Susan Boyle Open Thread »

UPDATE: She lost to a 10-member dance team. Videos are here.
There’s no politics in this post! Although, from all the news stories, you’d think this was a bigger story than North Korea! Even South Park is in on the frenzy of worldwide publicity over Susan Boyle, a competitor on “Britain’s Got [...]

The Fierce Urgency of Tomorrow »

(This astonishing story is bumped up from Friday late because Obama’s action is reprehensible. This story is also up again because it is a perfect intro to PatRacimora’s new cartoon about Obama and stem cell research.)
As far as I can tell, executive orders can be signed relatively quickly and easily. Certainly, it can be [...]

Let Them Eat Junk! »

(bumped up from yesterday morning, by our great NoQuarter cartoonist PatRacimora)

A Riddle: What is often poorly prepared, overloaded with unhealthful ingredients (and sometimes contaminants), costs the American taxpayer 9 billion dollars a year, and as much as half is thrown into the garbage before ever being touched?
Answer: The federally subsidized meals our kids [...]

BELOW THE FOLD, we’re re-posting PatRacimora’s superb cartoon (!) that marked the historic signing of Lilly Ledbetter’s fair pay legislation into law. But, first, here’s Paulie’s press release on this important program:
******************************************
In 1998, someone slipped a note in Lilly Ledbetter’s mailbox at the Goodyear Tire Plant in Gadsden, Alabama. It confirmed what Ledbetter [...]

Update #3: If your comment doesn’t appear, do NOT (!) retype it again. It has likely ended up, by mistake, in our spam filter. The worst thing you can do is keep typing it. I can restore ONE comment but have to erase the rest. The spam filter is supposed to “learn” [...]

[PatRacimora Cartoon Update!] Finally! Lily Ledbetter sees her fight signed into law! »

[Hillary's Statement & Update!] Will President Obama Keep His Promise to Women? »

(PatRacimora bumped this up from January 22nd to 23rd, after she updated her post with President Obama’s rescission of the Global Gag Order. I visited State’s “What’s New” page and happened to discover a Friday, January 23rd announcement by Secretary Hillary Clinton Friday on the gag order, published in full below the fold - Susan)

UPDATE: [...]

This ‘Toon Says It All * Open Thread »

Special thanks to Catlibber for sending me this cartoon! This ‘toon brings to mind a link that Larry sent me earlier today, about Obama’s performance to date — if he’s kept his campaign promises, or not, and which ones he has yet to do anything about:

“Exhale” Open Thread »

The video below reminded me of Obama’s DECREE today that the emergency bailout WILL be passed because he wishes it so, but not because he has spent a moment on Capitol Hill conferring with Democratic House and Senate members. He arrogantly mentions daily calls to Secretary Paulson, as that is all “The One” must [...]

Obama, Again, Exhibits Zero Class [Update: Unlike Obama, Governor Palin Visited Our Wounded Troops in Germany] »

UPDATE #2: Governor Palin has completely captured the limelight. I can’t even remember who I heard speak last night. I just heard her talk to ME. Both she AND John McCain mentioned this week’s celebration of women’s suffrage today. That other guy last night? He didn’t utter a single word about women’s suffrage [...]

Hope Specific »

Many of you no doubt saw the NY Times headline: Seeing Tougher Race, Allies Ask Obama to Make ‘Hope’ Specific
It is clear that his campaign is fading fast. Ever the sport here at No Quarter, we asked noted political strategist and avid No Quarter reader Sam Copeland (a good friend of our famed [...]

Steve Clemons: Gen. Clark Is Not Welcome at the Democratic National Convention »

Steve Clemons is one of the classiest and most fair-minded people I know. He makes every effort to always give people the benefit of the doubt. He demonstrates in every action and in all of his writings the “Golden Rule.”
Furthermore, if you’ve ever been lucky enough to have turned on C-Span during [...]

Consider this: »

In politics more calamitous blunders have been made by the theory that an orator is a statesman than for any other reason.
The oratorical type is the emotional type, expansive, a quick promiser who can diagnose evils and cannot prescribe for them and of course rarely cures them.
The orator has fooled people as an [...]

“From Milk Toast Internationalist to Brave McCain-Like Warrior. . . In under 24 hours.” »

1) Kudos to Gateway Pundit for my title. That is how Gateway Pundit characterized Obama’s switch on the Georgia / Russia crisis.
Reuters has Obama’s flip flop on the Georgia / Russia conflict.
“I condemn Russia’s aggressive actions and reiterate my call for an immediate ceasefire,” Obama said in a statement.
“Russia must stop [...]

Obama just doesn’t like to be questioned … »

Here’s another classic find by one of our readers, “Obama Doesn’t Really Like a Debate” that ties in perfectly with PatRacimora’s cartoon and commentary this morning. Thanks, TM. [STAY TUNED for a great post by Larry Johnson on Obama's thuggery in his treatment of the press. I added a new Category today to [...]
