It looks like Bush changed his mind again, and he's not going to bailout auto makers. Instead, he's considering "orderly" bankruptcy. That should bring the unions back to the bargaining table for a new round of negotiations.

Bill Clinton releases the list of donors to his foundation which include numerous foreign governments and sovereign wealth funds. All this does is highlight the conflict of interest Hillary has as Sec. of State - it doesn't diminish that conflict. She's a dangerous pick for Sec. of State.

Who are these guys kidding? How scientific is "most likely do not contribute to climate change"? What kind of science is that? I have a feeling other scientists, looking at the exact same data, will have a different conclusion.

Nice of Boortz to link the IE security patch. Windows update already installed it on my desktop, but not my girlfriend's notebook.

Government spending increased 25 percent in 2008 before the bailouts started. That put us $1 trillion in the hole before the bailouts. I'd like to thank Bush and his Democrat congress for bringing the financial destruction of the US significantly closer. How could the long term cost of veteran's benefits jump so much in 1 year to account for the $339 billion of the increase, almost well over the previous year's total?

By renaming new taxes fees, California Democrats side step the 2/3 majority rule and Republicans and raise taxes in California. I'm sure Texas and Nevada will be happy to have more Californians move there. Or maybe not.

Obama's energy secretary supports raising gasoline taxes to change people's driving behavior. That's social engineering, and it will cost Americans more money, harming Americans.

The Washington Post adds a new classified section to congratulate Barack Obama on becoming president, but only positive comments are allowed. That's our unbiased press at work.

Study suggests 60 percent of Muslim schools in Britain are connected to extremists. This is pretty vague, but it does illustrates that non-extremist Muslims are not isolating the extremists. And that reflects the broader Muslim world in which Muslim political organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah and many others have terrorist wings. We'd done a terrible of dividing the non-extremists from the extremists in the western world and the Arab world. About the only place we've been successful is Iraq.

Primary owner of both GM and Chrysler finance divisions looking to merge them.

Appointing Caroline Kennedy to the senate would be a farce.

Jonah Goldberg pokes fun at the Democrats widespread corruption, most notably in Barack Obama's political hometown of Chicago as illustrated by Gov. Blagojevich, and the press that pretends it isn't so while going broke trying to invent non-existent Sarah Palin corruption. Democrats have always been the party of corruption, because power corrupts and Democrats long held power, but Republicans have evolved to give them a run for their money. Michelle Malkin describes the corrupt wives of the corrupt politicians of Chicago.

Walter Williams explains inflation, the dangers of the central banks including the Fed, and recommends removing taxes on precious metals so they can function as an alternative currency.

Democrats have adopted Al Gore's tactic of claiming there is no disagreement with his views, ducking debates because he knows he can't win them, and are applying it to all their policies. This is another reason the Justice Dept. should charge Al Gore with fraud. Al Gore and Democrats cannot be allowed to continue to harm Americans for their personal gain in profit and power.

GM shows how Ford made changes in the last few years to weather this storm, unlike GM and Chyrsler.

Israeli police injure each other in riot control exercise. Somebody took their roles a little too seriously.

Dick Morris explains that Israel is moving toward a hardline government at the same time Obama brings in weaker support for Israel, setting up a conflict.

Ann Coulter highlights some of the more egregious cases of Democrats stealing elections. And the efforts to steal the senate election in Minnesota continue.

Reason explains that inflation is a much more powerful driver of our society than we think.

Reason compares our current financial problems with Japan's financial problems from the 80s and compares the mistakes Japan made propping up zombie businesses with the mistakes we're making today.
