From Jim Treacher of The Daily Caller: ...
which prove that George W. Bush lied about his military service. History No. 1: Dan cannot let you see the documents which he obtained from an anonymous source he cannot reveal. But the documents, in Dan's estimation, reflect "inappropriate" conduct the exact nature of which cannot...
From reader Don, who writes: Saw this scrawled (spray-painted) on the underside of a bridge over the Trinity River, maybe 1.5 miles from the Occupy Dallas location. I stopped to safely take a picture. Star of David with "Zionist Occupied USA" … I suspect (but can't be...
by the behavior of numerous "conservatives" and "libertarians" on Twitter dancing on Herman Cain's (presumed) political grave. Let's sum up the "facts" as they are known right now. Mostly unnamed people accused Herman Cain of unspecified conduct which some people who will not specify the people or...
I've been struggling to put my finger on just what it is about how Politico handled the Herman Cain allegations that I find so offensive. Michael Walsh has a good explanation, Return of the Whipsaw, which starts and ends as such: First, posit the existence of a...
Never in the history of humankind has there been an act as provocative and worthy of a presidential smackdown as the passage by the Congress of a Concurrent Resolution affirming "In God We Trust" as the national motto: Whereas `In God We Trust' is the official motto...
As it has been widely reported, Jon Corzine will get a golden parachute valued at $12.1 mn after driving MF Global into the ground. Fair enough. After all, it wasn't paid for with taxpayer money and the firm failed by making some appallingly bad bets. My only...
As you know, I've been inching closer towards Newt as the not-Romney. I don't believe being not-Romney is enough, and of all the remaining candidates, I believe that Newt has the ability to articulate a vision of this country which establishes him as the candidate to...
The one chart that explodes the myth of U.S. income inequality (h/t @CharlieSykes). The short explanation is that individual income inequality has not expanded greatly, but since high earning people tend to group together in family units, family income inequality has expanded: Next, Here's The Chart...
Barring something truly earthshaking warranting a separate post, I'll be updating the Herman Cain story today in this post. The NY Times reports that one of Cain's accusers received a year's severance, $35,000, but that there were issues in addition to Cain that made her uncomfortable working...
that Tennessee doesn't have an income tax? From frequent photographer LInda: Update: Reader Ben writes: Re no State Income tax in TN, we spent two years, 2001-2, battling our Republican Gov Don Sundquist who tried to implement a State Income Tax 6 weeks after he was re-elected...
You know things are bad when the Occupy Wall Street movement cannot get more than a handful of people to Occupy Boulder, Colorado in nice weather. Thanks to reader Jeff who e-mailed this photo to me today: Good Day Professor, I live in Longmont, Colorado but work in...
Politico relied on anonymous sources not just for the tipoff on the Herman Cain story, but for some of the details as to the nature of the accusations. Yet Politico refuses to provide any context for the sources so that readers could judge the credibility...
From Zombie at PJMedia, a list of officially declared supporters of Occupy Wall Street. Go to the link for the full list, here's the top (in no particular order): ...
During my morning peruse through the paper, I found a shocking headline: Bullet train cost estimates rise to $98.5 billion. I wasn't surprised at the cost; it's well-established that "infrastructure spending" is a fancy way of saying "giant black money hole." (Hooray for inflation to boot!)...
That's the question David Mark at Politico's Arena forum asks, with this explanation: Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain’s shifting responses to allegations of sexual harassment dating to his time as president of the National Restaurant Association have left his campaign reeling. Has Cain’s campaign done itself politically...
"Teabagger" is the pejorative of choice for left-wing bloggers and an occasional Democratic politician, when trying to vilify supporters of the Tea Party movement. It is a slang term which describes a sexual act. And it is a term used by Hilda Solis, Secretary of Labor, as reported...
