Bailed-Out Banks On Verge of Collapse
Nearly one hundred banks bailed out by the federal government are on the verge of collapse, the Wall Street Journal reports. The ninety-eight banks received a combined total of more than $4.2 billion in taxpayer bailouts from the United States Treasury. When TARP was created in the heat of the financial crisis, government officials said [...]
White House Trying to Silence Talk of Death Panels
27. December 2010
Apparently the New York Times article highlighting Medicare’s new incentives for end-of-life-care planning has Americans concerned. Doctors will be paid to hold discussions with patients about end-of-life-care. You’ll recall a similar provision was removed from ObamaCare during the legislative debate after intense criticism. But this new provision is being imposed by the Obama Administration rather [...]
Taxpayer-Funded PBS Glorifies Socialist Cuban Health Care System
27. December 2010
But of course. Michael Moore is hardly the only lefty who admires Castro’s health care system. Liberals have long strived to convert the successful free market system here in the United States into a socialist alternative, whether their models are European or Cuban. Meanwhile, it’s not like PBS’ political bias was unknown. Remember Gwen Ifill, [...]
Palin Misremembers Invention of New Word
27. December 2010
Interesting. On last night’s episode of Sarah Palin’s Alaska, Palin said her invention of the word “refudiate” was the result of a simple typo in a Tweet from her Blackberry. Sounds simple and innocent enough. But… Before posting the word on her Twitter account, Palin verbally used the word on Fox News’ Hannity while talking [...]
Outgoing House Dem: China Stole the Election from Me, Or Something
27. December 2010
Funny, I recall big Chinese donors giving money to Democrats. And Democrats were more than willing to return the assistance. I never knew the Chicoms were big fans of the conservative Republicans who demonize public debt owned by the Chinese and warn about a rising China. Go figure. Defeated Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (N.H.) suggested [...]
Entitlements Will Consume ALL Tax Revenue by 2052
27. December 2010
Barring significant tax increases, federal spending on entitlement programs will consume all tax revenue by 2052. No money will be left over to fund legitimate constitutional functions like law and order and national defense. While many leftists will say the solution is to raise taxes, that would inhibit economic activity and further limit the ability [...]
Will Rick Perry Run for President in 2012?
27. December 2010
He sounds like a pretty strong “no”. “Not for me,” Perry said. “I happen to think that the governors are where the action is.” When pressed on whether that was a “definite maybe,” Perry shot back, “As a definite no, brother.” On the one hand, Perry was just named the new chairman of the Republican [...]
Shoveling the Global Warming: Snow Falls in Atlanta
27. December 2010
Atlanta. It’s the city’s first white Christmas since 1882. Hey, Al, we need to have a chat about this whole “global warming” thing. We have a few questions about it. Like, oh, where’s the warming? Oh, wait, don’t tell me: The fact it’s snowing in the south is actually further proof that the Earth is [...]
New Lefty Narrative: Obama’s So Humble, Doesn’t Like the Spotlight
26. December 2010
Really? Really? Now they’re just insulting our intelligence. And memory. “I think it speaks volumes about the man’s temperament,” said Robert Dallek, the presidential historian. “He doesn’t crave the spotlight the way some of these other presidents have. They needed to be constantly in the eye of the public; it propelled them into politics in [...]
Merry Christmas
24. December 2010
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I [...]
