Dear Governor Christie: About That $6 Billion You Just Forfeited
Dear Governor Christie:
Thanks to your stubbornness and short-sighted vision for New Jersey, it looks like you’re going to forfeit $6 billion in funding to build a desperately needed new transit tunnel to Manhattan:
The decision casts a dark shadow over the economic future of New Jersey. The State will lose out on an astonishing $6 [...]
Tennessee Fire: We Learn Nothing.
Charlie Poole, “The Baltimore Fire”
As I’ve been reading about the unnecessary loss of a home in Tennessee, and find myself wondering why this conversation is even occurring.
A local neighborhood is furious after firefighters watched as an Obion County, Tennessee, home burned to the ground.
The homeowner, Gene Cranick, said he offered to pay whatever [...]
Compare and Contrast
Anonymous White House Coward:
A senior White House official just called me with a very pointed message for the administration’s sometime allies in organized labor, who invested heavily in beating Blanche Lincoln, Obama’s candidate, in Arkansas.
“Organized labor just flushed $10 million of their members’ money down the toilet on a pointless exercise,” the official said. “If [...]
Time for Another Round of “No Shit, Sherlock”
UPDATED BELOW
sigh:
I simply do not understand the enthusiasm gap, and you manic progressives can figure out how you are going to change your script from blaming Obama for not being liberal enough, because this is Feingold we are talking about.
Really, John? You don’t understand the enthusiasm gap? Because I’ve been reading your site for [...]
the Democratic Party’s New Logo SUCKS

I mean seriously: is everyone just asleep at the wheel [...]

here’s the garbage the Inquirer chose to peddle to its dwindling readership today:
“Americans Make Too Much Money, an argument for lower wages (predicated on the idea that desperate people with children to feed will be more likely to accept lower wages, depressing paychecks for everyone), and “We can’t Sustain Public Pensions”, which argues that governments [...]

Read More..>>No Shit, Sherlock Part Two
Another reason my blogging has tapered off is that so much of what’s going on in the world can be reduced to one post, over and over and over again: “No Shit, Sherlock”:
As Barack Obama appeared on television Tuesday to declare the end of the U.S. combat role in Iraq, were viewers happiest in Baghdad, [...]
when racist idiots get what they want
Most of the shopping center on the corner of 43rd Avenue and Thomas Road in Phoenix is vacant. Merchants blame a law intended to drive illegal immigrants out of Arizona. (Nicholas Riccardi / Los Angeles Times)
here’s some news of the utterly predictable: Phoenix Arizona’s economy is collapsing because they chased away all the Latinos:
Every time [...]
Hey Dick Durbin, Shut Up.
After Tony Hayward makes his ridiculous and impossible promise to “clean up every drop of oil”, Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois engages in some pointless grandstanding. It starts around the 6-minute mark and goes like this:
BP, in my mind no longer stands for “British Petroleum”: it stands for “Beyond Patience”. People have been waiting 34 [...]
