Update: Bloomberg notes:
Unemployment is projected to keep rising for the rest of the year just as the income boost from the stimulus package fades, undermining prospects for a sustained rebound in household purchases, analysts said. As companies fromGeneral Motors Corp. to Kimberly-Clark Corp. cut costs, the lack of jobs will restrain growth.
“This will be another jobless recovery,” [...]

This is just getting ridiculous.

OBAMA: Debbie is a perfect example of somebody who we should, in a country this wealthy, be able to provide coverage for her health care problems. … So, Debbie, you are Exhibit A, and we appreciate you serving — sharing our story.
So: who, exactly, was Exhibit A? The Associated Press has a little [...]

Seems the Pakistanis have really soured on their violent Islamo Fascist neighbors in the tribal areas:
MORE than 80 per cent of Pakistanis view the Taleban as a critical threat to the country, a poll released yesterday said.
It marked a major shift in public support behind the government’s campaign against the fundamentalist Muslim militants. The turn [...]

Update: Well, the ADP numbers are out and - as predicted - the job situation is worsening:
Companies in the U.S. cut more jobs than forecast in June, according to a private report today, showing the labor market will be slow to improve even as other parts of the economy indicate the recession is abating.
The 473,000 [...]

Rep. Ron Paul introduced a bill in February that would require the GAO to audit the Federal Reserve by the end of 2010. Although Paul wants to get rid of the Fed all together, he has received 245 co-sponsors for the bill.
With the Federal Reserve holding interest rates at rock-bottom levels, pumping trillions into the [...]

Sorry, couldn’t resist to note when a scientifically challenged reporter attempts to play smart around those of us who really do know science (and the fact the Earth has been cooling for a decade).

 
Hey, while the Obama-Pelosi-Reid job stimulus package fails, you can always run to New York and sell your children for spare parts to the rich and famous:
New York has become the first state to allow taxpayer-funded researchers to pay women for giving their eggs for embryonic stem cell research, a move welcomed by many scientists [...]

It is amazing what people are willing to believe, even when there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I found this article to be both humorous and sad. Sad because the Obama administration tells a flat out lie and the pliant media run to repeat it without challenge, and too many actually will believe it:
The US [...]

 
We have been blessed with a set of beautiful twin girls - identical except one has genetic challenge. We also have to wonderful older children. DJStrata, our first, posts here often. And SJStrata who I am proud to announce has made it through Marine boot camp and the school of Infantry. Each was a gift. [...]

I know that my dad will probably write more on the but, Sen. Inhofe has ordered an investigation of the EPA. An analyst wrote a report saying that the EPA was using out of date science. Read more here.

If you are not watching C-SPAN do so now. Rep John Boehner is going through the 300 page, 3:00 AM amendment to the 1200 page disastrous energy bill. He is reading it in and challenging many of the comments, tearing a new one for Waxman-Markey.
A few examples just jumped out. First off, it is mandated [...]

And interesting thought experiment is to think about Michael Jackson’s treatment under ObamaCare. We know a large group of doctors spent over an hour trying to resuscitate Jackson.  Think of all that expense spent on trying to save a drug user. Under ObamaCare it would seem to be a waste of money. Think of how [...]

Update: Conyers plead guilty and is now convicted of bribery. No more ‘alleged’ or ‘charged’ - she is a criminal. - end update
OK, I do know which is the worser of two evils. Cheating politician spouses are not honorable our upstanding people, but their crime is against their partner - not the people they represent. [...]

Well, we seem to be assured that the end of liberalism will be a spectacular failure. Between the failed liberal economic stimulus package - which is not stimulating any new jobs - and the energy tax & trade bill being voted on in the house, we could see an economic depression coming our way.
The American [...]

 
I have pondered how to write this post. I am a huge fan of Michael Jackson’s music. I am not a huge fan of what Michael had become, as the soul killing Hollywood culture mutilated this fine young man over the years. From early reports it seems his circle of sycophants finally completed their endless damage on [...]
