Just look at what $600,000 of taxpayer money will get you. The Homeland Security Department spent $600,000 apiece to build houses in Arizona that would have gone for less than $100,000, according to a report in the Arizona Republic that’s raising questions in Congress. […] The Republic said Homeland Security built 21 homes and bought 20 other mobile homes for $15 million. Comparable homes go for between $70,000 and $100,000,

First, there’s the new Medal of Freedom recipient, Oprah Winfrey, whose courage in the face of liking cake and learning to love herself for the billionnairess that she is has provided feminists everywhere with a playbook for turning public insecurity into its own form of empowerment. As you know doubt heard, Oprah was wrongly racially profiled by racist Swiss sales clerk in a degrading Pretty Women moment, told she couldn’t

…and maybe even has me under direct surveillance? I don’t want to come across as paranoid, or be accused of being part of the black helicopter crowd, who we know believe that the Jews, in league with extraterrestrials, are using advanced joint Israeli/otherworldly technologies to keep the Palestinians in poverty, run the world banks, control the world media, and corner the global markets on gold, precious metals, and Avril Lavigne

So let’s not be too quick to judge.  NetRightDaily: [my emphasis] “[W]e estimate that the second LSAP program, known as QE2, added about 0.13 percentage point to

Wait. There was an argument attached to that propagandist catch phrase? And here I thought it was all about selling bumper stickers to clueless morons who like to wear the trappings of political activism without having to do the difficult work of knowing what the fuck it is they’re talking about. Guess I have egg on my face! Pethokoukis: “This growing inequality,” President Obama said during his recent Knox College

Latest study says climate change — the warming part of it, though, not the cooling part, which is caused by the warming part, or else vice versa (please, stop getting caught up in the details, anti-science denialists; it’s very technical and you, with your god and your guns and your racism wouldn’t understand the nuances of the calculations involved) — can cause wars. — Which, if you think about it,

From Hannity’s radio program, the issue being defunding ObamaCare, which of course the brilliant GOP strategists believe is a fool’s errand — while success, evidently, is raising money off of people’s displeasure with it, then using that money to win 1.9% of your races. But, you know. The Architect!

It looks like the national conversation on constitutionalism may finally be forced into the mainstream by The Liberty Amendments and the collective push of (real) conservative talk radio and certain FOX hosts to promote it, for good or ill. That’s a positive turn of events, and something I’ve advocated for for years — most (in)famously, I suppose, in the Hot Air piece in which I argued we should actively and
