The editors over at NRO have penned a fantastic editorial about the new Obama-Chrysler Motor Company, and how the economics of it are idiotic, punishing, and dishonest. (emphasis and phrasing mine)
Here’s a morsel or three to help you through the weekend:
Obama’s first 100 days have occasioned a number of dispiriting moments, but yesterday’s attack on [...]
Well…..
Treasury Secretary Geithner says if banks need “exceptional assistance” from the government, it will come with conditions, including possibly a change of management.
I have to say that I have a hard time getting too upset about this. If you run your company into the ground and then come running to the taxpayers for survival cash. [...]
Relax kids. I know you have all been waiting for it. It’s coming.
Ya know how it is when you eat something and it’s wonderful, and you know you’ll regret it ? I made the mistake of praising Paul Krugman a few days ago, and the Nobel committee went and gave him the [...]
They vote for Democrats. Seriously, remember that movie, with Steve Martin ? It, like this offering from Iowahawk, is brilliant. Brilliant, I say !
From Amy Holmes over at NRO: (yes, I’m stealing the whole thing, because it’s brilliant and it’s brief)
It seems to me that the real problem with [Nancy Pelosi's pre-vote] speech was its illogic. She stridently attacked George Bush’s “failed economic policies” and then, in the same breath, implored members to support his most [...]
I must admit that the results of the vote this morning came as a bit of a shock to me. Much has been said about the reasons for/against passage, and what the potential fallout may be. The motives of the votes from various members have also been thrown up, ripped apart, and examined [...]
I’ve always thought that Krugman was at least marginally credible when he pontificated on economics, and approaching moron levels when discussing politics. Today’s column doesn’t change my opinion.
Now, let me say off the bat that I don’t agree with everything in the piece, and of course he couldn’t close without making a cheap shot [...]
So the Oxford, MS debate is up in the air at the moment. I have mixed feelings on the issue, personally, but let me offer a few thoughts as I work my way through it.
I do think this is a bit of a stunt. Not sure if it’ll play one way or the [...]
There seems to be some pushback on the lefty blogs about the whole Biden/FDR/TV thing, so let us take a moment to boil this down, shall we ?
TTA will stipulate that TV was in it’s infancy in 1929, and did in fact exist in Philo T. Farnsworth’s basement or something. TTA will also stipulate [...]
Jeremy won't let Christy watch "The Bachelor", and evidently that makes me a terrible person. If so, so be it. But I hate reality television. Hate. It.
