Actor/author/director/satirist Harry Shearer wrote an excellent commentary for CNN about his “adopted hometown: “Does Obama Care About New Orleans.” First he discussed the encouraging news that the city is becoming a leader in charter school enrollment, working to clean up local politics and is a city once again “throbbing with energy” but then Mr. Shearer [...]

(bumped up from yesterday early afternoon) I just happened to catch this Tuesday morning, and thought it raised some interesting questions on the issue of health care reform: So, why isn’t this man helping to shape policy? He sounds pretty smart to me.

This is just shocking. I’m not kidding – this is really frightening. And it is important information as a follow-up to my post about the “Cash for Clunkers” program (major H/T to NQ reader, Politicalidentitycrisis for this link). You are absolutely NOT going to believe this. Don’t be put off by this being Glenn Beck [...]

People are understandably wary about the government handling our health insurance. That would be the CLUNKER program. I trust you have heard about this? If not, here is a short review: Okay. I can see some wisdom in that. It is great to get these old gas guzzlers off the road, recycle the vehicles, have [...]

In today’s LA Times, Peter Nicholas reports White House declines to disclose visits by health industry executives, “citing an argument used by the Bush administration, the Secret Service rejects a request from a watchdog group to list those who have visited the White House to discuss the healthcare overhaul.” Reporting from Washington — Invoking an [...]

What 3rd grade kid ever really enjoyed the multiplication tables? Every youth in Boston would race through those tables in order to get outside and play some street hockey, a much more stimulating experience!! In a slightly perverse way, I think many participants on our economic landscape would prefer some form of youthful entertainment because [...]

When the Oracle of Omaha speaks, people listen. What is Warren Buffett saying now? What does he see on our economic landscape? How do we prepare? We can let Warren be our guide, but let’s make sure we question him aggressively as we manage our own finances. ABC News reports, Warren Buffett Backs Second Stimulus: [...]

Doug Belkin’s WSJ article Chicago Student Killings Spark Appeals to Obama discussed the need for the President to take action regarding gang violence: Chicago Community activists here are calling on President Barack Obama to address inner-city violence after a sharp increase in the number of killings of school-age children. Total homicides in Chicago are down [...]

King of the Pork, John Murtha, has screwed us all big-time. You thought the “Bridge to Nowhere” was bad? Well, it seems the portly representative from Penensylvania has an airport named after him, so insigificant that CNN joked that it had recently been carpeted. So what’s the problem?

Bumped up from March 4th. Why promote a story that’s nearly a month old? In a recent live chat, people were aghast by NYT columnist Paul Krugman’s remarks about Obama’s timid stimulus plan. Here’s why: An effective stimulus has to make the economy sizzle with a rapid-fire, mammoth infusion of cash into the economy-at-large, which [...]

With auto company bailouts highly unpopular with the citizenry, President Barack Obama, who will speak later Monday, felt compelled to shake things up. To be blunt, as Allahpundit puts it, “If you want taxpayer money, you’re going to have to do things The One’s way.” The WSJ reports that GM’s Rick Wagoner and Fritz Henderson [...]

I took notice that Timmy Geithner rolled out his big regulation scheme after the horses have already left the barn and are galloping free without restraints, freed from the reins, the saddles, the crops, or the boots in their bellies. Yes, the scheme arrives after he’s created a “toxic assets” plan that’s a one-sided bet, [...]

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter slams AIG stimulus protections passed in partisan stimulus bill: Rep. McCotter comes from Michigan’s 11th Congressional District and is, yes, a Republican. Here’s his YouTube channel and the link to his House Web site. BELOW, REP. McCOTTER ASKS THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT I DID in my story below which, for short, I’ll [...]

Where were all these self righteous boobs before? What were they thinking? Were they so dazzled by Obama’s smile that they took leave of their senses? Michael Goodwin’s Sunday editorial in the NY Daily News sums it up quite nicely: More than a bad day: Worries grow that Barack Obama & Co. have a competence [...]
