Jeffrey Lord, American Spectator: Obamaflation has arrived, and this is what it looks like. Milk. A gallon of skim. At the local Giant in Central Pennsylvania: January 11, 2011: $3.20 February 28, 2011: $3.24 March 6, 2011: $3.34 April 23. 2011: $3.48 That would be a 28 cent rise in a mere 102 days, from January to April of this year. The third year of the Obama misadventure. Then there’s

A plurality of Americans are down with Ryan’s Medicare reforms: The CBS News/New York Times poll is thought to skew a little to the left due to its tendency to oversample Democrats. That’s why Washington insiders sat up and took notice on Good Friday, when the poll reported that a plurality of Americans actually approve of GOP Rep. Paul Ryan’s Medicare reforms. A startling 47% approved of changing Medicare from

No, not literally. But, well — Yes, you read that right. Democrats in Massachusetts admitted that Scott Walker had the right idea all along. In fact, the Commonwealth believes that the ability to manage health care coverage will save taxpayers $100 million in the next budget year. And in another nod to Wisconsin, the House held their vote at 11:30 last night, hoping to avoid the kind of demonstrations that

And the truth shall set you free! Politico: Obama said in a brief appearance before the cameras Wednesday morning that he decided on the release because the conspiracy theory over where he was born had eclipsed the debate on the budget. “We do not have time for this kind of silliness,” Obama told reporters. “I’ve got better stuff to do.” Like golf. And campaign. And throw parties. And golf. And

True. And predictable: the administration inflates the dollar, closes off drilling, and makes sure we’re importing 70% of our fuel, which is tied to the inflated dollar. This produces “record profits” for the oil industry, allowing the administration to scapegoat them and peg them as a target of class warfare. To punish this supposed avarice, he takes away their “subsidies” (read: tax breaks; read: business incentives) and transfers those to,

True. Now what?

Listen to the rhetoric. And realize, these are the people who were standing side by side with union bosses and Wisconsin protesters — the people who stand side by side with this administration (and who this administration continues to shield and protect at the expense of the actual middle class). The top 1% contribute nothing, says Brian Becker. They are essentially vermin. Honestly. Would it be so bad if they

Dead as a boot. Now, I could go into a lengthy explanation about how the left has so inverted the idea of “tolerance” that it is now more weapon than ideal (and besides, what good is prior restraint if it refuses to punish would-be haters?); or I could explain, yet again, how consensus ideas of interpretation necessarily end with power plays that lead to the inevitable indictment of the individual

People think Bill Clinton is a good liar. He was famous for it! His nickname was Slick Willie; hell, he was impeached for perjury in front a Federal judge, and to borrow from a phrase from First-Among-Equals, ended up ‘guilty as hell and free as a bird”. That doesn’t sound like a very good liar to me. He’s a convicted liar. He’s still standing. That certainly doesn’t qualify as a

— Meaning, you know — with the market system and the filthy, evil, profit-driven nature of capitalism itself. Because what else could it be? I eagerly await Obama’s joining with populist buffoon Bill O’Reilly to unmask the great conspiracy Big Oil and “speculators” have together hatched to steal from “the folks” / “the working man.” Those moratoriums, high taxes, and insane regulatory requirements and/or prohibitions? Meh. That kinda narrative doesn’t
