another "Michael Moore Must Really Like Sausage" post

I can tell because he’s very very fat. So.

Unemployment Rate: 8.9%?

Doubtful. I mean, sure, if you reduce the size of the work force as a constant, as the Department of Labor had been doing, the unemployment rate will eventually drop. Meanwhile, in a world constrained by the laws of physics, Gallup finds a different trend. The MSM, naturally, will report the former number and largely ignore the latter. As they begin their latest push to re-elect a Marxist to the

a CITIZEN JOURNALIST prepares himself for life under Barack Obama’s Socialist Paradise, 5

REI hippie guy working the cash register, wearing the Obama button pinned to his stupid shirt: “Okay. So that’ll be $83.77.” me: “Cool! $41.89 it is.” REI hippie guy working the cash register, wearing the Obama button pinned to his stupid shirt: “Sir?” me: “No need to be all formal, brother. Classless society and all that.” me: “– Oh, and thanks for picking up your share of the cost for

"Federal Expenditures Topped $1 Trillion for February Alone, Says U.S. Treasury"

A trillion here, a trillion there — pretty soon we’re talking real money…

Not your daddy's GOP?

Well, we’ll see. But there are signs of fight in some of these lawmakers: GOP lawmakers have already moved decisively to curtail the power and influence of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has extended its regulatory reach without congressional approval. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rodgers (R-Ky.) has introduced a continuing resolution that would cut $61 billion from government operations through Sept. 30. Tea Party activists, who have very

The New Civility, 43

Sherrod Brown inadvertently reminds us that certain public sector unions, with their mandatory enrollment, their promotion of longevity over merit, and their close ties to a central authority, are very Deutsche Arbeitsfront-esque. So. Who gets to play Hitler in Sherrod Brown’s analogy?

"Wisconsin Senate Does Not Need a 3/5ths Quorum to Pass Much of the Budget Bill"

Jim Lindgren, writing at Volokh: […] there is a 1971 Opinion of the Wisconsin Attorney General that determined that a bill changing collective bargaining rights was not a fiscal statute under the constitution and did not require a three-fifths quorum. Thus the Republican senators do not need the presence of the Democrats to pass the most controversial parts of Wisconsin Senate Bill 11. […] […] in State v. Stitt (1983),

Short term plans

So. I’ve been looking around for a fair-sized slice of the American money pie, and it turns out it’s been crudely Saran-wrapped and tucked away in one of several overstuffed dessert freezers in this fat fuck’s Manhattan apartment. Probably has a bunch more of my pie squirreled away at his Michigan beach house, too. Time to eat,* I say. ROAD TRIP!

"'Destroy Institutions’: Ralph Nader and Jesse Jackson Call for College Students to Rise Up in Revolution, Blame Rush Limbaugh for ‘Huge Ignorance Movement’"

From the Blaze and Rush Limbaugh. Quick. Somebody email this off to Professor Brian Kiteley. So he can haughtily distance himself from civil rights activists, consumer advocates, and small college speaking circuits. BECAUSE OF THE FRINGE EXTREMISM!

The post-racial presidency

— Whereby “post-racial” has been re-imagined, through the magic of progressive linguistic slippage, to mean “absolutely obsessed with race, and willing to use frequent and disingenuous charges of racism as a shield against any and all criticisms in the hope that doing so will shame critics into frightened silence; gin up ‘faux outrage’ against such critics among the culturally sanctimonious; and compel ‘pragmatists’ in the opposing ideological camp to counsel
