It’s probably too soon to call the Obama presidency a failure, but if he doesn’t stand up to Congress and show some leadership soon, you’ll be seeing more articles like this. It also doesn’t help that he can’t find anyone to work for him who doesn’t have a background of tax evasion, conf...

The recall fight is apparently about to get underway.  Now, I’m no fan of Plusquellic, but he did win the last election, and as far as I know, has committed no atrocity on the body politic since. No criminal outrages, scandals, spectacular bouts of incompetence, etc.  Sure, his indentured servit...

On Michelle Obama's arms. It's the kind of relentless, follow every lead, turn over every rock, let the chips fall where they may, no holds barred, speaking truth to power investigation that we've come to expect from CNN. I can just see the editorial conference now, the scene, news editor's office, ...

This is high-larry-ous. Did environment (NYU) or genetics make these morons? Even these sorry excuses for humans raise philosophical questions. If ever a video captured a self important, whiney, condescending-whilst-snots-dripping-down-your-nose student, this is it. This video alone will reduce the ...

Bloomberg reports on Obama’s speech to the mayors on the Obama-Reid-Pelosi Debt Plan: “President Barack Obama said his administration is requiring ‘unprecedented responsibility and accountability’ as the nation implements a $787 billion economic-stimulus package enacted this month. ‘The Am...

Justin Higgins detects some spin. It's almost like journalists were auditioning for jobs in the administration or something... I haven't read up much on Obama's plan, but two things jump out: a) The final tab will be way more than $75 billion. Could be $275 billion. Will likely be much more, once in...

I know that as a conservative, I'm definitionally deficient in human feeling, but as much as I try, I can't feel sorry for the 40 watt bulb who's pet chimp nearly killed someone. And I don't feel sorry for the chimp either. True confession time: I haven't tried very hard. This moron kept a 200 lb wi...

Screw you. Not surprising; for all of the clamor Democrats make about the poor, they are not that interested in actually helping them. Wal Mart, of course, is absolutely evil, offering as it does a) low prices and higher standard of living, and b) good entry level jobs that may have a future. Typica...

Apparently, there's still something in Akron called the “Inventor's Hall of Fame�, more recently styled “ Inventure Place�. You may remember that; it was Akron's response to Cleveland's tossing away millions on the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame�. Eerie similarity: Both “Halls� seem to ...

According to Superintendent David James, it’s not very good. Falling enrollment, from 34,000 in 1992 to 23,800 students today. That’s a 30% decline over the past 17 years. Union contracts. He’s hoping to get a one year extension of the current deal, and some cost relief on the benefits package...
