MORNING LINKS ITEM: Stories from the Great Depression. This is a good read to remind ourselves that (Robert Reich notwithstanding) we Americans continue to live in unprecedented abundance: In the summer, I took a washtub and put it on a little scaffold out near the chicken house and put burlap sacks around it to make […]
MORNING LINKS –first two are bumped from overnight links Item: (April Fool’s joke): The 2010 All New Omobile! ITEM (ah, if only it weren’t a joke): Obama forces GM chief out, puts Reid, Pelosi on leave ITEM (not a joke, but wouldn’t it be ironic?): Penn State researchers have discovered how to use microbes to […]
I’ve been swamped with work (always a good thing), which is why my morning link roundups haven’t been here the past few days. Plus I was getting a bit discouraged at just how rapidly the handbasket seems to be plunging towards hell. Woooooooot! Well, I tried to make it Sunday But I got so damned […]

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 . . . […]
Links worth reading: Democrats try to rebrand earmarks as good government. Not a surprise, since they’re also trying to rebrand trillion-dollar deficits as good economics. And speaking of good government, Rep. Charlie Rangel responds to direct questions about his tax issues. Robert Samuelson weights in on Obama’s approach to the economic crisis: Confidence (too little) […]
Tuesday morning links
First off, don’t miss Henderson’s analysis of the pending missile shot by the North Koreans.
