I’m not much of a fan of comic books – I was more into Zelda and Robert Heinlein when I was a kid, but my daughter has expressed an interest in them so I’ve been exploring them with her – and I generally don’t write here on SAB about issue not specifically related to North…
Was Ed Schultz Drunk Tweeting?
I’m not a fan of cable news. There are a couple of personalities I like – I tune in to Neil Cavuto if I’m around a television when he’s on – but other than that, cable news strikes me as the lowest common denominator in American politics. It’s shallow and manipulative. Mostly paid political professionals…
When "Diversity" Means "No White People Allowed"
At the South Puget Sound Community College a group called “The Staff, Faculty and Administrators of Color” sent out an email to all of the college’s employees inviting them to an anti-racist event.

Great Moments In Government Excess
Conservatives like me like to complain a lot about how large and meddlesome government has become. And while those complaints are perfectly valid – I think America’s national government has grown so far beyond the scope it was originally intended for that it’s become inherently ungovernable – we still don’t have anything on the Europeans.…
Teenager Jailed For Months Over A Facebook Joke
Was the joke in poor taste? Absolutely. Should he have been jailed for months over it? Don’t our cops have better things to do with their time? Jack Carter says his son Justin and a friend got into an argument with someone on Facebook about the game and the teenager wrote a comment he now…
Democrat: "It's Not Fair" For Congress To Be Subjected To Obamacare
Obamacare is ok for the average American, but not for Congress, at least according to one Democrat: Dozens of lawmakers and aides are so afraid that their health insurance premiums will skyrocket next year thanks to Obamacare that they are thinking about retiring early or just quitting. The fear: Government-subsidized premiums will disappear at the…
Ed Schultz Now Hawking Gold As A "Lifeboat" In America's Sinking Economy
Just in case you needed any more evidence to prove that Ed Schultz is a hack who will pretty much say whatever he’s told to say, consider this recent ad in which Schultz shills for gold, a product usually pushed by the likes of Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Via Mediate: Normally Schultz…
Democrat Blames Oklahoma Tornado On Republicans
See, if Republicans would just buy into the political alarmism about global warming, tragedies like the one in Oklahoma wouldn’t happen: While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his…
"A Pencil is Considered a Weapon When It's Pointed at Someone in a Threatening Way and Gunlike Noises Are Made"
You can’t make this stuff up: A Suffolk second grader has been suspended for making gunlike noises while pointing a pencil at another student. WAVY-TV reports the 7-year-old boy was suspended for two days for a violation of the Suffolk school system’s zero-tolerance policy on weapons. He was playing with another student in class Friday…
