Bobby Rush proves that big D after his name stands for “deliberately dense dipwad”, when he decides to strike the radical pose… and in the meantime ensure his reelection in 2012.  According to Rep. Gregg Harper (R) — Rush was violating the rule against wearing hats.

“The chair will ask the Sargent of Arms to enforce the prohibition on decorum,” said Harper, acting as speaker. “Members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor.”

You can fast-forward to 2:35 for the unveiling.

Rush insisted that just because someone wears a hoodie that doesn’t make them a hoodlum.  (Has anyone pointed out the similarities in these two words to Congressman Rush (Big D)?

Fox & Friends spoke to a passenger from the JetBlue flight that had the pilot freaking out.  Don Davis was seated in the 4th row and was one of the first to notice the captain’s strange behavior. 

(TheSun)…A PILOT was wrestled to the floor by passengers yesterday — after running around a packed jet shouting: “We’re all going down — say your prayers.”   (more…)

The New Black Panthers think they’re above the law.  Why?  Because of one man…Eric Holder.  If this stuff isn’t met with resistance, what person or group will be next on their list?  Putting bounties on citizens heads, as well as soliciting kidnapping while traveling over state lines is a felony in Florida.  So, where’s the Florida Attorney General?

Whoa!  I’m going to have consult with my personal barista, Ms. Zophiel.  

(DailyMail)…Have you ever wondered how Starbucks makes their Strawberry Frappuccinos look so vibrantly pink?  The pink hue is thanks to crushed up insects, according to new information provided by the coffee chain giant. If this fact doesn’t bother you and you are still a number one fan feel free to get a £5 off voucher code here.
In a statement released by Starbucks, the company has revealed that they use cochineal extract, which is the ground-up bodies of insects, as a dye for the popular rose-coloured beverage.  Bugs from mainly Mexico and South America are dried out before they are ground and used in the milky-based Frappuccino drink.

What does a self-aggrandizing old RINO do after he’s been put out to pasture?  If you’re Arlen Specter, you launch an ill-advised comedy career loosely based on anecdotes about government dysfunction and Viagra jokes, then write a memoir titled,  “Life Among Cannibals”.  The problem with this new book is, it sounds less like the memories of a distinguished ex-senator, and more like the gross ramblings of a 12 year old boy.  (Why do the dull and boring ones always turn out to be the biggest freaks?)   (more…)

Whoever chooses to merely dismiss the significance of today’s exchange between our President and Russia’s President should have their intelligence and patriotism questioned. Let this exchange be a warning to voters: President Obama will have “more flexibility” to weaken us if he’s re-elected in November. He was caught speaking candidly to Russian President Dmitri  Medvedev  before a “hot mic” today (and surely one must believe he didn’t know the mics were still on; surely he’s not so audacious as to purposefully broadcast his intentions), as reported by ABC’s Jake Tapper. Here’s the exchange:  (more…)

There is a new street art poster that’s being emailed around and will no doubt eventually be spotted on a street corner near you. It’s a gritty black and white image of Andrew Breitbart looking both battle-worn and ever vigilant with the caption: “BREITBART IS HERE.”

Those three words express the instant connection many of us feel for our fallen friend. They express our identification with him, and our need to continue his fight for the good of our republic.  (more…)

Among many things, Michelle discusses Obama’s signing of a new bill this week that effectively outlaws protests anywhere the Secret Service goes.  The bill,  HR-347: “Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011”, in essence establishes an ‘anti-free speech bubble’ around the president wherever he goes.  This was done to send a message to both sides…both Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party will be affected.  BTW…both parties sponsored and endorsed this bill.  Only two Republicans and Ron Paul voted against it.  It was a great republic…while it lasted.

I doubt if folks here have too much difficulty spotting the “liberal” in the room.  But for anyone you know who still might have some lingering doubts, have them check  #YouMightBeALiberal   for some obvious things to look for.

Mark responds to Ann Coulter’s latest verbal attack against Sarah Palin made while giving a speech to a small Republican Party gathering.   Ann seems really worked up over the possibility of a brokered convention, and even more worked up over the fact she thinks Sarah Palin is “interfering in GOP politics” by supporting one.
