America’s Mayors Tremble Under The Eye Of Watchful Deficit Hawk

I literally laughed out loud when I read this, “Invoking his own name-and-shame policy, President Barack Obama warned the nation’s mayors Friday that he will “call them out” if they waste the money from his massive economic stimulus plan. “We have asked for the unprecedented trust of the American people to deal boldly with the […]

“Iran Holds Enough Uranium For Bomb.” Obama? Hello, Obama!

There was a time, say 4-5 months ago, when this would have been a pretty big story. Iran has built up a stockpile of enough enriched uranium for one nuclear bomb, United Nations officials acknowledged on Thursday. In a development that comes as the Obama administration is drawing up its policy on negotiations with Tehran […]

The Standard By Which Obama’s Stimulus Package Should Be Judged

The stimulus bill that Obama just rammed through Congress is the single most expensive bill in American history. It came out to $1.2 trillion when you include the interest on the money.

Out Comes the Race Card to Defuse Porkulus Opposition

As we might have expected, opposition to Chairman 0’s Marxist policies is being depicted as “racist.” Check out this cartoon from yesterday’s New York Post: The reference is to Travis the psycho chimp — and to The Anointed One, if Al Sharpton is to be believed. For some reason, whenever a monkey is referred to, […]

Is The Obama Mortgage Solution Just More Pain Avoidance?

As you recall, the following is partially blamed for getting us into the current housing crisis: Ever since the credit crisis began, a lot of blame has been heaped on adjustable-rate mortgages, home loans that recalibrate according to market fluctuations.

Obama’s Attorney General: America Is “A Nation Of Cowards” On Matters Of Race

“People have been calling for national dialogues and conversations for decades. It usually works something like this: Liberals say we need a frank discussion about race (or class or gender) in this country, and then they proceed to bludgeon any conservative stupid enough to take them up on their offer.” — Jonah Goldberg The latest […]

The Case Of The Killer Chimp

On a day when bank nationalization, the stimulus, hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending, and the Roland Burris scandal were all in the news, it was a bit of a surprise to head over to the Drudge Report and see the “killer chimp” story as the headliner. However, this is one of those […]

A Disturbing Trend For Obama’s Poll Numbers

Last night, I was thinking about doing a post today predicting that Obama’s approval rating would drop into the 50s by next month. However, after taking a look at the RealClearPolitics poll numbers, I noticed that depending on the poll you look at, it has already happened. Two things. #1) The reason Rasmussen and Democracy […]

RWN’s Walter Williams Interview #2

I was delighted to get an opportunity to do a phone interview with one of my favorite columnists and economists, Walter Williams, about his new book, Liberty versus the Tyranny of Socialism.

Islamofascism by Increments

They say if you put a frog in a pot and bring it slowly to a boil, it will fail to jump out to safety, unable to perceive the incremental rise in temperature. Until recently, Marxists used this concept as a guide to imposing socialism on America, although they have recently grown arrogant enough to […]

What If America Plunged Into Great Depression II?

Matt Lewis poses the question, since references to FDR and The Depression seem all the rage now that Obama is in office. It’s disturbing that the Left thrills at the notion of economic devastation just so their guy can have a platform to shine. If it’s not bad enough, make it worse! President Obama will […]

California: Zimbabwe, U.S.A.

California crisis explained by Ed Morrissey: Democrats . . . refuse to consider large-scale rollbacks of state government programs. Doing so would jeopardize their standing among key constituencies, especially public-sector unions like AFSCME and SEIU.

“Fair Test”

A friend sent me this article last week and I am just now getting around to it. Evidently, the Standard Achievement Test (SAT) is unfair and so a “fair test” must replace, or better yet eliminate testing altogether. Before even reading, I had pictures in my head of dullards finally having self-esteem because the test […]
