Unhinged — Secret Door

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Watch these videos from St. Louis. All are good, but I love “Secret Door.” “Exit Interview Frustration” is also good. Sharp Elbows St Louis!

Stupid GOP

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

They still do not get it: Now it may be that these are essential fact-finding missions for the lawmakers in question and, in the latter case, their wives, but if the GOP is to rebuild its credentials (and yes, they badly need rebuilding) as the party of fiscal prudence, a reputation that could be an [...]

The Economy: Looking Back and Forward

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Power Line: The current recession is a relatively bad one, but not yet as deep as the one that Ronald Reagan dealt with in his first term. Reagan reacted with tax cuts and more restrained regulation, and the economy responded magnificently. It is hard to understand how anyone can look objectively at data concerning the [...]

Smile! You’re On Government Camera!

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

This is Freedom? Complaining about the government these days? Take a number — and give them your driver’s license and Social Security number while you’re at it. And don’t forget to smile pretty for the camera. While our Freedom is God-given, our government is working overtime to take it away.

From The Daily Record: A mum suffering chest pains died in front of her young son hours after being sent home [...]

What Congress Keeps Forgetting

They work for us. Not the other way around.

End of Life Counseling: By A Bureaucrat

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Wonderful, just Wonderful: For those who didn’t like my post on how the end-of-life counseling provision in the health-care bill could never, ever, ever, turn into something less innocuous, cross the federal government’s heart, you must read this column by the Washington Post‘s Charles Lane: Though not mandatory, as some on the right have claimed, [...]

“Stealth Care” Meetings

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

JammieWearingFool: It hasn’t been a good week for Congressional Democrats. Wherever they go, “angry mobs” of little old ladies and “mobsters in Brooks Brothers suits” pop up to ask inconvenient questions of them at town hall meetings, questions such as “why haven’t you read the bill you’re voting for?” Democracy can be messy, folks, which [...]
