Security Theater Sets a Dangerous New Norm in Air Travel

by Eileen | 10:59 pm, March 8, 2013

Recently, is a rare, nay, unprecedented, display of good sense, the TSA announced that, as of April 25, 2013, small knives will again be allowed in carry-on baggage. To date, 9,300 people have signed a petition, sponsored by airline workers unions, to overturn that.  In part, the petition language reads: Our nation’s aviation system is [...]

Look Who Shot Herself in the Foot! (Hint, It’s Evie Hudak)

by Eileen | 12:52 am, March 7, 2013

The Denver Post dug up the numbers Evie Hudak was relying on when she made her atrocious criticism of a rape victim who was testifying before the legislature. In short, it’s a 15-year-old study and the actual statistic Hudak alluded to is nowhere to be found in the study. Because it apparently struck her as [...]

Do We Now Get to Call Joe Salazar a “Rapist”?

by T.L. James | 8:13 am, February 19, 2013

I mean, that’s what lefties did to Ken Buck, after all: equated his treatment of an unprosecutable rape case with him being a rapist himself. Now, Joe Salazar’s comments yesterday are nothing like what Ken Buck did (no…they’re actually bad). But that won’t matter a bit. In a few days, this will all blow over [...]

A Banal, Mendacious State of the Union

by Eileen | 9:34 pm, February 12, 2013

Well, what can I say?  There are only three of these fatuous orgies of self-flattery left to go. The cybersecurity executive order and snide demand that Congress produce a bill to the President’s specifications was foreseen.  By me.  Told you you so.  Told you so.  Told you so. I just loved that abuse of the [...]

Caption Contest: President Skeeter

by T.L. James | 11:33 am, February 2, 2013

Have at it, folks: When people compare you to Jimmy Carter, it helps to be prepared for killer rabbit attacks. He’s so Progressive he even shoots left-handed! The President had to adjust his aim down, since the trap machine wasn’t powerful enough to fling Fox News reporters very high. Always obsessed with out-doing the Bush [...]

In Which the Washington Bureau Chief Parses a Chain E-Mail and, in so doing, Gives Herself a New Project

by Eileen | 1:21 pm, February 1, 2013

I received the following chain e-mail.  I have though, stripped it of the weird formatting and superfluous characters so endemic to the genre.  You may thank me in the comments. What organization is described by the following? 36 have been accused of spousal abuse 7 have been arrested for fraud 19 have been accused of [...]

In Which the Washington Bureau Chief Parses the ‘Growth and Opportunity Project’ and Concludes the GOP Isn’t Learning

by Eileen | 10:33 pm, January 26, 2013

I am taking the GOP’s survey, goofily titled the ‘Growth and Opportunity Project‘ and thought I’d share the experience with you.  I learned that this delightful opportunity was available through Daily Kos.  That the Republicans have managed to reach out to free market minions who habitually read the opposition’s press but are not getting coverage [...]

Privacy Bills in the House, a First Look: Jeanne Labuda is Doing it for the Children.

by Eileen | 8:23 am, January 25, 2013

WHAT: HB 13-1082, Expunging juvenile records WHO: Rep. Jeanne Labuda (D-1) WHY: Never take a reference from a leftist; they always want to give someone a second chance. Normally, people like me are pleased to see Jeanne Labuda turn her rapacious little head to anything that isn’t an out-and-out tax hike.  Not, methinks, in this [...]

Hillary Clinton Lip-Synced Before Congress…or Something

by Eileen | 6:35 am, January 24, 2013

You know, here’s what I can’t stop thinking about. Yesterday, the Secretary of State acted like a bad soap actress in giving testimony to Congress, yelling and emoting rather than providing any answers.  The one moment that horrifies me is when she angrily said “What difference does it make?!?!?!?!?” The Executive Branch is snubbing Congress [...]
