I am—drum roll, please, cue trumpets—making this announcement in the cyberpages of The Daily Beast (what joy to be writing for a publication so named!) rather than in the pages of National Review, where I write the back-page column. For a reason: My colleague, the superb and very dishy Kathleen Parker, recently wrote in National Review Online a column stating what John Cleese as Basil Fawlty would call “the bleeding obvious”: namely, that Sarah Palin is an embarrassment, and a dangerous one at that. She’s not exactly alone. New York Times columnist David Brooks, who began his career at NR, just called Governor Palin “a cancer on the Republican Party.” As for Kathleen, she has to date received 12,000 (quite literally) foam-at-the-mouth hate-emails. One correspondent, if that’s quite the right word, suggested that Kathleen’s mother should have aborted her and tossed the fetus into a Dumpster. There’s Socratic dialogue for you. Dear Pup once said t...

A reader wrote in with this request: My family attended the Obama Rally at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. My 12yr. old son pressed through the crowd until he reached President Obama. They shook hands and chatted a few minutes. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a photo of this life-changing event.

The clean energy transition represents a tectonic shift in the global economy, promising every bit as much economic opportunity as the industrial and information revolutions. By leading this change, we can attract good green jobs, pump our energy dollars into our local economy, and build a sustainable prosperity for our kids.——————————————As President Obama and Sen.

Pamela Anderson Pide que Legalicen la Marihuana

Pamela Anderson ha decidido proponer nuevas ideas para que Barack Obama las tenga en cuenta (¿pero ella no era canadiense?). Entre las ideas de la rubia oxigenada destaca el hecho de que la marihuana no sólo debería ser legal, sino cultivada en EE.UU.: daría muchos trabajos y, además, ayudaría al medio ambiente… ¡Qué fuerte, entonces no piensa fumársela, con tal de ayudar al medio ambiente! Quiero decir, no está mal sacar el tema a la palestra y tratar de evolucionar un ... more

In a new series, which I just decided to start today called “Idiocracy Watch,” I plan to chronicle stories that expose the fact that the U.S. of A. is still a nation of stupid people who blend anti-intellectualism with racism to create ignorance and intolerance. Today’s entry comes via Editor & Publisher , which has, since the election, been tracking stories of hate and bigotry related to our country having somehow elected a black man to the presidency. Here are some l... more
C.A.I.R. Announces Poll That 89 Percent Of American Muslims Voted For Obama, 2 Percent For McCain

I think Holger Awakens says it all.  Did you get that? Only 2 percent of all muslims in America voted for John McCain - guess my vote for McCain was just justified once more! This poll is published over at C.A.I.R.’s website, which I refuse to link to here at Holger Awakens, so I will post the entire article at the bottom of this thread. But here’s a bit of the data: The American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections (AMT) today released the results of a poll indicat... more

Things are changing in Washington and we have reason to hope that the next four years will look much different and better than the last eight. As we look forward to a new era in Washington, there is still one piece of unfinished... more

As a side note, the howobamagotelected.com site I sent you earlier made it to O’Reilly tonight, and apparently, left wing web sites are furious.  What, that people now know how stupid they are?   The Zogby poll actually backs up the results of these interviews as true, that the poll subjects knew more about the negative of the GOP than anything at all about the Dumbocraps.  Did you hear when... more
