Picture yourself as an author, producing an article for a magazine or even a book for publication. In order to make your point or get the particulars of a scene across, you make use of prose from a literary work literally decades old, a work that’s firmly in the public domain. You send the article [...]
The 9/11 attacks happened just over a decade ago. While no one was proposing building towers again before the dust settled, there was absolutely no argument that the building should be done. After making sure to recover the fallen and clearing the site to prepare it for building, the building should commence. Ten years later, [...]
I haven’t had much use for Paul Krugman of the New York Times but the man holds such a place of high esteem in liberal/leftist/Dem circles that you just simply can’t get away from him. Making his appearance on the Sunday talk shows, Krugman touted an alien invasion as just the ticket to get ourselves [...]
PowerLine, that blogging powerhouse that has risen to be a perennial favorite in conservative circles, highlights this wonderful political ad. Really hits home:

After all, if someone engaged in private enterprise with the goal of getting a bigger paycheck has the hand of government [...]
It’s interesting how candid our politicians get when they’re in front of foreign audiences. Al Gore, the global-warming oracle who has pushed the “climate change” agenda for years and who was instrumental in passing legislation creating government subsidies for the production of corn ethanol for fuel, is now on record saying that corn ethanol is [...]
McQ uses the term “irony” to describe it. I think “hypocrisy” is more accurate. Speaking to a post by Matt Yglesias wherein the vaunted liberal says, basically, ‘of course liberals are unhappy with the proposal because there were no liberals involved in its creation’ McQ wonders where Yglesias’ perspective was during the Obamacare so-called “debate.” [...]
But… but… but…. Obamacare means insurance costs will go down! Bend the cost curve down! Right? RIGHT?!? Apparently… wrong. AARP’s endorsement helped secure passage of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.
