Democrats growing weary of town halls

Oh, remember the good old days, when Democrats gathered in public places and hurled venom at George W. Bush and his cabal. They are long gone for Democrats, who are increasingly canceling town hall meetings due to invasions by tea-party types and those upset with health care and spending.

Screaming constituents, protesters dragged out by [...]

You stay classy, Gates family

Elizabeth Gates is the daughter of now infamous Henry Gates, that seer of racial hegemony. The Gates offspring is a graduate of The New School for Social Research. I add that, because I once sent a query to the New School about possibly attending, though I was living in BFE, Ohio, just to see if [...]

Yeah, I actually had to help cover this guy …

Wannabe career politician Ben Konop, who is traversing the state of Ohio in all manners trying to find locations that will actually vote him into office, gets an audience he deserves.

George Lucas — Legend Debunked

This is what happens when ESPN Page 2′s Patrick Hruby leaves his politics at the door — awesome stuff!

The only good Ewok is a dead Ewok.

DE-GENIUS ADDENDUM George Lucas As writers, sometimes we botch facts. Sometimes, we make typos. Sometimes, we flat-out drop the ball. Such was the case [...]

Cocktails Are Conservative

Here is a great story from The Weekly Standard (its cover story) on the resurgence of the cocktail – and not the sugary concoctions that pass for cocktails — the liberal versions.

The cocktail is a lovely simple thing: a mixture of spirits and flavorings that whets the appetite, pleases the eye, and stimulates the [...]

David Ortiz… tested positive for ‘roids in 2003. Hmmmm…. when did Ortiz begin his home run tear? Why…. it was 2003. The Oritz, Ramirez …..Red Sox are now the Black Sox Redux — cheaters — right Mike?

Bonnie and Clyde: Great film — Cultural Rot

I found this article by Stephen Hunter at Commentary Magazine on the real Bonnie and Clyde vs. the film versions and the larger cultural ramifications of their glorification…. Here’s a couple of different tastes, but go read the whole thing here.

The squalid ambush that ended their careers in 1934 disappeared down the collective [...]

Chris Dodd Investigated by Senate Ethics Committee

With Senator Chris Dodd trailing Rob Simmons, his likely opponent in the 2010 election, by 9 points in the latest Quinnipiac poll, he certainly doesn’t need any more bad news.

It’s too bad for him, then, that  the Associated Press has reported on the testimony of Robert Feinberg, who met with the Senate Ethics Committee in secret hearings.  [...]

But Who Aids the Aides?

Mark Steyn had this to say at The Corner on Tuesday:

Rep. John Conyers can’t see why lawmakers should read the laws they make. What’s the point? They wouldn’t understand ‘em anyway:

“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers.

“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand [...]

Tort reform mysteriously an afterthought

An absolute keystone in fixing health care is tort reform. Republicans have pushed this for years, to little success, due to most politicians happen to be lawyers, who are paid exorbitantly by other lawyers to protect their own interests, all under the guise of “the little guy.”

The World Turned Upside Down

I never thought I’d ever see a headline like this one from USA Today:

"White Males Hardest Hit"

But if you read the story, the headline is only true in a certain sense.  It turns out that older white males have a lower unemployment rate than most other groups.  They are “hurt more by [...]

Straight from DVD: Watchmen

In honor of Watchmen’s release on DVD, here’s my review of the film back in March.

———————————–

Who watches the Watchmen? In some ways, the question should be who would want to.

Nihilistic beyond nihilistic, Zack Snyder’s adaption of Alan Moore’s 80s graphic novel is a visual piece of art, examining the sordid entrails [...]

Smith: Those magnificent “Basterds”

The New York Post’s Kyle Smith, friend of Threedonia, talks up Quinton Tarantino’s World War II yarn “Inglorious Basterds.” Lets hope so, this summer needs some firepower.

… blew the doors off the room in its first New York City screening yesterday. What. A. Movie.
