Free kibbles

Chinese economy is slowing.

Yahoo lays off 10 percent of workforce.

The WSJ examines the consequences of failing high school students. When a student fails, a potential worker becomes a certain welfare recipient. It's not hard to figure out the consequences of that. That's why the government monopoly on schools is so devastating to America.

Obama's decision to stop campaigning for 2 days to visit his ailing grandmother has political ramifications.

McCain accuses Obama of "willful ignorance" on economy. It's about time. Where has this been the last 5 months? In a debate, Obama claimed he would raise the capital gains tax, in the name of social justice (Marxist code for fairness) even though he knew that would reduce federal revenues. McCain should have been hammering Obama on this since the beginning of summer. McCain has run the most inept candidacy in my life.

Obama adviser reports that Obama's tax credits are only for working people or people who were recently working. I guess he's trying to differentiate between welfare for working people and welfare for non-working people. Any way you slice it, it's welfare. He should probably call it workfare to convince people it's a good thing.

In an attempt to limit the damage from Biden's repeated declarations that the international community would stage a crisis to test Obama within the first 6 months of his presidency, Obama goes on the attack, saying McCain is dangerous on foreign policy, not himself. As long as Obama talks about this, McCain will gain on him.

Boortz is wrong. As ridiculous as it is to claim that calling Obama a socialist is really a racist attack, and that's a new level of ridiculousness, it can, and will, get more ridiculous.

Government power run amok has become a theater of the absurd. Councilman proposes forcing non-union government employees to take 10 days off unpaid so he can give raises to other government employees.

Liberals hope to tarnish Palin because the RNC bought her a $150,000 wardrobe to campaign in. I guess the press would prefer she wore overalls. In fact, I'm sure they would because it would be stupid. Of course the RNC spared no expense to make Palin and McCain, just like Obama and the DNC spared no expense to make Obama and Biden, look as good as possible on the campaign trail.

Funny list of small business policy changes inspired by Obama.

I'm sure Obama will call on Oprah Winfrey to help keep his poll numbers high while he's in office.

Wikipedia's policy of verifiability is vulnerable to errors because the sources it references may not have been fact checked.

Scientists say newly discovered state of matter may extend life of Moore's law, but only near absolute zero.

How tremendous would it be if this drug was successful at reversing MS brain damage? Let's hope it works in the real world.
