A vote for Jim Matheson is a vote for Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 08, 2012 6 Comments

One of the biggest electoral scams in the country is being run by Jim Matheson in Utah-04 against Mia B. Love. As detailed here before, Matheson plays a Democratic moderate on TV, and strategically votes against his party on high profile votes when his vote doesn't...

Zombies are the One Percent

From reader J: Here's a pic of a car in Charlottesville, VA, of an OFFICIAL NAVY car with a bumper sticker showing our illustrious leader punching out "zombies." Are we to infer that these "zombies" are anyone who dares to disagree with him? Whatever happened to "Dissent is...

When did Jennifer Granholm acquire a Southern accent?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 07, 2012 32 Comments

What is it with the Dems? Whenever they want to feel real, they put on fake accents, particularly stereotypical black southern accents. Hillary did it in 2008 and Joe "Chains" Biden did it recently. Do you detect a slight southern twang in Jennifer Granholm's imitation of...

“Unemployment Rate” at 8.1%, labor participation rate drops again, fewer than 100k new jobs created

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 07, 2012 25 Comments

Another one of those anomolies which makes the unemployment rate look better than it is. The rate as calculated drops when people drop out of the work force because they no longer are counted as unemployed. So while the media and Obama campaign probably will try...

Who said this? “Warren will probably lose in Mass. she is so gratingly smug”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 07, 2012 14 Comments

Who said that? The same person who says -- in agreement with a position I took long ago -- Could Elizabeth Warren Cost Obama The Election? Obama's riff on "you didn't build that" remains, in my view, the most serious mistake of his campaign so far. There's a...

Composite acceptance speech

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 06, 2012 63 Comments

I just tuned in to hear Chains Biden tell the already debunked story about Obama's mother fighting with the insurance company, and relating how that story reflects what makes Barack tick and who he is. What a perfect start to the night. A presidency built on myth and composite truth. What in the old days they called lies. Update: My summary of the Obama speech:

Classic #Obama, demonizes all who disagree, belittles ppl, self-righteous, mean spirit masked in hope #DefeatBHO

Below is my stream of tweetedness throughout the night:

Drew Peterson convicted of murder

I'll admit I haven't been following this case very closely.
