More on Limbaugh at CPAC

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Reading the transcript of Limbaugh's speech at CPAC today is worthwhile in my opinion.  As stated earlier in a comment on Sally's post, his shtick is tiresome to me.  His observations and commentary however are absolutely spot on.  I note that he doesn't present to audiences that may be less ...

Rush Wows ‘em at CPAC (as he should)

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I just got done watching Rush Limbaugh's speech, wrapping up CPAC's 2009 conference. It was aired live on Fox News. It was scheduled for 20 minutes and almost went an hour and a half. No one was complaining. He was receiving standing ovations every two minutes, ...

Obama IS a DAMN FINE Community Organizer!

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I have to tip my Flaming Capitalist Crown to President Obama -- he IS one DAMN FINE community organizer. He is managed, in less than 100 days as POTUS, to organize average Americans, business owners, and other freedom-minded citizens in ways I would have never dreamed imaginable. I have lived ...

The Next Bubble, Part II

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

In an earlier post, I wrote about the Education Bubble, which will soon burst, as the weight of bloated tuition supporting fat university budgets, textbook price outrages, and the like become too much for cash-strapped Americans to bear.  Alternatives are available (like Excelsior College, my alma mater), and they will ...

About 200 Americans came to peacefully, but energetically, express their opposition to the Obama bailout plan.  The crowd was older, middle class/working class, and was sprinkled with flat tax supporters (Michigan's Legislature may consider a graduated state income tax soon), as well as Campaign For Liberty (Ron Paul's PAC) activists.  ...

My Reaction to David Brooks’ Latest Column on Obama (and it’s not pretty)

Friday, February 27th, 2009

My latest, as you can tell, is in response to Brooks' admission that he's starting to take Obama's policies with a grain of salt.  During the election campaign and the interregnum, Brooks, supposedly a conservative, was all atwitter at the thought of the "clearn, articulate Obama" as President. I answer Brooks ...
