The Grand Old Party looked more old than grand on Election Day as the Democrats played schoolyard keepaway and made the Republicans run home crying for mommy. (But Nancy Reagan was too busy accepting an apology from Barack Obama for his mean mean politically incorrect remark about seances.) Obama and Joe Biden ate John McCain's lunch on Nov. 4, and it looks like the hockey mom packed something tasty because the president-elect and the vice president-elect sure looked happy. They had the same big smiles that all honest decent Americans were wearing.

"I Am America (And So Can You)" by Stephen Colbert, Grand Central Publishing, $26.99

I was a bit concerned about the quality of Stephen Colbert's new book, "I Am America (And So Can You)." After all, The Colbert Report is one of the greatest things that has ever been on television (even if Comedy Central's true sympathies are questionable at best.) It just didn't seem possible that a book, a mere book, could improve on the philosophy of the man who already speaks for me, for us, for America, for that Silent Majority of around 30 percent who know that freedom isn't free.

I saw lil' Bill O'Reilly's essay on faith a few weeks ago. You really have to admire O'Reilly's determination to keep weighing in on the BIG ISSUES despite his lack of integrity, clarity, insight, sincerity, cogency or wit. He never gives up his ambitious goal to look like someone who has something to say.

I think it's cute that he's trying to help. What a brave little soldier! And his temper tantrums are like the yelping of a three-year-old who wants to help Daddy mow the lawn. (But Daddy has to be pragmatic. Just take a look at O'Reilly's weekly column to get an idea what the yard would look like if Junior got his way. What a mess.)

I have never read Niall Ferguson, the historian. I have wasted enough of my time, as a Southern historian, reading what the defenders of slavery have to say that I am not really very interested in reading the British version of Time on the Cross about how wonderful the colonies were, and how nice the world would be if France and England had realized that Germany had EVERY RIGHT to help Austria eviscerate the Balkans in 1914. It drains the soul to see what lengths ideologues will go to prove a series of idocies with a lot of hair-splitting and speculation and rather transparent rhetorical tricks. And all they have to say to their critics is, "Sorry to upset the liberal orthodoxy in academia! Everybody is so politically correct these days! Stop the Academic Inquisition!" and they think they don't have to defend their arguments. Read More

Is there anything more pathetic on the current political scene than the pro-war protester?

Consider what it is they are protesting. Consider what they are angry about. Consider what's got their panties in a bunch that moves them to congregate in the dozens to shout obscenities and talking points at their fellow Americans. Read More

DOG POOP GIRL: IS THE MSM MISREPRESENTING THE ROLE OF THE BLOGS ON PURPOSE?

The Washington Post published an article entitled "Subway Fracas Escalates Into Test Of the Internet's Power to Shame" last week and, with the characteristic arrogant moralizing of the MSM, posited that the story of the Dog Shit Girl (known as the Dog Poop Girl in the WAPO) somehow signaled the dangers of the growing power of blogs. We bloggers should be cautious, lest we abuse our powers, the MSM -- in its infinite wisdom -- seems to say. I saw the story in the Los Angeles Times this morning with an even more arrogant and judgmental headline: "But that's Big Brother's Job."

Well, Maryscott likes Duckerford B. Hayes, so I can do it on a semi-regular basis until I run out of lame conservative talking points to mock.

Which could be a while. Read More
