SCOZZAFAVA SUSPENDS 23RD CAMPAIGN →
Dede Scozzafava, the Republican and Independence parties candidate, announced Saturday that she is suspending her campaign for the 23rd Congressional District and releasing all her supporters.
The state Assemblywoman has not thrown her support to either Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate, or Bill Owens, the Democratic candidate.
This is huge. Scozzafava was ahead in the polls and...

Do I need YouTube to show me what racism looks like? No, my face and my accent have been enough to show me that.

New camera promises to capture your whole life →
A camera you can wear as a pendant to record every moment of your life will soon be launched by a UK-based firm.
Originally invented to help jog the memories of people with Alzheimer’s disease, it might one day be used by consumers to create “lifelogs” that archive their entire lives.
Worn on a cord around the neck, the camera takes pictures automatically as often as once...
AP: 2009 federal deficit surges to $1.42 trillion →
What is $1.42 trillion? It’s more than the total national debt for the first 200 years of the Republic, more than the entire economy of India, almost as much as Canada’s, and more than $4,700 for every man, woman and child in the United States.
It’s the federal budget deficit for 2009, more than three times the most red ink ever amassed in a single year.

Limbaugh’s response to the NFL bid debacle.
In which the left has cranked up Rush hysteria up...
I am perplexed and amused by the current hysteria sweeping the lefty blogosphere concerning Limbaugh’s NFL bid. Almost immediately after the bid was announced, an old and fabricated Limbaugh “quote” was reported by a number of major news networks. The “slavery had its merits” quote has been around lefty blogs for a while and debunked plenty of times. Said alleged...

Mayans: Chill, the world will not end in 2012
From the AP:
Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly “running out” on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it’s not the end of the world.
Or is it?
Definitely not, the Mayan Indian elder insists. “I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff.”
It can only get worse for...
An ingenious way to pay for ObamaCare
From Allahpundit:
Rush, The One, Van Jones, and Glenn Beck out in the Rose Garden with a case of MGD. Wire them up with lapel microphones and put it on pay-per-view for $100 a pop. Voila: ObamaCare is paid for.
Obama says he will end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
Obama hasn’t followed through with a lot of the stuff he promised us. This ridiculous policy is an easy and obvious one to terminate, and he could’ve done so very early in his presidency. It’s about time “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” becomes a thing of the past. I hope he follows through on this one.
From the AP:
President Barack Obama pledged to end the ban...
Obama wins Nobel Prize?
I woke up to the news that our President won the Nobel Peace Prize. At first, I thought it was a joke or a piece from The Onion. But, no, a man who has two wars going on, has achieved pretty much nothing during his presidency thus far, and is unable to get other countries to follow his lead is being awarded with the Peace Prize. His greatest achievement is wining an election. If there was ever a...
CNN "fact-checks" SNL's Obama skit and hilarious...
In yesterday’s Situation Room, the nincompoops over at CNN felt compelled to fact-check the hilarious SNL skit where the President’s achievements so far are listed: none. I don’t quite remember CNN doing the same for the numerous skits directed at Bush or Palin. Not to mention, the so-called fact-checking turns out to be pretty lame. According to their fact-checkers, we’re...

FNC's 3am Red Eye beats CNN's 8pm Campbell Brown
I’m not a regular Red Eye viewer but the few times I’ve caught the show, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. It really is a “comedy/news hybrid” as Mr. Krakauer calls it, with just the right amount of humor and sharp news analysis. I’m tempted to call it the right’s equivalent of The Daily Show but I’m not quite sure the two are comparable.
CNN has been in...
WatchObama has nothing to show for in his first year as President, and this makes for comedy gold. This SNL clip proves that. Hilarious!
