Lois Gets A Pass.

I'm Shocked. Shocked!

OK, not really.

She may have, y'know, broken the law, but she did it for the right reasons. And besides, nobody really cares if it hurt some anti-government, teabadgger, Christianists in flyover-country. It wasn't like they wanted someone to bake them a wedding cake....

It's Time For John Boehner To Go.

We do not need a return to the GOP dhimmitude mindset of pre-1992. We cannot afford it. This country cannot survive it. Please Rep. Boehner, for the good of this nation, hand the Speaker's gavel over to someone who has a spine. Now.

Times Sells The Globe. Paul Krugman Hardest Hit.

The next time the The New York Times lectures us proles on how to run a successful business, remember - they suck at business:
The sale, for $70 million, would return the paper to local ownership after two decades in which it struggled to stem the decline in circulation and revenue. The price would represent a staggering drop in value for The Globe, which The Times bought in 1993 for $1.1 billion, the highest price paid for an American newspaper.
You buy in at $1.1 billion and sell at $70 million... Let's figure the profit here: nothing from nothing, carry the nothing...

If This Is True, Then James O'Keefe Is An Douchebag.

I am A Tea Party, South Park Republican.  And there is no doubt James O'Keefe has done more than anyone to expose the hypocrisy and criminality of The Left / Mainstream Media in these last five years. He has gone after the truth where no one else would dare.

But this goes WAY beyond the pale. This wasn't about exposing abuse or fraud by the Democrats and their hangers on. This appears, from what the article indicates, to be a petty, personal vendetta.

Jim Letten is a friend of mine. He is, without a doubt, one of the finest and most honorable men I have had the pleasure to know. Know his wife and kids, too. And for O'Keefe to try to embroil them in his anger is not 'guerilla journalism'.  It is simply despicable. Despicable.

One correction, though, is necessary.  The article's insinuation that O'Keefe's ACORN videos were not accurate is bullshit.  They were no more "selectively edited" than a 60 Minutes expose video is "selectively edited".  Plus, O'Keefe released the full raw feed which backed the up his conclusion.  Ever see Morley Safer do that?

Hang On - Quality, Affordable Helath Care is Just Around The Corner.

Obama promised.  And when it arrives, you can expect things like this to get worse.  They always do in a plan/command system.  Plus, it will cost you and me, the productive class, a whole lot more in order to make it "affordable".

The Agitprop Decimal System.

Team Hopenchange wants to make sure derelict porn surfers, bums, and elementary kids who are researching their school reports, are signed up for ObamaCare. They're recruiting your local librarian into another pro-Obama fifth column, this time paid for with your local taxes:

The nation’s librarians will be recruited to help people get signed up for insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. Up to 17,000 U.S. libraries will be part of the effort to get information and crucial computer time to the millions of uninsured Americans who need to get coverage under the law…

I just love this part:

Libraries will be particularly important in conservative states that are not making much effort to promote the health law’s opportunities.

Libraries are local entities.  They are not an arm of the Federal government.

People, People - Calm Down.

To my Lefty friends:   No, the Supremes yesterday did not disenfranchise blacks and make them non-citizens.

To my friends on the Right:  No, the Supremes did not just make gay marriage legal in all 50 States.

Please read the opinions, and understand the issues at play, before you get all hot and bothered.

A Billion Dollars Is a Tradgedy; A Trillion Dollars Is Merely A Statistic.

Think back, dear readers, to the heady days of the 2008 presidential campaign. Remember when candidate Obama and his devotees on the Left / Mainstream Media called W's deficits fiscally irresponsible and unsustainable? Remember how they promised that Obama would put our financial house in order, if we but believed in a whole lot of vague, generic promises of hope and change we can believe in?

Well, here's what that hope and change we can believe in looks like in real terms:

In 2007, Bush's irresponsible and unsustainable deficit for the fiscal year was $244 billion. In a year.

Last month - yes, I said month, President Obama ran up the the deficit $233 billion. Two hundred thirty-three B-I-L-L-I-O-N dollars.

In a month. (And it was the shortest month of the year, too! -ed.)

If you read further in the article, you'll see Obama and his buddies say that they will accept no more than $6 billion in domestic spending cuts next year. A 0.00193% reduction. Yep. That's Hopenchange leadership for you.

We're not only going to hell in a hand basket, Obama is borrowing the hand basket from the Chinese.
