It looks like the humanitarian “Kintetic Action” in Libya has not solved the problem. Instead of Gaddafi doing the inhumane stuff, the people that replaced him are doing more of the same!
Libya’s regular army and array of militias have been torturing loyalists of slain dictator Moamer Kadhafi, several of whom have been killed in custody, human rights groups charged on Thursday.
Amnesty International said that despite promises, Libya’s new rulers have made “no
It’s a good thing that Obama is cracking down on those evil corporations and rich people that owe back taxes and … oh, you’ve got to be kidding me:
A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of President Obama’s executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes. These people working for Mr. Fair Share apparently haven’t paid any share, let alone their fair share.
This not … Read more
A gem from my favorite writer that has a special resonance in this economy:
The elites who denounce poverty despise the poor. Their every high-minded, right-thinking “poverty program” proves this detestation — from the bulldozing of vibrant tenement communities to the drug law policing policies that send poor kids to prison and rich kids to rehab to the humiliation of food stamps and free school lunches to the loathsome inner-city public schools where those free
We keep hearing about the pugilistic attitude that prevails in Congress, they ain’t lying:
No commentary is necessary. Sometimes I wish they would go all Preston Brooks on each other. Waxman, another Californian in that Pelosi mold that they forgot to break, is beyond weasily. But I was struck by the total and utter contempt that the chairman had for him. Ed Whitfield is my new hero.… Read more
Hi.
PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION.
Do I have your attention, dear reader? Each and every one of you? Good.
You do not, ever, get to decide what is or isn’t appropriate subject matter for this blog. I, and by extension those who write here as main page authors, get to do that. You do not get to decide who should comment or who shouldn’t. You do not get to decide what we talk about, … Read more
OK, “hate” might be a bit strong, how about the most hypocritical?
Sticking with that truism that you dance with the girl who brought ya, the president will not let go of that class warfare bone. The politics of envy and deflection, worked before, and since there are no magic bullets for what is ailing this economy (from a social European POV) making the rich pay their fair share is as old reliable.
But how … Read more
Remember Buffet’s poor secretary? Well when I was told she paid more income taxes than Buffet, my first question was “How much does she make?”. My wife has a friend that is a personal assistant to a real big-wig worth a lot of millions. She makes something around $65K a year – and she is one of the high earners in that field according to my wife – so she told me to assume Buffet’s … Read more
Fresh from his national ascension to prominence, kicking Obama ass all over the stage the other night, Mitch Daniels and Indiana is making more hay. Championing the cause of choice, letting workers decide for themselves by what conditions they are bound and by whom they are aligned, Indiana is on the cusp of making right-to-work “G” rated again:
In another blow to organized labor in the traditionally union heavy Midwest, Indiana is poised to
From the file full of things that make you say, “America … Fuck Yeah!”
U.S. Special Operations Forces stormed an outdoor encampment in Somalia early Wednesday, rescuing a kidnapped American aid worker and her Danish colleague and killing nine men who held them captive, officials said.
The Pentagon later confirmed reports that the rescue was carried out by the same Navy SEAL unit that found and killed Osama bin Laden — the Naval Special
This morning I was watching some post SOTU interviews to catch up on the reactions to the speech. I turned off the TV before the speech ended, because there is just so much bullshit I can take in one sitting, and went to bed, a more productive use of my time, by far. So there they had a panel discussing the aftermath, and on it was with some lady from some institute for progressive something … Read more
