Dissent no longer patriotic

But then, you knew that already. Senate Majority Leader Harry “I took one too many punches to the noggin’” Reid on those opposed to Obamacare: Town hall protesters are "evil-mongers," says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) Reid coined the term in a speech to an energy conference in Las Vegas this week and repeated […]

Obligatory

Sen. Ted Kennedy was also awarded the Medal of Freedom today. Unfortunately, Kennedy himself could not make it because of complications from the brain tumor he is suffering from. Mary Jo Kopechne did not get a Medal of Freedom and could not be reached for comment.

Obama and Israel

I hate to say it, but it should come as no surprise to anyone that the man who sat in the pews at Jeremiah Wright’s church for two decades would have imbibed some of the anti-Semitism that was preached from the pulpit. In this, President Barack Obama follows the lead of noted useful idiot and […]

U-T layoffs round 5

My former employer, the San Diego Union-Tribune, is doing another round of layoffs, rumored to be targeting 120 positions throughout the company. In keeping with the legal conditions surrounding my receipt of my severance from the company, that’s all I’m going to say.

California hiring

The government here in the golden bankrupt state has actually increased the number of state employees over the past year by 2 percent. While ever other industry in the land is cutting back, the state is still hiring. About 4,000 more full-time workers drew state checks in June compared to a year before, with the […]

Big brother

This post is probably just an excuse to link to this bit of comedy over at imao.us likening the infamous [email protected] e-mail address to the weird Six Flags guy on TV. However, I've thought about former ABC newswoman Linda Douglass’ creation of the aforementioned e-mail address and her plea to the public to do her […]

Diplomacy

I’m not sure exactly what this video says about the nation’s top diplomat. Now, apparently the student translator got it wrong; he was asking about President Obama’s position on the issue – not former President Clinton’s. I understand these are just students in Congo, but would her highness behave more or less appropriately when participating […]

Unemployment rate

The big news Friday was that the unemployment rate had ticked back down 0.1 percent to 9.4 percent even though more people were unemployed in July than in June. The cause of that discrepancy is that even more people were removed from the available workforce because they’ve become “discouraged workers” – people no longer looking […]

A quick note

After viewing the behavior in the video in the post immediately below this one, here’s one thing I haven’t heard any one talk about in the past day: It certainly puts card-check in a different light. The unions claim that somehow the secret ballot elections are unnecessary and it’s employers who are behaving thuggishly towards […]

Thugocracy

Yesterday, Democratic Rep. Russ Carnahan of Missouri held a town hall event. Unfortunately, Rep. Carnahan didn’t really want to hear what the public had to say. Instead of opening the front doors to let those waiting to attend in, they snuck SEIU union members in the side door in a successful move to stack the […]
