Closing the Browser Tabs – Back in the Saddle Thursday Edition
I didn’t blog much yesterday because I was over at Hot Air doing a guest-blogging gig. You can read my two posts here and here. You may enjoy the second, on a gripping Rolling Stone interview with Justin Bieber a bit more than the first, which deals more with the coming budget fight. The commentariat [...]
The Delivery Presents – A Rush Rebuttal and Sports Talk with Ashley
Episode 78 is ready for your listening and downloading pleasure. I’m rather pleased with how the show came out and a little bit surprised that I’ve taken to the long-form rant format as well as I have. Unlike a lot of radio and podcasts hosts, I don’t like to yell at my listeners. When I [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Choke on the Budget Wednesday Edition.
The President released his budget this week and holy cow is it a monster. The outcry against it was so loud that he scheduled a press conference today to explain how it wasn’t nearly as bad as we think it is. It didn’t help, even with an extra helping of fear-mongering. In the end, Steve [...]
Look Out Darryl! The Keyboard Commandos Are After You!
I guess if you don’t like what the messenger is about to say, you can always attack the messenger. Wait, did I say attack? What I meant was clumsily threaten and intimidate. Democrats are understandably obsessed with Darrell Issa — he’s built himself up as a one-man investigative machine aimed straight at the Obama presidency. But [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Springtime Tuesday Edition
Monday was the day Winter lost its hold on us. Sure, it’ll be cold for just a little while longer, but Winter is beaten and, believe me, it knows. The temps approached 70 degrees yesterday, with a high warm sun and plenty of springtime breezes that became Winter’s last gusty rages as the day wore [...]
The Delivery Presents – CPAC and Public Relations, Football-Style
I should have posted Episode 77 several days ago, but for reasons that mostly involved getting ready for CPAC, it completely slipped my mind. That’s a shame because, I think, it was a heck of a pre-CPAC show. It can hold up nicely as a post-conference show, so be sure to listen, but I wish [...]
Could You Use $4000? Too Bad We Don’t Work for President Obama’s Favorite Car Company
On the surface, it should be good news when a company is doing well enough that it can pay out almost $190 million dollars in bonuses to its rank and file salaried employees. If the directors are good with it, the creditors are in good shape, and the company is doing well, employees ought to [...]
Guess Who’s Okay With Big Financial Regulations? Big Finance!
Tim Carney has a post today about how an influential chunk of the financial sector has decided not to help repeal the ridiculous Dodd-Frank financial services legislation in place. I suppose that makes sense from their point of view. They are certainly large enough to absorb regulatory costs that will cripple smaller companies and their [...]
