Kennedy to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association in 1960, said the speech made him want to vomit because Kennedy used the term "absolute" separation of church and state. The transcript is here.   (h/t conservativegram in the Tip Line) ...

Oops, forgot, not allowed to say that. From reader Tom, who spotted this Vermont vehicle on Broadway in Saratoga Springs, NY, and writes: You've probably already seen the "responsible" sticker, but it was new for me. Thanks for your continued insight on all things conservative. Actually, I don't think we've...

One of our readers, Patricia, has started doing graphic production work for a local Tea Party group, check out her first item. Elsewhere: AP Rigs Poll for Obama .

Contrary to what many are saying, Mitt Romney didn't specifically attack Santorum on No Child Left Behind at the Arizona debate (here's the transcript). In fact, Romney defended Bush's motives: And with regards to No Child Left Behind, the right answer there -- President Bush stood up and said,...

Historically high winter gas prices: Who to blame? You know. Via American Glob: Obama is still trying to make this about Republicans. Nancy Pelosi has moved on to blaming Wall Street. A few years ago Obama, Pelosi and almost every other member of their party blamed one person. The president. ...

WaPo is pushing the girl power theme, asserting that the ladies are taking over the social media dance floor: Are social media sites destined to always be the online equivalent of a seventh-grade dance? Men on one side, women on the other? The numbers suggest that, instead, women will...

When Iranian protesters took to the streets in June 2009, the Obama administration policy was to keep quiet and indirectly support the regime in the hopes of luring Iran into nuclear arms talks. Only when the political pressure became too great did Obama speak out, and even...

Thanks to reader John for this photo, taken in a supermarket parking lot in Richmond, VA: ...

Algae is just alright with me, Algae is just alright, oh yeah. I don't care what they may say, Algae is just alright, oh yeah. Via Kurt Schlichter: ...

There are few things so vile as the various "Israel Apartheid Week" activities that have taken place the last few years, an attempt by the coalition of Islamists and Leftists to delegitimize Israel, and everything about Israel. Look at the speaker list of almost any of...

Sheldon Whitehouse, the luckiest investor in America, has to go. Support Barry Hinckley.  With recent news of Whitehouse's abysmal favorability rating, it's doable.  It would be the shocker of 2012, in a place they are not expecting it.
