Or purse, as the case might be. Either way, more Americans are relying on government assistance than at any other time since the Great Depression. This from USA Today: A record 18.3% of the nation’s total personal income was a payment from the government for Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, unemployment benefits and other programs […]
Team BO, the most transparent presidential administration is recent memory, finally releases The One’s long-form birth certificate. Let the newest wave of conspiracy theories about conspiracy theories begin. Frankly, I’ve never understood all the furor and angst over where Obama was born. The guy’s broken the Constitution in so many different and more damagingly profound […]
County fairs and traveling carnivals were once the prime entertainment for rural Americans. A staple attraction at those amusements was the Tilt-a-Whirl. For the uninitiated, the Tilt-a-Whirl platform simultaneously tilts and rotates while each passenger car spins independently. The Tilt-a-Whirl can be a dizzying, stomach-churning experience that leaves passengers incapable of determining a proper direction. […]
After seeing Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged Part I,” I found the name of Sen. Dick Durbin’s “Main Street Fairness Act” sickeningly hilarious. Rand nails the hypocrisy of the language of the left in her book. Trust me, there is no “fairness” in Durbin’s bill, or any other euphemistically titled contrivance the Democrats have come up […]
The bigger government is better government brigade in Minnesota is taking to heart the notion of taxing anything that moves. The state’s department of transportation is recruiting volunteers to test technology that could be used to impose and collect a vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) tax: “This research will provide important feedback from motorists about the effectiveness of […]
Glenn Beck tags Mike Huckabee as a progressive: “He’s the guy. He will play along with the party politics. He will get along to get along. He will move things along. He does not want to disrupt giant government, I don’t think he for this kind of giant government . . . He’s perfect for […]
Glad to see the United Nations has its priorities straight, or I’d be worried about various diplomats wasting time on trivial matters like war, famine, genocide, and terrorism. Nope, instead the UN’s braintrust spent a whole day debating whether Mother Earth deserves human rights status. This from Fox News: A bloc of mostly socialist governments […]
The media loves to pick their candidate early on which is why Americans will more than likely get a late glimpse at someone who could become a real game changer in the race for the White House in 2012. Herman Cain, a relatively unknown political talk-show host from Atlanta is slowly becoming one of the […]
If the United States had fought the Second World War as we have the “war on terror” we would now speak German east of the Mississippi River and Japanese west of it. Thank God Americans weren’t concerned about offending the sensibilities of Hitler and Hirohito in 1942. The World War II generation put this country […]
We can all rest easier about the second deficit-reduction proposal President Obama has offered us. Not because his proposal will reduce the debt America is accumulating at a faster clip than anytime else in her history. No, no. The justification for our bliss is that the President’s proposal has won the endorsement of Charlotte Mayor […]
