"NPR executives caught on tape bashing conservatives and Tea Party, touting liberals"

— Which is all very shocking, given how neutral and taxpayer funded NPR is. When it’s not being too damn conservative, I mean. No, really. In a new video released Tuesday morning by conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe, Schiller and Betsy Liley, NPR’s director of institutional giving, are seen meeting with two men who, unbeknownst to the NPR executives, are posing as members of a Muslim Brotherhood front group. The men,

"Interior Secretary Says White House Opposes Drilling in Arctic Because It Will Not Lead to Energy Independence"

Green energy. That’s the way to go, according to Secretary Salazar. And really, why aren’t you all clamoring for it? Hasn’t the Administration’s policies — all designed to drive up oil prices, to make gassing up your cars and heating your homes cost prohibitive, and to “nudge” you into accepting green energy as the affordable and eco-friendly wave of the future — taught you yet how you’re supposed to “voluntarily”

Politics?

Posh. I just cleaned and pressed a 30lb York blob by the face. Let’s concentrate on the important things, people.

"Government posts biggest monthly deficit ever"

$223 billion in February alone. Compare this number to, say, the entire yearly deficit in 2007. Which was about $160 billion. Then despair.

What is it about Oregon liberals and attacking the children of conservatives?

Wow. After we get the country back, it’s time for some de-nazification in our universities and in our mainstream press. Or we can just scrap both and start from scratch. Either way. (thanks to Carin)

"Number of healthcare reform law waivers climbs above 1,000"

Haves and have nots. Two Americas. Remember that the next time some leftist starts bitching about the unequal distribution of wealth. (h/t Right Bias)

Self-righteous political correctness —

But I’ve noticed a certain Europeanification of the GOP of late, as regard to Muslims. For years, Republicans have explained

Conservatism vs Pragmatism

Compare and contrast. Question: how can you tell when the “pragmatic” wing of your party is actively working against you? Well, I can’t say definitively, but when they’re appearing at a re-election fundraiser in a swing state for a socialist many of their like profess won’t be beaten in 2012 — and by juxtaposition, actively working against the real reform being pushed in Wisconsin and elsewhere (Obama, after all, himself

Saturday Night Zen

Cake covers Kenny Rogers: TEA Party cleans up the mess left by union protesters. Literally, this time. (h/t geoffB)

"Connecticut Town Ordered to Pay for Union Workers’ Coffee"

Yup. Hell in a frickin’ handbasket: A Connecticut town must provide their union workers free coffee and milk, according to a ruling from the State Board of Labor Relations. The board also ordered town leaders to reinstate “Dress Down Fridays” for the union clerical and custodial workers. The dispute involved the town of Orange and the local chapter of the United Public Service Employees Union. The board determined the town
