A few months or so ago, Obama hit the beach and started delivering his “economy is recovering, but not enough” message. Some think this was in response to the rather catastrophic forecast of the first Tuesday in November. Personally, I do. “It’s the economy, stupid.” Simple message, hard to debate. The message then was that [...]
Two interesting charts. Two interesting facts. That is how the M3 Money Supply has fared under Obama. Pretty brutal huh? I’m sure Obama has a whole slew of network talking heads and Cabinet members lined up to blame it on Bush. But, the second chart to me is even more intereseting: Never in [...]
They say numbers don’t lie. However, numbers, in the context of time, can change in meaning. We all remember the economic boom of the Clint0n years. Everyone got real quiet while the numbers came in, and the money rolled freely. Everything was exploding in value and no one really knew why, or cared that much [...]
Representative Keith Ellison submitted this letter to The Hill blogs: We have to consider the 30 years of stagnant wages that your average Americans have had to face. That fact is that the reason we have people refinancing their homes, getting home equity loans, getting high rate interest credit cards and petty loans is because [...]
The Democrats haven’t even officially taken over the government yet, but they are already tossing out anything Republican as fast as they can. Along with that, I guess we can totally dismiss Bush’s "conservative compassionism": Its not just committees our influence within the House Democratic caucus will grow enormously, Mr. Rangel said in an interview.

I am basing this not on polls, because polls are just as often wrong as they are right. I am basing this on things that matter, that are really happening. The stock market has moved up strongly today. Wall Street LOVES a useless split House. When there’s no chance of significant legislation being produced for [...]
In 2004, President Bush’s ratings were totally in the basement. John Kerry was trashing Bush in the polls, and the media was laughing at Bush’s ineptitude. John Kerry then went to war with some former Vietnam vets that he absolutely would not get over. He hounded and hounded and hounded that one issue and basically [...]
Livescience ran a fairly brief article on the 10 Most Polluted Places in the World. Without further ado, here they are in alphabetical order by country: Linfen, China, where residents say they literally choke on coal dust in the evenings, exemplifies many Chinese cities; Haina, Dominican Republic, has severe lead contamination because of lead battery [...]
Five years ago, President Bush warned us that there were some bad guys out there. He’s been pretty much dead on target with his warning. Iran, Iraq, and North Korea have all been issues that have caused problems within the US, and given the United Nations major headaches. North Korea has gotten so whacked out [...]
