Bill Clinton's finances under review. They should have been under review starting when Hillary ran for President. How screwed up in our system that Hillary could become president with no review of Bill's finances, but a review might preclude her from becoming Secretary of State? How screwed up is it that Obama's associations would preclude him from having any high office in government or even a security clearance, except elected office?

Paulson resists Democrat calls to use the $700 billion as an economic stimulus package for Democrat interests. This is like a selfish, blind aristocrat leading a more selfish, deaf aristocrats, but they want us to think this setup is for the good of the country.

Why have we and the rest of the world sat on our hands while Somali pirates have taken over a city? Pirates demand $10 million. They'll probably get it. Then we should wipe them out. It's an abomination that the international community, led by us, allows this to happen. Do we need to announce that pirates are terrorists? Of course they are.

Democrats allow Lieberman to keep his chairmanship. Smart move. If they had taken it away, he probably would have caucused with Republicans.

Britain's NHS can't afford to buy expensive drugs to help terminally ill people and to treat everybody else. The aristocrats must choose one or the other. And this is what liberals want to force on the American people, but it will be far worse, because Britain's system, like Canada's and the socialized medicine systems of every other country in the world are backed up by the US partially socialized medicine system. Once we go to socialized medicine, all the systems in the world will implode, including ours.

Oh my goodness, this video is hilarious in a very sad way. It shows just how scandalously misinformed Obama voters were about the election. The press must be ecstatic with how well they misinformed the people in order to get Obama elected. This has been verified with a Zogby poll. Zogby is being slimed for pointing out how uninformed Obama voters were. Zogby is about as far away from an agent of the right as it gets.

Rupert Murdoch says the media has lost the trust of the people. Gosh, ya think?

Since 2000, government spending has increased 55 percent. That's what happens when there is no opposition party in Washington. When the president and both parties in Congress share a liberal vision of the role of government, Americans lose big time. Things might get better now that Republicans are going to suddenly oppose big spending. That's my hope, anyway.

The SFChronicle asks a important question in today's environment. Are you an idiot to keep paying your mortgage? Government has forced people all over the country to ask themselves that question, and you know many have answered yes and stopped.

Bill Clinton claims he will submit future charity and business activities if it will help Hillary become Sec. of State. Who is he kidding? Once she's in, he'll ignore that promise. I wonder if Obama will fall for it.

Irish filmmaker takes on Al Gore and his phony church of man-made global warming. It would be a lot more impressive if he actually made the film instead of just soliciting donations.

Boortz explains that Democrats' proposed bailout of automakers is really a proposed bailout out auto workers unions.

George Will explains that bailing out the automakers would transfer Detroit's bad management to taxpayers. Let them fail and let them rise from the ashed like phoenixes, stronger than they are now.

Reason delivers a post-mortem on Bob Barr's disappointing campaign. Reason says libertarianism can save the Republicans, and they're right. As I've been saying, we need a charismatic libertarian communicator to hijack the Republican party in hopes of saving the country.

Unless Spock is drugged up or something, like he was in several ST:TOS episodes, I'm not looking forward to him losing control and fighting Kirk. It's not believable that Spock had such poor control over his emotions at that point.

Governments having a hard time supplying gold coins.

The AP was reporting that Sen. Stevens lost in Alaska. Serves the crook right, but the best scenario was a Stevens win, having him resign or be kicked out of the Senate, and having Gov. Palin appoint a Republican replacement.

Now Alan Keyes has filed suit to make Obama prove he's a US citizen. Why is that so hard for Obama? If a court told me to do so, any normal American would just give them a copy of birth certificate, and that's not even if the presidency hung in the balance. It would serve Obama right if he was disqualified because he didn't meet the natural born citizen requirement after he won his first election by kicking all the competition off the ballot on petition technicalities.

City threatens to put a lien on the home of a 74 year old blind woman because of a 1 penny utility bill. I bet they could handle this a better way.
