I've done a courtesy search for the term the right to blast you for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• The DHS Shoe On the Other Foot

  Wikileaks latest has indicated that DHS was keeping tabs on the Occupy Movement as a potential danger. Naturally, of course, the Left has freaked about “oppression”, a freak-out which includes this laughable quote:

  On Current TV last night, host Cenk Uygur blasted the agency for focusing exclusively on Occupy Wall Street. “The Tea Party… that happens to be pro-corporate America is not anywhere to be found here [but] when Occupy Wall Street is not pro-corporate

• Doing Business in America

  We all know that regulatory uncertainty is a conservative myth, right? The very idea that the tens of thousands of pages of federal regulations are inhibiting American business is just laughable, no?

  Well, someone forgot to tell the Economist:

  America is meant to be the home of laissez-faire. Unlike Europeans, whose lives have long been circumscribed by meddling governments and diktats from Brussels, Americans are supposed to be free to choose, for better or for

• Let All the Poisons That Lurk in the Mud Hatch Out

  In probably the most foreseeable political development of the last month, the Ron Paul newsletters have moved front and center in news coverage of the Republican primary. We discussed this issue extensively four years ago and I’ll just repeat what I said then: the content of the newsletters is deplorable; I believe Ron Paul when he says he didn’t write them; but he owes the voters a much more thorough response than he has provided … Read more

• Politifact Politicized

  I have a sort of like-dislike relationship with Politifact. I think they are useful for gathering facts and providing background. I actually find their long-form articles, where they hash out the details of claims and allow both sides to make their case, much more illuminating than their offhand ratings, which are a bit arbitrary. They are certainly superior to, say, Media Matters, which unabashedly touts the liberal line. But I do occasionally find they get … Read more

• Priceless! – You can’t make this up.

  If you still doubt that the people currently in charge are putting PC bullshit ahead of our security then this story might clear the air somewhat:

  Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday blasted the Defense Department for classifying the Fort Hood massacre as workplace violence and suggested political correctness is being placed above the security of the nation’s Armed Forces at home.

  During a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on

• Blast from the Future

  Hmmmmm.

  I’ve been scratching my head for a long time, trying to figure out why NASA hasn’t been taking the idea of preventing asteroid impacts more seriously.

  …

  So I’m pretty chuffed that the European Space Agency is looking into saving our collective skins. They’ve being studying the feasibility of a mission to test methods of asteroid impact mitigation, including a very very cool space mission they’ve dubbed Don Quijote (first proposed in 2002,

• Ad Astra

  This is going to be a bit of a long rambling post. But it’s on a subject close to me personally and professionally.

  As most of you know, I’m a professional star-gazer and a lifelong fan of space exploration. And right now, the state of space is in flux.

  

  On Friday, the shuttle Atlantis blasted off for the 135th and final shuttle mission. The Space Shuttle has had a long and somewhat checkered history. On … Read more

• Wild Life Racing

  I was almost going to do another edition of ,”Aren’t you glad you don’t live here”, but a road race involving puddles of vomit, naked people, wild costumes, drunken collisions, and a genuine atmosphere of wild reveling might be your c’est la mode, so lace ‘em up.

  If there’s one thing people here seem to agree on, it’s that nudity during an athletic event isn’t a problem. But the city’s tolerance for other forms of
