Wanda Sykes/Barak Obama

Yes, conservative media are predictably piling on Wanda Sykes for her witless, mean-spirited hope that Rush Limbaugh would die of kidney failure. I couldn't agree with the conservative commentators more. But let's not forget for one moment that Barak Obama sat just to her right, right where the camera could catch him laughing at the very unfunny joke. And all his spokesman could comment on today was not his boss or Sykes but on the inappropriateness trying to make funnies out of 911. (I agree of course, but that wasn't the point.)

It is true that Rush can be merciless when he has somebody (who he considers to be a fool) in his sites. But he has never, ever wished a miserable death upon anyone, let alone laughed about it.

From Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online: Syke's schtick was a cliche wrapped in a lefty talking point.

The "dangerous" far right

The Notional Dangers of the Fictional Far Right by Bruce Walker for the American Thinker

The word notional was new to me so I looked it up. Some synonyms would be theoretical, speculative, imaginary, fanciful.

This article outlines 10 precepts of conservatism and asks the reader to judge just how dangerous they are. His thesis is that conservatism is exactly the opposite of the accusations that are mindlessly thrown at it.

A great line from Mark Steyn

A fabulous line from Mark Steyn:

Meanwhile, over at the other tent (the left) they celebrate diversity with a ruthless single mindedness.

Nancy Pelosi caught in lies regarding enhanced interrogations.

The betrayal of its purposes by the mainstream media.

A short post about the obvious prostitution and demise--not of the Republican party--but of the mainstream media who so obviously have exchanged reporting the news for manipulating it for their leftist agenda.

I like Ann Coulter!

A glimpse into one of the greatest minds and wits on the right. The left despise her, which means, like Rush, she is effective. Outrageous, yes. Funny, yes! I have learned a great deal by reading her.
