredible: Slow Him Down 800 Percent (I'm stuned by Bieber)

    You totally hate Justin Bieber, right, because you're a rebel, or whatever? That's just because you haven't listened to Bieber slowed down 800 percent. Now his new single "U Smile" is a 30-minute epic. And it sounds awesome. No, really. Courtesy musician Nick Pittsinger, who used the free program Paulstretch, this is "U Smile" made slower. Like, a lot slower—eight times slower, to be exact. And all of a sudden the not-bad piano pop track sounds like the climactic score to some kind of historical epic, or Dead Can Dance, or, like, Animal Collective, or something. It sounds like the...
  • 41-year-old pacifist DJ discovers his real father is legendary serial killer Charles Manson

    New York Daily News ^ | 11/24/09 | Brian Kates
    Who's your daddy? Oh, damn. It's Charles Manson. A 41-year-old man, who was adopted as a 10-year-old and raised in Illinois, spoke out recently about the harrowing discovery. "It was like finding out your father is Hitler," Matthew Roberts told The Sun newspaper. Roberts found out about his long-lost daddy about a dozen years ago after using a search agency to find his birth mother. The birth mother told him that she had been raped and that the 1960s Helter Skelter killer was his father. ------ "I'm a peaceful person - trapped in the face of a monster," Roberts said....
  • Who’s Afraid of Sibel Edmonds?

    The American Conservative ^ | Oct. 1, 2009 | Philip Giraldi
    Sibel Edmonds has a story to tell. She went to work as a Turkish and Farsi translator for the FBI five days after 9/11. Part of her job was to translate and transcribe recordings of conversations between suspected Turkish intelligence agents and their American contacts. She was fired from the FBI in April 2002 after she raised concerns that one of the translators in her section was a member of a Turkish organization that was under investigation for bribing senior government officials and members of Congress, drug trafficking, illegal weapons sales, money laundering, and nuclear proliferation. She appealed her termination,...

    FrontPage Magazine ^ | 3/30/09 | David Horowitz
    I have been watching an interesting phenomenon on the Right, which is beginning to cause me concern. I am referring to the over-the-top hysteria in response to the first months in office of our new president, which distinctly reminds me of the “Bush Is Hitler” crowd on the Left. Speaking of this crowd, have you seen any “I am so sorry” postings from that quarter as Obama continues and even escalates the former president's war policy in Afghanistan and attempts to consolidate his military occupation of Iraq? Conservatives, please. Let's not duplicate the manias of the Left as we figure...

    mises.org ^ | 3/17/09 | Thomas E. Woods, Jr.
    Last weekend, Harvard University sponsored a conference called (I am not making this up) "The Free Market Mindset: History, Psychology, and Consequences." Its purpose was to try to figure out why, since everyone knows the current crisis amounts to a failure of the market economy, the stupid rubes continue to believe in it. The promotional literature for the conference opened with That Quotation from Alan Greenspan — the one in which he suggested that there was, after all, a "flaw" in the free market he hadn't noticed before. Well, that does it, then! If our Soviet commissar in charge of...

    First Principles ^ | 03/02/09 | Thomase E. Woods
    Barack Obama is already making the Clinton and Bush years seem like the good old days. Close to a trillion dollars are being tossed around in a “stimulus” package that no one in his right mind—and I do not here include the mainstream of the economics profession, which has disgraced itself in this crisis—expects to bring about recovery. Economist Robert Wenzel rightly describes the stimulus as “just the insiders raiding the till while there is still money in it.” Trillions of dollars are likewise being thrown at financial institutions that (if we actually believe in the free market) richly deserve...

    Campaign for Liberty ^ | 2/18/2009 | Tom Woods
    So the "stimulus" package, a dagger through the heart of the economy, has passed. The geniuses who govern us, who insist that seizing the produce of the voluntary economy and devoting it to arbitrary projects will make us wealthy, have had their victory. Much of the debate turned, unfortunately, on how much "pork" was in the bill. This or that spending program was silly or an obvious waste of money, critics said. All too true, of course, but unless we're looking to be hired by the Titanic's Department of Deck Chair Rearrangement, we're missing the point with arguments like this....

    Hi Everyone, I received some sad news from my friend Ana today. Her niece in England, who has been battling spinal cancer for a little while, has not been making progress. Here is her email: **** This is my niece Natasha. She has been battling spinal cancer for the last year. She had an operation where they took out what they could but it was so involved in the spinal cord they had to leave a lot. She has been doing chemo for the last year and MRI's to check progress. I heard last week from my Mum and again...
  • MoveOn marches on the White House (and gets FReeped -- Kristinn detailed on NRO)

    National Review Online ^ | 9/09/05 | Byron York
    The crowd kept chanting. "IMPEACH BUSH! IMPEACH BUSH! FIRE BROWN! FIRE BROWN!" But off to the side, another voice was added to the general noise. A man named Kristinn Taylor, an active member of the conservative group FreeRepublic in Washington, stood off to the side with a handmade sign that said, SHAME ON MOVEON — EXPLOITING KATRINA VICTIMS. Some of the protesters moved toward him to begin what might be called a high-minded debate. "YOU'RE AN IDIOT!" a woman yelled at Taylor after Taylor blamed New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin for failing to evacuate the city. Just then, a man...

    Why Are Americans So Fat?” Headlines Tray-liners in German SUBWAY restaurants WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today the National Legal and Policy Center called on the SUBWAY restaurant chain to immediately stop a European advertising campaign designed to exploit anti-American sentiment in countries like Germany.  SUBWAY restaurants in Germany now feature tray-liners and posters promoting the film “Super Size Me.”  They portray an obese Statue of Liberty holding a package of fries and a hamburger and begin with the bold headline “Why Are Americans So Fat?” “SUBWAY has defined a new low in corporate behavior with this campaign,” said Ken Boehm, Chairman of the...
  • Chomping Chomsky: Debunking a Left-wing icon.

    National Review Online ^ | July 19, 2004 | Clara Magram
    Give Noam Chomsky credit for consistency. For nearly half a century, he has unfailingly praised the world's most brutal totalitarian regimes, even as he has slandered democracies. In 1970, Chomsky — a leading opponent of the Vietnam War — visited North Vietnam and wrote admiringly of the "high degree of democratic participation at the village and regional levels." The Hanoi leadership he termed "flexible and intelligent." Later in the 1970s, reports of the Khmer Rouge's bloody atrocities surfaced; the MIT linguistics professor dismissed them as products of "the U.S. propaganda system." Chomsky has become one of the all-stars of the...

    National Review Online ^ | 3/24/04 | John Derbyshire
    Beyond Tolerance? We’ve unnecessarily pulled down and rebuilt a culture. Writing about George W. Bush's decision to come out in favor of the Federal Marriage Amendment, Peggy Noonan had the following thing to say in the February 26 Opinion Journal: It would be good, however, to see the president speak about American open-mindedness and what it means in practice and theory. America is now a country — it was not always — in which people feel free to hold whatever private views on all human groups and behaviors while bowing to the moral necessity to show respect and regard for...

    <p>Protesters at this summer's Democratic National Convention in Boston may be confined to a cozy triangle of land off Haymarket Square, blocked off from the FleetCenter and convention delegates by a maze of Central Artery service roads, MBTA train tracks, and a temporary parking lot holding scores of buses and media trucks.</p>

    <p>NEW YORK (AP) - Under fire from abortion-rights groups, Attorney General John Ashcroft insisted Thursday that doctor-patient privacy is not threatened by a government attempt to subpoena medical records in a lawsuit over the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.</p> <p>At stake are records documenting certain late-term abortions performed by doctors who have joined in a legal challenge of the disputed ban. President Bush signed the act into law last year.</p>
