Good News: 20,000 Surface-to-Air Missiles Missing in Libya
Hey, you know what you can use surface-to-air missiles to accomplish? The destruction of airliners. I’m sure terrorists have no interest in that, right? Oh, wait… U.S. officials had once thought there was little chance that terrorists could get their hands on many of the portable surface-to-air missiles that can bring down a commercial jet [...]
Ford Pulls Anti-Bailout Ad Following White House Pressure
27. September 2011
You must not criticize the administration’s policies. You’ve got too nice of a company there. It’d be a shame if something unfortunate were to happen to it. As part of a campaign featuring “real people” explaining their decision to buy the Blue Oval, a guy named “Chris” says he “wasn’t going to buy another car [...]
Big Obama Backer: Stop With the Class Warfare Already
27. September 2011
His name is Ted Leonsis, and he’s a major donor to the Democratic Party — including its chief, Barack Obama. He owns several sports teams, serves on the board of several companies, and has even produced movies. He’s also a big player in Democratic politics. In fact, he’s already maxed-out his contributions to Barack Obama [...]
Palin’s Lawyers Threaten to Sue Publisher of “The Rogue”
26. September 2011
Sounds like attention-seeking bluster to me. It’s very, very difficult to meet the threshold necessary to win a defamation lawsuit involving a high-profile public figure (one who is a political nonetheless). Otherwise we’d have Team Obama suing every conservative blogger and talk radio host into oblivion and shutting down dissent through litigation. Team Palin cites [...]
EPA: Hey, How About $21 Billion to Fund 230,000 New Bureaucrats?
26. September 2011
Hey, how about “no”. The Environmental Protection Agency has said new greenhouse gas regulations, as proposed, may be “absurd” in application and “impossible to administer” by its self-imposed 2016 deadline. But the agency is still asking for taxpayers to shoulder the burden of up to 230,000 new bureaucrats — at a cost of $21 billion [...]
Obama’s “Randomly-Selected” Questioner is a Major Democratic Donor
26. September 2011
What a coincidence! Obama just happens to randomly select a wealthy, major Democratic donor who just happens to spout-off Democratic talking points about taxing the “rich” more. Ace has the list of donations: $10,000 to the Ohio Demo Party in 2010 $7,500 to John Kerry in 2004 $500 to the DNC Services Corp in 2004 [...]
Comedian Dennis Miller Endorses Herman Cain
26. September 2011
It’s been a good few days for Georgia businessman Herman Cain, founder of Godfather’s Pizza and candidate for the Republican nomination. First he won the Florida Republican straw poll by a staggering margin, garnering tons of free media attention and a revival of interest in his candidacy. Now he’s picking up endorsements from non-establishment, rougher-type [...]
Hallmark Unveils Layoff, Recession Cards
26. September 2011
Sign of the times. FRANKLIN – In the business of selling sentiments, there’s a card for everything, from traditional occasions to unique needs: cards with sound, cards for holidays, cards for losing a tooth. But losing a job? Yes, now there’s a card for that too. Hallmark recently rolled out a new line of layoff [...]
Proposal: End Both Abortion and the Death Penalty
26. September 2011
I’ve seen this one going around for a few days. It seems to pop up every now and then, especially following a “controversial” execution of a convicted murderer. Frankly, I’ve never understood how the same people outraged by the execution of a duly-convicted murderer can be so nonchalant about the termination of pregnancies. I get [...]
Senate Panel Eliminates Funding for High-Speed Rail
26. September 2011
It’s an older story (a few days ago) but I’d be remiss not mentioning the development. Obama wanted $8 billion next year and $53 billion through 2018 to build high-speed rail lines no one will use and we can’t afford. The Senate appropriations committee said, “How about no.” Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama’s [...]
