President Obama’s Speech; First Lady Obama’s “Lessons”
By: scipio62 (Diary) | January 16th at 07:09 AM |
The other day, I posted on Sarah Palin’s video regarding last week’s tragedy in Tuscon. I had said at the end that I hoped President Obama would keep politics out of his speech. To be fair, I think he did that; metaphorically speaking, I believe he made it a point to spank the Left, his support, for their completely outrageous behavior (Byron York somewhat disagrees, | Read More »
Paul Krugman, “Abusive Parent” – Yes, It’s a Metaphor
By: scipio62 (Diary) | January 14th at 02:53 PM |
In his column “A Tale of Two Moralities,” New York Times columnist Paul Krugman once again reaches for the bottom of the sewer. He is covering for his thoroughly wicked column from earlier this week where he dared to lay a huge amount of the blame for last week’s tragedy in Tuscon on conservatives. Now he’s attempting to walk that back…without actually walking it back. | Read More »
Krugman: Americans are Slaves to the Federal Government
By: scipio62 (Diary) | August 23rd at 11:17 AM |
Sometimes, ya just gotta do it, even if it makes you feel dirty. Reading Paul Krugman that is. Take today’s column; according to Krugman, the money we Americans earn for our work, whether it’s in our own businesses or from an employer, is actually the federal government’s money. How else can one explain this sentence: But these same politicians are eager to cut checks averaging | Read More »
What Do You Mean $2 Trillion Plus in Stimulus Wasn’t Large Enough? Get Real
By: scipio62 (Diary) | August 4th at 09:34 AM |
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has been whining for well over a year that the $787 billion Porkulus (which was rescored by the CBO to $862 billion; plus, neither of these figures factors in the accrued interest for this spending since it’s all borrowed money, so the total will be higher) wasn’t large enough to have fixed America’s economic problems. He did again yesterday | Read More »
I Suspect Krugman Is On Planet Pandora
By: scipio62 (Diary) | January 19th at 05:36 AM |
I hate reading the New York Times’ Paul Krugman and do it as infrequently as possible. But I had a momentary lapse of judgment when I read this column. Here’s Krugman explaining what he thinks didn’t happen during the first year of The One’s Presidency [emphasis mine]: It’s instructive to compare Mr. Obama’s rhetorical stance on the economy with that of Ronald Reagan. It’s often | Read More »
David Brooks Still “Starry-Eyed” Over The One
By: scipio62 (Diary) | March 6th at 08:56 AM |
From the token “conservative” at the New York Times: On Tuesday, I wrote that the Obama budget is a liberal, big government document that should make moderates nervous. The column generated a large positive response from moderate Obama supporters who are anxious about where the administration is headed. It was not so popular inside the White House. Within a day, I had conversations with four | Read More »
