Romney advisor: We're going to Hack-a-Shaq Palin

Some anonymous something-something of Mitt Romney came out the other day to take a swipe at Sarah Palin.

One adviser to Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, and, by traditional standards, the putative 2012 frontrunner, says of Palin, “She’s not a serious human being.” Another Romney intimate warns, “If she’s standing up there in a debate [...]

Why Does Jesse Jackson Hate Black People?

Every time one of these so-called “black leaders” makes a statement, it always seems to be centered around belittling the sufferings that blacks have experienced throughout the majority of this country’s history.

Slavery was no joke.  Entire generations suffered and died with no hope of anything even remotely resembling a pleasant life for themselves or their [...]

The bizarre Russian Ekranoplan

I had heard of these before, but hadn’t really seen anything more than grainy b/w photos or movies of them.  Here’s a series of photos showing the strange beast known as the Ekranoplan, up close and personal.

Why is Greece in trouble?

Pulled this from Ace of Spades’ Overnight Open Thread.

We’ve giggled about Greece already here, why not do it a little more?

Here a sample of policies that led to the crash. After fifteen years of contribution, a person could retire at 110% of his salary. Retirement was possible at the youthful age of fifty. The unmarried [...]

Here's our take on the UK election results:

Who the hell cares?

The country is lost.  They’ve essentially shackled themselves to the Big Government/Big Brother ball-and-chain, regardless of party.  Idiocy is running rampant.  They’re about to make the Greeks look financially sound.

And besides, politics over there is like watching a rugby scrum of oiled-up, drunken amputees.

We need to start planning for a future where [...]

Where’s the ozone hole?

Remember way back when–oh, like the mid 80′s–when the ozone hole was growing over the South Pole and ready to expose all of humanity to cosmic, skin-burning, gene-smashing, life-sucking radiation from space?

Yeah, well don’t sweat that, I guess.

Three British scientists shocked the world when they revealed on May 16th, 1985 – 25 years ago – [...]

American students suspended for wearing American Flag in an American school in America.

I’ve always heard that trends in the country start in California and then move east.  If so, be prepared for your red-white-and-blue-wearing crumb-crunchers to be given the boot in Oklahoma schools soon.  That’ll be funny to watch.

Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal [...]

New Comedy Central show pushes the envelope

And by pushing the envelope, I mean is playing it safe.

How do you play it safe?

By making fun of Christians.  No problem there.

Get ready to enjoy some “JC”:

As part of the network’s upfront presentation to advertisers… the network is set to announce “JC,” a half-hour show about Christ wanting to escape the shadow of his “powerful [...]

Greece: Liberalism in an awesome little microcosm

Greece continues their meltdown.

Here’s the summary:

“OMG we’re brokage!”

“OMG there’s gonna be cuts!”

“OMG OMG don’t cut my stuff, dammit!”

And there you have it.

From Bloomberg:

Greece’s GDP will decline 4 percent this year and 2.6 percent next year, according to the Finance Ministry.

European Union Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said yesterday that the austerity measures Greece agreed [...]

9.7% unemployment good news? Must be a Democrat in office!

From the Hot Air link, we read that columnist Tommy Christopher sees that March jobs reports, which has unemployment holding at 9.7%, is super-duper good!

The headline:

March Jobs Report Good News for America, Bad News for GOP

All right!

Nothing like being a hair under double-digit unemployment to get those happy shivers going down your spine.
