The Truth in Advertising People are Probably Cool with It

Green Party Chicago gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney had his name misspelled on many ballots including in some prominent African-American districts as Rich Whitey. Between that and the fact that he's in the Green Party, I'm guessing his election is a low probability.

Today's Recommended Reading

The blog New Zeal has an excellent history of detailing the links between communist/socialist factions in the Democratic party. This post is especially good, detailing a meeting between Representative John Conyors (D. Mich.) and the Democratic Socialists of America. The ties between progressives and socialists is startling. I highly recommend this guy's blog.

And Yet Another Democrat Commits a Crime

It appears First Lady Michelle Obama violated Illinois law by campaigning inside a polling place. Democrats have a long history of violating campaigning laws. President Clinton used the White House to solicit and reward campaign donors and our esteemed lord and savior President Barack Obama has apparently committed a felony before as well by giving access to federal buildings in return for campaign donations. Republicans are not above reproach, but the blatant manner in which Democrats openly violate laws is disturbing, especially given they seem to be held to a different standard and never face prosecution over these issues.

Boys and Girls, Can You Spell Ironic?

A teacher who stood in the Oval Office and watched President Barack Obama sign the idiotic "stimulus" package has been laid off for the second time this year. The Toledo Public Schools haven't spent a dime of the $7.6 million they received as their share of the "stimulus" package. They are saving the money to spend next year...to rehire employees...who probably won't be teachers. Your tax dollars at work!

Whoops! Guess I Shouldn't Have Spent All Those Billions After All

President Obama, in excerpts from an interview with the New York Times, admits he realized too late that there are no "shovel-ready" projects. Whoopsie! If I didn't already think he was a chronic liar and a moron, I'd be convinced of one or the other by that statement alone.

No Need to Try and Close That Border

The Mexican investigator looking into the murder of an American on a border lake was decapitated and his head was delivered to the Mexican military. The drug gangs have essentially taken over the border areas of Mexico. I can't imagine why we'd want to have more border guards and tighter control.

G.E. Short for God***ned Evil

In case you need a reminder, here is a link to my long ago post about the association between General Electric and the Obama administration. Revelations today make it even more clear that President Obama is in bed with G.E. (maybe literally). It seems G.E. received $24.9 million in "stimulus" grants while they cut 18,000 jobs. Oh, and the apparently capital starved company made $156 billion last year. G.E. also received jobs as the primary contractor for four other stimulus grant recipients. Democrats raged that Haliburton, who was the only contractor capable of performing all aspects of the job, had been associated with Dick Cheney, who gave up his interests in the company well before he became Vice-President and yet somehow, no one seems to care that the President of G.E. is on the President of the United States' council of economic advisers and his company has benefited immensely from programs the President has implemented and potentially could benefit from programs he advocates.
