Say what you will about The Daily Show, this is funny stuff. Also, if anyone wants to let me in on the difference between private property and personal property, I’d be forever grateful!

Obama Elbowed During B-Ball Game, Gets Stitches
November 27, 2010 By
I’m sure you’ve heard the story by now, but you can find it here if your Black Friday shopping distracted you from the news of the day yesterday.
My first first thought when I saw this story was, “wow, you have to be a pretty brave person to throw an elbow at the President!” However, I now think that Rey Decerega, the elbower, must have a big brass set. Not only did he elbow Obama in the mouth, this was his response:
“I learned today the president is both a tough competitor and a good sport,” the statement said. “I enjoyed playing basketball with him this morning. I’m sure he’ll be back out on the court again soon.”
As Matt Drudge pointed out, he didn’t even bother to offer a public apology! That’s a vicious competitor right there!
Reason.tv’s Porkers Of The Month For November

W. To Hannity: “I Wish [Jeb] Would Run”
November 8, 2010 By
Yep:
On whether he thinks his brother Jeb will ever be President:
“I wish he would. He has to run first. And he has made it clear he is not running in 2012. And when the man says, ‘I’m not running,’ he means it. I wish he would run.
In a lot of ways, I feel sorry for Jeb Bush. Don’t get me wrong, dad & brother are big government Republicans, so I wouldn’t expect any different from Jeb. However, from what I’ve heard, Jeb is the “smart” Bush (though I think the others aren’t dumb, just had some problems with presentation). Unfortunately for him, but most likely fortunate for us, he comes from a family who’s brand name is very damaged. If he were to ever be President, I don’t think he could hope for anything sooner than a 2020 run, but I’m pretty much convinced his family is done in that office…unless a grandchild or someone younger than that comes along later.

“Teacher’s Unions Gone Wild”
October 27, 2010 By
That being said, I’m not a fan of unions. I’m pretty sure an organization that keeps incompetent employees from being fired is contrary to how a free market is suppose to work.

Only 21 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Socialism and Communism are looking like a real threat to the U.S. Pity how quickly people forget the failures of these systems.

Non-News Item Of The Day: People Are Dissapointed With Obama
September 27, 2010 By
LINK: Poll: Rocky road seen ahead for Obama (Politico)
Yeah, that’s hardly a shocker considering all that’s gone on since his election. You don’t get reactions like the Tea Party when people approve of what you’re doing.
Now, will Obama actually be booted from office in a couple of years? Honestly, I doubt it. My expectation right now is that the Republicans will gain the majority in the House and Senate, not make the changes people want, thus causing the voting public to swing back to the Democrats to fix what’s wrong. Ultimately, I think we’re stuck with the current state of the country, and neither side will change anything.
CBS Washington Unplugged: H1N1 Cases Exaggerated?

I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I do find myself wondering why such a big deal is being made of Swine Flu when it’s no more dangerous than the plain ol’ seasonal flu.
Obama: "We had too little government…"
September 22, 2009 By
So, the economy is a mess because Obama’s cronies decided that home ownership is a right, got the banks to give out a bunch of sub-prime adjustable-rate mortgages, those mortgages were defaulted on, and the debt that was sold from one company to the next is now coming due and companies are crumbling because they need their money.
How would more government have prevented this, when the government caused it?

Yet Another Reason The VP Shouldn't Talk To People
April 30, 2009 By
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
According to NBC New York, the Vice President’s Office issued the following statement after the interview:
The advice he is giving family members is the same advice the administration is giving all Americans: That they should avoid unnecessary air travel to and from Mexico. If they are sick, they should avoid airplanes and other confined public spaces, such as subways. This is the advice the vice president has given family members who are traveling by commercial airline this week. . .
My question: Considering that the regular ol’ flu kills annually around 250,000 people worldwide, and 30,000 or so just in the U.S., shouldn’t we always be in a state of panic? Or maybe, just maybe, is the problem that we’re blowing the whole swine flu thing out of proportion at this early stage?
Barack Obama: Anti-Business "Manchurian Candidate?"
March 9, 2009 By
This is an interesting little article. However, I think it’s still to early in Obama’s administration to really know what he’s trying to do. If anything, I think it comes down to something I heard on the radio during the election; Democrats like jobs, but dislike businesses. Basically, there’s some deep-seeded belief that businesses are evil, and have super-deep pockets that will allow them to pay a boat-load of taxes. Both assumptions depend on the people in charge. With the economy like it is, large companies have less money, and the smaller ones are just struggling to stay above water. So, believing assumption #2 to be correct when it’s not could lead one to believe the destruction of capitalism is a goal, when the jury is still out at this point.

Chatter In The Outfield: Obama Takes Another Shot At Fox Cable News
February 24, 2009 By
From CBS:
It’s not “press coverage” that bothers President Obama. It’s “cable chatter.”
Basically, he’s griping that the complaints of cable pundits don’t amount to “honest debate,” but are nothing more than “nitpicking.”
I’m not concerned about him being bothered; let’s face it, any public figure is going to get criticism ranging from legitimate debate to the absolute “so-and-so is an idiot” statements of opinion that come from people who just like to espouse their opinions. It comes with the job.
My bigger concern is where he goes from here. If his annoyance ends here, excellent. If he tries to silence the chatter, that’d be one of the worst moves he could make. I guess I’ll just sit back and watch!
Study: Guantanimo Is Legal
February 22, 2009 By
From the WaPo:
A Pentagon review of conditions at the Guantanamo Bay military prison has concluded that the treatment of detainees meets the requirements of the Geneva Conventions but that prisoners in the highest-security camps should be allowed more religious and social interaction, according to a government official who has read the 85-page document.
So, does this mean Gitmo stays open? I wouldn’t put money on it. The liberal view is always going to be that torture is morally wrong, and that these people should be in a normal prison, tying up our legal system, or just sent home (where they can regroup and attack us again). I expect Obama to stay on that side of the fence, no matter what any study he commissions says.

Daschle Is Out
February 3, 2009 By
From Fox News:
Tom Daschle has withdrawn his nomination for health and human services secretary, after fielding mounting criticism over his failure to pay more than $130,000 in taxes.
His claim is that he doesn’t want to be a distraction, but I like to think he got the message that the American people don’t want a tax-evader who’ll probably stand behind tax increases (at least in spirit) in a position of power.
Kudos to Jim DeMint for being so vocal about this.
