Shenanigans
Goings-on that really shouldn’t be happening.
Obama, you are done
A president who has lost the confidence of the American people blamed everyone but himself for the problems of the nation. He dared lecture the Supreme Court on jurisprudence, complained about Senate procedure (which he himself operated within and benefitted from) and then pointed the finger of blame (yet again) at his predecessor. The...

President Obama’s accomplishments worthy of the Nobel Prize for Peace?
“to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” – Alfred Nobel
The shocking news of the Nobel Prize for Peace going to President Obama will be spinning heads across...

Compare and contrast protests
Looking at images of the (pretty weak turnout, eh?) protests in Pittsburgh at the G20 Summit today, I noted at how different the September 12 protest in Washington really was. Today’s brouhaha looked like a watered-down retread of every anarcho hippie scum protest that’s taken place since the 1999 Seattle WTO protests. Same $hit,...

Sometimes you feel like a nut…
Bad week for ACORN. The left-leaning quango has been the subject of voter fraud investigations in at least seven states over the past few years and now, in a three-punch combination blow, is finding itself in what might, hopefully, be a day of painful reckoning. The bad news started on the 9th with the...

One head rolls at the NEA – sort of

More ‘Bad Behavior’ from the arts community
Patrick Courrielche has more on the NEA/White House attempt at propaganda over at Big Hollwood. He’s got audio of the NEA contradicting itself, too. Oops. Courrielche’s concluding thoughts mirror my own in an earlier GOP post: the NEA is handing its critics fresh, valid points of criticism to use against the group.

Ahem… Chain of Command?
This McClatchy story on the apparent tension in the White House over Afghanistan is interesting on many levels. What jumped out at me was this paragraph:
Obama now feels that McChrystal and his superior, Army Gen. David Petraeus , the head of the Central Command, are pressuring him to commit still more troops to Afghanistan...

Hands off my damn shower!
The Competitive Enterprise Institute issued a press release today on how Consumer Reports became a snitch. In the upcoming October issue, the magazine reviewed a British-made shower panel, the Hudson Reed Theme Thermostatic Shower Panel, and found the flow rate “seemed to good to be true, — or legal,” and they reported the manufacturer...

National Endowment for the Propagandists
The National Endowment for the Arts is actively participating as a propagandist agency for the White House. Sound harsh? In the forty-plus years the group has been around, when was the last time you recall it shilling for issues on behalf of, or in parallel with a President? (In all seriousness. I’d love examples...
