Stimulus? Nope: Pork. Democratic Party Congress Blowing It

Here’s one take on it.  Excerpt:

If candidate Obama had posted this $1 trillion-plus hodge-podge of new spending and tax pork on his website and had vowed to make its enactment his #1 priority, would things have turned out as they did on Election Day?
 
Is it even remotely conceivable that Obama would have won the support of [...]

The Government You Pay For

From Iain Murray on The Corner:
In fact, it seems that the model we are following is this one: government and lobbyists use regulation and innovation to stop the market from innovating; government and lobbyists perceive need for that market innovation; government pays market to implement innovation by paying costs of regulation and litigation from taxpayer funds; [...]

More “Blame the Boomers!”

Still Via Instapundit:
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: “If anyone wished to know what the baby-boomer generation would do when, in its full maturity, it hit its first self-created, big-time recession, I think we are seeing the hysterical results. After two decades of unprecedented economic growth, rampant consumer spending, and unimaginable borrowing to satisfy our insatiable appetites, we [...]

Baby Boomers!!

Apparently, I’m not the only one feeling a little irked:
TIGERHAWK: “Having been a target of commercial opportunity during its entire sentient existence, the Baby Boomer generation’s lasting legacy may well be to have been the first American generation to have consumed more, or at least as much, as it has produced. . . . If [...]

Farewell to Herman Edwards

Good article.
Excerpt:
There was never a coach more loyal to an organization than Herm Edwards was with the Chiefs, and even when he disagreed with the powers-that-be, he made as much lemonade as he could out of a bunch of old and rotting lemons.  Edwards was also not the stubborn coach everyone thought him to be [...]

Obama Headed Toward Failure as President

It’s early, I know, but here’s the deal:
1) He’s already talking down the economy, saying things are much worse than he expected, and it will take longer to recover.  That’s Loser talk.  That’s trying to find excuses before he even tries.  We elected him to be a leader, not to try and lower the bar [...]

A Question, Regarding Scholarship

I’ve started my Master’s in Strategic Intelligence.
Should I post my papers on this website, or not?  Would it encourage plagiarism, or not?  Would you be interested, or not?

CNN’s Pro-Obama Bias

Within a 15-minute time span on CNN, I saw:
1) Obama Inauguration T-shirts being hawked by CNN (“I watched it on CNN!”, so it was as much about CNN as Obama, but still…)
2) A “reporter” said that President Bush hadn’t carved his initials anywhere in the White House…at least as far as she knew (she grudgingly [...]

Ken Blackwell

I’d never heard of him before, but he just gave me a call.
From what the survey sounded like, he sounds like a guy I could support.
Here’s his wiki entry.
You can call 1-888-212-5431 and his supporters will give you the phone number of a Republican National Committee Chairman you can call to tell that you support [...]

Too Busy To Piss People Off

Sorry, folks.  I’ve been as busy as an old rural dweller trying to come up with a new colorful colloquialism about being busy to flummox city slickers (and that’s pretty busy!).
As such, I haven’t had time to go off on rants about the the unintentional evils of liberals, Democrats, and GM.
I even had to resort [...]
