- First, the salt story. As people say, No, it's not from The Onion. Government has gone insane. CO2, transfats - and now salt? One does not know whether to laugh or cry. Or to just dump some more salt on one's fries, and call it a Boston Salt Party.
- "Those who think they can control their destinies are happier." That's from an old story about why Repubs and Conservatives are happier people. People with some faith in themselves - and God - feel better about life, regardless of income. It's the psychology, stupid. Feeling weak or like a victim makes life miserable, but that is up to each one of us.
- Did the Dem stimulus cost us 4 million jobs?
- Our friend Roger: Humor vs. Contempt: Obama and the Question of Character
- The man said "I'm a Democrat, but I'm not a Communist." As Ferrara notes, many Dems could not quite say that:
Obama is not the only one. Ultraleft San Francisco Democrat Nancy Pelosi, a nice lady whose feet are not firmly planted in the real world, serves as House Speaker. Far Left Henry Waxman, the Congressman from Hollywood, serves as Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Uberliberal Barney Frank, the Congressman from Boston, serves as Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. Leftover '60s liberal David Obey, a self-described Robert La Follette Progressive from Wisconsin, serves as Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Charley Rangel, the Congressman from Harlem, serves as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. John Conyers, the Congressman from Detroit, with his own past Communist Party ties, serves as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
Until recently, ultraliberal Howard Dean from Vermont served as Democrat party national Chairman. Senator Patrick Leahy from Vermont, as liberal/left as they come, serves as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
