Obama vs. PETA
I never thought there could actually be an update to the Obama versus the fly story, but this is just ridiculous.
There is really absolutely nothing to say about this story besides the fact that the people at PETA are sick in the head.

Obamas, salt of the Earth, getting nothing done
The Obamas were incredibly unimpressive today, but what else is new.
Drudge led off the day with a funny headline noting that Michelle’s White House garden seems to be on steroids, considering that it has already bloomed. What’s more offensive than that is the horrendously long speech she gives to go along with it.
Despite the impressive showing, Michelle’s act of being one with nature would be outdone by Barack. Continue Reading »
A big day in the law
The Supreme Court today has some major, important cases that popped up today. It’s rare I can look at what the court did any one day and actually be happy with most of the results.
First, Justice Ginsburg got one right. (But yes, I had to put up a terrible photo of her anyway). She stayed the sale of Chrysler to Fiat in order for SCOTUS to hear the case. Imagine that– the Supreme Court might be worried about the Obama administration deciding, on a whim, to throw out contract law!
Chicken or the egg dilemma on government spending
[Benefits spending soars to new high]
[U.S. unemployment hits record but job losses slow]
Two interesting, and in my view, conflicting stories this morning. One tells us that thanks to government spending, 16% of all Americans’ income comes from the government. In other news, unemployment rises, but at a lower rate. Which begs the question, which came first?
Obviously, there are some people who would be on public assistance no matter what. However, with the rapid government spending and taxes increasing in many states, it is unclear if the government’s actions pushed people to the unemployment line. Continue Reading »
Remembering Tianamen Square
Both Democrat and Republican administrations have failed in dealing with China, and have been especially soft in dealing with their serious human rights violations. Republicans have been able to turn a blind eye in favor of the economic benefits despite their communist regime. Democrats are also hypocritical in light of their worldview of the role of the US military as a humanitarian organization.
And now, 20 years after the Tianamen Square massacre, no one seems to be terribly interested in remembering it. Continue Reading »
Comrade Obama
[Venezula Chavez says "Comrade" Obama more left wing
]
Not surprisingly, Hugo Chavez, the dictator of Venezuela, has picked up quicker on what we are doing to our country than most of the people here have done.
Chavez is on the ball when he mentions that the nationalization of GM is particularly important. The symbolism of it is frightening.
What is worse is not only that GM has been sold to the government, more or less. It is that the government is now going to dictate what type of vehicles we can drive. Continue Reading »
Cheney 1, Obama 0 in unexpected showdown
[Barack Obama v. Dick Cheney: Just the facts]
In light of last night’s foiled terror plot in the Bronx, the debate on terrorism has found its way back to the front page. Despite the fact that the issue was a low priority in November, the recent spat between the former VP and Obama shows that when it comes to the surface, the GOP still looks very strong.
I didn’t realize Dick Cheney was now the leader of the Republican Party, but as long as Obama keeps paying attention to him, the right is looking much better. Obama’s premise that America is now more dangerous because of our detainment of terrorists at Guantanamo Bay is so utterly ridiculous that there is almost anyone could look good arguing against that. (Which, of course, means John McCain has to back Obama on the issue: God forbid he do anything to oppose a Democrat). What makes it even worse is that Obama’s solution to put the prisoners in American jails on actual American soil is downright offensive to American sensibilities. Continue Reading »
