Obama's "jobs" speech, summarized

I propose we create more jobs. I propose we fix the economy. I propose the wealthy stop being fat-assed pigs and pay their fair share. I propose Congress stop fucking around and figure out a way to get that all done. I propose reforming the tax code to make it so that fat cats don’t get special treatment. To do that, I propose a bunch of new specialized additions to

Expected lies, mis-directions, and unintended truths from tonight’s speech [guest post by motionview]

Ace via Daily Caller has the punch lies from tonight’s speech. Comments in italics. based on bi-partisan ideas; LIE. Based on Establishment ideas, the Establishment is trans-party, not bi-partisan.

"The FBI Is Raiding Obama's Favorite Solar Company" [updated]

Not to worry, though. A 3-judge panel made up of Clinton and Obama appointees will likely throw out any inconvenient evidence gathered in the raid, anyhow. Still: The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation have raided the offices of Solyndra, the now bankrupt solar energy company that the Obama administration helped secure $500 million in federally-backed loans. […] “Everything is under seal,”

The "because I have to run out to the doctor's office soon, I'll leave you with this short one act play that seeks to examine the travails of an existentialist life from the point of view of hardened realism and social pragmatism, using corn as a kind of extended metaphor" post

WAITING FOR DELICIOUS BUTTER SPREAD Espadrille Val ACT I A country road. A tree. Evening. Espadrille, sitting on a low mound, is staring at a shucked ear of corn. He pulls it close for inspection, turning it over and over. He gives up, exhausted, rests, tries again. As before. Enter Val. ESPADRILLE: (giving up again). Nothing to be done. VAL: (advancing with short, stiff strides, legs wide apart). I’m beginning

I get mail

Received this missive the morning after the GOP debate from one Crystal King, DSCC Political Director: Dear Jeff, Did you see the GOP debate last night? You didn’t need to. You already know the candidates were falling all over themselves to toe the Tea Party line: Tax cuts for the wealthy will create millions of jobs. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. “ObamaCare” must be scrapped and insurance companies given

GOP Debate Open Thread

This should be interesting. Prediction of sample question: “Representative Bachmann. You have crazy eyes and are batshit nuts, with a closeted gay for a husband. Tell the voters watching at home, why shouldn’t they take you out to a field and beat you to death with cinder blocks and a stretch of rebar?”

Northeastern elites and the death of movement conservatism

Ann Coulter is pushing warmist Chris Christie on us and, in private, trading jokes with Bill Maher. Laura Ingraham, when she isn’t fluffing O’Reilly’s seat, is alternately pushing Romney, defending Boehner, and telling us that rap music, coupled with our failure to tuck our shirts in, is a poignant sign of the deterioration of American culture. And yet these are the voices of modern conservatism? Wonderful. I hate to say

"'A social pariah': How lonely Monica Lewinsky has failed to find happiness… and is STILL the butt of lewd Clinton jokes"

Jesus. Suck one President’s dick while his wife’s away and it’s like your labeled forever. In all seriousness, though, it’s a tawdry testament to what’s become of our culture and our politics that Lewinsky remains a joke while Clinton tromps around as a statesman and a hero to the same left who claims to champion the rights of women.

"The Myth of Conservative Purity"

A sop to moderation and the joys (and necessities) of compromising principles, courtesy the Hoover Institute’s Peter Berkowitz. I’m not going to spend much time on this because frankly I don’t have to. I’ll leave that to Rush Limbaugh and the rest. Instead, here’s all you need to know about Berkowitz’s argument, distilled to its kernel assertion: the end game in political engagments is winning, using moderation as a tactic

Fathers of sons of bitches

Alan Krueger, Obama’s pick for head of the Council of Economic Advisors? Wanted to unionize prisoners. Not only that, but according to Bill Wilson, President of Americans for Limited Government, Krueger “has even supported paying the minimum wage and overtime to prisoners. This is the man that is supposed to turn our broken economy around?” Allow me to answer that for you, Bill. That’s not the objective. Once you understand
