The University Where Nobody Gets Raped

Watching Liberals dance around their own cultural Marxism is fun, but rape is serious business.   Parents will want to consider alternatives to sending their daughter into sexual bondage at some progressive rape emporium, no matter how big their “endowment” is.    

A cynical blogger might think that these White House security breaches were deliberate.

Headline c/o Moe Lane An inability to keep people from crossing the White House Border Fence… …apparently leads to a scenario where this is proposed. Security Service officials said they could prevent such intrusions by shutting down Pennsylvania Avenue to pedestrians. The section of the thoroughfare in front of the White House was closed to … Read more

Democrat Mary Burke – A “Deep Thinker” In Shallow Waters

http://wisconsindailyindependent.com/mary-burke-being-accused-of-plagiarizing-her-jobs-plan-sunday-comic/Democrat Mary Burke has been running hard for Governor of Wisconsin on “her” jobs plan.  It has more pages than Scott Walker’s plan.   This means he’s not as deep a thinker as she is.  As the deeper thinker she makes a better candidate for governor.  Democrats will tell you- That’s a fact!

I’ve read through a lot of economic development plans in putting together this plan and none of them were four pages long. We’re talking about a state’s economy, we’re talking about our future and it deserves some serious thinking and some real detail and some real plans. So, yes and setting goals, making sure you have plans to achieve those goals, and that you have the benchmarks for knowing if you’re on track.

The fact that she did none of the thinking on her jobs plan somehow seems relevant to her own argument about her qualifications for governor, don’t you think? (As does the fact that Scott Walker’s 4 pages….actually worked.)

From Dan McLaughlin at Red State.

“…when a politician publishes a campaign website, you should not really be surprised to find material prepared by consultants who re-use the same stuff. A lot of Kaczynski’s articles in this vein are amusing but not really all that consequential. But here’s the thing:

Jeanne Shaheen’s Dirty Green Money?

sierra-club-logoJeanne Shaheen is a beneficiary of money flowing from the Sierra Club, but Sierra has recently come under scrutiny for some of its fundraising tactics, including commercial arrangements that financially benefited their leadership and also resulted in Sierra Club profits for which no taxes were ever paid.

We know how ‘concerned’ senator Shaheen is about how non-profits use their money.  Is she equally concerned about how they acquire it and when they should pay taxes?

Regarding its failure to pay taxes on unrelated business income, the Sierra Club sends its members into communities to sell the products of a selected local solar panel company in Maryland, Utah and dozens of other states in exchange for contributions to the group. In Maryland, for example, the Sierra Club makes a $750 profit from every sale and has never paid taxes on that commercial enterprise.

OFA Arrogance With a Touch Of Highway Robbery

The Obama Store ( a website that unlike the Obamacare site works quite well) is having a 40% off sale.  If only they’d try that with the Federal budget we’d be getting somewhere… Showcased front page items include an ‘Organizer in Training’ onesie for $17.50. Shouldn’t that read “Lucky to be alive?” Or how about, “Thanks … Read more

Al Gore – Being Wrong About Everything Makes it So Right

Democrats continue to cling to their global warming scheme despite none of their models being anywhere near correct, and not one of their cataclysmic predictions coming true.  Case in point.
