— you know, the one who supported stimulus, TARP, cap and trade, and state run health care — and who thinks capitalism exists to create jobs for the working man? And no, I’m not talking about Obama, sillies. Wait, what–?

Because the First Amendment, we all know, is meant only to protect the rights of the press to advocate for progressive causes. The rest is just two-bit bitterclingerness that is part and parcel of the flawed document that is our Constitution. CNS: White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says there are no “constitutional rights issues” involved in a regulation issued by the administration that requires all health-care plans in the

Which, don’t blame me for that designation. You chose the anchor, and you chose to tie your ship to it. Metaphorically speaking. As others have said, when the Left was given the perfect storm in 2008 to elect a President of their choosing, they went all in and helped place a far-left ideologue into Office. Given a similar scenario today, alternately, the GOP is trying to put forth — against

Good lord: They have trouble with spelling, grammar and showing up to class on time—and we’re not talking about the students. The city tried to expel 26 teachers from the classroom last year for gross incompetence—such as English teachers who couldn’t write or speak the language properly. But officials maintain that stringent union rules prohibited them from succeeding in just half those cases—even when hearing officers actually agreed with the

But don’t worry: we in the GOP are going to ride to the rescue on our middling steed with a pro-government health care, pro-cap-and-trade, pro-TARP former blue state technocrat governor in the saddle, a man with fine hair and chiseled features who will promise to manage this mess in a way that many of us will barely even know it’s there, it’s expanding so very slowly! And it is this

Looks like the AG is prepared to double down on the ignorance defense. Which, I guess, beats copping to conspiracy charges in the death of US border agents. So, you know, glass half full and all that, right, Mr Attorney General?

Clearly, Bill Gates is not paying his fair share to private sector innovators. Quick, somebody pass a law! It’s regularly been pointed out that the average compensation—that includes pay and benefits—for federal workers is now double the private sector average. Defenders of federal employees have routinely insisted that this is an unfair comparison. Well, Andrew Biggs, the former Social Security Administration deputy commissioner for policy and American Enterprise Insititute Scholar,

Zero Hedge’s Tyler Durden offers a sharp gloss on a WSJ’s piece on the MF Global Bankruptcy: On the three month bankruptcy anniversary of the company whose rehypothecation gimmicks will one day be seen as a harbinger of everything that is broken with the multi-trillion ponzi system, but not just yet despite loud warnings otherwise, we are getting close to a final verdict of where the $1.2 billion (and possibly

Sure, the GOP Establishment and many erstwhile “conservative” opinion-leaders are pushing Romney down our throats this election season (because what says “conservative alternative to Obama” better than a pro-government health care, pro-cap and trade, pro-TARP former Massachusetts governor / professional campaigner?) — and sure, many “TEA Party leaders” have come out in support of Gingrich (because, in addition to being pro-TARP, pro-cap and trade, and pro-ethanol subsidies, what says “TEA
