I really do get a kick out of the terrible grammar in evidence in a lot of comment spam. The example I gave you in The awful grammar of email and comment spam! was good, but I think we have a new winner:
Commenter “formation” said:
Thanks for making the Essay to interact this, I expect strongly over it and coitus acquisition regarding this volume. If at all behave able, since you wax skillfulness, do you fear updating your website with unscheduled assemblage? It is kind of effective ...
The Obama White House has released the latest installment of its ongoing and self-congratulatory video series, West Wing Week. But despite touting itself as “your guide to all things 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.,” the new episode seems to be missing some of the key stories that have hit the headlines over the past few days.
There’s no mention, for instance, of Benghazi or the AP phone tapping – and the IRS scandal is barely mentioned in passing.
In February, 1968, CBS’ Walter Cronkite was arguably the most trusted news person in the country. Having just returned from Vietnam, Cronkite broke from his usual practice and offered commentary in which he cast doubt on the American mission there and its chance for success.
After Cronkite’s statement, President Lyndon Johnson is reported to have said that if he had “lost Cronkite”, he had “lost Middle America.” On March 31, he announced he would not run aga...
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, D.D.S (AZ-04) issued the following statement after the recent disclosure and admission by the Internal Revenue Service that it targeted conservative organizations for special scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.
“On one hand, I am encouraged to hear that the Attorney General obtained warrants first. Score one for the Fourth Amendment. But I remain concerned about the First Amendment and the targeting of journalists. Whether th...
When Margaret Thatcher, who came to power when England had an unemployment rate of about 13% and managed to reduce it to 5.8%, passed away, a large number of Brits celebrated the occasion by singing “Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead.” They despised her not only because she rescued her nation from sinking into the abyss of European socialism, but that she did it in part by facing down the powerful coalminer’s union. And, sadly, if you saw her movie bio, “The Iron Lady,” just about the o...
Tea Party Conservatives and Occupy Wall Streeters don’t agree on much, but they do agree on one thing — both groups despise crony capitalistsand crony capitalism.
Huge corporations, especially banks, insurance companies, and other big financial institutions are nominally born of free-market capitalism where success and growth comes from providing the best services at the lowest prices. One might think that these huge corporations would therefore favor unfettered competition. And...
Once again, Judge Jeanine Pirro pulls no punches as she calls out Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Jay Carney, and Susan Rice for lying to the American people. On May 11, in under 12 minutes, the Judge reviews the facts — facts — as she excoriates them all as liars, betrayers, and hypocrites.
Says Judge Jeanine Pirro, with passion:
It’s not one fact, but each fact taken together as a connected whole, that convinces us of what the truth is. And [what is] that truth? Jay Carn...
American taxpayers who paid $50 billion to bail out General Motors will be shocked and angered to learn that GM is moving jobs and production from the United States to China.
This is an insult to injury tale of federal duplicity that gives taxpayers a slap in the face. While GM shifts its focus from the United States to China, the automaker still owes the U.S. government more than $20 billion of the nearly $50 billion it received in the bailout in 2009.
President Obama on one of his vacations to Hawaii felt like he needed some time alone so early one morning he slipped away from his quarters and the ever present secret service and took an early morning stroll on the beach, walking barefooted in the surf. A rogue wave washed up behind him and pulled him out to deep water where he was struggling to stay afloat. Two young men out surfing saw the emergency and brought him to shore.
If you run a blog or website, or if you frequent them, or if you receive email (and now I’ve described almost all of us), then you’ve seen it. One of the dead giveaways of email spam, comment spam, and spam egg sausage and spam (that’s not got much spam in it) is terrible grammar.
One that we got yesterday, though, really takes the cake:
I’m keen this unique approach. I just discovered your website for the purpose of at first chance not to mention had become a freakout. H...
Last week, in a video that has gone viral, Judge Jeanine Pirro let loose on the vile mother of the Boston jihadi brothers.
This week, at the NRA convention, the Judge is just as effective as she trashes arrogant, condescending, leftist politicians who want to disarm (for example) single mothers with small children who live in high-crime areas. These are the same politicians who have themselves cultivated those high-crime areas through lax pursuit and prosecution for murders committed with ille...
This post takes us out of the realm of current events. It also takes us into the field of sub-movements of the libertarian spectrum, a field which some readers might find somewhat abstruse. But gosh darn it, if you know anything about the players involved, the piece to which I am drawing your attention is reallyfunny. In fact, you don’t need to know all that much, really—the introduction is an instruction in and of itself.
The piece is on a very short one-act play called Mozart Was a R...
In the audio excerpts below, Jonah Goldberg and Dennis Prager have an insightful discussion on the use of clichés by the liberals, how liberals make Big Government look attractive to the electorate, and what the prospects are for reversing America’s leftward slide.
Highlights of Goldberg’s remarks:
1. With the decline of family, community, and faith, liberals promote Big Government as a seductive surrogate for all three. (Hence the pronouncement “Government is the one thing...
In this 8-minute video from April 30, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) predicts May 8 Congressional testimony on Benghazi will provide major breakthroughs in understanding what actually happened, as well as uncovering grossly negligent management of the situation and the (apparent) cover-ups that followed.
Gowdy is openly skeptical about the President’s professed ignorance of witness intimidation allegations. And he trashes the State Dept’s own investigation, opining that the investigation w...
On April 20, 2013, the Arizona Project sponsored a one-day round trip from the Phoenix area to the Mexican border. Ron Ludders, Chairman of Arizona Project, was the trip leader and guide.
The first stop on the trip was a drug drop-point less than 8 miles southwest of Casa Grande (Latitude 32.8229 degs, Longitude -111.8605 degs) and approximately 80 miles north of the Mexican border.
In the 7-minute video below, Ludders walks the desert alongside a wooded area where “mules” have dro...
Or, Gadzooks, This Giant Sequester-Monster Is Going to Devour Us All!
Back in 1997, I was a youngish, single man living in Los Angeles—working in the entertainment industry and living in a studio apartment in the Virgil District. I had arrived in LA a few months earlier, just in time for — *insert scary music here* – EL NIÑO.
It was certainly a rainy year as a result of El Niño—unusually so, as I later learned. You see, to me, having not lived in Los Angeles before, it was ju...
If you’re involved with or pay attention to politics at all, you’ve heard this left-wing trope: America is to blame for all the woes of the world. Anything bad happens anywhere else in the world, and it’s somehow our fault. Anything bad is done to us, and it’s somehow our fault. The “blame America first” mentality is a signature feature flaw across the spectrum of the left. The reasons for it are complex, but it essentially involves an oikophobic anger at the...
Mawkishly liberal Bill Maher is suddenly showing signs of intelligent life. Consider first this video clip in which he crushes liberal automaton Barry Levin over differences between Islam and other faiths. Gasping and grasping, Levin invokes “Pam Geller” and “Islamophobia”, two standard liberal incantations meant to support the liberal party line on moral relativism and non-judgmentalism. Maher, as a self-declared “truth lover”, doesn’t stand for it.
