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 [...]

Seventy-two percent (72%) of voters nationwide say passage of the proposed health care plan could lead companies to drop private health insurance coverage for their employees. [...]

Because I know you were worried. Section 2531 (pp. 1431-1433) of the “Bend Over And Take It, America” bill seems tantalizing at first glance. IN GENERAL.—To the extent and in the amounts made available in advance in appropriations Acts, the Secretary shall make an incentive payment, in an amount determined by the Secretary, to each [...]

Viagra antidote Joy Behar interviewed an almost lifelike Gore Vidal on her show I Can’t Shut My Hole and revealed what all this “change in tone” the Obama folk speak of is all about. I’d like to begin by saying something to any American living abroad who comes back to tell us how stupid we [...]
