Following the sudden death of conservative rabble-rouser Andrew Breitbart, bloggers began a Be Breitbart and I Am Breitbart campaign. But muck-raking sounds like a lot of hard work and not much fun. If I am going to be anyone, it is Jim Treacher. Sure. He has a lot of fun making fun of our 44th president. He was the one who pointed out, hey, Barry ate dog. Which is more important, slopping Solyndra or eating a dog 40 years ago? Solyndra, of course. But which is more fun to write about? I get angry when I think of Solyndra. When...

The 85th Congress and President Eisenhower set up the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to explore space. Government bureaucrat James Hansen has used his position and NASA’s reputation to advance an unscientific agenda that calls for government restrictions on all major industries and any other human activity in the bane of controlling carbon dioxide production. This junk science has made him a millionaire through income outside the government. He is a rogue government agent who no one seems able to supervise. Now 50 top former and current astronauts and NASA scientists and engineers have had enough. They want this crackpot...

Al Gore is wrong. James Hansen is wrong. Michael Mann is wrong. Phil Jones is wrong. Andrew Revkin is wrong. All those smarmy, self-righteous, sanctimonious and insufferable jerks who use pseudo-science to push their stealth socialism to save the planet are dead wrong. Global warming is not killing off polar bears. “The debate about climate change and its impact on polar bears has intensified with the release of a survey that shows the bear population in a key part of northern Canada is far larger than many scientists thought, and might be growing,” the Globe and Mail in Toronto reported....

The press is circulating Republican-insiders stories again, this time saying Mr. Electable is unelectable. Don’t buy the latest spin from Democrats. Conservatives should stay calm, cool and collected. Mitt Romney is the most presidential of Republican nominees since 1988. He looks the part, he acts the part and lives the part. He has worked his way up and made it on his own even though his father was a prominent businessman and successful governor. He is the grown-up in the room whose blandness is a strikingly attractive alternative to the All Trauma Obama presidency. Over the years he has taken...

Unless you had the number 2, 4, 23, 38, 46 and Mega Ball 23 last night, you did not win the $640 million Mega Millions jackpot. Look at the bright side: You avoided paying Barack Obama $115 million in federal income taxes — and if you live in West Virginia, paying Earl Ray Tomblin $30 million in state income taxes. This is based on CBS Math with a little Surber Math used to calculate the West Virginia personal income tax. From CBS News: “The jackpot, if taken as a $462 million lump sum and after federal tax withholding, works out...

Inspired by how moderators at Lucianne and Free Republic handle comments, I refuse to let just anyone comment. Liberals who are nice are OK. Especially if they are from West Virginia or Cleveland. But then at that point they are not really trolls, just readers who disagree with me. As for actual trolls, I do not blog to be berated. As readers know, I have told a few people who are unhappy with my writing that there are a million other blogs. Go read them. Free speech means I support your right to speak on your soapbox. This is “mine.”...

Conventional wisdom hold that black support of Barack Obama is due solely to the color of his skin. I question that. To be sure, he received 95% of the black vote, but 4 years earlier, John Kerry received 89% of the black vote. That 6% difference is magnified by a noticeable increase in the black vote. But President Obama also received a slightly higher percentage of the white vote. Maybe black people overall have a different view of government from white people do. Maybe black people believe in the central government more because of their experience in the South in...

President Obama’s unconstitutional edict that the Catholic church must ignore its teachings and provide free birth control to its employees was designed to divide and conquer the nation. Unable to run for re-election on his pathetic record of spending $5 trillion more than we have, of the worst unemployment in 30 years and the loss of not one but now two wars, President Obama must divert attention from his sorry presidency. He embraced Rush Limbaugh’s calling a 30-year-old anti-Catholic campaigner a “slut.” Bristol Palin who has been called worse called Obama on it. From President Obama: “You know, I’m not...

The left’s slutwalk with Rush Limbaugh backfired badly. I know this because both Peggy Noonan and Kathleen Parker have posted columns along the line of, well, now that you mention it, Bill Maher did say things that are worse. Timing is everything in politics and comedy and it is very poor timing to accept $1 million from a millionaire potty mouth named Bill Maher who uses slurs you cannot print in the newspaper just before you rip into Rush Limbaugh for calling a woman a slut. But the problem is not Bill Maher. The problem is liberals are misogynists who...

Slowly but surely the truth is coming out about Obamacare: Conservatives were right. Conservatives said Obamacare would cost trillions. Our intellectual and moral superiors on the left sneered. The CBO reported this week that Obamacare will cost nearly $1.8 trillion in the first 10 years alone — nearly double what Democrats said it would cost. And instead of reducing the deficit, Obamacare will increase the deficit. Conservatives said Obamacare would cost people their health insurance. Our intellectual and moral superiors on the left sneered. The CBO reported this week that Obamacare already has cost 4 million people their health insurance....

Our moral and intellectual superiors who bitterly cling to their religion of global warming caused only by man have come up with a new plan to make the world a better place with fewer people. Make the people smaller. Ta-da. From Ross Andersen: The threat of global climate change has prompted us to redesign many of our technologies to be more energy-efficient. From lightweight hybrid cars to long-lasting LED’s, engineers have made well-known products smaller and less wasteful. But tinkering with our tools will only get us so far, because however smart our technologies become, the human body has its...

President Obama is twisting Democratic arms to stop the Keystone pipeline, which when built will end billionaire Warren Buffett’s railroad monopoly on shipping oil from the Bakken Oil Field in North Dakota. The billionaire investor is the second richest man in the nation and an ardent supporter of this regime. So obvious is President Obama’s opposition to allowing the pipeline to be built on his watch, that even CNN noticed. From CNN: A razor close vote is expected in the Senate Thursday on a Republican amendment to bypass the Obama administration’s objections and approve the Keystone XL pipeline, Senate aides...

One of the Kennedy twits — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — tweeted something he should not have at 5:27 PM on Tuesday. From RFK Jr: Speaking of prostitutes, big oil’s top call girl Sen Inhofe wants to kill fuel economy backed by automakers, small biz, enviros, & consumers From Steven Branum: If anyone knows what a hooker looks like, it would be a member of the degenerate Kennedy clan. From Keith: You men like Ted killed Mary Jo? From Robinswrong: Inhofe aloud bitch slap your liberal pansie ass From Christine, Creator especially after the Fluke incident this wknd – it’s...

I hemmed and hawed over this error in the Charleston Gazette’s editorial on Monday, because we all make mistakes. Besides, I am not the Gazette editorial reviewer. I write editorials for the Charleston Daily Mail, which obviously shows I have a prejudice. Still the mistake in the editorial bothered me. Maybe if the editorial board of the Charleston Gazette were not so vicious, mean-spirited and perhaps even anti-Catholic in its editorial against Rick Santorum, I might have overlooked it. Here is the error: "When Santorum’s wife miscarried, he and she brought the dead fetus home “to cuddle and sing to...

A year ago, President Obama’s re-election team bragged about raising One Beel-yun Dollars, in an effort to cow Republicans. Several prospective candidates begged off including Haley Barbour and Mitch Daniels. But now, the Obama campaign has taken back its claim (we never said that, they say with Baghdad Bob inflection) and the campaign is even cutting off Democrats. Incredibly, an incumbent White House team is now struggling to raise money despite its intense ability — and willingness — to use the power of the federal government to attack those who do not play along. Corporate executives no longer line up...

The big news this week on Capitol Hill was that Democrats are confident of taking back the House. Congressman Steve Israel, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said: “We’ve gone from a gale force wind against us to a sustained breeze at our backs.” Hmm. That was the Financial Times report. The Hill report was less windy as it quoted Congressman Israel as saying: “We’re not there yet, we’ve got some work to do. But … we have gone from a gale-force wind against us last year to a sustained breeze at our back. I’ve never said we...

The ink is barely dry on President Obama’s Commandment that the Catholic church and everyone else provide free birth control to all employees, and already Washington state is headed for the real goal of liberals — free abortions for everyone! Nearly 40 years after the Supreme Court ruled that abortion on demand is a constitutionally protected right (voiding the right to life declared in the Declaration of Independence) the government is working on making abortion free in the name of women’s health. The proposal in Washington state would allow an opt-out for the Catholic church but it is unclear just...

Sandra Fluke is a law student at Georgetown University, a Catholic institution. She fancies herself as an expert on birth control. She wants free birth control. Now. When House Republicans would not let her testify as an expert on birth control, Democrats paraded her out and she received unabashedly favorable publicity. The Washington press loves these liberal dog-and-pony shows. From ABC: Fluke’s prepared testimony included details of fellow female students at Georgetown University who’d been denied contraceptive coverage because of the university’s Catholic affiliation. Fluke said that one of her friends experienced complications stemming from ovarian cysts that could have...

Barack Obama is a nice guy who has degrees from prestigious institutions. He speaks well and writes well, but he is nonetheless an idiot because he sees things only through the lens of himself. Where others hold a window into the world, he holds a mirror. His supporters say he plays three-dimensional chess. He cannot even play checkers. Consider his apology to Afghanistan for the accidental burning of a few Korans. Instead of calming thing down, his apology was used by the enemy to rationalize a new wave of violence in Kabul. President Obama thinks that is all A-OK. From...

It’s crunch time. I am not going to sugarcoat the news for conservatives. Hate me all you want, but Republicans have just about picked their nominee. Forget these headlines such as Paul Belaga’s “Romney Wins Michigan and Arizona, but Political Tourette’s Is Costing Him” or CNN‘s “Romney survives Michigan as all eyes turn to Super Tuesday” or the New York Daily News‘s “Mitt Romney avoids Michigan disaster, but has ‘blood on him’ heading into Super Tuesday: experts.” God does not roll dice with the universe, and neither does the Republican Party. I am looking at the plurality wins in Arizona...
