Major Update: California’s unemployment rate jumped to an all time high of 11.5% in May (from 11.1% in April). Do the Democrats really think this pivotal electoral state will stay Dem blue if these conditions continue for the rest of the year? How about Florida, where unemployment shot up 4.4% to a whopping 10.2% unemployment […]

One thing about life is there are some absolutes which turn up over and over. First off, inexperienced new administrations make tons of mistakes based on their naive arrogance. Second, the liberal fantasy that government can control or help the economy is a well proven sham. Combine these two and you get a recipe for […]

You know, you can tell when something is really, really poorly done when you can take a few, key paragraphs of the Executive Summary and demonstrate complete inaccuracy with little effort. Such is the case with the latest government report on so called global warming or climate change (pick your spin).   Ironically, the report […]

I can see why the slogan “Where’s My Vote” is catching on in Iran. I have no idea to the validity of this following image – picked it up off a twitter feed – but if it is genuine it clearly shows votes for Mousavi disappearing throughout the day:   From 9.47 AM to 1:53 […]

We may be witnessing history here folks. Instead of dying down, the uprising in Iran seems to be growing and expanding. Here are some interesting reports on the matter. First is from the UK Guardian: But now, public anger over the disputed election has given Iran’s ruling elite a challenge of a new and unsettling […]

Some people are having trouble resolving two bits of polling data that have come out in the last  couple of weeks. The first is a Gallup poll showing ‘conservative’ is the largest self identified political view: The second is a Pew poll showing the GOP as the smallest political party, dwarfed by a growing independent […]

A UK news organization is reporting this interesting tidbit: Mr Mousavi’s wife and co-campaigner, Zahra Ranavard, was reported as warning that riot squads would be equipped with live ammunition, raising the prospect of serious bloodshed. Iran’s Interior Ministry said Mr Mousavi would be responsible for any consequences if he went ahead with the protest. Mr […]

The one thing that could turn the world away from threat of Muslim extremism was, sadly, a fight for the heart and soul of Islam. When this happens (as it did in Iraq in Anbar Province, as it did in Afghanistan with the defeat of Taliban rule, as it is happening in the Tribal Areas […]
