How to read the Chinese about their Nork protest?

When China joins the US & Japan to protest a Nork nuke test, one has to pay attention.

(Reuters) – North Korea conducted its third nuclear test on Tuesday in defiance of existing U.N. resolutions, drawing condemnation from around the world, including from its only major ally, China, which summoned the North Korean ambassador to protest.

The reclusive North said the test was an act of self-defense against “U.S. hostility” and threatened further, stronger

You better believe this is plain Chicago style retaliation

The WSJ had an article the other day pointing out that the DOJ sued Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services late Monday under the idiotic pretense that S&P did something wrong during the social engineering induced housing crisis. From the short article:

The Justice Department sued Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services late Monday, alleging the firm ignored its own standards to rate mortgage bonds that imploded in the financial crisis and cost investors billions.

The civil

Some prespective, while they celebrate

If you remember the howling from the press and the left when Boosh was “destroying our country” with those once evil tax cuts for the rich, massive and out of control spending, insane wars, and horrible violations of our rights, you are going to really be scratching your head when you find out that now that things are worse, they don’t care much. We are now

New higher education model in dire need, and for many good reasons (Updated)

With a kid that is graduating high school this year and going through this gauntlet, I can not stress how much I agree with the article titled our universities must stop charging so much, delivering so little and sending our kids into lifelong debt and the lessons it is imparting. Lets take a look here:

Universities charge too much, deliver too little and channel too many students into a lifetime of debt. Genuine reform requires

One set of rules for thee, another for us liberal elites…

Remember David Gregory violating the D.C. gun ban and showing an illegal clip that has sent countless other people to jail on TV? Well, apparently these laws that apply to common citizens do not apply to the liberal elites.

BC’s David Gregory is off the hook for showing a high-capacity gun magazine on “Meet the Press” and will not be prosecuted, D.C.’s attorney general announced on Friday.

How tragic that we need to be lectured on this simple principle

It is absolutely tragic to me that Americans have to be reminded by people that have first hand experience of the very problems our 2nd amendment was supposed to protect us from of how wrong it is to bow down to the wishes of the tyrannical:

This will probably come as a total shock to most of my Western readers, but at one point, Russia was one of the most heavily armed societies on earth.

This is why I refuse to “discuss” anything with the gun grabbers

Their brilliant idea? Well, since it stands in the way of the enlightened left’s agenda (that’s tyrannical shit for sane people), dump the constitution! The problems we have today are not the fact that stupid fucking assholes think they can override the laws of economics and human nature with their fantasies, the out of control spending by a political class that buys its power and grows it through that mechanism, and certainly not the … Read more

If the guy in the WH had an “R” next to his name…

We would be bombarded nonstop with stories how this was his fault:

Nearly two months after homes in Staten Island, NY were devastated by Hurricane Sandy, residents say they’re still struggling with red tape as they try to get the government to help.

FEMA “really hasn’t done much, if anything, and they’re making people go through a whole bunch of bureaucratic tape,” one resident told MRCTV.

‘They need all the help they can get,

I told you so…

Well, I am going to revel in the “I told you so moment”, but yet another study asking the question”Did the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Lead to Risky Lending?“, reports that:

Yes, it did. We use exogenous variation in banks’ incentives to conform to the standards of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) around regulatory exam dates to trace out the effect of the CRA on lending activity. Our empirical strategy compares lending behavior

A parallel to ponder – watch the video in the update

I have been paying attention at the odious political attempt by the left to, like ghouls, use the tragedy of Newtown to do what “Fast & Furious” failed to provide them with: an opportunity to shit all over the second amendment. The left’s idiotic and totally emotional and hypocritical argument, repeated ad nauseum, is that if guns, especially any firearm that the left likes to lump into the totally misunderstood category of automatic … Read more
