One of my contributions to PJTV’s year-end “Eleven in Two” series.

Let us begin with some more painfully childish hysteria mongering from the climate change freaks. This follows the usual pattern: make up an authoritative sounding title (Director of Sustainability), talk about the latest Magic 8 Ball computer model predictions and try to scare the general public. This time, they’re threatening to take away your coffee [...]

Irony illustrated. The recession is taking a toll on union jobs, which are disappearing in California at a faster rate than anywhere else in the country, according to a UCLA study published Monday. In the 12 months ending in June, the union membership rate dropped from 18.3% to 17.6% in California and from 12.4% to [...]

Image is everything Since his impossible schedule prohibits Vice President Joe Biden from making it around to every stimulus spending project across the country, the government has come up with the idea of posting project signs to show your $787 billion of hard-earned future tax money at work. Even if you no longer are at [...]

It all depends on what you’re seeing here. For the first time, the US has more government workers than goods-producing workers If you get a feeling of free-falling into the dark bowels of an unsustainable future, you’re a conservative. If, on the other hand, “Happy Days Are Here Again” begins playing in the back of [...]

If only Harry Reid was capable of a Grinch-like epiphany. Senate Democrats are celebrating this morning for passing their version of health care reform, but voters still don’t like much of what they see. At the start of the week, 41% of voters nationwide were in favor of the health care bill, but 55% were [...]

This just popped up in my inbox. The site from the NSRC gives multiple options for contacting the Senators who might be wavering. They’ve even written the tweets for all the Twitter activists. Hey, it’s better than rolling over and playing dead while the freight train is barreling toward you.

Remember the drunken hordes chanting “O-BAM-A!”? That was SO 2008. Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false as his Tuesday address announcing America’s new strategy for Afghanistan. It seemed like a campaign speech combined with Bush rhetoric — and left both dreamers and realists feeling distraught. One can hardly blame [...]

A classic example of why I don’t believe any of the snake oil sales pitch about health care costs. Maybe when you print money all day, it becomes easier to spend. A Republican congressman is taking a hard look at a program in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing that would give hundreds of senior [...]

And I don’t want to be friends. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. Most (52%) remain opposed. Only 25% Strongly Support the plan while 42% are Strongly Opposed. Hardly the “everybody wants it” scenario the elected goons in [...]
