My father was a WWII vet (his Ike jacket hangs in a closet about 3 feet from where I’m sitting), but he wasn’t a very sentimental guy and wouldn’t care much for a lacrimose Memorial Day tribute.
But he would appreciate the sentiment expressed by Sgt. Ben Lepping—because it’s the kind of thing flesh-and-blood heros do when they aren’t dodging […]

PALIN GETS CHEEKY TRIBUTE FROM MARINE STATIONED IN AFGHANISTAN
CATRON’S PERFECT DAY
I slept late, ignored my laptop, and spent most of the morning in the shade watching this Great Crested Flycatcher build a nest in a knothole (upper right of the photo):
Then I rode my bike, a Giant TCR like the one below (only mine has Ksyrium wheels and Dura-Ace components), for a couple of hours through the […]
THE DEMS LATEST INTERNET POWERGRAB
Their Orwellian “net neutrality” project having been thwarted by the courts, our masters inside the Beltway are now trying to get control of the internet by surreptitiously slipping a provision into their “finance reform” legislation:
The Federal Trade Commission could become a more powerful watchdog for Internet users under a little-known provision in financial overhaul legislation that would […]
VIDEO: A CONSERVATIVE IN HOLLYWOOD
A very interesting interview with writer Andrew Klavan, who is that loneliest of all creatures—a Hollywood conservative. Talk about being a stranger in a strange land. Here’s how he describes it:
There’s a culture in Hollywood where you are a left-winger; you can speak very openly – even in business meetings. If you’re a conservative, especially […]
HOW TO PRONOUNCE “EYJAFJALLAJöKULL”
The eruption of Eyjafjallajökull has the potential to put further strain on the already creaking government-run health care systems of Northern Europe, particularly Great Britain’s crumbling National Health Service. And it has already done significant economic damage.
For now, however, the most pressing question surrounding the eruption of that once-obscure Icelandic volcano is how to pronounce the name of the damned thing. The following […]
NO PALIN PIN INVOLVED BAUTSCH BEATING
There has been a good deal of justifiable anger in the conservative blogosphere concerning the deafening MSM silence about the assault on Louisiana GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal’s campaign fundraising chief, Allee Bautsch.
And there can be little doubt that the “news” media would be buzzing with the story if the victim had been a Democrat aide. The […]
HOWARD STERN: THE DEMS ARE COMMUNISTS
Yep. That’s what he said. He’s apparently been mugged by reality (the reality of the Federal Comunications Commission):
The fact that these democrats at the FCC are communists - they’re for communism. They don’t want to see companies — this is gangsterism:
So … can we expect a different attitude from HHS and the other health care […]
GOP E-VALENTINES NEEDLE THE DEMS
If you like your Valentines to hurt a little, the new GOP e-cards are (unlike Obamacare) just what the doctor ordered. Yes, the RNC has gotten into the online greeting card business. Here’s my favorite:
This is for real. If you want to send one, got to this site and have at it.
REQUIEM FOR OBAMACARE
A great video allegory, using imagery from the Lord of the Rings to celebrate another victory in the long twilight struggle against socialized medicine (let’s call it by its proper name for once). But it WAS just the LATEST battle. The forces of big government WILL be back, and with reinforcements.

AN INTERVIEW WITH TED KENNEDY’S GHOST
Single-payer health care was the “cause of Kennedy’s life” (and you thought it was booze and women), so his ghost’s perspective on recent events is … er … interesting. Crowder from PJTV asks Kennedy’s still-sloshed spectre some questions to which many (excluding the MSM) have wanted answers for a long time. That little matter involving Mary Jo […]
