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

• Outbreak

  I occasionally like to take a break from my regularly scheduled programming to give a laurel and hardy middle finger to the anti-vaccine movement. Here is yet another reason to say, “Fuck you.”

  Last year was the worst year for measles in the U.S. in 15 years, health officials said Thursday.

  There were 222 cases of measles, a large jump from the 60 or so seen in a typical year. Most of the cases last

• 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

• A Made-Up People

  The Saturday Night Debate was a little more interesting than the previous debates have been. It was mostly between Gingrich and Romney. But while Romney easily punched out Bachmann, Cain and Perry, Gingrich got in some roundhouses of his own. Those of us who remember Gingrich’s vitriol from the 90′s (I grew up next to his district and have met him) were not surprised. He can be vicious, which is why he wore out his … Read more

• Peel It Slowly

  The religion of Islam, comedy gold. How great would it be if all those whacky Islamist were like the Amish, ya know, eccentric in their own ways but peaceful and rather endearing. Colloquial interactions are similar, instead of “thee’s” and “thou’s”, Muslims use “Jihad” and “death to America”, but they don’t quilt and would not know Shoe Fly Pie if they stepped in it. I’m trying to imagine a movie version of “Witness” with a … Read more

• Inequality gap got bigger under… Obama?

  Yup, you heard that right. In fact, it is even more damning because, well read for yourself:

  In his weekend radio address, President Obama decried that “over the past three decades, the middle class has lost ground while the wealthiest few have become even wealthier.” Although he was trying to leverage the Occupy Wall Street movement, the income gap has been a longstanding concern of his.

  During the 2008 campaign, Obama said, “The project

• More US Deaths In Afghanistan

  Here is a question for the group ,” Does anyone think that Afghan forces will ever be combat ready and able to defend their own country against the Taliban? Does anyone think that the Afghan people will gain the will and the desire instilled by nationalistic pride to fight for and protect their own nation? I ask these questions because if the answer is NO, to either, then what’s the point?

  At least 13

• Obama’s new “Get out the vote” plan will cost us all

  Unless you are living under a rock, you know Obama, desperate for votes, recently announced plans to make changes to the student loan program which they had already tampered with in 2009. What we are witnessing is an attempt by the left to create an equivalent system that they use to scare senior citizens into voting for them – Social Security – for the young generation. Have no doubt that anything they do, as has … Read more

• The Taibbi Plan

  Matt Taibbi, one of the key members of the More Clever than Smart Club, has an essay on what he would have OccupyWallStreet demand. It’s making the rounds. Let’s go through it. I’ve almost finished reading The Big Short, a book you really should read to understand the recent financial crisis. So this will serve two purposes: responding to Taibbi and talking about what I learned from Michael Lewis.

  1. Break up the monopolies.

• One promise Team Obama plans to keep..

  And that is to make us all pay a lot more for our electric utilities in order to push his stupid green agenda, which I remind you all produced such doozies as Solyndra and have cost the tax payers billions of wasted dollars, on an unwilling customer.

  Already weary of high gas prices and 9.1 percent unemployment, many Americans are about to get another kick in the wallet thanks to large increases in their electricity

• al-Awlaki Dead

  Anwar al-Awlaki just became the latest in what is becoming a pretty impressive tally for this Administration:

  A missile fired from an American drone aircraft in Yemen on Friday killed Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical American-born cleric who was a leading figure in Al Qaeda’s affiliate there, according to an official in Washington.

  Many of the details of the strike were unclear, but the official said that the drone fired a Hellfire missile and killed Mr.
