Dogs Know When You’re Lying
by Tammy on August 18, 2009And where the treats are. And whether or not you’re sincere. And what’s in the shopping bag. At least Sydney knows. Really, how could I ever mislead that face? Study: Dogs can dig through human deception Man’s best friend or food-grubbing flatterer? Dogs are no dummies either way, suggests a study showing how canines respond to deception. Fido always seems to know which hand hides the treat, even without sniffing, and researchers and pet owners alike have long wondered whether pooches imagine what we are thinking or whether they simply read body language. “Dogs evolved with humans, and a number of studies have suggested they are particularly sensitive to human cues…” Okay, for all you Sydney fans, here’s another pic...

On the O’Reilly Factor Tonight
by Tammy on August 18, 2009**Bumped up with video** This time we’ll discuss the chaos surrounding the so-called ‘public option’ of Obama’s DeathCare bill. For an indication of just how much chaos, take a look at what you get from a Google search on the issue. As I noted in today’s Tammy Radio, the fact that conflicting messages are coming out of the WH and Congress on the issue indicates chaos in the WH itself, and that Obama has lost control of his most important project. Why? Not just because the idea is disastrous, socialist and idiotic (three things which naturally go together) but because Urkel does not know how to govern. And make no mistake–this is not the doing of any Republican effort. If...

Sarah Palin: Renegade
by Tammy on August 17, 2009That’s right. Sarah Palin: The Rise of the Renegade Although completely unknown to the world east and south of Juneau one year ago, two words on Twitter by Sarah Palin sent the president of the United States in a panic to the op-ed page of the Sunday New York Times in opposition… Gingrich, Rick Perry, Carly Fiorina and others seeking office should take note: If Sarah Palin goes to a baseball game with Rudy Giuliani, it remains in the press for two weeks. When Sarah Palin talks, or does virtually anything, people watch and listen. They listen even to her silence, waiting beneath the window for an appearance… History always begins its cycles with renegades. There is no longer any...

‘Conservatives’ Outnumber Liberals In Every State
by Tammy on August 17, 2009Not such a surprise these days, and a little something that should give you some hope about your fellow Americans. And just a reminder–this is about Americans identifying as conservative, not Republican. So-called GOP party leadership should take note of that. Conservatives Now Outnumber Liberals in All 50 States, Says Gallup Poll Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll. At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years… According to new data released by Gallup on Friday, conservatives outnumber liberals in all 50 states–including President Obama’s home state of Illinois–even though Democrats...

Congressman Boasts: “I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district…”
by Pat_S on August 17, 2009A post by Pat Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) evidently despises the people he represents and will adamantly vote against their wishes if he thinks it’s for their own good. Here he is boasting to his ideological compatriots at the Netroots Nation cattle call. Massa Addresses Netroots MASSA: I’m not going to vote for 3200 as it’s currently written. Step one, I will vote for a single payer option or a bill that does have a medicare coupled public option, which we don’t have right now. If my town hall meetings turn into the same media frenzies and ridiculousness, because every time that happens we lose. We lose another three million people in America. They see that happening and negate us....

Requiem for the Twentieth Century
by Maynard on August 17, 2009A post by Maynard This debate over government medical care reminded me of a small incident in Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”; an anecdote involving a man who loved phonograph records. This is one of the tales of the (fictional) Twentieth Century Motor Company‘s demise, as related by an ex-employee. I’m posting an excerpt from that segment of the book. By the way, I think the world of Rand’s novels, and give them my highest recommendation…BUT I’m not presenting Rand as a saint, nor do I advocate her model as a realistic blueprint for utopia. I see the greatest strength of her work in the portrayal of the dehumanizing effect of leftist policies. Her writing clarifies how and why we are...

Poster-Sized O’Joker Pic
by Tammy on August 17, 2009I have received a link from the person who sent me the original O’Joker pic to the original pic in poster size. You know, just in case someone might want it in poster size, say, for a march on Washington or something. Hypothetically. Around 9/12. Oh, and I’ve just been alerted that a single version may suddenly be available as well. Stay tuned to the same Bat Time, same Bat Station… UPDATE: Okay, here’s the link to a large single of the O’Joker poster, from the original pic. Hope you find this helpful for a doormat, a protest sign, or whatever. MAYNARD UPDATE: Here are quick links to commercial searches on keywords “Obama” and “joker”: CafePress, Zazzle, and eBay. There’s...

Tammy Radio Declares Its Independence
by Tammy on August 16, 2009For those of you who listen regularly to Tammy Radio, you already know starting tomorrow, Monday, August 17 Tammy Radio Weekday goes independent and commercial free. We took the weekend show commando a number of weeks ago to see if you’d like the new format and I must say I’m thrilled with the response. My commitment to independence is rooted in not wanting to be answerable to anyone but my listeners and readers. In this new world of raging liberal gestapos, groupthink, and and the Thought Police, the best and most effective way for me to continue my work is in New Media, and with your support exclusively. Tomorrow this new effort begins, and I want to thank all of...

Obama Backs Down?
by Maynard on August 16, 2009A post by Maynard Headline: White House appears ready to drop ‘public option’. Bowing to Republican pressure and an uneasy public, President Barack Obama’s administration signaled Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new health care system. The “public option” was an obvious Trojan Horse, with the intention of driving alternatives out of business, leaving only a “public option” that was anything but optional. I’m not yet ready to pop the champagne, but this would suggest the threat of government control over our personal health options is diminished. I think most of us agree that there are problems with health care that could be reasonably addressed by...

You Know B. Hussein’s in Trouble When…
by Tammy on August 16, 2009Images like this start popping up on liberal magazines for teh gheys (as the LOLcats would say ;) ) It would have been more accurate, of course, without the question mark. And hey, did they get his eyes to do that by putting a 16-year-old Italian girl in the room?

Swine Flu Shot Linked to Fatal Nerve Disease
by Tammy on August 15, 2009Senior British neurologists sound alarm over potential link to Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) with the new Swine Flu shot, similar to deadly problems associated with the 1976 flu shot debacle.

Swine flu jab link to killer nerve disease: Leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists over 25 deaths in America A warning that the new swine flu jab is linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter. The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to...
