Another Obama Appointment, Another Tax Problem

Same song, next verse:
WASHINGTON — Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius has corrected three years of tax returns and paid more than $7,000 in back taxes after finding “unintentional errors” _ the latest tax troubles for an Obama administration nominee. The Kansas governor explained the changes to senators in a letter dated Tuesday that [...]

NY Times Allegedly Buried Anti-ACORN, Anti-Obama Story

Before I start, let me say that I am not at all sure about the reliability of this report. It is posted here simply as a “for what it’s worth” item.
If it turns out to be true, however, it’s gonna be a real problem for Obama, ACORN, and the NY Times.
A lawyer involved with legal [...]

PETA’s Culture Of Death

Some PETA news that you probably won’t hear from the leftymedia:

Okay, Now I Am Confused

The confusion starts with this report from the Wall Street Journal:

The move would in [...]

No Wonder Senator Dodd Was Willing To Help AIG Employees Keep Their Bonuses

The Washington Times has the smoking gun:
As Democrats prepared to take control of Congress after the 2006 elections, a top boss at the insurance giant American International Group Inc. told colleagues that Sen. Christopher J. Dodd was seeking re-election donations and he implored company executives and their spouses to give.
The message in the Nov. 17, [...]

US “Not Prepared” To Thwart North Korean Missile Launch

Now we know why Obama was so keen to keep Gates as SecDef… the guy is walking on tiptoes around the North Koreans:
The United States can do nothing to stop North Korea from breaking international law in the next 10 days by firing a missile that is unlikely to [...]

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Take a look at these pictures from the response to the Red River flooding and you’ll see one word over and over… “volunteer” (and its plural form, of course).
While the Coast Guard and National Guard are also there helping, for the most part these people are standing on their own two feet and helping themselves [...]

Let Failing Companies Fail

This guy makes a lot more sense than the endless bailout-mania does:
“If companies fail, you need to let them fail,” former SEC Chairman Richard Breeden told the Senate Banking Committee Thursday. Mr. Breeden went on to trash almost every premise behind Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s year of bailouts. “We seem to have policy makers who [...]

California Considering Banning Black Cars

EU President: US On “Road To Hell”

Gee, and I thought electing Obama was going to make the rest of the world like us again:
BRUSSELS – The head of the European Union slammed President Barack Obama’s plan to spend nearly $2 trillion to push the U.S. economy out of recession as “the road to hell” that EU governments must avoid.
The blunt comments [...]

We Need A Speaker Like This On This Side Of The Atlantic

Watch Daniel Hannan MEP absolutely skewer British PM Gordon Brown… again, and again, and again…

And no teleprompter, either!

Ten Healthcare Facts The Lefties Won’t Tell You

I seriously doubt that any pro-socialized-medicine lefty will want to admit the following ten facts.
Fact No. 1: Americans have better survival rates than Europeans for common cancers.
Fact No. 2: Americans have lower cancer mortality rates than Canadians.
Fact No. 3: Americans have better access to treatment for chronic diseases than patients in other [...]

Bush Had “Nucular,” Now Obama Has “OAR-ee-on”

More evidence that Obama’s mind shuts off when he is staring at the almighty teleprompter:
All terrific press for Orion, except that Obama kept pronouncing the company’s name wrong, calling it OAR-ee-on.
After finishing his remarks and talking with a few people, the president returned to the microphone and said his prepared remarks led him to pronounce [...]

In your opinions

Ok. Please classify each of the below rifles. I am not looking for the nomenclature (M16, AR, AK or whatever) just what classification you people would give each firearm below.

A Simuless plan that might actually help.

Ok, before I continue, I have not verified if this actually came from the paper listed below, but that matters not. The intent remains the same.
Enjoy.
This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on “How Would You Fix the Economy?” I thought [...]

We Want Your Money Back!

Thanks A Lot, Mr. President

Jake Tapper:
President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman, and ended up insulting the disabled.
Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he’s gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley.
He bowled a 129, [...]
