Hi, I am getting the feel of the controls here and making sure everything works as expected. Please disregard.

I have asked WWS and Crosspatch to step in for a few days and guest blog for the site while I am distracted on other matters. DJStrata will also hopefully drop a post or two in.  Don’t be surprised to see me posting on occasion as well. So please welcome our guest bloggers! AJStrata

Whoever got the lame brain idea government spending – fueled by running up massive deficits and debt – would ‘stimulate’ the economy is eating some crow now that the government’s own key indicators show no evidence of any stimulus: The recovery lost momentum in the spring as growth slowed to a 2.4 percent pace, its most [...]

Option title: Greed & Graft at the Public Trough. I found the above image on a UK blog (click through to read) commenting on the number of UK bureaucrats making more than the Prime Minister. The numbers are all embarrassingly low compared to the $800,000 a year one city manager was making in a poor [...]

In World War II the rallying cry was “Remember the Arizona”- to recall the attack on Pearl Harbor and unite in fighting for the survival of the nation and its unique constitutional form of government. It is ironic how the cycle of human history can evolve around something so innocuous as a name. In 2010, [...]

As if we need to see any more whacky, stupid liberal ideas this year, but this latest one takes the cake: The bill, which passed on a 28-to-9 vote, now heads to Democratic Governor Deval Patrick’s desk. The governor has said in the past that he supports the bill, said his spokeswoman Kim Haberlin. Under [...]

As they say: “Follow the money” The Dems can claim all day long they will win in November, but that is just propaganda-speak for the gullible.  Just last week the Dems purchased $28 million in ad buys for 40 endangered D-congress-critters, ranging from freshmen to committee chairmen. That purchase represented 82% of their congressional war [...]

Playing endless rounds of golf and playing with our health care have not endeared our young and inexperienced president to the American people. So much so his approval ratings continue to slide, pulling down the entire Democrat political industrial complex with him. This snapshot of the RCP presidential approval index is quite enlightening: There are [...]

Global warming is actually man-made. It is the creation of a few left wing zealots trying to cash the Green Business boom and government tax receipts using fictitious data. The fact is, to this date, the NASA GISS scientist cherry pick and delete actual measurement data to create the impression there is global warming, when [...]

The CBO has come out with a bleak report on the nation’s economic future. The headliner is how badly Obamacare bends the cost curve – up! CBO projects that if current laws do not change, federal spending on major mandatory health care programs will grow from roughly 5 percent of GDP today to about 10 [...]

So far what I have read on the leaked Afghan reports indicates there is a lot of ‘nothing’ there, except a detailed listing of how information flows from the field in times of war. The Washington Post is painfully muted in its declarations: One report from the spring of 2007 refers to witnesses who saw [...]

Oliver Stone epitomizes modern ‘thinking’ on the left. He is borderline insane and completely without a soul. As the man has aged his dark heart continues to come out if its shriveled, little hiding place – to make pronouncements such as this: Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times [...]

Can government save or fix the economy? Or do the busy-bodies in DC do more harm than good? Folks, that is the primary question for this year’s election, and of the decade to come. Democrats have been on a mad, far-left spending spree for two years now, one which is threatening to bankrupt generations to [...]

(Select the image to review some of Baghdad Bob’s classic claims) Despite all the delusional and misleading denials by DC Democrats regarding their chances this coming election (especially that schtick by “Beltway Biden” this last week on ABC News), the reality of the Democrats’ situations is clear when you focus on where they are spending [...]

The democrat party, as a whole, is learning a harsh lesson these days. Where they naively thought success was measured by the amount of crap produced, they are now learning that the quality or success of their labors is the greater measure by far. If they could do one thing well they would be on [...]
