I've done a courtesy search for the term we own this road 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.

• What to do when the left calls Romney an out of touch rich guy..

  Look, I am not very enthused about Romney, but that’s the guy that I am stuck with, and as I have repeatedly said, I would vote for anyone other than a child molester over Obama. However, the I am incensed by the left’s current attempt to create the narrative that Romney is an out of touch rich guy, and hence will do worse than the community organizer in chief and his cadre of crony capitalists, … Read more

• Best argument…

  About why what the left has been doing to us for the last century, whether you think it was meant to do good or not, is wrong, was made by Glenn H. Reynolds, he of Instapundit fame, here:

  The Constitution of the United States was supposed to create a federal government limited to the comparatively few powers specifically enumerated therein, mostly in Article I, Section 8. The idea was that the federal government would

• Big Business Liberals

  One of the most amazing things about our political system is that liberals and Democrats have a reputation as being the champion of the little guy and the foe of big business. You would think their enthusiasm for eminent domain and regulatory capture would disabuse us of this notion. But it persists. And, this month, we have another illustration of why their nobel reputation is entirely undeserved.

  The GOP Congress is trying, for once, to … Read more

• Grab Bag

  From time to time I will throw up a grab bag post, where many different events are covered, things that you can weigh in on. Some days there is lots going on and since I don’t feel like writing 5 separate posts (lazy? probably, but since the site host-we call him Ebeneezer-pays peanuts and keeps us all in working conditions where your average Bangladeshie sweat shop worker would say ,”no thanks”) ya get what ya … Read more

• F_CK WHO?

  A lot of responsibility, being avant garde, cutting edge, and just too damn sexy for your shirt. Being a pop star now days not only involves the requisite provocations, can’t let your talent stand on it’s own, but certain signed documents are necessary stating that if you are going to be a dick or a buffoon, open up your wallet:

  M.I.A.’s Super Bowl middle finger could potentially cost her in a big way. TMZ

• Thou Shalt Cover

  As I said on Twitter, the Obama’s administration’s ridiculous fight against the ministerial exemption — a fight they lost 9-0 in the Supreme Court — suddenly make sense:

  The Obama administration announced today it will wait for a year (coincidentally until after the elections) before requiring religious organizations to comply with an Obamacare mandate that they provide coverage for contraception — including controversial drugs that can abort an early pregnancy.

  This started with a

• The Year in TSA

  Hmmm. The TSA blog had a proud post up about their successes in 2011. Let’s go through the list and see how many involve terrorists, shall we?

  #10 was live animals caught in MIA and LAX. These were, um, not even weapons. And the smugglers were not terrorists.

  #9 was a science project that looked like an explosive. So, um, not weapons. And not a terrorist.

  #8 was a metallic martial arms spike. It was … Read more

• Yes, Minister

  SCOTUS is issuing rulings left, right and center. And today it issued an important one that was also a defeat for the Obama Administration:

  In what may be its most significant religious liberty decision in two decades, the Supreme Court on Wednesday for the first time recognized a “ministerial exception” to employment discrimination laws, saying that churches and other religious groups must be free to choose and dismiss their leaders without government interference.

  “The interest

• Recess Time

  Barack Obama has just made a recess appointment to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He’a also about to make appointments to the National Labor Relations Board. It’s fairly standard for Presidents to make recess appointments. And under Bush, it became standard when the Democrats obstructed appointments to open positions. There’s only one problem: the Senate is not in recess.

  Congressional Republicans were furious Wednesday after President Obama’s recess appointment of Richard Cordray to head
