The battle over whether the petulant left will gets its way in Wisconsin continues this week. Already, the unions have threatened an independent media outlet with violence if it doesn’t report the way the thugs want it to. More progressive backup will arrive early in the week when MS-NBC arrives to provide a little propaganda [...]
What is this? A two-day Clearing the Browser Tabs post?Have I gone mad with power? Well, yes, except for the mad with power bit. See, the news has moved so quickly the past couple of days that I spent more time reading than I did writing, which is generally seen as a bad idea for [...]
Yesterday was Barack Obama’s birthday, and boy howdy did he celebrate. Not only did he add more to our debt at one time than any President has ever spent in the history of the country but he’s also the first President since World War II to drive our debt higher than the total of everything [...]
So yesterday, the President threw a big nationwide birthday party and practically begged people to throw envelopes of money at him so he could spend another four years golfing his way through history. At least the rest of the country got the soft cell. His “friends” in Chicago couldn’t wish him a Happy 50th unless [...]
I’m not sure what gets in someone’s head to make them see Thomas the Tank Engine as a racist tool of the oppressors, but whatever it is, we should point and laugh whenever we see it manifested. It bothers me that there is no aspect of life that the professional left won’t try to turn [...]
I suspect that we may be on the verge of a major education revolution. Thanks to state of Wisconsin, led by Governor Scott Walker and a few brave Republcians (who, by the way, face a series of scurrilous recall elections thanks to the bitter and petty left), we know that the teachers’ unions do not [...]
I’ve done so much work on the debt ceiling circus here and on Twitter this week that I’m out of blogging fuel right now. It’s not a great excuse, but it’s the one I have. It’s been a long week, but I’ll be recharged a bit later today. Check out my post on the current [...]
As I wrote yesterday, we seem to be in the endgame portion of the partisan debt ceiling circus. It’s entirely possible that the whole deal will be finished some time tomorrow and all the made-up talk of crisis will fade until the next time there’s some need for a few partisan points. We’ll see. You’ll [...]
In a world where asking the President for his budget plan is a Republican talking point, encouraging your Twitter followers to spam your opponents then spamming then for four hours is a gimcrack PR maneuver. Note whose tweet is featured at the end of that article. Who am I? Who am I? I can’t hear [...]
Now is the time at The Sundries Shack when we engage in blatant self-promotion! I started this week as the contributing blogger to the website Ending Spending. It’s a site devoted to, well, I think you can figure it out from the title. I’ll be writing about government spending, budgets, tax policy and all sorts [...]
