EARLY MORNING LINKS — they’ll still be brief, because I’m still busy ITEM: The mainstream media tells us how to cope with difficult times: eat more candy (NY Times), play more (USA Today). No, really. ITEM: Think of it as evolution in action: Josh Freeze comes up with a novel (and brilliant) tiered pricing structure […]
MORNING LINKS REMINDER: While I am happy (truly) to see the stock market rising after Sec’y Geithner unveiled his toxic asset plan, I have to always remember that the foundation of basic stock market transactions is the Greater Fool theory, namely, that if I pay $10 for a share of XYZ Corp, I do so […]
MORNING LINKS ITEM: Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse — The Drudge Report has the following as a developing story: Obama will call for increased oversight of ‘executive pay at all banks, Wall Street firms and possibly other companies’ as part of sweeping plan to ‘overhaul financial regulation’, NY TIMES reporting Sunday, newsroom […]
MORNING LINKS. ITEM: That didn’t take long: President Obama apologizes for his “Special Olympics” remark on the Tonight Show last night. In the meantime, the New York Times beclowns itself (hat tip to Strategy Memo at Real Clear Politics) by saying: “In his appearance with Mr. Leno, Mr. Obama walked a tightrope between projecting good […]
AFTERNOON UPDATES: ITEM: NASA Scientist and Moonbat Warmist James Hansen says that “The democratic process doesn’t quite seem to be working” with regards to climate change and is calling for protests and direct action (Wikipedia: “Direct action can include nonviolent and violent activities which target persons, groups, or property deemed offensive to the direct action […]
Does the phrase “going to Hell in a handbasket” mean anything to you? I’m starting this post on Tuesday evening, with “American Idol” on the background. I can hardly keep up with the gaffes, mendacity, and sheer idiocy coming from the Obama Administration and the Democratic Congress on a daily basis. And trust me when […]
. . . will be later today. Right now, it’s Tuesday morning, so it must be link time: President Obama’s War on Business continues. As I noted yesterday, I’m not happy with the AIG payout, but it is both unseemly and dangerous to have the President of the United States singling out and using taxpayer […]
. . . can’t trust that day . . . Obama & Company are trying to figure out how to get out in front of taxpayer anger rather than be the target of it. Good luck with that! On the other hand, if Obama had been honest before the election last fall . . . […]
I scan the web so that you don’t have to . . . Let’s see . . . the North Koreans . . . the Chinese . . . and now the Russians. Who’s going to be the next to challenge the new Obama Administration? Maybe Iran? And how will the Obama Administration respond? Oh, […]
First cut for a Friday (the 13th! again!) morning . . . Be sure to keep up to date with the North Korean missile launch via Henderson’s posts. Obama went to Germany during the election, and they return the love: “Obama Fingers“. Wait! I thought the idea was to nationalize health care, not throw veterans […]
