Former Obama aide Rosa Brooks has an interesting article in Foreign Policy magazine analyzing the reasons for the dismal performance of the Obama regime in foreign policy. While accurate she misses the central point. It is said A’s hire A’s and B’s hire C’s. Now we’re seeing what C’s and D’s hire.
Three years after the Fort Hood shooting the administration still insists upon classifying the obvious terror attack as “work place violence.” This craven duplicity deprives the survivors and the families of the deceased eligibility for awards for valor and for compensation allowed to terrorism victims. One has to wonder why.
A new study claims that routine medical exams have no effect upon long term health. When taken in context with other actions by the medical industry, it is difficult to see this as a benign, evidence based approach to better medical care.
The scheduled euthanasia of patients deemed terminally ill in British hospitals gives us insights into what we can expect from Obamacare as it is implemented. What we see is very, very ugly.
A new study is out purporting to show that free contraception reduces both pregnancy and abortion. In reality all it does is beclown the authors.
Remember when AT&T tried to get T-Mobile’s spectrum in order to give Verizon some more competition? And how Sprint opposed that because it would heighten competition? Well now it’s turnabout. SoftBank is attempting to buy a majority of Sprint, which will in turn take a majority of Clearwire. That will give Softbank control of a large amount of US Spectrum. So AT&T wants regulatory review. Heh.
To be clear, I think it’s a good thing that firms are doing what they can to get spectrum and compete, even if I laugh at the revenge attempt going on here. In fact I think it would have been very interesting to see Softbank/Sprint/Clearwire vs AT&T/T-Mobile vs Verizon. But we’ll see what shakes out in the end.

This is a race that has recently hit the radar, largely because Tom has seriously narrowed the gap between him and incumbent Senator Bob Casey – and if you don’t like a Republican-leaning pollster’s +2, well, there’s always Quinnipiac’s -3, or Morning Call’s -2. Heck, even the Democratic-leaning PPP had to struggle to get Casey at 50: amazing what you can get with a D+11 | Read More »
Amidst ongoing questions concerning the potential cover-ups by the Obama Administration of Fast and Furious and the Benghazi attack, another scandal is coming back to light for the White House. The U.S. Secret Service made the news last April when a number of agents were suspended after being accused of consorting with prostitutes while in Cartagena, Columbia for the Summit of the Americas attended by | Read More »
In Barack Obama’s appearance on The Daily Show last night he asserted that al Qaeda existed in remnant form. This is demonstrably untrue. Since handing Libya over to al Qaeda in Africa it has become a resurgent force on that continent.
Senator McCaskill should be proud of Craig Woods. She said the following about whistleblowers back in 2009. “[w]histleblowers are our first line of defense against waste, fraud, and abuse. We’ve got to do everything possible to protect them,” McCaskill said then. “Whistle-blowers who raise the alarm about waste, fraud, and abuse should be commended — not punished,” McCaskill said in an April 26, 2012 press | Read More »
A lot of people are angry about a lot of things concerning Barack Obama’s ongoing SCOAMF*-Fiesta in the nation of Libya. I addressed what it reinforced to me about his administration in a recent diary. Barack Obama exists at altitude and distance from the results of any decisions that he makes. He takes responsibility for his leadership decisions as President about as much as I take responsibility for playing the wrong guy on my fantasy football team.
He demonstrated his utter lack of concern about what happened by sending out Susan Rice and Stephanie Cutter to tell 1,001 Arabian Lies about what transpired on that fatal anniversary of 9/11 in Benghazi, Libya. When lying and blame shifting didn’t work, he ignored the first rule of holes** and continued his descent. He wants us to believe the whole thing is just a bump in the road – so inconsequential that he can poke a little fun at himself over at Comedy Central.

When Solyndra failed and flushed some $535 million of US taxpayer money down the toilet, Solyndra management and the US government looked around for a scapegoat. They chose Chinese solar panel manufacturers. In reality, the seeds of Solyndra’s demise were sown before it received its first federal dollar and due diligence by the Obama regime would have discovered that fact.
After two weeks of positive polling for Romney in Colorado, which had him leading Obama in the Real Clear Politics Colorado average by 0.7%, Public Policy Polling (PPP), the polling firm for the Daily Kos, has come out with a new poll with Obama leading by 3.

Obama’s support among young voters is cratering. Not only are they less likely to vote at all in 2012 than in 2008, their affinity for Obama is no higher that it was for John Kerry. Adding to the bad news, young Romney voters are much more likely to vote than young Obama voters.
On today’s edition of Coffee and Markets, Brad Jackson is joined by Francis Cianfrocca to discuss the surprise departure of Citigroup’s CEO, Google’s earnings miss, and chicken fried bacon.
