Hate Speech from the Democrats Online Golden Boy
Lest we think that this reprehensible pronouncement by Markos Zuniga should be swept under the rug, let me remind you that he is the leader of the Democratic grassroots. His Yearly Kos gathering is an important stop for Democratic politicians seeking national office. Zuniga himself is a mainstream figure who makes regular television appearances on [...]
Light Bulbs and Quickie Marriages, Oh My!
I have two more new posts over at the American Issues Project. What do light bulbs and the government have in common? GM Perspectives: Promises Last Like a Vegas Marriage Go over and check them out. While you’re there, read a few more posts and, above all, leave some comments, so my boss there knows [...]
Another Time for Choosing
*whimper* The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have spent, lent or committed $12.8 trillion, an amount that approaches the value of everything produced in the country last year, to stem the longest recession since the 1930s.
