Well, here we are a little over 7 months since the faux liberal stimulus bill went into effect (2/17/09) and there has been absolutely no job stimulus. The latest unemployment numbers are out and we still see ever increasing unemployment (U3: now at a 26 year high) and underemployment (U6: reaching a staggering 17%). The […]

The bad economic news keeps rolling in this weekend as we learn a generation of young people may have permanent scars as a result of the failed liberal stimulus bill and its moronic reliance on government jobs programs to lift this nation out of the Great Recession: The unemployment rate for young Americans has exploded […]

There are indicators all over the place flashing red on the Democrats as they rush headlong into political implosion. By being hell bent on pushing through partisan, hyper-liberal policies that the broad center of America opposes, they will make themselves the nation’s lightening rod for all their frustration and anger built up over decades in […]

It’s the economy, stupid. A famous one-liner from James Carville that reminded the last Democrat administration that ideology is all well and good, but if the economy is not performing the voters will not tolerate or accept a bunch of ideology in place of jobs and financial security. In 1994 the last attempt by liberals […]

I have noticed that the old media (every outlet shocked by the combined wisdom that comes crashing out of the electronic media and electronic public square) has been screwing up and self destructing for years. As one of those strange creatures who brought home the Mosaic Browser to play with (first browser, only site on […]

My previous posts on the 9/12/09 Tea Party are here and here, but I wanted to note some early indications I see that the Tea Party protests have seriously changed the dynamics in DC.

Updates Below I have been doing some research analyzing photos and crowd data to try and ascertain the crowd size of the 9/12/09 Tea Party protests (which I blogged on here). It seems the best, most recent reference point is President Obama’s inauguration, which was estimated at 1.8-2.0 million people. If you look at the […]

(Note: All images can be viewed full sized by clicking image) Update: I should have explained my rationale for assessing the Obama inauguration to the 9/12/09 Tea Party. The Inauguration took up more square footage on the mall, but the demonstration was not packed into seats but crammed in and hanging on top of everything […]

Updated Below The blatant arrogance of a young and inexperienced President trying to spin his failures is always something to behold. It usually is a combination of denial and panic, leading to completely obvious flights of fantasy. This White House has taken this denial to an all new level. In the case of the now […]

If Camille Paglia is a typical, left-of-center Obama voter then the Democrats are in for a world of hurt over the next to election cycles: As an Obama supporter and contributor, I am outraged at the slowness with which the standing army of Democratic consultants and commentators publicly expressed discontent with the administration’s strategic missteps […]
