Ezra Klein is a dope

Wanna see a progressive up close and personal? Check this dope out. Ezra Klein is his name. How old are you, sonny? 12? Here’s a towel, dry yourself off behind your ears. You know what I find amusing? That people actually take this assclown seriously. And MSNBC actually thinks enough of him to put him on as a contributor like he’s some sort of expert or something. Unbelievable! This...

Asinine item of the day

Finally, someone answers the burning question of what Lorena Bobbit has been up to Lorena Bobbitt – now Lorena Gallo – appeared on CNN’s “Where Are Thy Now?” this morning to give viewers a rather oddly timed update about what she’s been up to lately (nothing, after all, says “Happy Holidays” quite like a Bobbitt interview). Gallo, you may recall, was ushered into the annals of weird news history...

Is there anybody still retarded enough to believe in global warming/climate change? The Earth is warming, the polar ice caps will be gone in 2013, the oceans are rising, you all heard the nonsense for about 20 years. Some of you were actually dumb enough to believe it. And some retards still do. Believe it or not, there really are junk scientists that are claiming the cold the world has been...

The morning sun starts coming earlier in January, but even it can’t upstage Venus. The grande dame of planets opens the second decade of our young century with a dazzling display in the eastern predawn sky. Revelers who stay up into the wee hours on the 1st - or any day in January, for that matter - will have no trouble spotting it. As the month goes by, S-shaped Scorpius rears above ...

Lake officials stressing ice safety

With a wide range of winter activities starting soon on Lake Minnetonka, the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) is looking for the public’s assistance to ensure that the activities are performed safely.

Obama does it again

Obama bypasses the Senate to appoint an ambassador to the terrorist state of Syria. This guy is something else. Either he’s sympathetic to these rogue regimes, or he’s an absolute fool when it comes to foreign policy. I think it’s both. Once again, Barry Obama makes Jimmy Carter look competent. WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama has bypassed the US Senate and directly...

Union slow down cause of slow snow clean-up in NYC

Hey! Didn’t the unions help install Barack Obama? Big labor is big business, did you know that? Larger than a lot of corporations. They’re also in bed with the Communist Party, the Socialist Party, and all sorts of other fanatical left-wing loons. The 10-10 Rally showed us that. Wow!
