Obama: America Would Be Great If It Wasn’t So Lazy
Is Barack Obama trying to tank his re-election prospects? I only ask because It’s the most plausible reason I can imagine for why he would go on the campaign trail and talk trash about Americans. Mr. Obama, in an interview with WESH-TV in Orlando, said his administration has been tough on the country’s trading partners [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Good Demagogue, Bad Governor Friday Edition
Another day, another way my elected officials in Maryland have found a way to embarrass those of us who live under their inept rule. Governor Martin O’Malley, flacking for the President, attacked Rick Perry with the sort of flailing elegance you might see from a drunken ogre who stumbled into a swarm of bees. First, [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – The Linkless Post Monday Edition
For the first time since I started the Clearing the Browser Tabs posts, I find myself bereft of tidbits to pass along. I admit, once I wrote my two 9/11 posts yesterday, I was pretty much finished with the whole notion of reading the internet for blogging purposes. So…what to do? Hey, I know! How [...]
Playing Silly Political Games with Death and Misery
Something very wicked happened in the Republican presidential campaign today, and we on the right should not stand for it. Here is the setup.

Clearing the Browser Tabs – Wind, Rain, That Sort of Thing Sunday Edition

Clearing the Browser Tabs – The Changing Plans of Leviathin Government Monday Edition
In one of his speeches that weren’t in any way campaign speeches, so you just put that thought right out of your head, President Obama suggested to a farmer that he should contact the USDA with his concerns about a number of coming regulations. See, the farmer had heard — and don’t ask me where [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – At Least It’s Over Saturday Edition
It’s been an odd and frustrating week around here and I’m glad to stumble into the weekend, where I can take a few hours to relax and regroup. With luck, when Monday comes, my phone line will be repaired (or at least it’ll be done by the end of the day) and I’ll be able [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Reform and Raise Saturday Edition
I love this Power Line post by Stephen Hayward on the GOP and taxes. There is a good case to be made for tax code reform that would raise taxes slightly on the nearly half of all workers who don’t currently pay any taxes in exchange for large spending cuts that would increase those same [...]
