MID-MORNING LINKS [updated as I run across them] ITEM: It turns out there’s at least one thing that the Communist Chinese government and I agree upon: China alarmed by US money printing The US Federal Reserve’s policy of printing money to buy Treasury debt threatens to set off a serious decline of the dollar and […]
I predicted he would be gone Saturday afternoon for several reasons. Now, PajamasMedia is reporting that he resigned this evening and the press release went out shortly have midnight (ET). Hard to bury it much more deeply than that. As I noted in my post, this will give the mainstream media an excuse to ignore […]
Sandra and I attended a brunch today, hosted by Dan Blatt of GayPatriot.net here in downtown Denver. There were eleven of us in all there, and the discussions were all quite interesting. Dan’s a screenwriter in west LA; at one point, he said that the tricky part of living there is not indicating that he’s […]

[UPDATED 09/05/09 — 2311 MDT] Hey, I was right, mostly. He resigned Saturday evening, and the White House did their best to bury the news by releasing it after midnight (ET). [UPDATED 09/06/09 — 0627 MDT] And I was exactly right about this statement at the end of my original post: The real question is […]

…he’s done. After his less-than-convincing apology and disclaimer about signing a 9/11 “truther” petition in 2004 — which he says he didn’t read carefully and does not agree with — something new has emerged. Gateway Pundit points us to the Rense.com website (get the page before it vanishes!) where we find Mr. Jones involved in […]

OK, this Obama cult of personality is getting a wee bit out of hand. I don’t begrudge his supporters waxing rhapsodic about his many virtues (as they see them), but this whole nationwide address to students — and the accompanying letter from EdSec Arne Duncan to teachers and administrators — is getting a bit too […]
Gateway Pundit has this wonderful but unsurprising video of an HCAN organizer handing out signs for a health care town hall meeting and explaining how to shout down and block media coverage of those raising questions about Obamacare. Here are some of the things the organizer says: Be civil but block. So if they stand […]
While many recent poll numbers are looking better and better for the Republicans, here’s a wake-up call from Rasmussen: Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republican voters say their party’s representatives in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters nationwide over the past several years. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 18% of […]
Conservatives have long complained that liberals screaming about “massive cuts” in government programs are actually talking about reducing the hard-wired growth of spending — that is (for example), a plan to limit the year-over-year growth of a welfare program to, say, 8% instead of 10% is a “cut”. With that context, I guess you can […]
