In today’s Wall Street Journal, Shelby Steele has penned one of the best op-ed pieces to-date on our national Obama-fication phenomenon. Mr. Steele is a senior research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution who specializes in the study of race relations, multiculturalism, and affirmative action. He also happens to be a black man, so I think his credentials for commenting on “Obama and Our Post-Modern | Read More »
You have probably heard the cogent points surrounding Climategate by now. A concise summary: Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) alarmists at East Anglica University, with input from other “scientists” around the planet, have been caught red handed at their data manipulation trickery. Apparently it wasn’t terribly complicated. Anyone who passed Statistics 101 without cheating would be able to figure out how to set the parameters to | Read More »
Today’s Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed called “The Michigan Experience.” It tracks Michigan’s industrial policy over more than a decade. During this time the rest of the state’s taxpayers financed subsidies for businesses – selected by bureaucratic state agencies – with the goal of creating and retaining jobs. So did it work? The answer is not only no, but no to the 10th power. | Read More »
President Obama tells us that health care reform does not include illegal aliens (undocumented workers, for the deconstructionists), and the “right-wing racists” don’t believe him. He says there won’t be rationing, and right-wing racists and senior citizens don’t believe him. He says there will be no death-panels and, again, the right-wing racists don’t believe him, senior citizens don’t believe him and parents of special needs | Read More »
Bill Clinton flies off to North Korea to seal the deal on the release of the two American “journalists” that wandered into North Korea, and BHO brings birthday cupcakes to the 89 year old cupcake Helen Thomas. What’s wrong with this picture? Could it be that Bill Clinton actually looked presidential as he walked off the plane, all somber and steady of foot? As opposed | Read More »
If you start with an incorrect premise, I will guarantee that you arrive at an incorrect solution. For example, health care. Obama started with the premise that our health care system is broken. And no one bothered to question that hypothesis. When in fact, if they had, they would have discovered the obvious: we have the best health care on the planet. Period. Nonpareil. And | Read More »
Our wacky governor – she’s always looking for a way to balance our state’s out of control budget. This one is brilliant: Michigan has offered to house the Gitmo detainees in an abandoned prison in Standish, Michigan. A twofer! We get to use the jail that Governor Granholm closed to save the state money (The prisoners? Well, we released most of them. It was part | Read More »
Remember the need for immediacy with the Stimulus Bill? Congress had to get it done by Valentine’s Day weekend? Maybe so Barry and Lady M could have something to celebrate on their Chicago “date weekend.” Anyway, they must have had a swell time because Barry didn’t get back to the White House until 4 days later to actually sign this crucial piece of legislation. Apparently | Read More »
Michael Savage is now free to move about the kingdom. He has been removed from England’s “Least Wanted” list. You will recall that he was included in Home Secretary Jacqui Smith’s list of 16 to be banned from Britain for heinous crimes against humanity. Ms. Smith resigned last month after Savage sued her for libel. She was also under investigation for misuse of taxpayer funds. | Read More »
I know Obama has a dog in this fight. What I don’t know is why. For some reason the White House is strongly opposed to legislation aimed at restoring dealerships that were eliminated as a part of the GM and Chrysler bankruptcy filings: The administration said today in a statement that “the decision by Chrysler and GM to rationalize their dealer networks was a critical | Read More »
