HW & Bubba’s National Institute on Civil Discourse is going to be full-up if all the people I keep recommending for an intervention and inpatient treatment program end up going there.

Meet the Kathleen Sebelius of the Muslim World

Filed Under Religion | 4 Comments

Kathleen Sebelius once schooled a reporter on the proper way to sneeze (put your face in the crook of your elbow and say “abortion on demand!”), but this guy’s hygiene lesson is far more comprehensive that Kat’s: (h/t iOwnTheWorld)

Protesters Refuse to Leave Capitol; Police Melt Like Wisconsin Cheddar in a Fondue Pot

Filed Under Moonbats, Politics, Unions | 6 Comments

If these were Tea Partiers, what do you think the police would do? Of course, that’s a ridiculous scenario, because the Tea Party is respectful of laws and property while the other side isn’t compelled to play by those rules, and unfortunately they have the blessing of the police: The occupation of the Wisconsin Capitol [...]

Palin to Announce in April?

Filed Under Politics | 26 Comments

It’s very early, but so far I’ve been horribly underwhelmed by most of the names being bandied about for the GOP nomination. My grocery list is more exciting. That’s why whenever the name of an actual conservative is mentioned as a possibility, my interest is piqued. The Republican fray will need one, two, or more, [...]

Another Campaign Promise Bites the Dust

Obama to unions in 2007: “Understand this, if American workers are being denied their right to collectively bargain when I’m in the White House, I’m going to put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself — I’ll walk on that picket line with you…” It’s taking him a long time to find those shoes: Besides, [...]

I’ve got a half-dozen things to take care of this morning, so here’s the open thread Nanny requested a couple of weeks ago (better late than never).
