Someone Opened The Flying Pig Barn Door!
by Tammy on December 8, 2009Wow, not just one Flying Pig story today, but two! Well, I suppose when there’s one, there could be more. Or was that just about Tiger Woods? What? In this sighting of a second Flying Pig, the Washington Post offers up a…Sarah Palin op-ed! Sweet, and if I may say, baconny-good. But wait, how much Co2 do Flying Pigs emit anyway? Copenhagen’s political science With the publication of damaging e-mails from a climate research center in Britain, the radical environmental movement appears to face a tipping point. The revelation of appalling actions by so-called climate change experts allows the American public to finally understand the concerns so many of us have articulated on this issue… “Climate-gate,” as the e-mails and...

A Decent Online Review for Palin–from the NYT
by Tammy on December 8, 2009It’s interesting when a review which is simply fair has to get the Flying Pig Award, but here it is. Yes, it is nice to see a review in the Lamestream Media that not only isn’t savage, but is written by a person who seems to have read the book, and while isn’t a fan of Palin’s politically, is honest about the book’s importance and impact. I will add, however, that this review is “exclusive online commentary”. Kudos to Stanley Fish, yet the NYT, it appears, does not have the courage to print the review in its paper. That doesn’t matter, though–especially considering Sarah Palin’s Facebook page now has a wider circulation than the New York Times ;) Sarah Palin...

Sen. Reid’s Dangerous Hatemongering
by Maynard on December 8, 2009A post by Maynard You probably know the story by now. “Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, ‘slow down, stop everything, let’s start over.’ If you think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right,” Reid said Monday. “When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said ‘slow down, it’s too early, things aren’t bad enough.’” Not satisfied with that, Senate Majority Leader Reid went on to put his political opposition in the category of those who opposed civil rights and women’s suffrage. Another day, another vicious insult. Does it matter? Here’s the key point: Pay attention to...

The Compulsion to Confess
by Maynard on December 7, 2009Pay attention to the hand gesture Obama makes 15 seconds into this clip. Could such an overt motion be an accident? Would you make such a gesticulation, in front of a camera or otherwise? Might Obama be expressing what he really thinks of us? Or perhaps this is merely another teleprompter malfunction?

Health Care and Bankrupting America
by Maynard on December 6, 2009An opinionated post by Maynard They say Obama is off to Washington to give his health care package the final push. The big wheels are grinding toward…what? I think one of the most fundamental errors of the Left is an excessive focus on economic distribution. The implicit assumption is that if only goods and services are “fairly” shared, then peace and harmony will prevail. Of course, I, too, think my ideology is “fair”. But I’m more interested in enabling and encouraging individuals to be productive, and I’m opposed to the accumulation of excessive power in a central authority that seizes wealth for “fair” redistribution. On that path lies short-term cronyism and long-term tyranny. Life has also taught me that people...

Gibbs clarifies Afghanistan timeline
by Pat_S on December 4, 2009A post by Pat The President in his West Point speech stressed getting out of Afghanistan, even going so far as to set a date for the beginning of the “transition”. A lot of people (and probably the cadets in the audience judging by their faces) thought this was a dumb ass thing to do. Clinton, Gates and Gibbs among others are scrambling around now trying to reassure everyone we aren’t planning an abandonment of Afghanistan. They point out that Obama did mention “conditions on the ground”. He mentioned dates more than conditions and said nothing about a December 2010 reevaluation. McCain got his mug on the news asking Gates if it was a date certain or conditions that would...
