Shot in the Dark

  • I’m Not Going To Say…

    …”when Obama’s lost SNL, he’s truly lost” – I mean, nobody really thinks about SNL much any more, do they? And yet…: And the “funny” thing is, this is better “Journalism” than most of the mainstream media has done on the subject of Barack Rex’s overreach. John Fund: It’s no wonder that the White House…

  • Fear Of A Dumb Planet

    SCENE: Mitch BERG is walking through the woods in Como Park, looking for a place to practice the bagpipes. Suddenly, Avery LIBRELLE jumps out from behind a tree.  LIBRELLE:  Hey, Merg!  Your sides has been owned again! BERG:  Er, Avery?  What are you doing in the middle of the woods? LIBRELLE: Stakeout for climate criminals.  So…

  • More Signs Of That Smoking Obama Economic Recovery!

    Durable goods orders are off.  Unexpectedly, natch.

  • “The Most Dictatorial President We’ve Ever Had”

    Watch this video starring Ted Nugent, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage, in which President Obama is called…well, exactly that. UPDATE:  I lied.  It’s not Nugent, Hannity and Savage.  It’s Nat Hentoff, liberal civil libertarian and godfather of the ACLU.  He’s a liberal – but he has been committed enough to actual civil liberty over the…

  • This Is How Stupid They Think You Are

    SCENE:  The Admiralty, London, May, 1940.  Winston CHURCHILL is poring over a map in the Admiralty’s operation’s center, looking over the deteriorating situation in France.  He is joined by Admiral Nigel FRIEDEN, head of the Royal Navy’s public health wing. CHURCHILL:  It is clear that we are going to have to evacuate the British Army…

  • Subsidiary

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Subsidiarity” is the Conservative political principle that says things ought to be managed at the lowest level of organization capable of handling them.  School lunches, for example, should be selected by millions of individual Moms, not dictated by The First Lady of The United States. President Obama is committed…

  • When You’ve Got Carter Bagging On You…

    …then you know you’re bad. When you’ve got Carter bagging on you from the right on defense and foreign policy, it’s time to whiz on the dogs and call in the fire.

  • Epitaph

     Someday, when we need an epitaph for the Obama Years, I’m going to submit this paragraph by Mattew Continetti: Over the last few years the divergence between what the government promises and what it delivers, between what it says is happening or will happen and what actually is happening and does happen, between what it…

  • Rule Of Man

    Eric Holder’s greatest legacy – and perhaps Barack Obama’s, by the time we put this wretched era in the history books? He was a staunch advocate of the rule of men, rather than laws.  Throughout Holder’s six years in office, Holder trampled the rule of lawand ruled by fiat, essentially making it up as he…

  • Now, Perhaps, He’ll Walk to Mexico

    Holder resigns as AG.  Now – how about some subpoenas?

  • The New Neocon

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Obama has adopted the Bush Doctrine. I think it’s more a matter of him reverting to form for Democrats. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton broke with the 20th century Democrat tradition of getting the US involved in wars overseas. Obama has dived back into that trough, whole hog.

  • It Wasn’t An Intruder…

    … It was an “undocumented visitor”.

  • They’re Gonna Need Another “War On Women”

    Two years of “war on women” rhetoric gets the Democrats… …bupkes: Women surveyed said they disapprove of Obama by a 50 percent to 44 percent margin — nearing an all-time low in the poll. It’s almost the reverse of the 55 percent to 44 percent breakdown for Obama among female voters in 2012, according to…

  • Line Up That Second Peace Prize!

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Remember when all President Obama planned to do was cure the sick, end joblessness, slow the rise of the oceans, heal the planet, end war, secure our nation’s borders and restore our nation’s image abroad? That was nothing. Now he’s going to “eliminate the the schism between Sunni and…

  • Defense

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: President Obama will address the nation Wednesday, September 10th, outlining his plans to fight Islamic terrorists. Islamic terrorists have hit America twice on September 11th. If they have something lined up and hit us again on Thursday, right after President Obama tells the world his grand plan to fight…

  • Jeffersonianism By Omission

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: The US has become so impotent in the Middle East that Egypt and United Arab Emirates have stepped up to fight Muslim terrorists, without bothering to mention it to us. The Obama Administration was taken by surprise. This might be a good thing, in the long run. Washington and…

  • Our President Misses The Concept Of “Democratic” Government

    The Lightworker, on his penchant for trampling the separation of powers: “The American people don’t want me just standing around twiddling my thumbs and waiting for Congress to get something done,” Obama said. Well, yes, Mr. President; if Congress doesn’t pass legislation, those of us who understand the Constitution, especially the bit about “separation of…

  • Our Gullible Left

    Nobody is going to “impeach” President Obama. Oh, some fringers will write angry demands for impeachment; some overwrought but underinformed people on the far outskirts of the political mainstram will take up the call, wave their signs, buy their T-shirts and bumper-stickers – the usual stuff. But there’s not going to be an impeachment, because…

  • Akbar

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: President Obama praises Muslims for contributions in building the very fabric of America. Really? Name three. Much as I support recognizing immigrants’ contributions, I got nothing.

  • A Watchdog That Only Barks At Mailmen

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: They completely missed the real scandal, which is President Obama’s imperial disregard for the law, but at least this is a step in the right direction. Sorry about the annoying survey pop-up, no wonder nobody reads that newspaper. Gun-running to Mexico and refusing to enforce the borders don’t bother…

  • Barack Rex

    Woman in Los Angeles, deep in the throes of labor, prevented from crossing street get to the hospital because of King Barack’s motorcade. Peasants must know their place.

  • An Unexpected Disappointing Tragedy

    A guided missile shoots down a Malaysian jetliner carrying over 200 people including almost 2 dozen Americans, is apparently shot down over a proxy war zone. The President observes the “tragedy” briefly, and then goes back on script to demand Republicans build more airports.  It’s tiresome to keep repeating “if it’d been any Republican, can…

  • The 3AM Phone Call

    Malaysian jet carring 23 Americans shot down – possiblly by Russian surface-to-air missile fire – over Ukraine. Isn’t it just about vacation time for the Resident in Chief?

  • The Only Reason…

    …for this story, obviously, is racism. But what difference does it make, at this point?

  • Too Late The Hero

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: President Obama wants to get tough on immigration but those darn Republicans won’t let him.  He has asked Congress to let him borrow an extra $3.7 Billion to beef up border patrols and speed up deportation cases. No mention of the President’s career-long opposition to immigration reform, his decision to sue Arizona…
