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. Now the seniors’ lobby is telling its employees their insurance costs will rise partly as a result of the law. In an e-mail to [...]
The War is over! That’s World War I, that is. The final payment of £59.5 million, writes off the crippling debt that was the price for one world war and laid the foundations for another. Germany was forced to pay the reparations at the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 as compensation to the war-ravaged nations [...]
Interesting: “Food Trucks: Will D.C. Be the New L.A.?“ When it comes to street food, D.C. has offered little more than the occasional hot dog stand or ice cream truck for many, many years. Tourists and offers workers alike labor under the terrible yoke of dirty water dogs and deli sandwiches. But as the price [...]
Virginians – particularly we here in the northern part of the state – have been bombarded with a stream of commentary on transportation spending for years. It’s been delivered in a variety of ways but the bottom line is always the same: We don’t have the money. And unless you people vote to impose more [...]
It’s been a very busy week at work, forcing me to pretty much keep my head down and even necessitating multiple after-hours conference calls. That’s unusual, to be certain, and it’s kept me not only from blogging but from even reading the news as I usually do. Since “the storm” seems to be lifting, I’m [...]
I guess the Dems’ little rebranding attempt I spoke of earlier is just part of a larger strategy of trying to pull a little “Issues Three Card Monty” with the American people. Faced with the fact that the science just isn’t backing them up on the whole global warming thing, the White House has apparently [...]
More evidence that the Obama administration economic policies are failing: the Commerce Department has downgraded their earlier assessment of Q2 growth from the previous report of 2.4% to an actual of 1.6%. That’s less than half of what Q1 showed. It’s time to face the facts: you don’t boost economic health by creating massive federal [...]
Scott Walker, Republican Candidate for WI Governor: Scott Walker’s site is located at www.brownbagmovement.com. He’s also got an open letter to President Obama posted at www.notrain.com. Here’s his stand: I am drawing a line in the sand Mr. President: No matter how much money you and Governor Doyle try to spend before the end of [...]
Confronted with a non-union employee who had begun efforts to form a union in his workplace, the United Federation of Teachers responded by firing the employee: Jim Callaghan, a veteran writer for the teachers union, told The Post he was booted from his $100,000-a-year job just two months after he informed UFT President Michael Mulgrew [...]
