No more calls please, we already have a winner for this week’s “Andrew Meyer Golden Taser Award,” and the proud recipients are from just down the expressway from me.

Below is 22 seconds of Barack Obama saying that we wouldn’t need to drill for any more oil if we’d just keep our tires properly inflated, and if we did so the country would save the same amount of oil we’d get if we did the domestic drilling that Republicans and some Democrats are calling [...]

Filed Under Current Events, War | Leave a Comment

No wonder so many “musicians” are against the war — the artists aren’t getting any royalties when their songs are used to torture people, and a Canadian lawyer says certain songwriters might be owed money. Good idea. Nothing makes a left-wing artist gain ready acceptance of actions they formerly disdained like a nice, fat royalty [...]

Filed Under Current Events, Politics | Leave a Comment

The trailer for Oliver Stone’s upcoming movie “W” is now available. I couldn’t stop laughing. Maybe that’s the emotion Stone was going for. Overall, I don’t think it’s going to work. The left (of which Stone is a charter member) thinks that George W. Bush is a joke, and the movie is written from this [...]
