The Florida federal district court judge had this to say about the Obama administration’s about face on whether the individual mandate in Obamacare is a penalty or a tax. Congress should not be permitted to secure and cast politically difficult votes on controversial legislation by deliberately calling something one thing, after which the defenders of […]
First, we have the Democratic Senate candidate from South Carolina, Alvin Greene. The only thing funnier than O’Donnell’s ridiculous questions are Greene’s ridiculous answers. You want some evidence the media leans left? Greene has received just a fraction of the attention for his wackiness that Christine O’Donnell has. Last week there was a big hubbub […]
A couple of interesting global warming tidbits from this past week. First, Hal Lewis of UC Santa Barbara has resigned from the American Physical Society. Why? When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which […]
Politifact likes to pat itself on the back for being non-partisan. It’s a crock. They’re little different than any major newspaper newsroom – they’re overwhelmingly liberal. James Taranto over at The Wall Street Journal points out a little bit of hypocrisy. "It's unfair to call the DeKalb school board corrupt. School employees, not board members, […]
It started as an accusation made without any evidence by the Center for American Progress and quickly made its way through the mainstream media and quickly to the very lips of the President himself: The U.S. Chamber of Commerce was using money collected from foreign dues-paying members for electioneering. “Just this week, we learned that […]
Joe Biden channels his inner thug. According to a pool report from Tuesday's event in Dayton, Biden was telling the crowd that Democrats know how to balance the budget. He said, "If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them." He quickly added: "To the press, […]
The author and humorist has been quoted as saying: “Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.” Truer words were never spoken. “Everyday that I am here is going to be spent, debunking the MYTH, that this country’s in debt and we just can’t spend. Well […]
I just returned from seeing Steve Martin perform on his banjo with the Steep Canyon Rangers at Cal Poly’s Performing Arts Center. It was a great concert, and if Steve’s coming to your area, I encourage you to see him. For the record, the Steep Canyon Rangers are very impressive musicians too. But the highlight […]
First, Obama’s put us in deep trouble. If that doesn’t scare the children on Halloween, nothing will. Second, we have a guy who “forgot” to pay a $75 annual fire prevention fee and had his home burn to the ground after firefighters from a neighboring jurisdiction refused to put it out. I feel sorry for […]
When I got sacked at the Union-Tribune a little over a year ago, a Hoystory reader who works for ESET told me about some copywriting jobs available there and gave me a free, 1-year subscription to the company’s anti-virus software. When the year was up, I renewed the subscription. I’ve used Norton (now Symantec), AVG […]
