- Rolling Stone’s Bizarre Cheap Shot At Sarah Palin
March 28, 2011
I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...] - More Disgustingly Overt Reuters Bias
March 24, 2011
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...] - Bloomberg’s “Crash Tax”
March 24, 2011While reading last month’s issue of AAA’s Car & Travel magazine, I was surprised to discover that Bloomberg (with the FDNY behind him) is now trying to push a “crash tax” on anyone involved in a car accident, with such taxes ranging from $365 up to $490, depending on the severity of the crash. The [...]
- Obama’s Abu Ghraib
March 21, 2011The latest news out of Afghanistan is going to be really interesting to follow, if only to see how the media handles it. According to the Guardian and other (so far relatively few) sources, pictures have now made their way out of Afghanistan (courtesy of Germany’s Der Spiegel) showing brutal and psychopathic activities by U.S. [...]
- Sympathy For Israel? Time To Restore “Balance”!
March 16, 2011
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]

Warren Buffet, The New Tax Man With New Math
With all this talk lately of Warren Buffet calling for “millionaires” to pay higher taxes (somehow that term includes not only the 237,000 people who actually DO make over a million dollars, but also another 3.92 million people who make more than $200K, calling the actual sneakily-used term severely into question), we should all... »

Amazon.com FEATURING Galliano on Sister Site
With everyone distancing themselves as quickly as possible from the miserable, vile, despicable anti-Semite, John Galliano, I was incredibly surprised today to find that Amazon.com is actually featuring his products—for children, no less—on their high-end apparel sister site, MyHabit.com. I am absolute amazed by this association with such a rabid, drug-addicted, frothing-at-the-mouth lunatic ,... »
More Cablevision Ranting
Yes, I just wrote about this last night, but after seeing more mentions of this in the news, some of which seemed to defend Cablevision, I wanted to point out a few fallacies in Cablevision’s arguments. Cablevision is claiming that they didn’t pull the programming, News Corp did. Well, when you refuse to pay... »
No Fox? Goodbye Cablevision, Hello Verizon FIOS!
I’m departing momentarily from my usual national and world politics to just vent on a frustration of an entirely different nature: television. In particular, the dispute between Fox and Cablevision. A quick recap for anyone not familiar with the situation: Cablevision is no longer broadcasting the Fox broadcast channel because of a dispute between... »
Paul Krugman vs. Paul Krugman
Last Friday, James Taranto had this hilarious observation in his Best of the Web Today column of Paul Krugman arguing with his past self: Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman takes note in his New York Times column of what he calls “the incredible gap that has opened up between the parties”: Today, Democrats and... »
Harry Reid: Only 36,000 Lost Their Jobs Today, Which Is Really Good!”
Here’s Harry Reid (D-NV) today, saying, “Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.” You just gotta see it to believe it: »
Israel and Market Capitalism
Yes, I know, the title of this post sounds a bit dry, but trust me, the article written by George Gilder, entitled “Silicon Israel”, is an incredible story of how far Israel has come in such an incredibly short time, and how it is still growing by leaps and bounds. Read it here. »

A little while back, I got the following in a mass email and thought it was interesting enough to share, so enjoy! GET USED TO OUR NEW ECONOMIC SYSTEM Barnyard Economic Lesson The little red hen asked, “Who will help me plant my wheat to bake some bread?” “Not I,” said the cow. “Not... »
Plenty of Clunkers, No Cash
It seems that all the air is rushing out of Obama’s quickly-deflating “Cash-For-Clunkers” balloon. Aside from the growing criticism over the waste of functional cars, and the energy/carbon cost of each car’s destruction, and the huge amounts of taxpayers’ money that Congress has been throwing at this… there is now yet another growing complaint.... »
Public Option Debate: Red Herring?
Richard H. Thaler, professor of economics and behavioral science at the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, wrote a piece in the Sunday Times about health care’s “public option” and how this is a red herring, distracting from the issue of real reform. While everyone is arguing about whether or not... »
Health Care Costs Better Than Stimulus Packages
Craig S. Karpel, author of The Retirement Myth, has written a great opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago pointing out a very glaring—yet somehow overlooked—contradiction in Obama’s position regarding the economy. Obama has said, “make no mistake: the cost of our health care is a threat to our... »
