Sunday night is a good night for something from one of the greatest trumpet players who ever lived. This is his version of “Birdland”, originally done by Weather Report (written by the...

Zo is right on the money.
I’ve been saying this for a while now. It’s not enough to whack the President’s totalitarian policies, though they are eminently whackable. We conservatives have to start showing people exactly how conservative economic and social policies work in ...

Somewhere, deep in the bowels of CNN Headquarters, Wolf Blitzer’s team of earnest fact-checkers is working overtime.
I’m no fan of Saturday Night Live, but this skit is actually funny (even if they play the joke out one too many times). The real news, if you’re looking for ...

I found a couple articles over the last couple days to help you get adjusted to the new regime should Obamacare actually pass.
First, from Britain, using the system currently admired by Democrats, we find that hospitals are admitting patients who don’t need to be admitted because they ...

A congressional report released Friday includes allegations that D.C. Public Schools Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee mishandled a complaint that Kevin M. Johnson, her current fiance, engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with a student at a California charter school in 2007.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill, we knew what Mary Landrieu was, and now we’ve established her price.
I expect that quite a few Democratic Senators are going to go the Anh “Joseph” Cao route and start revealing how much it’ll take to buy them off. A couple Republicans may ...

If this story gets any traction at all it could become the scientific scandal of the century, if not of all time.
I know that sounds like crazy-eyed hyperbole, so judge it for yourself. The University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit was hacked recently (though there are strong suggestions ...

I’ve been meaning to write a couple posts about Attorney General Eric Holder’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this week, but other oblgiations have imposed themselves on me. However, there are a couple points I want to share.
Before I do that, I want to note ...

Thank goodness for pronouns and that no one names their kids Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla, Gabriela Rafaela Sarsaparilla, and Albert Andreas Armadillo these days.
Though I have to say “The Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla Experience” would be a great name for a band.
This is my favorite of the ...

Don’t Bother Us With Your Primitive Accounting Superstitions. There Are Jobs Being Created or Saved!
There seems to be a lack of alacrity in the Obama administration over the fact that its means of telling us where it spent our trillion dollars’ worth of stimulus money is slightly less rigorous than room full of blind, insane gibbons flinging darts marked “stimulus money” ...

I spent a little bit of time talking about Sarah Palin in the latest episode of The Delivery. I didn’t get quite as much time as I wanted and I didn’t get to say anything about her interview with Rush Limbaugh, which was actually very good. Hey, I only block half an hour for politics ...

Well, you don’t say.
President Obama directly acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay will not close by the January deadline he set, but he said he hoped to still achieve that goal sometime next year.
Obama refused, however, to set a new ...

Ah, so the Republican party isn’t the only one torn by “civil war”, going through a “crackup”, experincing a “schism” , heading for a “split”, or committing “fratricide”.

Apropos of my post yesterday on the phantom “saved or created” jobs here in Maryland (and Eddiebear’s national scoop!), I notice that other folks have found that the administration has stowed a few extra congressional districts in their states, too. Dafydd Ab Hugh discovered ...

I didn’t get much time last week to talk about water on the moon, but I think the story is a big deal, for a couple reasons.
First, though, the really big news isn’t that the moon has water, but that it has a lot more water than we thought. When I say “water”, by [...]

If you’re up around 1 A.M. Tuesday morning or anytime from then until dawn, you might as well wander outside and catch one of the best, and easiest to find, meteor showers of the year. This month shower, called the Leonids because they seem to emanate from the constellation Leo, ...
