A Small L is Better »

Conservative and Libertarian pundits are having an outrage competition among themselves over Obama getting BP to put some money up front for victim compensation.  The best and the brightest pontificaters are joining the dumbest and the dullest and they’re all spitting mad.  It’s an Outrage!  It’s a Shakedown!  A Shakedown, I tell ya!  It’s bad […]

San Francisco Pays an $80 Million Stupidity Tax »

The Left Coast has always been a hotbed of woo, junk science and nanny alarmism.  I have power tools labeled “WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.”  Damn, and I’d been planning on French kissing my router.  There goes my Saturday […]

Farewell, Helen Thomas »

I’ve always admired Helen Thomas, even though I vehemently disagree with most of her politics.  I liked her style, a mix of brash feistiness and a take-no-prisoners attitude. Most reporters in the White House Press room are mild little sheep that are very, very careful not to piss off the powers-that-be.  That’s understandable – no […]
