The NY Daily News, to their credit, isn’t letting the City Controller candidates off without proving their worthy of the job (thankfully, because the Post has utterly ignored the contest altogether). David Weprin and Melinda Katz, when asked about the size of the budget for the controller’s office, didn’t fare very well. A member of [...] There’s a lot of talk in the news since Ted Kennedy died about how we can best honor his memory. I think there’s a great way to do it and one we should already be working on. It goes like this. If you knowingly leave the scene of an accident involving your motor vehicle for which [...] I read something this morning I won’t even bother linking back to because it was such bull it wasn’t worth the 3 minutes of my time it actually took to read. If you haven’t already watched IT.tv Episode 52, go back and do it. I’ll post it below for your easy reference. Keeping that video in [...] var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, twitter, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more’; White House Spokesman Bill Burton: Joking that it may have been “wishful thinking” to suggest Obama’s current trip out of Washington would coincide with a news-free week, Burton quipped that the president needs a “break from his vacation.” For the second time in just a few days, however, the deputy press secretary emphasized that Obama hasn’t disengaged [...] “one would much rather that twenty guilty persons should escape the punishment of death, than that one innocent person should be condemned and suffer capitally.” -Sir John Fortescue, 1470 In a withering critique, a nationally known fire scientist has told a state commission on forensics that Texas fire investigators had no basis to rule a deadly house [...] Man, Jonah Goldberg just lays into President Obama, guns a-blazin’ and completely dissects the race climate in this country in a profound way. Here are a few choice quotes from Mr. Goldberg in a piece that made me jump for joy, mainly in that someone with a bit of exposure was finally saying what’s been bugging [...] var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, twitter, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more’; From the NY Daily News: We could call it doubling down on a mistake. Or drawing a partisan line in the sand. But this is Barack Obama and his favorite movie is – I’m not making this up – “The Godfather,” so let’s stick with the mob theme. The Obama Family is going to the mattresses. With his [...] I’m very much anti-death penalty. There was a time when I was all about fryin’ the bad guys, but that time’s long since passed. I don’t think I could watch anyone get the death penalty in 2009 with a clear conscience. I strongly believe that, in matters of life and death, God [...] Lest you think politics is anything but a cult of personality rather than a contest to determine the best leaders for a government, you need only look at the upcoming mayoral race in New York City. DC37, the largest municipal union, under the Working Families Party banner have endorsed Bill Thompson for Mayor. The usual [...] You gotta love the left in this country. Barney Frank is being heralded as some kind of great hero today after dressing down some dingbat at a townhall meeting who invoked Hitler. Yay! I wonder how many times he rehearsed that line in front of a mirror, just hoping he’d be able to uncork [...] var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, twitter, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more’; So now the narrative has changed again, and Sarah Palin is being accused of being hypocritical on “death panels.” The problem is she’s not only not hypocritical, but yet again the media is slinging pitchforks and torches at “the stupid one” to discredit her. Here’s the rub: it isn’t working. Here’s what she had [...] Well well well… It would appear that the Washington Post, not exactly a bastion of conservative thought, has caught on to something said here a week ago, and that’s that the President’s mantra of “you can keep your plan” is, to put it lightly, bull. Under the House legislation, many companies eventually would have to [...] The US’s cash-for-clunkers scheme, designed to bolster Detroit’s embattled carmakers, is turning out to be an even bigger boon for their Japanese rivals. According to data published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Monday, Americans are using the scrappage incentives to buy more vehicles from Toyota than any of the three Detroit carmakers. Toyota has [...] While the US system that was being proposed didn’t exactly match Canada’s single payer model, everyone but the simplest of Obama drones knows that’s the end game (just ask the President; he said himself he envisioned a country where 15 years down the line we’d have a single payer system). Canadians like to chide us for [...] I’ve heard the idea that the “Link Economy” as it’s called is the future of monetization on the web. The concept is simple: incoming links from as many sources as possible equals dollars. Lately, this has been brought loud and proud to the forefront as the AP tries to figure out new and [...] var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, twitter, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more’; |
