Is this the end of America? at the Financial Post. One quote:
Reform of health care, environmental policy, education, energy, banking, regulation — every nook and cranny of the U.S. economy has been put on alert for major change. Expansion of government spending, plunging the U.S. into unprecedented deficits, is without parallel. In economic policy, through regulation and control of energy output, financial services and monetary expansion, the U.S. government has embarked on a fundamental reshaping of America. It is designed, in short, to bring on the end of America.
Seems to me that many people are more worried about what's going on in the Federal gummint than about the economy.

Thank God We Finally Have a President Who Makes Gaffes, Garbles Syntax, and Sometimes Sounds Like He Doesn't Know What He's Talking About; It Just Shows He's Human
Betsy begins:
This week's shameful display by politicians in Washington to beat their breasts and demonize AIG has revealed even more clearly why we shouldn't want those very same politicians to be running our economy, health care industry, education system, and energy policy. Michael Gerson perfectly captures that display of self-satisfied hypocrisy.
Whole thing here.
Look beyond the bogus bonus smokescreen. Michelle
Steyn:
In turbulent times, it's good to know some things never change. After a week in which President Obama thanked himself for inviting him to the White House, compared AIG executives to suicide bombers, and did the first Presidential retard joke on national TV, I was impressed to find that Slate is bravely keeping up its Bushism Of The Day feature.
Four more years!
