The Real War On Women

To hear the Democrats and their flacks in the kneepad media (hat tip: Brad Thor) tell it, the conservative movement is pressing a battle against the fairer sex with all the ferocity of an islamofascist who just caught sight of a woman who’s showing too much ankle outdoors.

Killer Science

The Chelyabinsk, Russia, meteor was a not-too-subtle reminder that science trumps science fiction every time. That Mother Nature packs a real wallop. Yet President Barack Obama wants us to fund efforts to combat “global warming.”

Weird Science

Resurrecting the ghost of Solyndra. Manbearpig has an army of space rocks! And, the sip heard ’round the (media) world. All this — plus — you’re still away, Mr. President. Presented in 1080 hi-def, FOR FREE! It’s The Great Eight, from the Personal Liberty Digest™!

Small Raise, Big Trouble

Forget everything else President Barack Obama said during the State of the Union address. One demand presents a clear and present danger: The President wants to increase the Federal minimum wage to $9 per hour from its current $7.25 per hour.

Political Climate Change

Later on this evening, President Barack Obama will take to the floor of the United States House of Representatives and deliver the annual legislative, social and ideological grocery list known as the State of the Union (SOTU) address. In tonight’s speech, Obama will address myriad items which he thinks need immediate and definitive action. Among the entries on his wish list: something he refers to as “climate change.”

Chris Rock And The Space Monkeys

That ain’t my daddy. “Panther” Panetta falls on his assault scissors. And Obama gets his creep on with Nancy Pelosi. All this — plus — Super Space Sequins! Presented in 1080 hi-def, FOR FREE! It’s The Great Eight, from the Personal Liberty Digest™!

25 Years Of Sex And Politics

Heavyweight politicos have been tripping over their own — um — feet since the first time some Cro-Magnon decided to drag the cute female with the two-syllable name back to his cave. But some of the more recent dalliances with “girls Friday” have crossed the line between scandalous and enormously entertaining.

Straight Shooting

If the President’s hijinks seem too small for national discussion, that’s because they are. However, focusing on them isn’t petty; it’s a result of Obama’s seemingly reflexive tendency to lie, even when telling the truth would be easier.

Pimpin’ With Bob

Hands off the President, Hillary. An inconvenient child. And meeting girls with Senator Menendez. All this — plus — cold crimes with Christie Hefner. Presented in 1080 hi-def; FOR FREE! It’s The Great Eight, from the Personal Liberty Digest™!

Yes, Ma’am!

While I fully understand the desire to preserve some semblance of gender roles in an increasingly confused society, I struggle to comprehend the idea that women are somehow unable to perform properly in a firefight because they’re using different plumbing.
