From 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM please turn ON all of your lights as a counter-protest to these environmentalist wackos who want us to live like its 1499. Every effing light and television set in my house will be on.

The Great One, Mark Levin, at last night's 2009 Media Research Center Gala and DisHonors Award presenting the "Half-Baked Alaska Award for Pummeling Palin."

Beginning with the settlers in Cuba who came in with the second wave of colonizers, the musical life in Cuba was always rich. Cuba, as the colonizers discovered, was populated by three Indian tribes—the Siboney, the Taino, and the Guanatabey. The first hundred years of Spanish rule on the island resulted in these populations being [...]

Let's see where we stand today on the following issue:

A survey of Americans' well-being, conducted by Gallup in partnership with Healthways and America's Health Insurance Plans finds that Utah ranks on top of the list. With the type of scenery you get out there, the peace and quiet, I can see why it's up there.....
Interestingly enough, Utah is one of the [...]

As a response of sorts to Alberto's post below, the Herald's Andres Oppenheimer offers his own view of the shakeup at the top of the regime:
My opinion: My humble guess is that what happened last week is a combination of the second and third theories. Fidel Castro's article stating that Pérez Roque and Lage had [...]

This Politico article totally takes Rush Limbaugh's side in the Michael Steele/Limbaugh "battle".
(Michael) Steele’s job is really not that difficult. Being a party chairman is not what it used to be. Steele’s job is to raise money and go on TV every now and then and not screw things up too badly.
He has failed at [...]

So here we have this RINO, this pretend conservative writing for a pretend newspaper saying today that he's shocked -- shocked! -- that Obama is a leftist:
So programs are piled on top of each other and we wind up with a gargantuan $3.6 trillion budget. We end up with deficits that, when considered realistically, are [...]

While the media and many politicians in this country (Democrats and Republicans alike) clamor for a complete reversal of the US's policy towards Cuba's dictatorial regime, the difference in how the opposing camps view Cuba's current condition becomes more and more obvious. To many who propose a dialogue and the normalization of relations between the [...]

Early photos are in, a sampling:

Get a load of this: Iran is now saying that unless Hollywood -- and I think they mean the visiting dignitaries in the story below -- apologizes for the way in which it has portrayed Iran, it will not grant Iranian filmmakers the right to meet with them.
The art advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged [...]

I bought a used near mint condition Nissan Pathfinder about three years ago for a great price. Never gave me any trouble except for three weeks ago when it just refused to start. As the saying goes, when it rains it pours.
And believe me, it's been monsooning lately at the Prieto household. Not [...]

Mayor drops plan to pay home buyers' credit bills:
Mayor Bill White this afternoon announced that a plan for the city to pay off some debts for first-time home buyers has been pulled from tomorrow's City Council agenda.
Council members are now professing their "embarrassment" about the proposal, which has hit the national news circuit, including drudgereport.com., [...]

The readers of this blog know where I stand on taxes. But the taxes that piss me off the most are the so-called "sin taxes" imposed on legal products that the liberal ruling elites (a/k/a collectivist assholes) have decided are bad for you. Since they are bad for you, you, being an idiot and a [...]

Every day I run into someone who’s been disillusioned and has withdrawn their support for the Cuban process.
