They’re all rich, well-connected politicians with heart trouble, and they all chose to have their bum tickers fixed in the United States. For Clinton and Cheney this is hardly surprising.
But Williams is the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and got a lot of unflattering coverage because he chose our system over the Canadian system. Yesterday he explained:
This is my heart. It’s […]

LEFTY REACTION TO PALIN’S SPEECH: A NEW OUTBREAK OF SARAHPHOBIA
Last night, I posted the video of Palin’s complete speech to the Nashville Tea Party convention. It had plenty of red meat, of course, but it was a generally good-natured exercise in loyal opposition.
But you could never tell that from the response of our “progressive” friends. Immediately following her address to the convention, these nasty little […]
BRUTAL LEFTY VIDEO MOCKING OBAMA’S HEALTH REFORM PERFORMANCE
This is all the more devastating because it comes from the Left. Our progressive friends are very much disillusioned by “the One.” They are willing to accept lies, politial skulduggery, and even attacks on free expression. They are not, however, willing to accept failure.
UNINTENTIONAL IRONY AND THE PROGESSIVE
Perusing the increasingly incoherent effusions of the Left, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that a facility for unintentional irony is the defining characteristic of the contemporary progressive.
One of Sullivan’s readers is kind enough to provide a textbook example of this phenomenon. He starts off with a refreshingly accurate assessment of the Massachusetts political environment:
Here in Massachusetts, […]
LEFTY POLL ANALYST DEFENDS RASMUSSEN
Well, it looks like Scott Rasmussen, the veteran independent pollster, has been selected by the Democrats and their shills in the media/blogosphere for the latest two minutes hate:
Democrats are turning their fire on Scott Rasmussen, the prolific independent pollster whose surveys on elections, President Obama’s popularity and a host of other issues are surfacing in the media with increasing frequency.
The […]
PALIN PULVERIZES AAHHNOLD ON WARMISM
Yesterday, Arnold Schwarzenegger shot off his mouth about Sarah Palin’s position on climategate and warmism. She quickly shot back and hit him right where it hurts:
Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment?
That had to hurt, but she wasn’t […]
WHEN SMART ECONOMISTS SAY STUPID THINGS
David Henderson points out an exceptionally foolish assertion from “The Economic Case for Health Reform,” produced by Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers. Here’s the CEA money quote:
In medicine, however, technological progress in recent decades has been almost exclusively cost-increasing, without generating a commensurate increase in value.
Henderson is scrupulously polite in his response to this BS, calling […]
PRIUS PROGRESSIVISM
Sullivan advises his readers that 1 in 3 Prius-owning households also owns an SUV. This, I think, provides a perfect metaphor for contemporary progressivism.
These people obviously don’t give a rat’s ass about what might be termed “the ethics of carbon gluttony.” They buy a Prius for one reason: to propitiate progressive piety.
This, by the way, is why many of these same people voted for […]
SIGN OF THE TIMES
Well, the president’s supporters in the blogosphere and the media have decided that the 9-12 demonstrations amounted to little more than a giant KKK rally. As the following suggests, we hardly needed Nostradamus on hand to predict this:
It’s pretty obvious that these people are planning to deploy the race card in every policy debate from now until 2012. Being utterly […]
PALIN IS RIGHT ABOUT DEATH PANELS
You can always tell when a high-profile conservative has made a logically irrefutable statement about health care reform—-the nutroots go even crazier than usual (no mean feat).
That’s what happened when former Alaska governor Sarah Palin had the temerity to point out the blindingly obvious truth about what she accurately described as “death panels”:
The Democrats promise […]
