To Put the Bailout Into Perspective…
Barry Ritholtz has run the numbers to put this whole bailout into perspective. Adjusted for inflation, here’s a rundown of costs for major government expenditures throughout our nation’s history: Marshall Plan: $115.3 billion Louisiana Purchase: $217 billion Effort to Get to the Moon: $237 billion S&L Crisis: $256 billion Korean War: $454 billion New Deal: [...]
Osama Driver Released from Gitmo
25. November 2008
Technically he’ll be sent to Yemen to serve the rest of his sentence, according to an official speaking anonymously, but I’m not holding my breath on that. Terrorists have a funny habit of, er, “escaping” there. Former Osama bin Laden driver Salim Hamdan is being transferred from the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, [...]
And Now for Your Headline of the Day…
21. November 2008
“Obama to Tap Clinton After Thanksgiving” It doubles as today’s “Image You Could’ve Lived Your Whole Life Without”. Via Ace.
Obama Pitches for 2016 Chicago Olympics
21. November 2008
I’m surprised that the Messiah actually has to ask for them. On a serious note, the Windy City is competing against Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo. I’m not even going to pretend to understand the bidding process, but is currently in third place as far as the IOC’s evaluation goes. Soldier Field would serve [...]
Obama Adviser: It Might Take More Than One Term to Fix Economy
21. November 2008
As Allahpundit says, if the economy isn’t fixed by the end of his first term, the Obama administration won’t have to worry about fixing it beyond that. He’ll no longer be in office.
NYT: Clinton to Accept SoS Position
21. November 2008
If the report is true, I’m relatively shocked. I honestly thought that she’d position herself in a leadership position in the Senate and head the left’s push for socialized health care. Hillary Rodham Clinton has decided to give up her Senate seat and accept the position of secretary of state, making her the public face [...]
Time for Your Terrorists Apologia of the Day
21. November 2008
I’m no longer surprised at the Associated Press writing apologetic articles for terrorists. Here’s the latest, where it discusses just how gosh-darn nice those Somali pirates are. Did you know they provide catering for their hostages? MOGADISHU, Somalia – Somalia’s increasingly brazen pirates are building sprawling stone houses, cruising in luxury cars, marrying beautiful women [...]
Pathetic: Schools Already Being Name for Obama
21. November 2008
Could we at least wait until, oh I don’t know, Obama’s actually inaugurated before naming public schools after him? The infatuation with a man who’s yet to accomplish a single thing as president, or even become president, is sickening. It was only a matter of time. A New York school has been renamed in honor [...]
No, Bush Wasn’t “Snubbed” At G20
21. November 2008
CNN’s Jeanne Moos investigates the video making rounds on the internet, The Daily Show, and even CNN itself. It purports to show President Bush being “snubbed” at the G20 meeting because he’s not shaking hands with world leaders while the other leaders are. Jon Stewart mocked it and the lefty blogosphere ran with it. CNN’s [...]
Inspector General: Joe the Plumber’s Files Improperly Searched
21. November 2008
No shit, sherlock. The Obama supporter’s punishment for improperly searching a private citizen’s records to provide fodder for the media and her candidate? A month of unpaid vacation. Oh, and Ohio’s Governor is standing by her. Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland is standing by an agency director who OK’d improper computer checks for confidential information on [...]
