What’s most remarkable to me is that Obama, in his public speeches, still pretends — and still believes that everyone will pretend along with him — that he is pro-business, pro-prosperity, pro-growth, and pro-jobs. I mean, does he not think we’re paying attention? Or does he really believe, with nishi, that he can stave off reality forever by creating his own reality through the manipulation of perception, a kind of

Romney: “What I’d like to do is have the Lockerbie bomber extradited from Libya. This is a person responsible for killing Americans. The idea that he would be welcomed home as a hero in Libya is simply distasteful and disgusting and outrageous and I’d like him to be extradited and face justice at the hands of the United States. “Guantanamo always serves a useful purpose in settings like this. The

If you answered, “Jesus, you’re still talking about that stupid rainstorm?” you’re wrong, but only about how a hurricane becomes a political opportunity. As a practical matter, you’re right as, well, you know. Seriously. It was like somebody televised an extended metaphor of my prom night. Only with flooding. And on-location reporters who, unlike my prom date, actually got a little wet. Category 1, indeed.

I know. Surprise!

Rick Moran would like it known that while he still thinks your inelegant right-wing extremism is gauche and unfairly dismissive of those witty, urbane, educated Republicans who are far better than you any of you can ever hope to be and who simply can’t stand you and your stupid uncompromising “principles”, he nevertheless admits that — likely by accident, or dumb luck — you’re sorta kinda correct about their being

Meh, let it come. The real adjustment is long overdue, and frankly, starting from scratch — once we tar, feather, and chase from polite society all those who presumed to “manage” the global financial system — might just be the best thing for us. And yes, my wife and I are resigned to the fact that our 401K is as good as gone. Just wish I had invested in gold,

Stacking the bureaucracies. As a rule, getting rid of civil servants is like trying to rid your yard of bindweed, or your ex-stripper girlfriend of the Herpes. And if the left is going to find a way around representative democracy — which, let’s face it, is what they do in every instance where they can’t first win or steal elections — using the protections we grant to civil servants, then

David Thompson walks you through the latest in leftist quantum re-imaginings. Or, for those of you who prefer shorthand, imagine the physics behind, say, second-hand Twinkie thighs. Einstein wept.

Because really. Who are we to judge? CNS, “Troubled by Growth of Christianity, Iranian Regime Destroys Bibles”: A Shi’ite cleric affiliated with the Iranian regime has warned about the “danger” of Christianity spreading in the Islamic republic. This come amid reports of an anti-Christianity propaganda campaign and the seizure of thousands of Bibles. […] Last week, Mohabat reported that authorities had seized 6,500 pocket-sized Bibles in northwestern Iran. It quoted

Top tier candidate. Serious. Sober. Pragmatic. And just what we need to draw in “moderates.” Because unlike the conservatives in the field, Huntsman wouldn’t let the US “default” by way of, well, not defaulting — and insisting that any increase in our debt limit be counterbalanced by commensurate cuts in spending. And unlike the conservatives in the field, Huntsman believes the “rich” aren’t sacrificing enough already by paying the majority
