There were a lot of whoppers in President Obama’s campaign SOTU speech but one in particular jumped out, if for no other reason than the dizzying heights of its hypocrisy. Obama, recall, asked for legislation to ensure that people who bundle campaign contributions for Congress couldn’t lobby Congress, and vice versa, which sounds great in […]
Gov. Beverly Perdue will not seek reelection, according to news reports, with a formal announcement scheduled for this afternoon. Facing sagging poll numbers, anticipated tough opposition from Republican Pat McCrory, and general angst within her own party, this hardly comes as a giant surprise. Still, with the DNC headed to town it’s hard to imagine […]
The clock for the Occupy movement to decamp its entrenched hovels on the lawn in front of old City Hall began ticking Monday night, when the Charlotte City Council approved new ordinances that prohibit camping on city property and give police more clout to stop and search people during the Democrat National Convention or any […]
Like most other “rich” people, I slept in this morning; rolled out from under the spun-gold sheets at the crack of noon, showered in Evian and went outside to fill up my humungous money bucket with the golden coins that fall out of the sky on people like me. No, no really – that’s where […]
Jon Stewart slices and dices Gingrich, Romney, the MSM, and the complete debacle that has become the GOP primary season. Hilarity – you know, in that excruciatingly painful kind of way that hurts so good:
Back by popular demand! A little something to help pass the time during tonight’s kickoff to campaign season 2012: the official PunditHouse State of the Union BoINGO Card.

You had better be seated for this one. Guess what Charlotte taxpayers are now being asked to pay for? Take a look in the “Smart Money” section of the January 22, 2012 edition of The Charlotte Observer. It is amazing just how much Charlotte is willing to spend, much less what it has spent, to […]
On the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, it would be remiss to not note the crippling critique provided by Michael Paulsen over at RealClearPolitics: Today, thousands of people at the March for Life in Washington, D.C., are commemorating the thirty-ninth anniversary of a legal and moral monstrosity, Roe v. Wade, and its companion case, […]
Here’s the quaint little diagram most textbooks have taught American schoolchildren over the last century about the so-called ‘checks and balances’ in the American democratic republic system. Looks simple, right? It almost looks like a ‘peace-and-love’ symbol from the early 1970’s. It is also vastly ‘wrong’ when considering just exactly what sort of government James […]
