Fools and Our Money

Posted by DJ Drummond · Published: July 6, 2008 · Comments (24)

It never gets mentioned much in the dramas about our founding fathers, but one of the big reasons for the American Revolution, was money. You see, the British Empire was about two goals; power and wealth. The American colonies represented quite a bit of each, and while the phrase 'cash... [Full Story]

The price of beer is going up. Prices for a six-pack of beer or a pint at the pub are on the rise. Beer drinkers at The Pub in Pembroke Pines said they've noticed the increase. "It's still cheaper than gasoline, but (it's) not a good thing overall," one beer... [Full Story]

Women: are you worthy of a real man?

Posted by Cassy Fiano · Published: May 2, 2008 · Comments (39)

My post yesterday about how men need to man up ruffled a lot of feathers -- as I knew it would. But it wasn't the whiny liberals complaining this time around. Here, at Wizbang, and on Melissa's blog, the same theme was repeated over and over again: what are women... [Full Story]

Melissa Clouthier brings us a post today about how men need to butch up. Here's an excerpt: Do you guys think that by women entering the workforce, that women have had the same effect on the man's role as say welfare has? I mean, a generation ago, a man wouldn't... [Full Story]

SKYY Vodka likes the United States the way it is, thank you

Posted by Cassy Fiano · Published: April 12, 2008 · Comments (9)

I didn't write about Absolut Vodka's idiotic reconquista ad -- Michelle covered that topic thoroughly -- but needless to say, like most Americans I thought it was Absolut Bullshit. Many Mexicans already feel like the United States is their land which we owe to them anyways -- as much as... [Full Story]

Compassionate Conservatism? You got that right.

Liberals like to make themselves feel high and mighty through their self-righteous efforts to "save" the less-fortunate, usually through horrible policies that put the very less-fortunate liberals pretend to care about in worse positions than they were in before. But hey, it makes libs feel all warm and squishy inside,... [Full Story]

A girl in a boy's world

Posted by Cassy Fiano · Published: April 5, 2008 · Comments (4)

Feminists like to talk a lot about how women are exactly equal to men, and should be equal to them in every profession, even the "manly" ones. Well, AG Clifton from Twelve Pounds of Fury has a perspective on what that's really like that's pretty refreshing: The LAPD is in... [Full Story]

State Pride

In another thread, a rather testy reader commented "Houston is the fourth largest city in the entire country. I don't think you need to remind us that it's in Texas.". The Listkeeper observed in response that "It's Houston, Texas. It's not a reminder, it's part of the name." Well,... [Full Story]

Loving your wife -- and not being ashamed -- makes you whipped.

Posted by Cassy Fiano · Published: March 21, 2008 · Comments (9)

According to GQ, anyways. They just released a list of the 25 Most Whipped Husbands. Some of them, like Guy Ritchie, are kind of understandable (especially when the picture accompanying has Madonna and Ritchie leaving a "store" with Madonna carrying a strap-on). But some of them made my blood boil.... [Full Story]

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here is the obligatory holiday post to "celebrate" a holiday that's really nothing more than an excuse to drink a lot, wear green, and make being Irish "cool" for a day. I'm not huge into St. Patrick's Day, if you couldn't tell. I'm not a big... [Full Story]
