Wait, Which One Is It? Obama Plays Both Sides (And More) »

Obama is doing what he likes to do best – campaign. But he is doing it under the auspices of the People’s Business. Uh huh.

Monday Night Open Thread »

Some mighty interesting stories making the rounds today. As many of us expected, the Supercommittee has failed. But it’s official now. Great. Well done, folks. Way to put party before country.

Tofurkey, Texas? Obama,The Harvard Year, And TGIF Open Thread »

Evidently, PETA has managed to do SO Much on behalf of animals, that they are now targeting the names of towns. I am not making this up, I swear.

A whole bunch of numbers are coming out today, but one in particular stands out: as you read this, the US Debt will have reached $15 TRILLION for the first time in history.

Doesn’t that just make you jump for joy to know this? Believe it or not, I am not just talking about Solyndra here. Oh, no. It is a far bigger picture than just that one failed company, though there are more energy programs involved. Peter Schweizer has written a new book, Throw Them All Out: [...]
