Free kibbles

Like Hoover and FDR before him, Bush vows to stabilize US economy. How'd that government stabilization process work out for us in the '30s? Leave the economy and the markets alone, and they'll correct themselves with the minimum of pain. All government intervention can do is increase the pain. The best thing government can do for us is extract itself from the markets. Get rid of the capital gains tax. Get rid of the dividend tax. Get rid of the mark-to-market accounting rule. Repeal the CRA. Privatize Fannie and Freddie. Set interest rates to control inflation. Then the markets will correct themselves with far less pain.

Why the bailout made the economic crisis worse instead of better, as many of us predicted and told our representatives. The article forgot to mention that the bailout also didn't address the original problem - government forcing lenders to make bad loans in the first place then GSE's brokering those loans, making them appear less risky because of implicit (we now know it was explicit) taxpayer guarantees.

The cost of deforestation.

Now liberals are trying to smear Sarah Palin by attacking her new chief of police for sexual harrasment. Clearly, this man has no such record. The reprimand he received was recinded. And where were liberal concerns about sexual harrasment when Clinton was in the White House? The same feminists and liberals attacking Sarah Palin lionized Bill Clinton despite his being a serial groper, philanderer, and sometimes rapist. These liberals are shameless, dangerous hypocrites.

More info on Obama's attempt to negotiate with the Iraqis, undermining Bush's negotiations, in the summer while he was only a candidate.

Harry Reid implies anybody linking Obama to Fannie Mae and the subprime housing corruption is a racist.

McCain says he would investigate Dodd, Frank, and the others who were responsible for the mortgage meltdown. Too little. Too late. That's after McCain went along with their titanic socialist power grab. This guy is all over the map.

Thanks to ACORN and others, 5 million US mortgages are owned by illegal aliens. Obama is the first presidential candidate to hire ACORN for his get out the vote program.

Fabulous satire of the Great Obama's absurd presto-chango promises.

Louis Farrakhan literally declares that Barack Obama is the Messiah. The freaks are coming out of the woodwork and taking over the country.

I have no idea what this competitiveness scale is, but given the scary drop in the US in economic freedom, saying the US is the most competitive country in the world is hard to believe.

The mainstream media loves victim stories, but I predict they will ignore this victim of Bill Ayers's terrorism who thinks Obama should have known better. Obama had the same agenda as Ayers. That's why Ayers picked him and they were partners for 3 years. He knew what he was doing.

Obama volunteer sics Secret Service on woman who can't stand Obama.

Ethics investigation determines Sarah Palin abused her power by trying to have her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. Unfortunately, since partisanship hijacked this investigation, we can't tell if the conclusions make sense or not. Maybe there's info I haven't heard (because the MSM has been so deferential to Palin - ha!), but from everything I've heard, and I've heard the phone conversation at the focus of the investigation as well as dozens of news reports, Gov. Palin did nothing to get this dangerous, abusive individual fired. And she should have. We should be slamming her for being too wimpy, not for abusing her power, imo.
