Establishing the fallacy of goverment stimulus spending

Don Surber zooms in on the relevant portion of reality vs. hope-and-change. Obama and the Democratic Congress sold us on a horrific “stimulus” package with the threat of 9.0 % unemployment if they failed to act. They acted, and unemployment is now approaching 10% and may hit 12% next year. In the meantime, the national […]

And be sure to watch it all the way through, so you can see the slow-motion reply from different angles, not to mention the look on Djokovic’s face at the end, when he can barely keep himself from smiling at the impossibility of it all.  Hat tip to the Borderline Sociopathic Blog for Boys.  ..bruce […]

ITEM: Hat tip to Darleen at Protein Wisdom for the cartoon above. It’s not like China has apologized for killing 70+ million of its own citizens, recanted its policies,  or  changed governments. It’s the same bloody government, in all senses of the word. ..bruce w..

This wonderful chart, put up by Veronique de Rugy over at The American, is even better than the chart that I’ve used off and on for months to show the staggering deficit projections resulting from the Obama Administration unsustainable economic policies. As per de Rugy’s explanations, here’s what the color bars mean: the orange bars […]

ITEM — Creeping Socialism Alert: In spite of having the ‘public option’ option voted down twice in the Senate Finance Committee, apparently there’s still a chance that we could end up with it anyway. The Heritage Foundation outlines how the approach would work: So just how close are we to being inflicted with the Obama/Moore […]

ITEM: Milk prices have plummeted here in Denver over the past year. I used to spend close to $3/gallon for my favorite milk (Lucerne Skim Supreme Fat Free milk); now the price is around $1.60/gallon. It’s hurt the dairy farmers here in Colorado, and their response is to kill cows in order to reduce milk […]

From Gaius over at Blue Crab Boulevard: When George Bush was in office, Gadhafi surrendered his weapons programs. When Obama comes to power, he feels free to come to New York and lecture. That should tell you a lot about what the world thinks of Barack Obama. In my opinion, Pres. Obama is making the […]

Remember that old saying about never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel? It applies even more with someone with as solid a ‘net reputation as Michael Yon. The British Media Ops over in Helmand Province (where my nephew, USMC CPL Darren Green, is serving) ended Yon’s embed with the British […]

No, I’m not talking about “climate change”, though President Obama’s speech to the UN on the subject had some glaring and easily verifiable falsehoods. Instead, I’m talking about “shaken baby syndrome” (SBS), a well-known and well-established form of child death that results in about 200 murder/manslaughter convictions each year here in the United States. I […]
