  • Downright Fruity: Swedish Official Demands Banana-free Rooms Due to Phobia

    By Selwyn Duke “Yes, We Have No Bananas” is the name of a famous old song. It’s also apparently what Sweden’s “gender equality minister,” Paulina Brandberg, wants to hear. What’s that? Well, here’s the story: The official actually demands that her staff clear rooms of all bananas before her arrival — owing, reportedly, to a phobia. I…

  • Video: Don’t Support Kamala! A Man Smarter Than She is Diagnoses Her Problem

    By Selwyn Duke If you want to know what's wrong with Kamala Harris, this video explains it. And wait till you see who's rendering the diagnosis!

  • The Rise of the Professional Slut

    By Selwyn Duke “There was a time when you knew who the bad girls were,” someone close to me once said. “Now you know who the good girls are.” And I hear that all three of them are beside themselves over today’s state of affairs. “Lena Dunham: I Was Raped By a ‘Campus Republican,’” the…

  • Archie Bunker in the White House?

    By Selwyn Duke Everyone who isn’t like Obama (i.e., uninformed) knows about Obama’s not-too-uncommon malapropisms and mistakes, such as when he pronounced “corpsman” “corpse-man” — three times in one speech. Early this year, the president called Oklahoma’s Choctaw Nation the “Cock-taw” Nation. And more recently, he mispronounced Ebola “Ebolee” during an October 2 speech in…

  • Why I Hate Soccer

    By Selwyn Duke This article will be a departure from my usual fare. I will not claim there is some Absolute Truth deeming soccer the bane of humanity’s sports. I do not contend that some objective, divine standard places it in Dante’s ninth circle of athletic arenas, though I wish I could. Sport is a…

  • Top Ten Things Putin Said to Obama about Ukraine

    By Selwyn Duke While Barack Obama’s recent telephone conversation with Russian president Vladimir Putin about the Crimean standoff has been widely reported, the exact substance of the discussion has remained a mystery. That is, until now. Owing to highly placed confidential sources, I’m pleased to report that I have become privy to some of the…

  • 10 Really Stupid Things Liberals Have Said

    By Selwyn Duke Liberals truly are fonts of sophistication and erudition. We know this because liberals tell us, and liberals are smart. They would never mangle words as does Dubya Bush or misspell “potato” like hapless Dan Quayle. But there are some things they would do, and what follows is a sampling. 1. The Four…

  • The Debate: Obama’s Affirmative-action Performance

    By Selwyn Duke Hey, just blame it on Bush. The consensus on the presidential debate last night is that Barack Obama could resurrect the Choom Gang and star in a remake of Dazed and Confused. Conservative pundits are all aflutter with praise and liberals are all on Twitter with groans. Andrew Sullivan wrote, “Obama looked…

  • Hokumhontas Warren’s Stupid Horse Moment

    By Selwyn Duke Many critics have called Massachusetts Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren a "racist" for relating a family story about how her grandfather had "high cheekbones like all Indians do."  But they're wrong.  The comment wasn't "racist." It was stupid. In fact, it was childishly stupid.  Really, it reminds one of the copout Bill Clinton…

  • In Praise of a Do-nothing Congress

    By Selwyn Duke Here's a question: how can we expect to have small government if we condemn Congress for not growing it? It's always a disturbing experience when you're accosted with a picture of Harry Reid, as I was upon logging on to Drudge last Monday afternoon.  But at least his image bore a fitting…
