Yes, more numbers to report to you you today. “Tens of Thousands” is the phrase the Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the numbers of people marching on Washington yesterday, voicing their concerns over the rampant spending by Congress. “Tens of thousands” has apparently become a euphemism for 1.2 [...]

It’s not just Republicans who are upset about Charlie Rangel’s rampant hypocrisy, as I reported recently (”Oh, Charlie“), but any American who works hard, pays his/her taxes, and follows the rules. Oh, and obeys the tax laws even though they haven’t WRITTEN any of them. Rangel cannot say the same, and pressure continues [...]

Much as I hate giving Bill Maher press, I just can’t help myself. His article, Enough with the Obamathon, appearing in the Friday LA Times, lets us share our first up close and personal glimpse of Mr. Maher’s head exploding as he exhibits growing irritation with his messiah…:
President Obama should just join the cast [...]

What will the future hold for GM? I believe there are three potential scenarios, with likely overlap in the short run but less overlap over the long haul. Let’s see if the real GM is behind:
Door #1: A Revitalized and Profitable General Motors
Behind this door, for GM to be a viable entity they need to [...]

“Trust me.”
Have you ever walked away from a discussion with a person–be it a boss, a business associate, a prospective partner–in which you wondered why they felt the need to make that statement? In regard to trust, I feel much more comfortable when others assert, “you can trust him” rather than an individual asserting, “trust [...]

That’s what the Germans seem to think of Secretary Clinton, anyway. It seems they are asking her to help deal with the GM mess as it relates to them, according to this article (H/T to Ani for alerting me to this). Why, you might ask? Because it affects them, too, in a big [...]

Hell to the yes, he did. You want to guess about what he lied? The Census and ACORN workers, that is. Oh yeah - our fears come true:

Susan’s Note: I did not write this story. I posted it on behalf of Uppity Woman and forgot to change the author name. Thankfully, Uppity Woman is kind about my being absent-minded. Please thank Uppity for this story!
Congratulations, Comrades and Comradesses!!

The other day, a friend asked me if it was really so bad for the government to run a corporation, and added that they do some of that over in Britain. My answer was, “Yes, yes it is.” For a whole host of reasons of which I can think (and feel free to [...]

Ford passed Toyota to become the No. 2 car seller in the U.S. in April of this year.
See the UPDATE at end of story.
*You’re Ahead In A Ford All The Way – Ford Ad slogan 1950s-60s.
Ford, the American carmaker most likely to survive the auto implosion without going bankrupt or taking government aid, deserves credit [...]

This past week has been a bit up and down. NH and Maine passed same sex marriage laws - YAY! And we find out more gay and lesbian soldiers have been kicked out of the military - BOO. Obama continues to morph into Bush, as I have noted on numerous occasions, but most [...]

Editor’s Note: Stay tuned for the next story up by Larry Doyle, “Hedge Fund Manager Responds to Barack’s Bullying.”
Just three days ago, No Quarter, a handful of blogs and a thimbleful of major media caught on to the Chrysler holdout firms’ attorney, Tom Lauria, and his accusations that Obama’s auto czar, Steven Rattner, threated to [...]

What is the Constitutionality of a Newspaper Bailout? That was the question recently posed by Jeff Bercovici of Conde Nast’s Portfolio.com. This issue has come to the fore because various members of Congress are currently considering such an action.
Without even commenting as to any possible First Amendment breach by virtue of [...]

Well would you look at the Piece of Crap GM hopes to put on the road? A death trap named PUMA, of all things.
How come Ralph Nader doesn’t spend more time doing what he was actually good at instead of running for President? There was a time when Ole Ralph would have had a [...]

See, this is what worries me most. As Nocturnal Warrior said over and over again tonight on his otherwise light and hilarious show, we have the “Resume President.” And this move was solely because Obama’d been perceived as soft on AIG, so he wanted to be seen as tough, and add “Tough Guy” [...]

(This is essential reading that I bumped up - Susan)
Remember when George Bush and Dick Cheney could rely on the many in the media to help them euphemize that dirty word, “torture?” It wasn’t torture, it was “enhanced interrogation.” That’s like calling the amputation of a leg, “enhanced skin removal below the waist.” [...]
