Obama Outsources Some Authority To States

This was unexpected In a sweeping order Wednesday, President Barack Obama called for a rollback of Bush administration regulations designed to protect companies from product-liability lawsuits in state courts.

The Real Problem with the Republican Establishment

“The big mistake of Republican leadership is thinking that going through the motions of listening to their ‘base’ is the same thing as actually listening to the base. They keep trying to drag us to where they think we should be instead of joining us where we are.” — Yael If candidates who believe in […]

Will The Federal Government Bail Out California?

Is it too big to fail? Megan McArdle believes the possibility certainly exists (I mean was Arnie really in DC yesterday just to see the sights). Says McArdle: If the government does bail out the muni bond market, how should it go about things? The initial assumption is that they’ll only guarantee existing debt. Otherwise, […]

Kill PC in Five Easy Steps

Recently, James Hudnall at Big Hollywood chose the top five reasons that political correctness – the form of mass psychosis that recently put an unqualified Marxist community activist in the Oval Office — must die. Now he tells us how to kill it in five easy steps: 1. Honesty: The Miss California incident showed one […]

Virtual Colonoscopy: An Early Casualty of Socialized Medicine

The WSJ offers a preview of the impending socialized medicine train wreck: Last week the Medicare trustees reported that the program has an “unfunded liability” of nearly $38 trillion — which is the amount of benefits promised but not covered by taxes over the next 75 years. So Democrats have decided that the way to […]

As It Goes In California, So Shall It Go With Obama’s America

Arnold Schwarzenegger ran on a platform of fiscal conservatism and social liberalism, but like most other politicians who sell themselves that way, he quickly abandoned any and all pretenses of financial responsibility. As a sidenote, that’s very common. Many people falsely believe that social conservatives tend to be fiscally irresponsible — and while such animals […]

The Globe: Michelle Obama Vs. Oprah!

I do cover the trash tabloid beat and when I saw that the Globe said Michelle Obama and Oprah were at each other’s throats, well, I was already there. After reading this article, you will be, too. Here are the juicy details which, given that this is the Globe, have about a 20% chance of […]

Obama Chills While North Korea Prepares For Another Nuclear Test

John Bolton lets loose in an opinion article over at the Wall Street Journal: Get Ready for Another North Korean Nuke Test The curtain is about to rise again on the long-running nuclear tragicomedy, “North Korea Outwits the United States.” Despite Kim Jong Il’s explicit threats of another nuclear test, U.S. Special Envoy Stephen Bosworth […]

Bloggers To The NRSC: Stay Out Of Primaries

It was disappointing to many Republicans to see the National Republican Senatorial Committee get involved in the Charlie Crist vs. Marco Rubio primary in Florida. We’ve had the leadership of the Republican Party saying we need to get back to our principles and talking about how important it is to attract more young voters and […]

Pay Your Credit Card On Time and Suffer Anyway

Because the fact you’ve been a responsible adult and paid your credit cards on time and have immaculate credit simply doesn’t matter once Congress gets involved in saving yet another victim class from itself: Credit cards have long been a very good deal for people who pay their bills on time and in full. Even […]

Obama’s Mentors Team Up for Palestinian Cause

Two of the greatest influences on our Community Activist in Chief were his mentors Bill Ayers, an unrepentant Maoist terrorist, and Jeremiah Wright, a rabidly anti-American Marxist race hustler. Not even Chairman Zero is arrogant enough to give these vermin official positions in the government. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t been taking part in […]

We’re Going to Need a Bigger Graph

Remember this? It gives a general sense of what Comrade Obama is doing to our future. But to be accurate, as Hot Air points out, we’re going to need a bigger graph. To quote Robert J. Samuelson: From 2010 to 2019, Obama projects annual deficits totaling $7.1 trillion; that’s atop the $1.8 trillion deficit for […]

The Happiness Of Men

I’m amusing myself with headlines today. On the one hand, old, white Republican males are happy. On the other hand, young, white, blue-collar (read Republican?) males are being hammered by this recession/depression. So, if the life arc of a white male is pondered, it looks like this: There’s the angry, young man phase. There’s the […]

Latest AIP Column: How Nice Is Too Nice?

If America is going to be Europe Lite and turn into a socialist country, soft, cushy, lacking innovation and miserably haughty, I think America needs to decide how “nice” is going to look. The idea is create a society free of hardship rather than a free society. So what will that mean? Over at the […]

Criticism And Praise For Obama On Immigration

Seldom do I have a good thing to say about the Obama Administration’s policies because, well, seldom does he do anything good for the country. But, assuming this program pans out — which is a big “if” given the history of immigration enforcement in this country — it has my full approval, The Obama administration […]
