I caught the last few minutes of the debate between president George W Bush and Senator John Kerry and it looked like I had expected it to: Bush on the ropes from sheer exhaustion after doing something for more than 45 minutes straight. I don’t understand how his advisors could agree to 90-minute debates. Not [...]

Sofia Nerbrand tänker till om det amerikanska presidentvalet: Det är i stort sett bara Per Ahlmark som nyligen dristat sig till att häda i en DN-kolumn: Han skulle – om han vore amerikansk medborgare – rösta för den sittande presidenten. Om jag hade varit amerikan skulle jag inte ha lagt min röst på budgetunderskott och [...]

Awsome tidbit in today’s police blotter in the Boston Herald: It was quite a bash at 45 Selkirk St. Friday night, but the antics of some 100 toga-clad partygoers got 10 underage female hosts arrested and resulted in the seizure of four kegs of beer. It seems the 10 ladies were charging admission to the [...]

Conservatives of the immigration-restrictionist persuasion have long warned president George W Bush about the political risks – never mind the security ones – of allowing the border to Mexico to remain open to illegal aliens. We have seen many a signs that our Arab-Muslim enemies have attempted to penetrate our borders to recruit terrorists and [...]

Bill O’Reilly’s interview with president George W. Bush once again confirmed that the president simply doesn’t care about guarding the border. The reason is obvious: Corporate America likes its labor cheap, and illegal alien Mexicans are just that. So the president trotted out his old lame-o “family values don’t stop at the border” mantra. Neither [...]

Latino supremacist writer Gregory Rodriguez is mad at the “Pouty White People“, the white Anglo Californians who are mostly downbeat about the Golden State’s prospects. 57% of the Anglos believe California is going to be a worse place to live in 20 years from now, according to a recent poll from Public Policy Institute of [...]

Kul är han: “Man har redan lyckats få republikanska politiker att göra det olagligt att använda lokala skattenmedel för att bygga ut bredband…Står det om bredband i bibeln kanske? I så fall, varför behöver USA en sådan nymodighet?” “Biblioteken här i USA har blivit vad kyrkorna var i DDR före murens fall. ” “Det finns [...]

Slowly but surely more and more Republicans are coming to understand what perhaps even George W Bush and Karl Rove know: They are never going to reap a plurality of the Hispanic vote. National Review’s editor Rich Lowry is the latest right-wing scribe to realize what conservative provocateur Steve Sailer has been arguing for years, [...]

Global staffing giant Manpower released its employment outlook survey for the fourth quarter on September 14th. Its prediction: More sluggish job growth. Ouch. According to manpower’s survey, 28% of U.S. employers plan to increase hiring while 7% are planning on trimming their payrolls. The net employment outlook, percentage of employers hiring minus the percentage of [...]

Den flitige libertanske bloggaren Dick Erixon har en tendens att ägna mer uppmärksamhet åt var en artikel publiceras än åt vem som skrivit den. Ett skönt exempel är hur han den 23:e september skrev: “New York Metro menar att kvinnorna runt president Bush vinner valet åt honom.” Med “New York Metro” menar Erixon, måhända omedvetet, [...]
