Ouch. Now, I’m actually a fan of Jon Stewart (I am part of his target audience after all), but Jay Carney’s seemingly offhand comment that Obama’s toughest interview of 2012 was on the Daily Show—that is just shameful. Every reporter and journalist from the traditional mainstream news should just be crying right now. How absolutely […]

The Tennessee Senate passed a bill that would make bus rapid transit systems illegal in basically the only places in Tennessee where they are being proposed, including Nashville. It has recently come to light that the Tennessee branch of Americans for Prosperity (founded and funded […]
Continue reading →The most effective parasites make you feel bad for not giving them more. They convince you that they are taking less than they deserve. For years, bleeding heart leftists have been those kinds of parasites. They pretend to be Robin Hoods, but there are crucial differences. For one, they exempt themselves from the charitable giving. […]

Jobs grew by a whopping 4.97 percent in his first term (not a war term, by the way—those are peace time numbers). That’s right—it was FDR, the greatest socialist president in American history, just barely ahead of Barack […]

But apparently, it doesn’t matter to his supporters what he does. A tip for big corporations jockeying for favors from Obama’s DoJ: Make sure you donate heavily to the Democratic Party and/or Obama favorites. […]

In fact, statistics from 2011 and 2012 indicate that there are more people on food stamps than there are women working full-time jobs. […]

I remember very distinctly the attitude on the Georgia Tech campus toward the environmental […]

Let me tell you a story from Utah about a woman named Megan Huntsman. Megan Huntsman had three children already—two teenagers and an adult. And she didn’t feel […]
Continue reading →Sometimes a story comes along that encapsulates many of our society’s problems in one convenient package. The story behind Rolling Stone magazine’s latest cover is just that. Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine from Seinfeld) looks back at the camera, covering her “tasteful” side boob with her arm, looking mildly surprised, like the reader caught her just waking […]

A body of evidence is apparently growing that taking selfies can lead to narcissism, addiction, and suicide. But it seems to me that narcissism and a tendency toward addiction and suicide would increase the likelihood of excessive selfies. In other words, the correlation […]
