Another Friday, another slew of bank failures. The state of Florida leads this week’s failure list with three banking institutions being turned over to the control of the FDIC. 1. Woodlands Bank of Bluffton, South Carolina. 2. First National Bank of the South of Spartanburg, South Carolina. 3. Metro Bank of Dade County of Miami, [...]
Good News: Carter’s NSA Now Using “Malaise” To Describe National Mood
16. July 2010
Dude, he actually used the word “malaise”. If you’re younger and don’t understand the relevance, see here and here. In short, it recalls Jimmy Carter’s downbeat speech that proved once and for all that he was an incompetent leader unworthy of another term. Quoth: It was an address in which he looked critically at himself [...]
Help Defend The Border Sheriffs
16. July 2010
Via Rich Lowry comes this worthy cause. Sheriffs for jurisdictions along the southern border have established a legal defense fund to help defend SB1070 — the anti-illegal immigration law in Arizona that’s under assault from the open-borders Obama Administration. You can donate financially here, join their Facebook page here, and follow them on Twitter here. [...]
Facebook’s Hypocrisy On Tolerance For Unpopular Views
16. July 2010
I’m a fan of just about everything Michael C. Moynihan writes. Which isn’t to say I agree with everything he writes, just that even the stuff I disagree with is brilliantly written. If you haven’t read his entry on Georgia’s Stalin museum you’re truly missing out. Today he again fails to disappoint. I hadn’t been [...]
Oh My: Murray Trails Republican Candidates in WA
16. July 2010
How can you tell that 2010 is shaping up to be a really bad year for Democrats? Senator Pat Murray (D-WA) is at risk of losing her seat in the reliably-blue Evergreen State. In fact, the latest poll shows the three-term incumbent losing to not one but two potential Republican challengers. Washington’s Senate race looks [...]
UK Gov’t On Lockerbie Bomber’s Release: Our Bad
16. July 2010
Turns out releasing a terrorist who murdered 270 innocent people back to his home country, where he is to be greeted as a hero, is a bad idea. Go figure. The new British Government is clear that Megrahi’s release was a mistake. The Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman said today that: “The Prime Minister at the [...]
Manchin Picks Crony For Open Senate Seat
16. July 2010
Governor Joe Manchin (D) has announced that he will appoint Carte Goodwin, his former chief counsel, to fill the United States Senate seat vacated by the death of Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV). Goodwin, supposedly the member of another influential West Virginia family, will be sworn-in later today. He will hold the seat until November, when [...]
Apple’s Fix: Free Cases For Customers
16. July 2010
So apparently the notoriously-flawed iPhone 4 won’t be recalled after all. Instead, customers will be provided with a free case to help deal with the “death grip” problem. Basically, the problem still exists. You still can’t handle the phone itself the way you could the older models. Apple is just willing to cover up the [...]
Video: House Democrat On Present-Day Countries of North And South Vietnam
15. July 2010
Did you know today we have both a North Vietnam and a separate South Vietnam? Neither did I. But renowned military historian Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) insists that that’s the case. In a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, the Texas Democrat applauds North and South Vietnam for today living in [...]
Specter Fishing For An Obama Administration Job
15. July 2010
This would help explain his sudden support for Elena Kagan in her pursuit of a Supreme Court confirmation. You know, the same Elena Kagan he voted against confirming for the less important and only temporary spot of Solicitor General. The man is shameless. Sources tell ABC News that Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Penn., has informed the [...]
