I've done a courtesy search for the term listening in for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• The Next Bubble

  You remember the housing bubble, yes? One version of that narrative goes like so: homeowners are better off financially than renters; therefore we decided it would benefit the economy to subsidize housing through cheap loans, mandates, low interest rates, etc. — the “ownership society”; this mainly served to inflate housing prices and saddle millions of Americans with unaffordable debts; in 2008, it blew up in our faces to the tune of trillions of dollars.

• This American Lie

  NPR.Public Radio. Bastion of integrity. The radio network so nobel and so devoted to public service that we, the little people, have to fork over some of our tax dollars to support it.

  Oops!

  Apple got a lot of attention recently over conditions in the Chinese factories that make its iPhones and iPads. The public radio show “This American Life” aired an electrifying account of one man’s visit to several factories. The man was

• The Most Hated Woman In America?

  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

• More Of “The Man” Getting In Your Face

  It’s a fine line, but why is it so hard for the government to even come close to finding it?, Yes, in a civilized society where humans must coexist together, rules are needed. Modes of behavior while interacting with each other must be codified, for the good of the community. And with these rules, civil servants are created to enforce these rules, otherwise, they would never be followed. And with these “compliance officers” goes a … Read more

• Major Hasan, All Over Again

  Steve Jobs was not the only one that died in Silicon Valley yesterday, a cement truck driver went in to work and during morning coffee with his co workers, went on a shooting rampage, not stopping until he ran out of bullets:

  Shareef Allman arrived for his 4 a.m. shift Wednesday at the quarry a few minutes late, said good morning to the guys, and like he always did, poured himself a cup of

• The Tax Man Cometh

  Jesus. I think Obama has started listening to his Lefty base.

  President Obama will announce a plan on Monday to tame the nation’s rocketing federal debt that will draw a sharp contrast with the Republican vision and amount more to an opening play in the fall’s debate over the economy than another attempt at finding common ground with the opposing party.

  The president will propose $1.5 trillion in new tax revenues as part of

• Bring Back the Pundits

  The NYT has a little article today trying to “enter a pundit-free zone” by asking supposedly smart people what they would do if they were President. The opening paragraph — which castigates the media for focusing on stupid things like an election that’s 15 months away — is OK. But the result look like a collection of “What I would do if I were President” essays from grade school, only not as intelligent or informed.… Read more

• A war every lib can love..

  That’s class warfare, and Obama delivers big-time! I mean, BIGTIME! It’s no wonder we are now seeing things like this.

  Seriously, do the democrats get the fact that even if most Americans would have let them get away with ripping of the productive off in good times, that now, when so many need jobs, this stuff is not just resented, but angers most people? Guess not. If there was only a strategic … Read more

• Monday Music Mix

  Alright kids, ready for something a little different? How about a regular once a week music post, someplace where you can showcase what has got your toe to tapping lately?

  When Lee was still running the show he started a somewhat regular thread called ,”What’s on your ipod?”, commenters could flash some of their music chops and share what moves them, it was a great way to get exposed to stuff you might not listen … Read more

• Debate Thoughts

  I sort of watched tonight’s debate, joining in about half an hour in and catching up on my RSS feed while listening. Here are a few thoughts. First, the candidates:

• Herman Cain seems to have peaked. He wasn’t nearly as persuasive as he was in the last debate and he had difficulty on the Muslim loyalty question. He really needed to stand out tonight and he didn’t.
• Michelle Bachmann is a serious candidate — far … Read more
