That big healthcare reform, a.k.a government takeover of healthcare so they can control another 1/6th of the economy thing, Nancy Pelosi told us we absolutely had to get passed, to figure out what would be in it, and would singlehandedly save our economy, by saving us tons of money, all based on what is absolutely the worst scoring requirements put together to make the ugliest pig look like the tastiest slab of bacon, isn’t going … Read more

Sleep On This
Getting kicked right in the face by your own knee jerk, welcome to that risk portion of capitalism. An ex Rush Limbaugh advertiser has had a come to Jesus moment and wants Rush back, but Elvis has already left the building, another pitfall from bowing to one group of consumers, another group (who also votes with their wallets) may not approve:
Today, The Rush Limbaugh Show rejected an overture from Sleep Train President Dale
Persuasive
A sure sign that the economy and life in general is not as bad as portrayed is the simple fact that people still find the time to complain about silly TV commercials. For my own self, and as a consumer, I understand the profit motive, the pull for my disposable income, the hook needed for my eyeballs. Capitalism is a cut throat business, a process whereby a Clausewitz style approach is adopted, total war on … Read more
Child’s Play
We have talked here before about that whole redistribution of wealth fallacy, the politics of envy, the ever more increasing occurrences of people surrendering their shot at the American dream, and the proposed larceny that the OWS crowd peddles, all in the guise of fairness (as if stealing from someone more enterprising and industrious and giving it to someone more lazy or ordinary qualifies as fair).
I found an interesting video the other day titled … Read more
Park Renovations
The OWS crowd could be classified as one of those biblical plagues we read about, as efficient as those locusts and frogs wrt destroying large swaths of real estate, take a look at what they have wrought at McPherson Square Park in Washington, DC.
You can tell by the positioning of James B. McPherson statue that the angle is somewhat different, but the affect is unmistakable.
I won’t go in to all the OWS nonsense … Read more
Some good news about another member of the LSM
On this first Friday in February I figured I would share some great news with you. There is justice in the universe. Yeah, they try to pretend the problem is that readers are ditching print for digital media, but that is like saying people are ditching arsenic and eating healthy. Most of us went digital because the LSM, which accounts for the bulk of the printed media output, simply isn’t worth the materials their … Read more
Oh, nooo!
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
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
The Fiefdom Of Daniels
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
