You don’t say. Thousands of companies that collected more than $24 billion in stimulus money from the federal government owe hundreds of millions of dollars in back taxes, a federal investigation has found. At least 3,700 contractors and nonprofit groups that took in stimulus funds are tax deadbeats, the Government Accountability Office said in a report conducted for the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations ahead of a Tuesday hearing. In

And he is unapologetic about his country. Unlike a certain other leader given to unprovoked apology tours I could name. Noted Netanyahu, The Jewish people are not foreign occupiers. We’re not the British in India, or the Belgians in the Congo. This is the land of our forefathers… no distortion of history will deny the 4000 year old bond between the Jewish people and the Jewish land. No return to

Wait, cosmopolitan, Europeanized teabaggers — many clinging to their non-guns and non-Gods — and yet somehow just as forthrightly pissed as our own backwood rubes and dullards, and like them pretending they know jack-all about how best to rule? Posh. Racist haters, the whole transnational lot of ’em. Probably funded by the Jews, to boot: -In April, the people of Iceland went to the polls, decisively rejecting a bailout of

Sure, Obama himself told the American people it was not a tax. And the Democrat-controlled Congress, in forcing it through, insisted it was not a tax. But now, in order to remove any standing of people to challenge its legality, it looks like the three-judge panel for the Fourth Circuit — two Obama appointees and one Clinton appointee — are set to rule that ObamaCare is a tax, and as

Next, it’s on to Buckingham Palace, where the President is bringing his own safety windows for the luxury Belgian suite, and where the size of his entourage will displace many of the Queen’s staff. But before you become indignant, remember: George Bush let black people

Which, in and of itself, means only that he’s correctly gauged the political winds, should he wish to appeal to TEA Party conservatives. But then to follow up your promise to tell the truth with a speech in Iowa calling for the end to ethanol subsidies? That suggests that perhaps he (unlike, say, Newt Gingrich and the politics of local pander) has seen the light. And so that marks Pawlenty

Reason: Now that Osama bin Laden is dead, we can turn our attention to another remorseless enemy who for years has sown death and destruction among blameless innocents. I refer, of course, to Ronald McDonald. The McDonald’s mascot may qualify as one of the more annoying characters on the planet. But to his credit, he doesn’t compound his unappealing personality by bossing you around. In that respect, he is far

My bet? A Huntsman push. But what do I know? For what it’s worth, here’s Byron York’s take: How will that affect the race for the Republican presidential nomination? Discussing the matter with representatives of the various candidates Sunday morning, most think it will help their own candidate. No surprises there. But the most important point the campaign reps make is that they now believe, regardless of how much some
