And it looks like the social engineers do not plan to disappoint. Remember when I pointed out that the same politicians that created the environment that caused the housing collapse demanding to be the ones to fix the evil lenders was certainly not fixing anything and likely to make it worse? Well, I hate to be right on this, but I am:
Just days before Christmas, the Obama administration gave Bank of America a
That’s Michele Bachmann out of the Presidential race; not Marcus out of the closet. It makes sense. Iowa was supposed to be a stronghold or her. If she came in sixth there, she’s toast.
Perry is reconsidering his campaign. Given how much money he spent, I think a withdrawal is imminent. Newt should pull out but he won’t.
Realistically, is is now down to Romney and Santorum, unless the conservative wing suddenly discovers John Huntsman. … Read more
Probably not the best time to write a post on the ever growing problem of obesity in America, considering that if your family is anything like mine, the Holidays present a veritable bombardment of culinary and glycemic assaults on our nutritional balance, but Georgia has decided to kick childhood obesity right in the nuts, what do you think?
If you wander on over to the Strong4Life website, the group behind the controversial ads, you can … Read more
The first official vote of the 2012 race is today in Iowa. It looks like the result will be a near tie between Paul, Romney and … I can’t believe I’m typing this .. Santorum. Perry and Gingrich are likely to finish a ways back. Bachmann and Santorum are likely to be way back.
This thing has already dragged out over a year and I think I’ve made my opinions of the candidates clear. I … Read more
And professors wonder why everyone thinks Academia is so liberal:
Columbia University will offer a new course for upperclassmen and grad students next semester. An Occupy Wall Street class will send students into the field and will be taught by Dr. Hannah Appel, a veteran of the Occupy movement.
The course begins next semester and will be divided between class work at Columbia’s Morningside Heights campus and fieldwork that will require students to become
Was home today and got a call my Caller ID identified as from a “unassigned” number 425-998-1533 (I will get back to that number in a bit) on which a lady whose accent I immediately placed as Asian told me that my home computer had transmitted an error code to them because of malware infection. Right! That’s beyond the obvious red flag. I suspect that their usual victims must not have a clue about computers, … Read more
As 2012 opens people party but things look bleak here in the US. Unless you live under a rock you are bound to know about the 2012 change of the world – or end of the world – predictions and based on what the Keynesians have done to us, it sure looks like this is the year that it all will happen.. That’s why I was really impressed by what a Business Insider article titled … Read more
I always thought the electric car would create new and exciting jobs. I just didn’t think that the jobs it would be create would be in the fire-fighting and home rebuilding industries:
An electric vehicle manufacturer that received a $529 million loan from the Energy Department is recalling 239 vehicles.
The Transportation Department’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Thursday that the company, Fisker Automotive, will recall its Karma vehicles made between July
Dave Barry reviews 2011, which was a pretty crappy but probably less crappy than previous years. I mean, it can’t be all bad when bin, Laden Gadhafi and Lil’ Kim all went to that Great Torture Chamber Down Below. Still it takes someone like Dave Barry to make us laugh at it.
