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 […]

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 . . . […]

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 […]

We aim to please (most mostly we aim to hit) . . . MID-MORNING UPDATE: The FBI raids the office of the DC Chief Technology Officer, who is (or was) Vivek Kundra, who is now the new CTO for the Obama Administration. However, it appears that the focus is not on Kundra, but on two […]

First off, don’t miss Henderson’s analysis of the pending missile shot by the North Koreans. Opposition within Congress to the cram-it-through legislative approach of the Democratic leadership: “The process by which these changes have been forced upon this body is so deeply offensive to me, and so deeply undemocratic, that it puts the omnibus appropriations […]

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) […]
