Why Does Our Government Hate Children and Potatoes?
Thanks to the Lonely Conservative for bringing this new attempt to expand the Nanny State to my attention. You say potato? The USDA says “starchy vegetable.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture wants to limit how many starchy potatoes American schoolchildren eat each week as part of the federal school lunch program, beginning next year. I [...]
Here Comes President Huckster and His Magic Obama Jobs Machine
The President is headed back out onto the campaign trail in his peddler’s wagon full of tonics and unguents to cure America’s every ill. His newest product is a Magical Obama Jobs Machine that sucks money out of our pockets and the pockets of our children at one end and produces shiny new teachers, police [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – The Obama Friday News Dump Saturday Edition
It’s become a tradition lately for President Obama to dump the worst possible news on a Friday, to avoid several good news days’ worth of coverage.

Here is the story in brief. Some states have gotten [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – It’s A New Race Thursday Edition
Remember when the smartypants pundits on the right said that Herman Cain had no chance in the Presidential race and that his campaign would just be for entertainment? Yeah, well, none of them are laughing now that Cain leads the field. In separate polls, NBC/Wall Street Journal and Public Policy Polling (via memeorandum) have Cain [...]
The Delivery Presents – Let’s Talk About Drum Circles and Dreams
I don’t think I’ve ever had a show go in an entirely different direction than I had planed as much as Episode 115 did. As I said in the first half, my intention was to mock the Occupy Whatever protests for a bunch of whinging malcontents. That’s not how it worked out, though. There are [...]
