From the Post, Levi Johnston was spotted Tuesday at JFK airport where he refused to stand in line with the "regular" people. Levi, who goes by the name "Ricky Hollywood" these days, made quite a show of his boarding the flight headed for the left coast: A spy on his American Airlines flight told Page Six: "He then made a big show of getting on first. He was seated in the front row of first class, looking like he was born to be there and waiting for some recognition. Jason Alexander was quietly sitting behind him." We wish Levi would...

November 20, 2009 What's Next for Oprah? President? UN Secretary General? -and- WHY are we consumed by meaningless Speculation? by MrArbitrage Just a day after Oprah Winfrey announcing that she will be ending her talk show, we are already being overloaded by columns and news reports speculating on “Oprah's next move". I think she’s going to enjoy the attention from this PR stunt immensely. I can see it spinning out of control already and I’m not looking forward to listening to the speculation propounded ad nauseam by media pundits over the coming months. It’s on par to be bigger and...

Just another massive online RPG or is it encouraging domestic terrorism? Video

Beauty and the beast.....

In case you missed it, here is video of Part two of Sarah Palin's interview with Bill O'Reilly. Tonight, they focus on policy issues. Below is the first segment of tonight's Part 2 Interview. In the second part, not yet posted, Palin says bluntly that Obama's foreign policy is weak, citing the fact that Obama is "bowing to other world leaders." We'll post the rest of it once it is available . . . (VIDEO)

However, that false propaganda has succeeded in conducting an occupation the "minds" of some willfully misguided, or misinformed Americans.Recent statements made by the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, may be an indication that she is not so misinformed, has not been drinking the Islamist inspired propaganda, and that she "gets it", and understands the facts:"I disagree with the Obama administration on that," Palin told Walters. "I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks...

Elected officials in a leading U.S. city long distinguished for its pandemic of public corruption keep a secret, taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay family members, campaign workers and political allies for a variety of questionable jobs. The covert account has been utilized for decades by Chicago aldermen but has escaped public scrutiny because it’s kept under wraps. This week the Windy City’s local newspaper exposed the surreptitious pot of cash ($1.3 million a year) in a story that says the mayor is on the verge of asking a federal judge to end decades of court supervision over City Hall corruption....

Running through the litany of Obama’s most recent failures, the sycophant in chief at MSNBC has declared that the Obama administration is “not connected” (NK in Chris’s language) with the American people. Matthews stunned his audience of twelve (the janitorial staff leaves early on Fridays) by chiding the once deified Obama for his asinine over bow to the Japanese emperor. Revisiting one of his daffier theories, Matthews opined that Obama’ s real problem is an unnatural over abundance of IQ point which make it impossible for him to understand normal people. Et tu, Chrissy?

More allegations that Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson was protected by the Obama Administration released today. Did the Obama Administration cover-up sexual misconduct charges for Mayor Johnson, in order to save his election, and the Capitol City millions of federal dollars? A joint report released today by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the Senate Finance Committee Republican offers new insight into the political maneuvering at the White House to remove the Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) Gerald Walpin and revealed explosive allegations (see pages 24-30 of Just Released Walpin Referral Document) of...

As the Bank of America (BofA) CEO, one of the first phone calls that Jon Corzine might receive could come from Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President and White House frequent guest Andy Stern asking Corzine to forgive SEIU’s $88 million debt or at least to renegotiate the BofA terms. As former head of the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee and a Democrat governor from New jersey, Corzine knows all too well how much the Democrat party owes SEIU bosses. Corzine as head of Bank of America could create interesting opportunities for Stern. Debts are increasing at every level of the...

MSNBC Andrea Mitchell (who badgered Tea Parties with her obnoxious arrogance), tries to "confront" Palin with the latest Newsweak rag. Fortunately the cops were keeping the lunatic Mitchell at distance. LOL!

The entire segment from tonight's Hardball has Chris Matthews analyzing what's going wrong with the Obama administration. He hits on several points including the decision to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in New York, the group is too intellectual (too much Ivy League) and my personal favorite, he's missing the magical touch as witnessed by his bow to the Emperor in Japan. If you don't have time to watch the whole clip skip to 4:15 to pick up on Matthews rant about the bow, but he's surprisingly on target for the most part on where Obama is failing:

Looks like the Liberals at Berkley and other California Colleges are finally getting what they asked for. Maybe they should have used that college education to do a little more research on who they were voting for. 32% Inflation on UCLA Tuition. 14 Arrests one student Tazered are the reports I received from students. Tomorrow their will be another one at 10am. Sorry Conservatives that go to College in California. Best advice I have for you is to wake you fellow students up! VIDEOS AT LINK

The obnoxious Tina Fey, at the "Ad Council Annual Dinner" repeated the only shtick she is known for and showed her gutter-level sense of "humor". Tina Fey: "Mrs. Palin and I continue to have so much in common," - "They recently made a porn movie about Sarah Palin and then this same adult actress, Lisa Ann, played me in a porn parody of '30 Rock' ... And weirdly of the three of us, Lisa Ann knows the most about foreign policy."

How To Survive The Coming Global Economic Collapse Henry BlodgetNov. 20, 2009, 10:10 AM The following excerpt is from the blog "Surviving In Argentina," by Fernando Ferfal Aguirre. Ferfal lived through Argentina's economic implosion in 2001. Here, he shares some of his secrets to survival. So, guys, things don’t look good. It pains me to see America going through this and the consequences it will bring. These are critical days. Now is when we’ll get a better picture of how bad things will actually get, how long until we see the economy back on its feet. Instead of trying to...

Fudgie the Clown's short break to sell books to suckers turned out to be that, just a short break. Now he's back doing what he does best... Getting all bats**t crazy about Sarah Palin: Well, as promised the Dish is back to normal. I'm not. "Going Rogue" is such a postmodern book that treating it as some kind of factual narrative to check (as I began to), or comparing its version of events with her previous versions of the same events (as I have), and comparing all those versions with what we know is empirical reality (so many lies, so...

Jennifer Burns sits down with Reason.tv and discusses her book Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right, and Ayn Rand in general. Very good interview outlining how, though Rand despised Libertarianism, her work has continued to inspire Libertarian thought.

When you hear about ACORN getting help from the Justice Department (DOJ), most people hope it refers to the community organizing group getting an nice small room with bars, a warm bed and three squares a day. Unfortunately this is about the criminal enterprise ACORN, receiving money from the US department charged with maintaining law and order. The Office of the Inspector General of the Justice Department investigated whether the DOJ had provided grants to ACORN. The investigation covered whether: * ACORN applied for federal funds through DOJ-administered grant programs * ACORN received federal funds through DOJ-administered grant programs *...

Any good parent, or teacher, will tell you that repetition is one of the best teaching tools at our disposal when it comes to getting children to learn something. This process also works on adults. Hearing something repeated often enough would undoubtedly embed whatever it is that is being said into our thick little skulls. For example, this simple repeat strategy is why everyone between the ages of forty to sixty can immediately join in singing, “There she was just a walkin’ down the street singin’ do wa ditty, ditty dum ditty do.”

More hot air from gasbag Al Gore, the Global Warming, oops....I mean "Climate Change" (the label "Global Warming" doesn't exactly fit since global temperatures have been on the decline the past few years) pimp whose gullible, faith-based worshipers have coincidentally made him a millionaire, hundreds of times over.

Is Reagan Conservatism dead? The answer is a resounding - No! The ideal is as solid as it has ever been, but the objective view of this writer is that it is not enough to deliver this nation from the 70 year socialistic grip of liberalism and its horrific consequences (moral and institutional) on our society and people. Anyone who has an objective view and appraisal of our current situation would have to agree. In light of the present conditions plaguing our country and what seems to be the disintegration of the Republican Party, Conservatives have been on suicide alert...

Vote in Our Poll: What's Your Top 2010 Issue?

Pookie's Toons for November 20th.

Republican activist and free market think-tanker Grant Bosse formally declared his candidacy today in New Hampshire’s 00th Congressional District after news that the Obama administration has attributed a majority of the state’s stimulus jobs to that non-existent district. Bosse is in New Hampshire has only two congressional districts, neither of which are numbered “00.” “Even a fake district needs real leadership,” said Bosse while appearing on WGIR’s Charlie Sherman show on Friday morning. “The people overseeing the stimulus actually found more fake congressional districts than there are real congressional districts. So if we run in all 440 phantom congressional seats...

Anthony Watts over at Watts Up With That has a breaking story about unknown hacker or persons breaking into the East Anglia Climate Research Unit's database. The over 61 megs of data "appears to be genuinue" considering the herculean task of creating emails and other sundry data of such magnitude. I’m currently traveling and writing this from an airport, but here is what I know so far: An unknown person put postings on some climate skeptic websites that advertised an FTP file on a Russian FTP server, here is the message that was placed on the Air Vent today: We...

Good video if you've not seen it yet: Naomi Wolf on the attraction of Sarah Palin: "She's really articulating a Conservative Feminism, more clearly than any conservative woman has ever done. We're so used to seeing feminism hijacked by the left...the assumption is if you're a feminist, you're pro-choice, you're secular, you believe in big government."

This interview is the fifth installment of an on going series of conversations with the former Congressman and 2008 presidential candidate. It appears that the extended Idaho retirement vacation is coming to an end. Hunter and his wife Lynne were on the road, driving south through the Beehive State with the ultimate destination of their home in El Cajon, CA. Once again, we used the conference call service that allowed several of us to partake in this unique opportunity to query the man who is perhaps the most solid and consistent conservative legislator to have served our nation in modern...

Today elitist Nancy Pelosi has thrown Afghan President Karzi into the meat grinder. Besides this, back in October Obama opened up his bottomless checkbook to the Taliban. Also stating that in the future, Taliban members will be allowed into the Afghan government. Is it clear whose side the left is on? Pelosi calls Afghan Karzai "unworthy partner" WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Afghan President Hamid Karzai is an "unworthy partner" who does not deserve a big boost either in U.S. troops or civilian aid, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.

ClimateDepot.Com: Hacker Discovers Substantial Fraud in Climate Change Hoax including a link to the alleged CRU emails(bottom of post).

WASHINGTON — pResident Barack Obama made a decision in record time today, appointing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to the position of Terrorism Czar after learning of the idea just this morning from Attorney General Eric Holder following a recent bow-ful trip through Asia. Mohammed, detained as an enemy combatant since 2003, was scheduled to undergo a federal trial in Manhattan as the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Instead, he’ll be in charge of establishing terrorist camps throughout the U.S. to train Daily Kossacks, Democratic Undergroundlings, ACORNuts, public school children, and circus midgets in tactics proven to maim...

Here is video of Fox Business anchor Cody Willard attacking Sarah Palin during a discussion about her popularity in the polls. Cody Willard said "Sarah Palin makes me sick, she is one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet, she is not a conservative because when she was running with John McCain she stopped and lobbied for a trillion dollar Wall Street bailout." Willard said middle America "will reject her when that comes to light." (Video)

Somewhere behind a desk at the New York Times, someone watched the tape of a very long line of people standing in the cold to have a book signed by an insignificant author. He watched as an old lady shuffled forward with her books. The line is so long. The man at the Times picked up the phone, gave the order to print the story about the ruby slippers, and elected the next president of the United States of America.

Hot air, see, will blow a certain class of women towards the sea, especially in the Philippines. Think of it as sort of sultry climatic-induced mass migration. Now, waiting by the hot sea, in earnest expectation, will be sweaty sailors. You’ve seen them! Says Mukherjee, the shore-based women in heat will then “perform sexual services for transient [these] seafarers.” Not for free. For a fee. I know what you’re thinking...

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin officially launched her “Going Rogue” book tour Wednesday in the western Michigan city of Kentwood, and the crowd, somewhat predictably, went wild. More than 1,000 people were waiting in line before Ms. Palin even arrived, according the Detroit News. Many commentators have already compared the aesthetics of Palin’s book tour to a political campaign – the bus she’s using, the buttons for sale, the wild cheers. And looking at her announced tour stops through Patchwork Nation’s 12 community-type framework, there may be other campaign significance. If you were to devise a campaign tour for...

I keep asking my liberal frends how they can continue to support Democrats like Senator Reid when they all lie almost everytime they open their mouths. How can Reid say, with a straight face, that his bill will "save Medicare"? If they cut Medicare by almost $500 billion as his bill intends, it will destroy Medicare. If the Democrats restore the cuts in a slight of hand, it will destroy our economy. When a national politician of the Democratic Party speaks, like Obama, Holder, Reid, Pelosi or Durbin, they are either lying, spinning or distorting the subject so as to...

Barack Obama’s special envoys have hardly blazed a trail on the international stage have they? George Mitchell has had as much success in the Middle East as Ireland had in qualifying for the World Cup. Richard Holbrooke, the AfPak envoy, is no Akhund of Swat. In fact, he is rarely seen in either Afghanistan or Pakistan. So who is it that will enforce the will of the West on the dastardly and corrupt Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan? Why, Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, of course. The New York Times says she has struck an “unlikely rapport” with the cuddly Afghan...

What's more imortant to the US Army than the lives of 13 soldiers? Apparently, the commitment by the US Army not to offend Muslims. Obama and his merry band of hangers-on, led by the US Army and General Casey, continue to hem and haw about the Ft Hood attacks and simply refuse to call it terrorism, but any reasonable look at the pre-slaughter work of psychia-terrorist Major Nidal Hasan shows us what he really is. The amazing thing is that he was so public and obvious about it... and that 13 soldiers are dead because of the US Army's fear...

In a stunning announcement, the White House today announced the end of the Thanksgiving holiday; it is to be replaced by a new event some are calling “political correctness run amok.” The new event, to be called ”Baracksgiving”, is described by the President as “similar to Thanksgiving in many ways, but it’s now an event that re-energizes the meaningfulness of family while keeping proper perspective on who we are and our place in the world.”

“There’s no such thing as monsters.” We tell our kids that. The truth is that monsters are real. A real live monster might live next door to you, or across the street from your child’s school, even around the corner from your church. These monsters are called “Sex Offenders”, a label that is far too innocuous to convey the evil of those who have earned it. Somer Renee Thompson...Only one thing is known for certain: on the way home from school that fateful day, Somer met a monster face-to-face.

This is the global warming version of the Pentagon Papers, when Daniel Ellsberg stole a top-secret study of American Decision making during the Vietnam war and gave it to the NY Times. A Hacker got into the files of the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites these confidential files onto the internet. What these files outline is a systematic cover-up of science disproving global warming the climate change moonbats. According to the BBC, A university spokesman confirmed the email system had been hacked and that information was taken and published...

The way our system is set up in our country when it comes to presidential elections, the winner of each other state in the popular vote count takes all electoral votes, aka “Winner Takes All”. With this system, we have seen quite a few landslides, such as Reagan- Mondale, Clinton-Bush and most recently, Obama-McCain. But, what if each state were to enact legislation that gave electoral votes to the respective candidates based on the popular vote in each state. One would have to wonder how some of the election results would look after proportional voting went into effect? Bare in...

DISGUSTING: Despite legislation passed by Congress to make it possible to sue foreign governments that sponsor terrorism, in a filing in federal court, the Justice Department is arguing that giving the money to the victims "can have significant, detrimental impact on our foreign relations, as well as the reciprocal treatment of the United States and its extensive overseas property holdings."

The latest United Nations concern is the fear of a global food shortage. However, the U.N. and the United States are to blame for the crisis. It is interesting that food shortages in the world first became apparent over the last decade coinciding with the US-led effort to change the world's industry from growth to stagnation in an attempt to convert it to a green-based economy.

This hurts: The federal government is "doing everything in [its] manpower [and] capability to destroy U.S. manufacturing," says David Farr, chairman and CEO of Emerson Electric Co. Farr added that companies will continue adding jobs in China and India because they are "places where people want the products and where the governments welcome you to actually do something. I am not going to hire anybody in the United States. I'm moving. They are doing everything possible to destroy jobs."

Another Saturday health care vote appears to be in the works, this time in the Senate. While the Senate may be may be taking its cue from the "success" of the House in its' Saturday vote, there are a few differences between the two bills that could push any resolution of the health care debate well into next year. Still conventional wisdom has it that if Reid is able to pull together the 60 votes he needs in this important opening vote, some 2000 page piece of legislation will eventually make its'way to the President's desk. Holdouts can be bought...

Surprisingly little attention has been paid to the crucial years Barack Obama spent growing up in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 1967 to 1971, ages 6 to 10 in his life. These formative years, when a child first spends significant time in the wider world beyond his family environment, must have taught him many lessons about America, some of them very unpleasant, given the particular situation of his family. It would have been brutally difficult for any child, including young Barry Soetoro as he was then known, to have been uprooted from Honolulu, where his mother raised him as a single mom...

Newly elected president of the EU talks of global government - 2009 first year of global governance with establishment of G20 in the middle of financial crisis.

About a week ago, Pat Robertson stated that Islam is a "violent political system." (Short video on site.) He happens to be correct, but as usual one of our politicians has to come running to stand up for a religion/political system that they know little about. Virginia's 11Th District Congressman Gerry Connolly (D), has issued this statement calling for Pat Robertson to apologize for his comments about Islam. “In the week since Mr. Robertson’s statement that Islam is ‘not a religion’ but a ‘violent political system’ whose adherents should be treated like members of the communist or fascist party, I...
