Paul Krugman is Still an Idiot

October 25th, 2010 | 3 Comments

Some people are just unlearned.  Some people are just stubborn.  Some people are just stupid.  Some people just can’t quit lying.  Paul Krugman has to be the latter.  His argument for why we should still vote Democrat in spite of the fact their economic policies to date have failed miserably is because we shouldn’t return [...]

Obama helping out fat cat bankers

December 14th, 2009 | 1 Comment

More lunacy from the top.  At approximately 11:10 this morning, Obama is scheduled to meet with representatives of the financial industry.  Last night he had this to say about them: “I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street.”….. “They’re still puzzled why it is [...]

The White House Jobs Forum

President Obama has decided the unemployment situation is bad.  He has a point.  It’s now as bad as it was when Reagan fixed Carter’s mess.  So, he decided to have a get-together with minds that he thinks will fix the problem.  Now, in my relatively simple world, the best way to cure unemployment is to [...]

Obama, health insurance, greed, and ignorance

One of the prevailing undercurrents of the health care reform debate has been the subtle insinuation that a big part of the problem with the current health care coverage situation is corporate greed.  That by simply eliminating the corporate part, you automatically eliminate all greed.  It’s that simple.  Once again, in Obama’s and the liberals’ world, [...]

Reflexively anti-Obama

August 25th, 2009 | No Comments

A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]
