When Democrats Cower
There appear to be some folks willing to step right up and fill in for the missing Congresswoman. Democrat Gabrielle Giffords represents the Arizona 8th district. She had scheduled a town hall, then canceled it at the last minute. Enter … Continue reading
Cash For Flippers
A town government in Israel has announced their answer to the Cash for Clunkers program. The Cash for Flippers scheme will give $1 million for a photograph of the local mermaid. No, really. An alleged mermaid, said to resemble a … Continue reading

Murtha Breaks Ranks
This one surprises me. A tiny little blurb in what is largely a puff piece about Obama’s performance in Montana yesterday indicates that ObamaCare is in real trouble. It seems that none other than John Murtha is signaling that this … Continue reading
Grandma, Unplugged
No, it is not a new MTV reality series, (although it could be some day in the future) rather it is the subject of Mark Steyn’s column this week over at The Orange County Register. Not Barack Obama personally unplugging … Continue reading

I Will Try Not To Sing On A Kia
We are being bombarded with “news” about the 40th anniversary of a celebration of dope by dopes. I’m referring, of course, to Woodstock. For some reason, some people think that this concert, held in a muddy field, was a watershed … Continue reading

Huge Bank Failure
A followup to a post from yesterday. As predicted by Bloomberg, Colonial BancGroup has failed, the largest bank failure in 2009. The FDIC seized that bank plus four others late Friday, bringing the 2009 total to 77 – more than … Continue reading
Against ObamaCare? You Don’t Exist.
The new strategy by Barack Obama: Actual protesters against ObamaCare don’t actually exist. Pay no attention to that person with a sign and a question for their elected representative – they are merely unpersons and unworthy of being treated as … Continue reading

“You Guys Are Crooks”
The unpersons speak up – again. Today’s assurances by the White House, The DNC and Nancy Pelosi that Nazis, thugs, mobsters and scum don’t actually exist and are not showing up to question the delivered wisdom of Democrats appears to … Continue reading

The Gums Of August
As in flapping gums. The Politico asks if Democrats are losing in August. Their article is concentrating on a Republican, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, but there is real fear revealed here. After an intimate White House lunch last week, Republican … Continue reading

Missing The Point
Ed Henry of CNN points out that Barack Obama is facing a tough sell for his ObamaCare out in Big Sky Country. Montanans are very suspicious of letting the Federal government into their most private decisions. LIVINGSTON, Montana (CNN) — … Continue reading
Hey, Honey! You Married A Mutant!
The New York Times reports on the discovery of a genetic mutation that results in a person only needing six hours of sleep each night instead of the “normal” 8+ hours. Researchers have found a genetic mutation in two people … Continue reading

Yes, We Have No Un-Americans!
Only a few days after declaring protesters at town hall events “un-American” (and less than a day after a White House spokesman made the ludicrous claim that people were showing up at town halls dressed up as Adolph Hitler) Nancy … Continue reading

Bad Sign
This is not good news. Sales of video games plummeted last month by some 29% from 2008 sales. Despite predictions that the recession would keep us all indoors giving ourselves repetitive strain injury, sales of games and consoles in July … Continue reading

The Debt Trap
Desmond Lachman, writing in Forbes: History is littered with examples of major economic and financial crises in countries that have engaged in profligate public spending. These sad experiences should be raising red flags in the U.S. Public finances suggest that … Continue reading
