Oh, I Get It

I’ve been thinking about Glenn Beck lately. I try not to. So, what if we are all wrong about this guy. I mean, he’s getting progressively (word chosen on purpose) further into bat guano territory with each broadcast. You think maybe he’s pulling one over on all of us? Think about it: long after he’s [...]

Gosar to Voters: You’re Morons

The Arizona Democratic Party is slamming Paul Gosar for his criticism of the 17th Amendment. Here he is, as quoted by them, at an event with Hugh Hewitt: There’s an unintended consequence when you change this document (holds up a copy of the Constitution).

Um…Yeah.

Needs no explanation.

Cleon Skousen. If [...]

There’s An Ethnic Group You Can Cross Off Right There, Barack!

I must say as someone of mixed Polish and Mexican heritage that the selection of beverages at today’s “beer summit” is offensive to me. What, no Tecate? No Żywiec? No Dos Equis? No Okocim? Where is Glenn Beck to speak out on this? Surely this slap against those of us of Slavo-Hispanic heritage is another [...]
