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 […]

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) […]

One of the things that disturbs me the most about Pres. Obama’s campaign and his administration to date is that it appears to be accelerating the trend in US society towards entitlement and government benefits.

Here in Colorado, part of the 470 beltway is a toll road — E-470 — run by the surrounding counties and other regioinal authorities. If you have a transponder (as we do), you can use the automated toll section. Since we live at the southeast corner of E-470, we use the toll road every time […]
