While the creation of 103,000 jobs in December may sound good after months and months of unemployment increases, the Associated Press reports that creation was actually weaker than expected.

Another 160 jobs and more defense infrastructure — gone. Because we can’t afford sufficient national defense when we have to fund massive entitlement programs and pork barrel spending. Constitutional responsibilities be damned when there are professional victim classes and other get-out-the-vote constituencies to reward with “free” government money. The details of Gates’ plan, announced Thursday, [...]

Ready for this one? I’m gonna throw a fast one at you, so hang onto your trousers: The national debt ceiling is a limit on the national debt.

It sounds like Obama himself didn’t break the law but the short rental was indeed illegal. So stop salivating at the mouth about fantasy impeachment charges, my fellow conservatives. It does beg a question: Obama is super-genius lawyer-man who attended Ivy League schools and even served as president of the Harvard Law Review. He’s also [...]
