“The Future Obama Economy”: a protein wisdom nanofiction

     Bored, she asked, “So. Feel like going out, maybe getting a burger or something?”      He raked her with his eyes. “A burger?” he spat. “What do I look like, a fucking Rockefeller?” ~ finis ~

JP Morgan to Dems: it ain’t working, comrades.

Via Jim Pethokoukis, this, from JP Morgan: This morning we lowered our tracking of Q2 GDP growth from 1.7% to 1.4%. For some time now we have noted that our Q3 GDP call — which was already below consensus at 2.0% — had risks that were skewed to the downside. After the latest round of data we have decided to lower our projection for Q3 to 1.5%. The strength in

Resistance to ObamaCare is futile. It’s not like you built your business yourself, anyway [Darleen Click]

Obama’s “Kill Romney” campaign sneers that Mitt never created one job, just “fired people.” Ahem In the wake of the Supreme Court’s health care decision, several companies with 50 or more full-time workers have embarked on a quest. Their aim: Get below 50 and dodge the employer mandate. […] Kari DePhillips, who co-owns the Content Factory, a public relations firm in Pittsburgh, was hoping she could just break up the

“36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes”

Well, sure, okay.  But at least we know that about them.  What we don’t know is, why doesn’t Mitt Romney owe back taxes?

“Democrats open door to letting taxes rise in 2013 to reset debate with GOP” [updated]

And this is surprising why?  Punishing “the rich” — in essence, justifying the plunder of the productive class to draw in revenue to redistribute to their friends and constituency leaders — is necessary to any leftist enterprise, though the “rich” who are willing to lend their support to the government class and give cover for the plunder are rewarded by decreased competition and the cronyism inherent in liberal fascism, the

All your messaging are belong to us!

It’s like Pravda, only without the inherent Russian masculinity. NYT: The quotations come back redacted, stripped of colorful metaphors, colloquial language and anything even mildly provocative. They are sent by e-mail from the Obama headquarters in Chicago to reporters who have interviewed campaign officials under one major condition: the press office has veto power over what statements can be quoted and attributed by name. Most reporters, desperate to pick the

“The Fancy Hotels & Luxurious Headboards of Elizabeth Warren’s Campaign”

Hey, what’s a little bottled water and bedroom luxury when your people were slaughtered and their land stolen from them by the White Man? You owe us. **** update: Everybody sing! Cherokee people / Cherokee pride

America’s brides: Unpatriotic, like totally [Darleen Click]

I mean, you’d think they’d know that just because they call it “their” wedding, they don’t really own it President Obama’s bizarre marriage-theme fund-raising scheme — where he asks couples to request campaign donations from their guests in lieu of wedding gifts — has been a total flop. The desperate initiative, dubbed “the Event Registry,” is being mocked by event planners and couples — and shows how desperate the Obama
