Bad Places

Gee, rulings like this one in New York can’t be used badly. No way. There’s a very simple answer to the problem of potential or likely repeat offenders, and allowing bureaucrats to decide who gets to enjoy the hospitality of the state prison system for longer than their sentence, up to and including “fucking forever”, […]

A Typical Federal Winner

We were told by Obama that if only we had more job training, people could get back to work.  Peter S. Goodman via The New York Times: It was February 2009, and the city work force center in Downtown Brooklyn was jammed with hundreds of people hungry for paychecks. His caseworker urged [Israel Valle] to […]

That Sounds About Right

Vermont has successfully shat upon what few good assets in education it has in order to pander for a few federal dollars.  Great job!  Michael Winerip of The New York Times: Ms. Irvine wasn’t removed by anyone who had seen her work (often 80-hour weeks) at a school where 37 of 39 fifth graders were […]

If the best support you have for your party is that the other party is full of poo poo heads, you’re in trouble.  If that’s the best Obama can drum up, it’s going to be an ugly November for Demotards.

Obama the Arrogant

And I thought that it was libertarianism which was supposed to be egotistical. Apparently, Obama is the All Seeing Eye who will make it all better for us lowly plebs.  Sheryl Gay Stolberg of The New York Times, quoting Obama, as she tries mightily to help the administration fool the American people in to thinking […]

It Occurs to Me

It occurs to me that one needn’t convince another that a stimulus measure was stimulating were it actually stimulating. That, were said stimulus stimulating, the results would largely be self-evident.

More Obamacare Abomination

And I thought Obamacare was so great because it will make health care both more affordable, and be more compassionate (it is part of the fucking name, you know). Robert Pear via The New York Times on that “free” health care: The rules stipulate that no co-payments can be charged for tests and screenings recommended […]

Dan Balz and John Cohen on Obama’s sinking popularity with the voting American public: Overall, a slim majority of all voters say they would prefer Republican control of Congress so that the legislative branch would act as a check on the president’s policies. Those most likely to vote in the midterms prefer the GOP over […]

Welcome to the Welfare State

In an expose on the NYPD “stop, question, frisk” program, The New York Times gives us a glimpse in to the future of the American welfare state where government provides everything from housing to welfare money to “protection”. In a land where everything is provided for you, no rights exist other than those the police […]
