A number of economists, including Paul Krugman, have panned Timothy Geithner’s plan to recapitalize banks by buying toxic assets in a complex and highly leveraged way that puts the taxpayer’s dollars at risk. Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel economist, has piled on. In fact, his is probably the most damning opinion I’ve seen. Stiglitz says that […]

Maybe I was asleep during history class? But, I swear we immigrated to America for civil, political and economic freedom. We attempted to get away from the lunatics in Europe, East Asia and Africa today. The old land was terrible and we wanted an improvement. We wanted to be free; that was the point. Now, […]

Did Bill Clinton have something to do with preparing this press release? Why? No particular reason, just a wild hunch… Journalists seeking to talk a little foreign policy with high-profile Obama administration officials live from the G20 meetings in London this week were solicited for phone sex instead after ringing up the toll-free number given […]

When bad laws are applied by bad people, bad results follow. For an example of an awful law applied by awful people, refer to the Obamination Administration exploiting McCain-Feingold to quash our right of political dissent. If Obamunists succeed in this latest push for totalitarian power, the First Amendment will have been effectively repealed: On […]

At least one person is happy to see socialists take over GM and send its CEO off the plank as a scapegoat. Rabidly anticapitalist and anti-American propagandist Michael Moore is ecstatic that we have degenerated to the point that government bureauweenies have taken upon themselves the authority to fire the heads of major corporations. I […]

This study’s conclusions strike me as a bit dubious, The University of Melbourne study showed that people who use the Internet for personal reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive that those who do not. Study author Brent Coker, from the department of management and marketing, said “workplace Internet leisure browsing,” or WILB, […]

Remember this touching MoveOn.org advertisement, now new and improved by Redstate? Remember when the deficit caused Democrats heartburn? They even had the nerve to act concerned while they controlled Congress for the last two years of Bush’s administration and increased spending themselves. Now, Barack Obama enslaves his kids’ generation with multiple trillions in debt and […]

There’s a reason why conservatives want to shift health care tax breaks from companies to individuals, institute tort reform, and allow people to buy insurance from any state: it’s because it will cover many more Americans, drive costs down, and increase choice for consumers. On the other hand, Obama favors socialized medicine which will drive […]

Since Barack Obama has now established that the government can fire people in organizations that take federal funds, how about we fire the Deans at every public college that has officially screened porn for its students? Some of the most hoity-toity universities in the nation are offering students an unusual distraction from the stress of […]

This should give hope to the folks who back the use of ESCs Scientists have announced a “major breakthrough” in attempts to find a cure for deafness after the cells vital for hearing were grown in a laboratory. Early versions of the sensory hair cells and the brain cells that enable hearing have been made […]

I’m sure you’ve heard somebody say, “If I only knew what I know now at 18….” Well, what I’d like to do is take some of that wisdom that the people reading this blog have, distill it down, and put it out as an article. To do that, I’ll need some suggestions for things from […]

“Obama tells us that we can spend our way out of debt. He tells us that even though the government had control over the banks and did nothing to stop the bad that’s going on, if we give them more control over more other bank-like things, then they can make sure bad stuff doesn’t happen […]

But, you know, we told you so, and even the Associated Press is not able to keep their hopeNchange enthusiasm with this story One of President Barack Obama’s campaign pledges on taxes went up in puffs of smoke Wednesday. The largest increase in tobacco taxes took effect despite Obama’s promise not to raise taxes of […]

Senator Tom Coburn’s office provides a few facts about the budget the Obama administration has submitted to Congress. Budget buster would most likely be a better description: Total Spending: Total spending under this budget is $3.9 trillion in 2009, or 28% of GDP, the highest level as a share of GDP since World War II. […]

See my last post on Rightwingnews if you have no idea what this is about. But, please rate this on YouTube. Thanks.

This morning, I started writing a post regarding the G20 meeting, and was going to ask “what entity will be the first involved in an Obama gaffe? This can be a person, a group, country, etc.” Was pressed for time, never got to finish and post it. But, hey, we have the first of what […]

Obama’s latest choice to head Health and Human Services will now be known as something other than the Abortion Queen; she’s also a tax cheat, in the proud tradition of many other Obama nominees, including Tom Daschle, Ron Kirk, Nancy Killefer, and of course Timothy Geithner, who oversees the IRS. Kathleen Sebelius recently corrected three […]

Not even the Moonbat Messiah can destroy America single-handedly. But with his power to make appointments likely to be rubber-stamped by a loony-left Congress, he won’t have to. Harold Koh gives an idea of what kind of Supreme Court justices we have to look forward to. Obama nominated Koh on March 23 to become the […]

Last night, there was a special election to replace Kirsten Gillibrand (D) in New York’s Congressional 20th district. Both sides poured a lot of resources into the race and Barack Obama did everything short of showing up personally to help Murphy win. The result? Murphy was ahead at the end of the night by 69 […]

It’s looking more likely that Ashley Biden was set up, but fully enjoyed snorting some cocaine. The Deceiver (via Instapundit) says this story reminds them of the Rielle Hunter media blackout and imagines that were the story about Bristol Palin, we wouldn’t hear the end of it (something John Hawkins noted when the story broke […]

Barney Frank is certainly one of the most contemptible figures in Congress. He’s corrupt, hypocritical, sanctimonious, habitually dishonest, and is one of the people who is most personally responsible for the economic crisis we’re in today. Still, although Barney Frank is certainly one of the most loathsome figures in the history of American politics, ads […]

Nina Fedoroff, who was carried over from the Bush Administration to the Obama Administration in the State Department and is admittedly, a brilliant scientist, is telling the BBC we have too many people on the planet, Nina Fedoroff told the BBC One Planet programme that humans had exceeded the Earth’s “limits of sustainability”. Dr Fedoroff […]

At long last, I’ve finally gotten around to reading Ann Coulter’s latest tome, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America. So far, the book has been outstanding and I would highly recommend it. As fans of Ann Coulter’s books know, she has made a name for herself by throwing bombs, but she is also […]

There’s some discussion about this clip where Christopher Hitchens intellectually eviscerates Mos Def on Bill Maher’s excreable TV show. Some see a case of racism. Says James Joyner: While I agree entirely that this is an absurd pairing, it’s most definitely not a racist one. Sandefur has apparently never seen “Real Time with Bill Maher.” […]

Say, what’s wrong with sitting on a council with such bastions as of human rights support as China, Iran, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, and others, and is anti-semetic? The Obama administration decided Tuesday to seek a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council, reversing a decision by the Bush administration to shun the United Nations’ premier […]

Many of you have seen my recent debates with Leftists on YouTube. If you haven’t, let me explain what I am talking about: One of the largest channels on YouTube, TheAmazingAtheist, made a video attacking me. This resulted in 1000s of emails and hate comments directed at me in a matter of an hour. He […]

Let’s play “Name That Party Affiliation!” Convicted ex-lawmaker cries, grateful to Sparkman crowd The people started rolling into Sparkman Middle School and getting in line Sunday at 1:45 p.m. in the school’s gymnasium. The tears soon followed – many of them from former state Rep. Sue Schmitz of Toney. The people – and the tears […]
