In Defense of the CIA
I’m speaking specifically of the attack on the Bowers family back in April 2001. You can read the whole CBS News report here. A few notes. The family was, sadly, traveling through Peruvian airspace apparently known for drug smuggling. According to the audio and video of the mission, no flight plan had been submitted as [...]
Unbelievable: Obama Admin Pays $2.5 Million for Census Ad
4. February 2010
Yes, the federal government is running an Census commercial during the Super Bowl, at a cost of $2.5 million to the American taxpayers. Because someone in the federal government evidently thought he was working for Budweiser. Taxpayers might want to pay close attention to this Sunday’s Super Bowl broadcast or they’ll miss Uncle Sam’s 30-second, [...]
Again: New Jobless Claims Rise “Unexpectedly”
4. February 2010
Really? How many times are the media and its sources going to be shocked by rising unemployment figures? I was more shocked by water being wet this morning than learning the number of new jobless claims rose…again. The number of newly laid-off workers filing initial claims for jobless benefits rose unexpectedly last week, evidence that [...]
Justice Department Seeks to Hire Mentally Retarded Lawyers
4. February 2010
You’d think I’m kidding. But I’m not. The Justice Department is actually seeking to hire mentally retarded lawyers. The Civil Rights Division encourages qualified applicants with targeted disabilities to apply. Targeted disabilities are deafness, blindness, missing extremities, partial or complete paralysis, convulsive disorder, mental retardation, mental illness, severe distortion of limbs and/or spine. Applicants who [...]
Powell Flips On Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
3. February 2010
He’s pretty much doing whatever Barack Obama is doing these days. This is a guy who supposedly opposed government intervention in the free market, made the case for invading Iraq, helped ratchet up the war on drugs, supports school vouchers and school choice, and advocated opening ANWR for oil exploration. And then went on to [...]
Federal Grant: $233,825 To “Explain The African Vote”
3. February 2010
For anyone looking to track how the $787 billion “stimulus” package is being spent, I completely recommend StimulusWatch.org. You can find out more about who’s behind this wonderful project here. Stimulus Watch exposes both worthwhile and wasteful programs, but you’ll find most of the federal funds are going towards wasteful programs. Like this one: Project [...]
Dems To Ram Through Union Crony for NLRB
3. February 2010
Senate Democrats intend to ram through the nomination of union crony Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board prior to the seating of Senator-elect Scott Brown (R-MA). Becker’s confirmation will lead to the implementation of a backdoor “card-check”. Republicans have been able to hold up his nomination thus far, but it’s expected that Becker [...]
Obama: Ignore the Media and Blogs
3. February 2010
Why? Because criticism of his agenda can get across on those mediums. So it’s time for all good Americans to turn off the network news, delete those blogs from your bookmarks, and just listen to what Barack Obama and his allies have to say. “If we could just — excuse the press — turn off [...]
GM-Owning Government Demands Americans Stop Driving Toyotas
3. February 2010
The United States government, which owns 61% of automaker General Motors, is insisting that Americans stop driving their Toyotas entirely after the recent recall. Toyota and GM, along with union-owned Chrysler, are major competitors in the American market. LaHood’s warning came Wednesday in testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee on transportation. LaHood says his advice [...]
Las Vegas Mayor: Obama’s An Idiot
3. February 2010
I’m paraphrasing. Oscar Goodman, former Democrat and current independent, actually called His Majesty “a real slow learner”. And for good reason. This is the second time Obama has publicly vilified economic activity in Las Vegas — the economic engine of Nevada, home to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). Reid is already struggling to hold [...]
