For a little while now, I’ve been going after Obama and his bunch for attacking big banks when the problem is with regional banks.  He’s given them TARP, gotten most of it back, called them names, and begged for their help.  All the while, smaller banks have been totally ignored while the Feds have been [...]

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 [...]

You wanna know how bad things must be getting at Rolling Stone? I cancelled our free subscription. It’s really sad, but they really do suck any more.

Officials at an elementary school south of Boston have banned kids from playing tag, touch football and any other unsupervised chase game during recess for fear they’ll get hurt and hold the school liable. Recess is "a time when accidents can happen," said Willett Elementary School Principal Gaylene Heppe, who approved the ban. While there [...]

Powerline points to a book by Douglas Murray called: Now, the premise here is that the country NEEDS Neoconservatism.  I don’t particularly think that’s true.  That’s about like saying the country NEEDS to grow older.  Sounds kinda harsh I know, but this is why I think this is true.  It’s pretty simple really:  In 1990, [...]
