As expected, in reaction to the S & P downgrade, the stock market is taking a dive this Monday morning. In the midst of all this, I try to find some positive economic news to brighten my mood. It’s not there. The only thing I see is stupid piled on top of stupid. First bit […]
It’s here. It’s here. It’s here. And it’s here. Why do I keep hearing my own teen-age voice begging to borrow the car and screaming “I’m an Adult now!”. Look, the more you insist and feel you have to remind everyone you’re “the adult in the room”… It simply shows you are anything but! Democrats […]
That’s what White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says Obama is doing to help resolve the debt limit crisis. Judging from where we are today, and the nasty press conference he had to endure today, I’m thinking their strategy for bringing about “the optimum circumstances for a compromise” needs to be scrapped… And quick! The […]
Jennifer Ruben writes: A Republican aide e-mails me: “The Speaker, Sen. Reid and Sen. McConnell all agreed on the general framework of a two-part plan. A short-term increase (with cuts greater than the increase), combined with a committee to find long-term savings before the rest of the increase would be considered. Sen. Reid took the […]
The Palins, titled “Another Palin Pregnancy”: And in classic Palin fashion. Track’s bride looks more pregnant two months after her marriage than Sarah looked at allegedly eight months with Trig. But the family-for-abstinence keeps the show on the road. But when will Track join the crusade? Really… That’s what you got? The one member of […]

A lot of people are wondering where exactly President Obama got his statistical figure when yesterday he said this: “You have 80% of the American people who support a balanced approach. 80% of the American people support an approach that includes revenues and includes cuts. So the notion that somehow the American people aren’t sold […]
We often fault the main stream media for being overtly liberal concerning both it’s reporting point of reference and it’s editing choices. Sometime the criticism is unwarranted, but sometimes there is substance to it. Yesterday, I wrote about a blogger complaining that Republicans are not talking about jobs or the economy. I wrote this: It’s not that […]
This, from new and apparently, important, blogger Jonathan Rauch: The economy is tanking. The country may be about to default on the national debt. And what are the Republican political candidates debating? Gays. Because, you know, Republican candidates have NOT been talking about the poor economy and their solution for this whole time! Even non-candidates […]
* A push dedicated to creating yet another crime, of not reporting a child right away when it’s discovered that said child is missing. As if this happens often! Come on, do we really need yet another law? And some want to take this all the way to the Federal level. * A restaurant deciding […]
