Ol’ Ted’s Public Option

Posted on August 26, 2009 | Comments Off on Ol’ Ted’s Public Option

Somehow I don’t think naming Obamacare after the famously overweight boozer and skirt-chaser is going to boost the chances of it passing. Not even if, as Dan Riehl says, there are some new features:

"…amending it to include mandatory long distance swimming lessons, as well as CPR and breath control classes for all Americans. Apparently one young woman wasn’t enough for Teddy. Now he can play a roll in the un-timely demise of more Americans than he could even count."

The Dems and their captive media may have loved the deceased hypocrite, but many Americans did not. So it’s still going to be pass-it-at-your-political-peril for those up for re-election next year.

Gerbilism: must be all those fact checkers

Posted on August 23, 2009 | Comments Off on Gerbilism: must be all those fact checkers

Big Media prides itelf on being better edited than blogs which, generally (including this one), aren’t edited at all. So why is Newsweak saying “Republicans stood together against Social Security and Medicare, and when those programs proved popular, opposing them left a residue of distrust for the GOP.”

Oh, that’s just Eleanor Clift, the Helen Thomas of magazine gerbilism. These Democrat shills are history-challenged and always have been. Fortunately there’s the blogs to correct them, including the item that eighty percent of Republicans backed Social Security and Medicare was co-sponsored by a Republican and backed by a majority of them. Dan’s right, Eleanor should replace Helen. If only for the comic relief.

Stupid temperature tricks

Posted on March 24, 2009 | Comments Off on Stupid temperature tricks

Watts Up With That documents yet another (number 85, in fact) lazy, half-witted location for a weather service temperature guage. You know, the dandy devices that keep assuring us we’re all going to die from AGW unless we turn our money over to Al Gore? Something tells me the best antitode antidote for run-a-muck government, for once, may be a book – and old-fashioned revolution.
