**Written by Doug Powers We’ve had some fun with Al Sharpton, from “resist we much” to the blueberry pie promo, and last night Saturday Night Live got in on the action: The IRS still isn’t laughing. **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe

The art of lowering expectations

You know that gaffetastic United Nations photo-op of President Obama earlier this week? The one where his beauty pageant wave blocked another foreign dignitary and elicited gigglesnorts heard ’round the world? Well, photographer/videographer extraordinaire Michael Deppisch memorialized the moment with an animated .gif that I just had to share. This should be the U.N. Christmas [...]

**Written by Doug Powers A very happy Father’s Day to all our dad readers, and I’d like to send out a special one to my own dad. My kids made me homemade cards. I don’t melt easily but that does it every time, although some will blame global warming. So far though nobody here has [...]

Hangover Hilton

Worth the weight

Yep, I turned the big 4-0 today. Thanks for all the great e-mail birthday messages and tweets! Moving out of D.C. after a decade of Beltway swamp life and settling in Colorado was one of the healthiest decisions I’ve made. Although most of you know me from TV, books, and the blogosphere, I have been [...]

“Juussst a bit outside…”

**Written by Doug Powers By way of Moonbattery, a sign spotted at the State Department: Van Helsing adds: The leftist criminals running the federal government are stealing literally $trillions from us, from our children, and from our grandchildren, and using nonsensical bailouts and pork-stuffed “stimulus” farces to pass out the loot among their corrupt cronies.

**Written by Doug Powers Republican Marty Lamb is running for Congress in the 3rd Congressional District in Massachusetts, and his campaign mailer contains something most voters can use these days — A barf bag: (pic via jimfarrellxx) If this doesn’t work, the next logical step is toilet paper.

**Written by Doug Powers Want memos detailing US interrogation techniques? Here you go. Want to know the size of the US nuclear arsenal? No problem. Want to know what flavor ice cream the Obamas ordered? Sorry, that’s a secret! (h/t HAP) **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe

A few weeks ago, many of you helped out as beta testers for the michellemalkin.com Android app. My website tech guru Ed Burns informs me that our free blog app is now up and running. Just go to the Android Market on your phone and search for “Michelle Malkin.” If you have a smartphone with [...]

My friend Lisa De Pasquale writes a fun feature for Human Events called “De Pasquale’s Dozen.” It’s an offbeat, up-close-and-personal interview series she conducts with conservative writers, public officials, and other neat people on the right side of the political aisle. You can find her archive here. This week, she got me to reveal my [...]

Who is it THIS time?

**Written by Doug Powers Today is the 41st anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969. It’s also my oldest son’s 15th birthday, but I digress… We hear a lot about “progress” these days, but it usually involves bailouts, freebies, nanny-state nonsense, deficit spending and perverting the name of “science” to justify [...]

Hope-B-Gone

The beta signup is now closed. If you missed it, don’t worry – you will not have to wait too long before we release the app to [...]

Hope you are all having a wonderful Independence Day. So: What’s cooking on your grill this weekend? I made Filipino-style BBQ chicken and pork (secret ingredient: Sprite!) and corn on the cob with hoisin sauce (if you don’t have siracha sauce, use red pepper flakes). Share your favorite recipes and enjoy the rest of the [...]

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers Well, it’s not really a “news” graphic because it’s from a parody news program. Can you guess which one? The Ed Schultz Show on MSNBC? Not this time. No, not Chris Matthews. Larry King? Nope. The CBS Evening News? No, keep going… Olbermann? Nuh-uh — I said a parody news [...]

Head out on the highway… As I mentioned last week, I’m with my family on our first ever RV trip. (Thanks to readers and e-mailers for sharing your wonderful travel memories.) Internet and phone access on my trek have been quite spotty – blissfully so. Doug Powers will continue to hold down the fort here [...]

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I’ve been spending a bit more time away from the blog as family time and summer planning have taken precedence. One of the big projects I’ve been organizing is something I’ve always dreamed of: a great American road trip. We’re renting an RV (first time!) and we’ll be [...]

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers We spend Memorial Day weekend honoring our heroes past and present, but I thought an “on the lighter side” story would be appropriate, provided it featured one of those heroes. Via HotAirPundit, here’s one Marine who’s pretty impressed with “the hottest cougar in the Republican Party”: So it is, however. [...]
