In honor of Comrade Obama, maybe we should rename this Looting and Mooching Day, since under his regime, ever fewer Americans labor — as these numbers make clear: Zero: The number of new jobs added in the month of August… 9.1%: The [official] unemployment rate for the month of August… From March 2009 (the month […]
What happens when the most insane administration in American history (the Obama regime) implements the most insane piece of legislation (the Americans With Disabilities Act)? This: Citing a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Obama administration is suing a trucking company for taking the keys away from an Arkansas driver and eventually firing […]
I wrote this for our monthly newsletter for HHH Consulting, thought I’d share it with everyone… People have made millions on self-help books telling people how to take their first steps down that road to success. Whole aisles in the bookstores are stuffed with the things. 101 Ways to Succeed, if only one! But, really, […]
Thanks to the profligate spending in Washington D.C., each American citizen’s share of the debt is now up to $31, 871, as you can see by the chart below… But that is nothing compared to where it will be in just a few short years. As the chart shows if things continue the way they […]
Somalia is in the midst of a famine, suffering from the worst drought in 60 years. 29,000 Somali children have died within the past three months, and 100,000 Somalis are expected to die in the next few weeks. The al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabab has destroyed the country, taking over much of the southern part of the […]
As we approach the time of Obama’s wishy washy jobs whine, we can surely assume that it will include lots of bloviating for more green jobs. And yet another study shows that the government push for these kills real jobs The UK’s headlong rush into renewable energy —one ignored by the rest of the world […]
“Find something you love to do so much that you’d do it for free and find a way to make it into a career.” — Anonymous I don’t know who came up with that quote, but it changed my life. You see, I’ve always been an ambitious person, but the only thing I knew for […]
It’s a good question, and ABC News’ Rick Klein posits that yes, she is wearing out the GOP’s welcome mat If it’s possible to wear out your welcome in politics, you can wear out your welcome mat, too. Sarah Palin’s protracted flirtations with a presidential run took her to Iowa this weekend. She attacked President […]
Some things just aren’t meant to be shared with your Facebook friends. Authorities have identified a 24-year-old woman found dead in a southeast Las Vegas apartment after her accused assailant called and told authorities where to find her. The Clark County coroner said Friday that Tiffany Batteate (bah-TEET’) was beaten and stabbed to death. Police […]
CHURCHVILLE, VA–Michelle Bachmann recently promised that, if elected President, she would get gasoline prices back down to $2 per gallon, She reminded us that gas was $1.79 when President Obama took office. Was this foolish campaign-speak? Probably not. An administration really dedicated to producing more U.S. energy could quickly make lots of progress–and probably encourage […]
The Obama 2012 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Bus Tour floated into Wayne, NJ today and at least one star-struck homeowner is high on Hopium: “He reached out to shake my hand. I thought that was pretty cool,” said Ron Hacker, 60, an out-of-work carpenter. “It was pretty nice of him to come down. He.s got […]
I’m sure that comment was a dig at Rick Perry. But it is useful as a device to get us talking about something not too much discussed; and that, in turn, illustrates rather vividly why Sarah Palin’s fifteenth minute is very far away from being up. Me, I rather like Rick Perry. If Palin announces […]
So George Lucas is re-re-re-releasing the Star Wars saga, this time with even more minor changes. Sheesh. Is it so much to ask to watch these in all their original, melodramatic glory? At least until the remake, which may or may not happen before the third and final trilogy is released? Fans/geeks are annoyed. In […]
Sometimes the matched sets just write themselves. Both of the articles I’m quoting here are from England. The first in our set is an article saying that town councils across England are being told that they need to reinstate actual playgrounds. The current versions, which are the kid equivalent of a padded room, are creating […]
Hot gossip, intellectual rumors and more! From the unscholarly: part of Wings Over Iraq
Just a few stories that caught my eye this week, whether I blogged them or not. Link: Howard Kurtz. Link: The Wolf Files. Link: Doug Powers. Link: Andrew Malcolm. Link: Don Surber. This one actually needs two links. First, Ann Althouse, and then Patrick Archbold. Link:Trog. Link: Trog. Link: Trog. Previously: This Week in Automotivators, […]
Virtually every other NY Times columnist is still full of Obama Love, mostly refusing to criticize Mr. Obama. Maureen Dowd, though, seemed to lose patience with him a while ago, and rips him to shreds: One and Done? ONE day during the 2008 campaign, as Barack Obama read the foreboding news of the mounting economic […]
He says: fourth-generation nuclear power plants should be the focus. (He notes that supercomputers can simulate extremely rare disasters such as “Richter-10 earthquakes”.) Cross-posted from Newmark’s Door.
“Ten Job-Destroying Regulations“. “Labor Rules Thwarting ‘Green Jobs’ Agenda“. (“Looking forward to the impending West Side Story brawl between the Teamsters and the Greensters.”: Heh!) “And Here’s How to Double Productivity“.
Nice story by Gary Smith (Sports Illustrated) about the Phillies’s catcher,: Carlos “Chooch” Ruiz.
The story: Tripoli Files Show CIA Working With Libya The Central Intelligence Agency and Libyan intelligence services developed such a tight relationship during the George W. Bush administration that the U.S. shipped terror suspects to Libya for interrogation and suggested the questions they should be asked, according to documents found in Libya’s External Security agency […]
Or maybe I should say: another Krugmaniacal bit of ridiculous. Today, NY Times columnist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman is bemoaning the Obama administration’s retreat from their new ozone regulations: I’ve actually been avoiding thinking about the latest Obama cave-in, on ozone regulation; these repeated retreats are getting painful to watch. For what it’s worth, […]
Yes, really. Included in a paper on the official Columbia University server we get (via Tom Nelson) This raises a question: if the Keystone XL pipeline is approved, can we make a citizen’s arrest on Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for violating the Security Act? If they were put in the back of a hot […]
Let’s see: he’s planning on giving a non-primetime speech to a joint session of Congress regarding jobs creation next week, one which has already been reduced to being an idea to release a notion of a plan over the next few months (in between campaign fundraisers). We have the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 coming up […]
Probably a little less gross than I expected.: Your mileage may vary.
Many excellent ones. Missed the halftime speech from: Friday Night Lights.
Not only am I a conservative, I’m a Southern Baptist who started going to church when I was knee-high. Moreover, most of my friends could fairly be called Christian conservatives. That being said, the first time I ever even heard the word “Dominionism” was on a left-wing website that was probably about as hostile to […]
As I sit down to craft this report I just this moment returned from a fundraiser for former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich held in a small town called Lake Barrington in the western suburbs of Chicago. It was a nice, congenial scene unfortunately held on one of Chicago’s hottest evenings with temperatures reaching […]
The Left has been passing around this absurd chart for months. The data isn’t wrong. However, everyone on the Left who sends it to me clearly doesn’t understand what it demonstrates. I made a video about it below.
