Clay Aiken Not Happy About Conservatives on Local School Board

13. November 2009

0 Comments

I can’t believe I’ve taken to caring about what a former American Idol contestant thinks about local school board elections. I’m pretty sure I’ve told someone to shoot me if I were to ever reach this point. And yet…here we are. The school board in question is that of Wake County, North Carolina. Apparently Aiken [...]

Four Steps To Creating New Jobs

13. November 2009

None of Rob Schwarzwalder’s four recommendations at the FRC Blog are radical; indeed, they’re common sense proposals dating back centuries and with a proven track record of success. But as we all know, common sense isn’t exactly rampant in Washington these days. So they’re worth repeating as often as possible. For starters, let’s stop spending [...]

Good News: October Deficit Worse Than Expected

Yeah, somehow I doubt this will help Democrats in their efforts to socialize America’s healthcare system. It’s difficult to sell Americans another deficit-exploding program on the heels of news that the current deficit is worse than even the White House had projected. Turns out that the federal deficit for October was around $176.36 billion, or [...]

Wonderful: Hasan’s Classmates Knew He Was A Radical

So let’s see. Not only did his business card list him as a “Soldier of Allah”… Not only did he openly express anti-American, pro-terrorist sympathies around colleagues… Not only did he present a lecture on how Muslims love death more than we love life… Not only did he send money to Pakistan… Not only did [...]

Poll: Majority Say Healthcare Not Government’s Responsibility

Well, this out to serve as a kick to the balls for supporters of a government take-over of healthcare. In a remarkable turn of events, a majority of Americans now say that it’s not the responsibility of government to provide for healthcare. Just three years ago, two-thirds of Americans believed that healthcare was the responsibility [...]

Craig to Resign as White House Counsel

13. November 2009

“Resign” actually meaning “thrown under the bus” in Washington speak. Expect him to say something about spending more time with his family or moving on to pursue interests in the private/non-profit sector. He’ll probably even throw something in about how grateful he is to President Obama for allowing him this opportunity to serve an important [...]

Obama: Hey, Let’s Blame Employers for the Failure of My Stimulus Package

13. November 2009

By all means. I mean, you don’t actually expect Barack Obama to take the blame for promising that his $787 billion stimulus wouldn’t allow unemployment to rise above 8% and that promise turning out to be false. The One can’t accept blame for the failure of his policies. There must always be someone else to [...]

Sending people to prison for failing to purchase health insurance the government demands is fair, at least according to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-emented). Have the ability to care for your own health without insurance the government mandates? Tough. You can rot next to Bernie Madoff in prison. Welcome to the era of Hope’N’Change, where government [...]

Which might help explain why, as Ed Morrissey says, he made $90,000 per year and yet still lived like a pauper. It would appear that the Fort Hood murderer (terrorist?) wired money to Pakistan, largely a sanctuary for Osama Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda colleagues. Authorities have been examining whether Fort Hood massacre suspect [...]
