Here are the facts. Racism has been rising steadily over the last few months. In recent polls, President Obama’s job approval number has dropped from 70% to 50%. This means the percentage of racists in this country has risen from 30% to 50% – a 67% increase in only eight months! Even more alarming, close to one out of two Americans are now racist. We have reached a tipping point. If this trend continues, the racists will soon be in a majority. Now, more than ever, we need the pundits and sages of the mainstream media to speak out.

Whichever one of the Ten Commandments tells us not to bow down to idols, that’s the one we’ve been breaking with all the Abraham Lincoln worship lately.
There’s no way he was even half as popular amongst Northerners back in the 1860s (I still bump into Civil War kooks down South who HATE Lincoln more than [...]

More from ABC:
In the Entertainment Weekly cover story, Stewart says the power of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s entry into the race is evidenced in the ability it had to sideline every other character in the election. Stewart calls the press covering it “six-year-olds playing soccer.”
“It has cast the first African-American presidential nominee, the oldest [non-incumbent] [...]

Via email, Eugene McCain (no relation) has this to say in response to posts by Alan and mw…

But……
1. The Truth is that a large number (10%, 20%, 30%…. pick [...]

Yesterday, Chuck Norris appeared with Mike Huckabee at Clemson University. It reminded me why YOU DONT F*CK WITH CHUCK!

Obama has Oprah, Edwards has Tim Robbins, Fred Thompson has The National Right To Life Committee… but Huckabee has Chuck Norris.
God help us all.

Some might think that 65% of country joined shoulder to shoulder, arms locked in solidarity disapproving of how the president is doing his job qualifies as uniting the country. While this may be close enough for some, it is not enough for this President.

A Minnesota-based blogger is suing another blogger in a case that could have larger implications for bloggers as a whole.
It all started with a phone call to Aaron Clarey, informing him that he’d been branded a racist.
Clarey, a Minneapolis economist, blogger and radio host, traced the accusation to a physics laboratory in California. There, a [...]

Things are getting bad for President Bush. Even Peggy Noonan seems to be having her doubts. For the uninitiated, Peggy Noonan’s spent the last six years responding to every Bush appearance by rolling over, waving her paws in the air and wetting herself in an orgy of submissiveness.
He is talking a lot lately, out there [...]

I think it’s time for a little perspective and a reality check. Perhaps the most important midterm election in modern history is little more than three months away and as I watch the Lieberman vs. Lamont race, I have to shake my head at the energy being invested by Democrats to defeat another Democrat. With [...]

Heh.

The Onion reports that Senator Allen from Virginia thought he was making a joke when he introduced this bill.
S. 1718, also known as the Preservation Of Public Lands Of America Act, authorized a shift of $138 billion from the federal Medicare fund to a massive landscaping effort that, over the next five years, will transform [...]

The Religious Policeman is funny enough to do stand-up. You’re not reading him? You don’t know what you’re missing. He casts a glittering eye on his native Saudi Arabia, which presents a fat target for his sense of humor. When he’s not funny, he tells stories that can be outright tragic. But when he’s doing [...]

This chilling report warns of the turmoil we may face when daylight savings time is extended. Apparently it will be a huge inconvenience for dumb people:
NEW YORK – When daylight-saving time starts earlier than usual in the United States come 2007, your VCR or DVD recorder could start recording shows an hour late.

Yes, I sent Joe to Niger. No, I am not so stupid I thought he would actually learn anything. I just needed a break.
Ever since his last assignment, he had been sitting around the house in his navy blazer and grey slacks, watching home improvement shows and infomercials, and working on his pocket square collection, [...]
