Did your salary nearly double this year? No? Well then, you and your employer probably didn’t help get Obama elected. MSNBC and Keith Olbermann did, and Keith Olbermann has been handsomely rewarded for his efforts. Prior to GE (parent company of MSNBC) receiving bailout funds, Olbermann earned – and I use that word loosely...
Disconnecting the training wheels is a scary prospect for every apprentice biker, even with Daddy standing close by. We can sympathize with Barack Obama’s fright as his moment approaches. It’s not easy suddenly being on your own, paying the price of falling with your own skinned knees and bruised elbows. Nevertheless, the dreadful moment...
This is so sweet. Michelle Obama said that “nothing is more fulfilling than community service.” That’s easy to say for a woman who pulled in six figures after her husband landed a US Senate seat. Although the first lady worked at Public Allies until 1996, her most recent position was as executive vice president...
This is too good to pass up. It’s got to be Karma. The House majority leader reluctantly agreed Tuesday that congressional hearings should investigate Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s assertion that she wasn’t informed, more than six years ago, that harsh interrogation methods were used on an Al-Qaeda leader. Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., called Republican challenges...
Carrie Prejean spoke to Sean Hannity about Donald Trump’s decision to allow her to keep her Miss California title. Too bad Trump also said he would be happy if Perez Hilton were a judge again. This whole episode just goes to show who the truly intolerant ones are in our society. In part 2...
Former Vice President Dick Cheney sat down with Neil Cavuto for an in-depth interview this afternoon. The thing I love about Dick Cheney is how absolutely calm he is: even when discussing his outrage over the Obama administration’s threats against former justice department lawyers and others in the Bush administration. Cavuto asked him about President Bush’s...
This book review was posted in July 2008. Much has changed since then, and not for the better. Our federal budget and deficits have exploded under President Barack Obama. If you’ve already read Mr. Yarrow’s Forgive Us Our Debts you probably weren’t the least bit surprised by today’s news regarding the unsustainability of Social Security....
The Obama administration’s thuggish tactics used against the auto companies and their investors is already paying dividends. At least when it comes to intimidating other industries to jump into bed with them. It seems that’s what happened with the health insurance industry. That’s a decision they will probably live to regret, but who knew...
The last thing Americans need during a recession is climate change legislation. And it isn’t a group of right wingers saying that, it’s the Obama administration. Advice in an Obama administration interagency review memo to the Environmental Protection Agency warns that government regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act (CAA) will hurt...
This is so typical. (emphasis mine) President Obama’s call last year for “shared sacrifice” doesn’t extend to federal employees, at least based on the details of his administration’s 2010 budget released this week. At a time when the official unemployment rate is nearing double digits, and 6.35 million people are receiving unemployment benefits, the...
Democrats are growing increasingly desperate for revenue to fund Obama’s promise of health coverage for all Americans. So desperate, in fact, they are considering taxing soda – a proposal which New York Governor David Paterson had to drop after an uproar by New York’s citizens. The taxes would pay for only a fraction of the cost...
There’s never a dull moment in politics these days. As it should be. The Founders wanted spirited debate. But there’s just something wrong when it comes to political debate these days. The other day a friend of mine asked me how I can stand the nasty and hateful comments directed my way by the lefties and...
To anyone paying attention it should be abundantly clear that President Obama’s rhetoric does not match his actions. He promised a new kind of politics – bipartisan and transparent. What we’re getting is thuggery and secrecy. He promised fiscal responsibility - what we’re getting is red ink – more red ink than we’ve seen since...
