Teabag Congressman and Black Americans
Seems that Congressman Doug Lamborn (Teabag – CO) has a new pet name for President Obama. I wonder why he just didn’t use the N-word or call him boy.
From the Denver Post:
A short clip of the Colorado Springs Republican speaking about the debt ceiling debate during a talk radio program on Friday went viral.
“Even [...]
“Wonder why many minorities have problems with GOP?”

Katie Takes it to Glenn
You know how when you turn a light on in dank dark room and the roaches squirm to find a place to hide… well this is one of those moments… but there is nowhere to hide this time. Watch today’s “Father Coughlin” wriggle like the slime he is.

Serious Presidential Contender Haley Barbour
Haley Barbour is one of those politicians who is inexplicably popular with press. Despite his many years as a DC lobbyist, his 2 terms as governor of the state of Mississippi make him an automatic GOP contender. He really stepped in it this weekend when he did an interview with the Weekly Standard and said segregation wasn’t that bad and praised the Citizen’s Council as helping with integration.

The International House Of Dating
The Pandora household has hit a milestone. Both of my teenagers are dating. My 16 year old son has been dating his girlfriend since last March, and my 13 year old daughter got a “boyfriend” last month. In both cases, dating seems to mean a lot of texting and teen skate on Friday nights – [...]

Monday’s Asshat of the Day
As you may have heard, Carl Paladino (he of the imprisoning the homeless so we can teach them hygiene) told a group of Orthodox Jews that homosexuals “brainwash” children. So, in honor of National Coming Out Day, our winner today is David Barton.
No, not that David Barton (the gay-friendly gym owner), but this David [...]

Mullins says border security came up during [...]
Arizona Proves What We All Knew…

Mr. Paladino, 63, delivered a Palinesque populist message to a boisterous group of about 1,000 flag-waving supporters here, denouncing what he said was the government’s [...]
At Least He’s Consistent
I’m not sure why National Review’s John Derbyshire doesn’t get more attention from the blogosphere. He’s not as prominent as other conservatives but he is a fountain of misinformed cultural commentary. We talked about Derbyshire once before when he released a book and included a chapter about how women’s suffrage should be repealed. [...]
