The Feeling is Mutual

Representative Maxine Waters (D. Cal.), who is currently under investigation by the House ethics committee for improperly lobbying for a bailout of a bank her husband owned stock in, on Saturday said that the Tea Party can go to hell. Feel free to lead the way, Mrs. Waters.

Please Tell Me I Did Not Just Read This

There are a number of curse words wanting to spill out of me at the moment to describe this. Really? NASA scientists have decided that the crappy Keanu Reeves remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" has some sort of a legitimate scientific basis.

408,000 Apply For Stimulative Government Spending and Stimulative Government Cheese

Jobless claims are up 9,000 to 408,000 for the week ending on August 13.

Luminaries (liberal English, English translation : idiots) such as Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack says that benefits to the unemployed stir job growth.

Now, if we could just ensure that enough people are unemployed, we should be able to employ everyone...wait...

President Obama's hatred for oil has taken another blow with a ruling by a the federal district court finding that rules implemented by his administration actually raise the cost of exploration and drilling. If that surprises you, you may want to see about special education classes. As far as I'm aware, the administration continues to be unrepentantly in contempt of court for the failure to comply with the Eastern District of Louisiana federal court rulings. I think contempt is probably the best way to describe how our President feels about a lot of things.
