“”I love the symbolism of two Democratic presidents––not one, but two––endorsing Bush tax cuts, saying, ‘We need them crucially to help the economy’.”
Via Instapundit.
Tax cuts won’t be enough, however, to push unemployment down again— not with all the uncertainty of pending environmental, health care and other new Democrat-inspired federal regulations that hit business. Executives will still wait and see before they start investing and hiring again.

We don’t have to live in a watch-your-step security bubble (where metal or plastic drink containers are suddenly a national security threat) while an unpopular (42 percent latest approval) Democrat president comes to town to campaign for his party’s reelection—like the poor schmoos in Madison, Wisconsin, do this week.

University of Chicago lawprof Todd Henderson [is] desolated that people don’t sympathize with how hard it is to get by in Chicago on $250,000 a year.
Radicals have threatened him and his wife at their jobs for his daring to blog about it in a manner they disagreed with. How dare he think this is a free country where he could do such a thing?
How dare he imagine that his money is his own to decide how to spend? That the government has no right to step in and demand confiscatory taxes for its latest schemes and lies? That he is not just another cow to be milked by the likes of Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi?
The country has changed.

“…workers at the Dimona reactor who submitted visa requests to visit the United States for ongoing university education in Physics, Chemistry and Nuclear Engineering — have all been rejected, specifically because of their association with the Dimona reactor.”
WordPress is fighting my effort to link to the source of the above, so I’ll put it here, I hope. Obamalot’s move may also be related to this. Commentary from Roger L. Simon.
UPDATE: The White House and the State Department are denying it, saying the Maariv newspaper story is inaccurate and there’s been no visas denied.

And, as far the Dem congress is concerned, it’s that they’re also non-union:
“Don’t let Tojo turn you into a unwitting freeway kamikaze for the ‘Divine Emperor’! At the U.S. Department of General Motors, our G-Men are working ’round the clock to stop Jap sneak attacks on America’s publicly owned automotive industrial arsenal. But here on the home front, America’s vehicular victory requires the vigilance of regular Joes and Janes like you. Together we can Shun the Huns and Nip the Nips, and send ’em packing their non-union Priuses back to Yokohama!”
And if Iowahawk’s humor doesn’t convince you, try Car and Driver.

I’m glad Gov. Perry and AG Abbott are suing to stop Obamalot’s EPA from damaging the Texas and U.S. economies in pursuit of resolving, at best, speculative man-made global warming. Hanging the suit on the credibility of EPA’s reliance on the IPCC report looks smart.
But it seems that whether the agency’s planned intervention survives will depend largely on a 2007 supreme court decision allowing it to claim carbon dioxide is a health-damaging pollutant. To reverse that would take another suit entirely, though it might be done on appeal if the Texas suit is turned back for that or some allied reason.
MORE: Whatever the legacy media thinks about it, Texas has done everybody a favor in trying to stop the EPA’s runaway regulation train.
