Michele Bachmann: Not Palin’s Clone
The media was forced to learn an important lesson on Monday night: not all conservative women are the same. Prior to the Republican debate on Monday, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was some lesser-known clone of Palin: Brown hair, large family, good looks, conservative, nasal accents… They treated her the same way because of some ridiculous tech [...]
Calling All the Conservative Girls in DC
If you’re in DC this summer, don’t miss this opportunity for young (and young at heart) conservative women. On Friday, June 24, the Network of enlightened Women will hold their annual conference at the Heritage Foundation. This one-day event will feature Kate O’Beirne, author of Women Who Made the World Worse, and other opportunities to [...]
Feminists Continue to Turn Blind Eye on Weiner’s Lewd Behavior
The Twitter scandal of Anthony Weiner, aka “Weinergate” took a bizarre turn today that even political satire writers could have imagined. This morning, Big Government, part of the Breitbart family of websites, released two photos that were allegedly of Weiner and proved that he had engaged in sexually inappropriate online activities with a number of [...]
Weiner Makes Lewd Comments to Female Reporter, But It’s Ok Since He’s Liberal
If you’ve followed the ordeal of Rep. Anthony Weiner and his recent Twitter issues, the story seems to get more bizarre by the day. Regardless of what you think happened, on Wednesday a rather sexist dialogue occurred in the U.S. Capitol between Rep. Weiner and Emily Miller, a senior editor at the Washington Times. Until [...]
Coming to TN in 2014: The Abortion Debate
On Friday, the Tennessee House voted to put an amendment regarding abortion on the ballot for 2014. Per the Chattanooga Times-Free Press: The vote was 76-18 to approve Senate Joint Resolution 127, which is intended to nullify a 2000 Tennessee Supreme Court ruling and give state lawmakers the ability to impose some restrictions on abortions [...]

Why are profits evil?
Earlier this winter, I was walking through the movie theater at Potomac Yard on my way to church. I happened to glance up and noticed the movie poster for the re-make of Arthur. Can you guess what bothered me? The tagline, “The world’s only lovable billionare” sends the subconscious message that all billionaires are unlovable [...]
Read MoreThe Path to Prosperity
If you know any conservatives, chances are they are giddy today over Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan for FY 2012, aptly named The Path to Prosperity. Late last night, I nearly swooned while reading Ryan’s Wall Street Journal op-ed. Budget cuts. Fiscal restraint. Reducing spending. Those are the real signs of hope and change. True [...]
Read MoreDoes Freedom + Capitalism=Good Health?
What signifies good health? Thru Twitter, I watched this BBC Joy of Stats video on the improvement of global health over the past 200 years. Based on improved life expectancy and increased personal income, the video shows how health improved around the world since 1810. While I love nerdy infographics, this video only hints at [...]
Read MoreNot that I’m Always Right or Anything…
Several months ago, I wrote a post explaining that Cash for Clunkers had destroyed the used car market. Later, I had a long twitter debate with well-known Democratic blogger in Tennessee, who swore up and down that Cash for Clunkers had worked. He had a similar debate with another Tennessee conservative this week on Twitter. [...]

President Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” This chart is a graphic representation of that quote. Click here to download the full-size. It’s even scarier. (PDF) This is an official update of the chart from last summer from Rep. [...]
Read MoreHow Bad is the Economy?
Growing up, my parents told me awful stories about the economy in the early 1980s. My dad was finishing graduate school and worked part-time at a grocery store. Inflation was out-of-control, and he spent his days constantly re-pricing items. (This was long before scanners.) When I struggled to find a job after I graduated from [...]
Read MoreWhat the Gulf Needs…Paid Volunteers
Right now, as oil fills the Gulf of Mexico, what do the people along the coast need? A President who doesn’t wait two months to accept international aid? Answers to the urgent pleas of Governors Jindal and Barbour? An administration that doesn’t punish companies actually following the laws and proper procedures by continually attempting to [...]
Read MoreCash for Clunker’s Used Car Effect
Hot Air has an interesting post about the Cash for Clunkers Keynesian economics test that Speaker Pelosi and other Democrats decided to thrust upon Americans last year. It did nothing. Let me clarify that. It did nothing in the new car market. Ed Morrissey didn’t cover the effect it had on the used car market. [...]
Read MoreRude Corker Staffer ID’d
Earlier today, Big Government posted this video of a staffer for Senator Bob Corker dissing tea party folks and citizen journalists. The arrogance and condescension are astounding. No staffer should be openly rude to constituents. Even after the videographer tells him that the video is going up on YouTube, the staffer replies, “A lot of [...]
