Arianna Huffington & The Plight Of The Poor

Posted on March 11, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Why is Arianna Huffington lecturing us on the plight of the poor? Here is what she says: Ever since Roseanne went off the air, network TV has not been the most welcoming place when it comes to telling the stories of working class Americans. But now, week in and week out, millions can see what […]

A Concise Explanation For Why Americans Ain’t Buyin’ What President Obama Is Sellin’ On Health Care

Posted on March 10, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

To little avail, I tried explaining why Health Care Reform scares Americans on Bloggingheads the other day. While, Democrats haggle over the details of health care reform, they’re ignoring how the entirety of the bill feels like to the American people. Rasmussen sums it up, with data: Why can’t the president move the numbers? One […]

Meg Whitman Weirdness

Posted on March 10, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

What in the heck? I wasn’t impressed with Meg Whitman at Western CPAC. Her delivery was flat. She seemed disinterested and bored and it was at the beginning of the campaign to a friendly audience. I don’t think she likes politics very much, but likes ruling things a lot. P.S. I’m only interested in California […]

No, Republicans Wouldn’t Repeal Health Care Reform

Posted on March 10, 2010March 10, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

One of the most maddening arguments from overly-optimistic friends of mine goes like this: Even if the Democrats pass health care reform, Republicans can run against it and say they’d repeal it and then look like heroes when they do it. The only problem with this flawed logic? The veto pen of Barack Obama for […]

Posted on March 9, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Fausta has a funny little piece up about a business whose sole purpose is to rent friends, ostensibly, to the friendless. Fausta says, “The tough part about having friends is being a friend. Maybe that’s why so many people don’t have friends.” Well, yes. It can be a lot of work to be a friend. […]

If Broadband Is A Right, Then A Car Is A Right

Posted on March 9, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Why do leftists insist on making everything a right? Why can’t they let the market do its thing? Here’s the deal: When people say that broadband is a right, what they mean is that the United States should pay for the world’s internet access.

Rahm Emanuel Is “Devil’s Spawn”–UPDATED Should Massa Refuse To Resign?

Posted on March 8, 2010March 8, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Democrats who hate Rahm Emanuel (and that seems to be all of them) are coming out against the man. The far left hates him because of his Southern Strategy.

Is Google Evil? Part II: Search Neutrality

Posted on March 5, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Google skates the edge. Persistently, relentlessly invading our lives. We want Google. We need Google. Then, they go and do something like Buzz and we feel violated.
