I’m beginning to think the Mayans were speaking figuratively.

You’ve heard me mention this before:  sixteen abstentions would lead to a (potential) tie for election of House Speaker, provided no Dems cross over to vote for Boehner, resulting in an opportunity for Republicans eager to serve their constituencies to pick a replacement — one that need not even be in the House. I offered previously for consideration Allen West, but there are a number of others who could do

After the zombie apocalypse goes full blown, there won’t be much of a market for any jewelry or so-called precious metals, save for diamonds and copper.  So were I you — and I was looking to take on a score of wives in order to help build a clan and then repopulate the earth with liberty-loving conservatives — I’d skip the engagement ring altogether and propose by getting down on

Here’s what’s coming our way.  And it ain’t just conservatives who will suffer as a result of our electorate having re-upped for fundamental transformation.  There are old, infirm, in-pain hippies with deteriorating eyesight, too — and no amount of progressive bona fides or Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young on the iPhone will save them from the clinical inefficiency of a bloated, bean-counting bureaucracy bent on protecting its own power, control,

Goddamn Christers.  Always fucking up the free exercise of libertinism / uterus scraping in the name of some goofy idea about religious freedom .  Christ.  Don’t these Heavenhumpers watch Bill Maher?

More than 100 conservative leaders — including Santorum megadonor Foster Friess, RedState editor Erick Erickson, Phyllis Schlafly, longtime GOP activist Morton

The temptation will always exist to try procuring for free what you should instead be bartering for.  For instance, one might be tempted to drape himself in the pelt of a brown bear, say, and make a night-time raid on a rival camp with a weak perimeter, trusting that the fear his sudden counterfeit attack inspires will coax a flight instinct, leaving the disguised interloper free to gather up thermal

This crony corporatist (how much did GE pay in taxes again?) is now head of Obama’s jobs council. And, like every liberal fascist before him, he pines after authoritarian control and a police state decked out in the guise of a representative republic — while crony capitalists, working with the government, regulate away competition and consolidate power. Which, incidentally, was the bridge stage before nationalization of industry in Bellamy’s Looking

I don’t know how you feel, but this Obama foreign policy we’ve now voted twice for is like, so totally fair, you know?  No more hegemons.  No more superpowers or a military industrial complex powerful enough to keep the people down.  North Korea successfully arming for the big time?  What could be a better indication that the last vestiges of oppressive American world policing is coming to an end under
