Are Liberals Smarter Than Conservatives?

Of course we know the answer to that, but nevertheless Jason Richwine of the AEI has an interesting piece on the issue atThe American.

This same principle works in places where the default and iconoclastic beliefs are reversed. Japan, for example, has no tradition of monotheistic religion, but the few Japanese Christians tend [...]

Happy Halloween From the Trzuprs

Havin another bad hair day…

What’s a Saturday without a Top Five???

Sincerely hope Wankette’s cold hasn’t lingered to the point she’s fallen and she can’t get up … out of bed (or off the floor). Till she makes her glorious return, though, a little somethin’-somethin’ to potentially keep us occupied. Also in honor of the 80s kids who boo-hoo’ed about being too young to appreciate the [...]

Hoffman gets a key endorsement (BUMPED)

UPDATE FROM Floyd — Apparently Scozzafava has suspended her campaign in NY-23. Score one for the conservatives!

From Iowahawk – and for good reason.

Canuck reader Maryann Crabtree forwards this photo of the candidate posing proudly in front of his Two Lane Blacktop – worthy 1955 Chevy 210 2-door sedan. Note missing rear bumper. Note [...]

OK Threedonians…. it is of course, Halloween. What are your top 5 Halloween memories? Or in the alternative things that creep you out or scare you?

Halloween Open Thread

Saturn Devouring His Sons — from “The Black Paintings” by Francisco Goya

Noonan: We’re governed by callous children

Peggy Noonan’s latest Wall Street Journal column has made the rounds, but given how poignant it is, I felt it deserved a post. She  takes on Washington, the intelligentsia’s careless attitude and the consequences.

The biggest threat to America right now is not government spending, huge deficits, foreign ownership of our debt, world terrorism, [...]

Kenn Christenson replies to Rufus re: Bill Maher and Ants

Kenn writes:

My theory – listen up all you naturalists/nature freaks, out there – is that capitalism is natural – socialism/communism are mechanisms devised by man to subvert the natural process. Capitalism, is almost a perfect reflection of the natural word – those that hunt and gather have a greater chance of survival than [...]

Bill Maher Looks Good on Paper

Unsafe at any speed

Some of you may have heard Bill Maher’s recent statement about President Obama’s difficulties passing legislation. Mr. Maher said,

“You know, they’re talking about 60 votes they need. Forget this stuff. You can’t get Americans to agree on anything. Sixty-percent? Sixty-percent of people don’t believe in evolution in [...]

Read It? Burn It!

Frequent Threedonian Flyer David Marcoe asked us to visit Our GOP Forums, where David is one of the moderators. Since I’m all about following instructions, I did a fly-by and it is my intent to offer some comments there from time to time. However, almost the first post that I ran across was this, [...]

Landesman Gets the Big League Fisking he Deserves

It could be… It might be… It is!

Yesterday Floyd gave NEA Director Rocco Landesman an apropos and skillful dressing down based on Rocco’s comments in a recent speech.  Today Jonah Goldberg teed it up and (no offense to Floyd) knocked it into the cheap seats.  Floyd and Jonah have pretty much guaranteed Landesman will [...]

The Overnights – 30 October 2009

Another day, another Democrat leader unveils another health care plan. What do Democrat leaders do when they’re not drafting health care plans? Aside from complaining about the sorry state of their Gulfstream that is.

Researching Pelosi’s proposal (which does not involve reading it, by the by, since we know that NOBODY reads health care [...]

With all due respect to Iggy Pop …

… blah-blah-blah and exactly what is Sting smoking these days???

Very glad to have finally seen the Police a couple years ago, but that was mainly so I could witness the percussion genius of Stewart Copeland fairly up-close and personal. Sting, though? Let’s just say that while I own the majority of his solo [...]
