A Centrist Plan For Overhauling Access To Quality Health Care

There seems to be some interesting developments arising from a group of Senate centrists who want to increase access to health care, but who also want to protect our medical and insurance private sector and who oppose a government run plan (geez, look at how good the government is doing  fixing the job market!). First […]

Amazing Days In Iran

Published by under Iran

  I don’t have time to post a broad review of the massive demonstrations yesterday in Iran, but then again I don’t need to when sites like this one provide a complete round up of stories, pictures and videos from the Iranians themselves. BTW, it is coming to a head as the totalitarians demand the […]

Unemployment Skyrocketing In Many States. Obama-Pelosi-Reid Liberal Economic Experiment Failing Miserably

Published by under Measuring The Recovery

Major Update: California’s unemployment rate jumped to an all time high of 11.5% in May (from 11.1% in April). Do the Democrats really think this pivotal electoral state will stay Dem blue if these conditions continue for the rest of the year? How about Florida, where unemployment shot up 4.4% to a whopping 10.2% unemployment […]

America Is Losing Faith In President Hope & Change

Published by under All General Discussions

One thing about life is there are some absolutes which turn up over and over. First off, inexperienced new administrations make tons of mistakes based on their naive arrogance. Second, the liberal fantasy that government can control or help the economy is a well proven sham. Combine these two and you get a recipe for […]

Government Climate Report Seriously Flawed

Published by under Global Warming

You know, you can tell when something is really, really poorly done when you can take a few, key paragraphs of the Executive Summary and demonstrate complete inaccuracy with little effort. Such is the case with the latest government report on so called global warming or climate change (pick your spin).   Ironically, the report […]

Disappearing Iranian Votes

Published by under Iran

I can see why the slogan “Where’s My Vote” is catching on in Iran. I have no idea to the validity of this following image – picked it up off a twitter feed – but if it is genuine it clearly shows votes for Mousavi disappearing throughout the day:   From 9.47 AM to 1:53 […]

Apparently this is starting to happen! I’ve just been witnessing a confrontation, in dusk and into the night, between about 15,000 supporters of Ahmadinejad – supposedly […]

The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Liberal Economic Stimulus Scheme Myth Busted

Published by under Measuring The Recovery

Destroying liberal myths economic myths doesn’t get any more simple than now with the rising job losses and the failed liberal economic stimulus plan. Obama finally admitted to what people were predicting back in February – that the unemployment situation is going to get much worse in the coming months: President Barack Obama said the U.S. unemployment […]

We may be witnessing history here folks. Instead of dying down, the uprising in Iran seems to be growing and expanding. Here are some interesting reports on the matter. First is from the UK Guardian: But now, public anger over the disputed election has given Iran’s ruling elite a challenge of a new and unsettling […]

Neanderthals On The “True Right” Killing Conservative Movement

Published by under All General Discussions

Some people are having trouble resolving two bits of polling data that have come out in the last  couple of weeks. The first is a Gallup poll showing ‘conservative’ is the largest self identified political view: The second is a Pew poll showing the GOP as the smallest political party, dwarfed by a growing independent […]
