To Hell with Niceness. I am all for that. I appreciate good manners, but not niceness.
Cockroach rights in Britain. How about some freedom for humans?
Cruel but funny.
Chris Dodd update: The Hartford Courant finally gives him some attention. (h/t, NRO)
In which Robert Reich calls people like us "crypto-fascist demagogues." Sheesh. May I engage in this mature, elevating and highly-informative discussion of the issues by calling Reich a "pinko dwarf"?
If CO2 is classified as a pollutant
Let them fail. Even God doesn't have enough money to support all these things.
Investing: Timing is nothing. Timing is everything.
Spinning it so it looks like Obama did it.
Repubs are The Stupid Party. They ignore tactics. They don't do tactics. Too honorable or too dumb? I don't know.
Nobody's home in Washington. Maybe that's for the best.
The Admin: Britain is just one more country. Not to me. Methinks The Teleprompter dislikes the Brits. Has he ever been there? No.
The Teleprompter signs on to the Cheney view of surveillance. Crickets chirp.
If the entire EU bureaucracy disappeared, would it harm anything?
Brit Hume says it's Obama's Bear Market. Via Gateway:
It's kind of a bear market within a bear market. The market was already down tremendously over the previous year, and I think most people entered this period of the new Obama administration thinking that it probably was bottoming out and that he would give by his very presence and by what he would offer real hope and that it would at least change the psychology a bit. It has changed the psychology, it seems, for the worse and I think he does bear responsibility for that, and the impression that he has managed to leave is that he's too busy with massive new spending and a scatter shot stimulus bill which was reckless and breathless new initiatives. On top of that you have this budget with all these breathtaking new initiatives to reorder our lives in a multitude of ways.
In the meantime, first order of business, the unfinished business of the previous administration. First order of business for the new administration, the financial crisis, the credit crisis. And, so far, no plan of any discernible shape of dealing with that. A couple of pieces in place as Governor Kaine pointed out. But that's what the market is looking for. It hasn't come. It's very hard. But, that's the big problem.
