Barack…my Pen pal
Barack…my Pen Pal Howard Houchen I believe it was late January 2009, a few days after the Obama inauguration, that it was announced by the fledgling White House Office of Propaganda (sorry, media relations team) the creation of the Middle Class Task Force. The Official Communiqué informed me that America’s new President was so concerned with [...]
Oh My: Dem Ad Attacks Palin, Crist For Leaving Terms Early
17. July 2009
It’s simply irresponsible for Governor Charlie Crist to leave his term early if he gets elected to higher office, says the party headed by former Senator Barack Obama, who resigned from his Senate term early after being elected to higher office. Except that, er, Crist hasn’t resigned. He hasn’t even discussed the idea of resigning [...]
Awesome: Larry Summers Claims Economy is Recovering Because Google Searches Are Down
17. July 2009
More specifically, Google searches on the term “economic depression” aren’t as popular as they were in the past. Apparently that’s indicative of the economy recovering. Isn’t it possible that people are just so used to this prolonged recession that they don’t need to Google such terms anymore? Or it’s gotten so bad that these things [...]
Video: GOP Exposes Obama’s Changing Rhetoric on Stimulus
17. July 2009
An excellent ad that Ed Morrissey says is running on MSNBC right now. If so, and I have no reason to doubt him, I’ll reconsider my personal boycott against donations to the Republican establishment. It’s effective and powerful, which is why it’s surprising that the GOP is running it. Watch as Barack Obama goes from [...]
Your Tax Dollars At Work: Feds Seek Humorists for Work Place
16. July 2009
I kid you not. The federal government is actually seeking to hire individuals to bring “humor” to the Treasury Department, apparently to stress the importance of “humor in the workplace”.When did The Onion and reality switch places? The Contractor shall conduct two, 3-hour, Humor in the Workplace programs that will discuss the power of humor [...]

Multiple blasts have rocked the Marriot and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta, killing at least four and injuring more. In fact, local media reports that the death toll has climbed to eight.

Biden: To Save the Nation from Bankruptcy We Need to Bankrupt It
16. July 2009
Behold the wisdom of the man first in line for the presidency. Something happens to Obama, this guy’s got the launch codes to the world’s most extensive nuclear arsenal and powerful military. Just a little something to help you sleep a night. “And folks look, AARP knows and the people working here today know, the [...]
White House: Stimulus Package Not Meant to Stimulate
16. July 2009
In which the left’s CYA spin reaches its lowest point to date, and this new achievement comes directly from the White House. Remember the old days when the $787 billion “stimulus” package was supposed to help the economic rebound, “save or create” millions of jobs, and Democrats were actually referring to it as the, er, [...]
Good News: Health-Care Bill Outlaws Private Insurance
16. July 2009
Those who currently have private insurance will apparently be grandfathered in, but no one else will be allowed to gain private insurance in the future. That would explain why Obama has only said that “if you have insurance you like now” you can keep it, while more honest Democrats concede that it’s a trojan horse [...]
Wow: 78% say health-care reform will likely raise taxes on middle class
16. July 2009
They’d be right, of course, but it’s surprising to see that large of a percentage fully understanding the financial implications for the middle class. Contrary to the left-wing spin that would have you believe the rich will simply pay for it and there will be no negative reprecussions for average Americans, 78% understand that there [...]
