From an American reader living in Japan: Its taking on a surreal feeling here. I can confirm what most people paying attention know, it is not as bad as we are being led to believe. I found that the difference is split between my Japanese friends regarding what they believe. I actually had one of them do the math when he told me that Japan had lost 10% of its

Identity theft?
Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey has made public statements on his blog claiming that at some point this year I “serially harassed” someone of his acquaintance via email. I maintain that I did no such thing. In fact, I asked that any correspondence purporting to be from me that engages in (as Frey described it) “unhinged” “harassment” be released and reprinted, because I further maintain that any correspondence

"Gallup Finds U.S. Unemployment at 10.2% in Mid-March"
Of course it is. Worse still, 1 in 5 can’t find a full time job. 1 in 5. NO WE CAN’T!

"Food and gas prices sharply up in US"
Wait, didn’t Sarah Palin warn this was going to happen? HOPE AND CHANGE! AP: Gas prices jumped 4.7 percent in February, above January’s increase but below December’s rise. Oil and gas prices have risen sharply since the beginning of the year due to political turmoil in the Middle East. Food costs increased 0.6 percent, the most since September 2008. Food costs rose for almost all major grocery store groups, including

"Two Democrats Charged in Tea Party Election Fraud"
This is outrageous! How can dedicated, principled activists for good be charged with felonies when all they are really guilty of is working to ensure that SOCIAL JUSTICE isn’t strangled in its crib by election results that favor those who are demonstrably evil enough to do the strangling? After all, isn’t that what democracy looks like? I would like to formally request a recount. (thanks to geoffB)

an open letter to anyone I may have emailed
17 March, 2011 Dear people I may have emailed: If you have received unsolicited emails from me that you found threatening, stalker-ish, unhinged, etc.,– and instead of contacting me directly or blocking my email address you had a lawyer craft and send a cease and desist letter — please be aware that I never received such a letter, either in hard copy or in my email. (Of course, to be

"Bureaucrats to union thugs: Come out fighting"
Washington Examiner: Prior to its most recent decision [ruling on a 2008 workplace representation election at MasTec DirecTV that was won by the Communications Workers of America on a 14-12 vote], the NLRB has historically set aside elections in which multiple verbal threats were made by either side, including most recently in a 2007 case in which a UAW effort to organize a PPG shop was overturned following a rash

"U.S. Debt Jumped $72 Billion Same Day U.S. House Voted to Cut Spending $6 Billion"
Meanwhile, Boehner and Cantor’s offices are grousing about the “extreme right wing” of the party — you know, those of us who don’t think it a strong “game plan” involves running scared from Harry Reid while the infrastructure for administering ObamaCare is built and financed. Trading the optics of meeting your (tiny) cuts to the budget for an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and keep the government open —
