Quitters Stick With It. Winners Quit.
Via TPM, that’s the take-away from Sarah Palin’s speech. On twitter, Ezra Klein advises ambitious bloggers to comb through the speech for other internal contradictions. The headline says it all for me and I hope we’re done with this hack. John McCain was an idiot for putting her on the national stage. After the jump, [...]

Tunneling and Landscaping
One thing about tunnels is that to see the light at the end of them, you have to build them before you get to experience the darkness and wonder about the light at the end. If it’s a pedestrian tunnel as part of a bridge and landscaping project, it was an afterthought and there was [...]

Table of Junk
Steve Rattner, one of the new puppet masters Ecuador election results continue leftward tilt in South America. Obama administration quietly seeking extraordinary military power in Pakistan. Messing with the polls and other tricks to manufacture consent to Israeli apartheid Line between espionage and lobbying further blurred in recent acquittal.

The Yawning Sarcophagus of Common Sense
The problem with the Tax Day Teabag Protests was that no alternative was offered. Some of those interviewed called Obama a fascist but could not articulate why they felt this way. The governor Texas threatening to secede is apparently signaling his constituents that it’s okay to hate America again. I understand the bipartisan frustration of [...]

Come Back Tomorrow
The other drug store in my neighborhood is open 24 hours, bitches. What’s with all the red? Obama officials embody the corruption he promised to get rid of. Glennzilla reports. Boom time for criminal syndicates. Robot army deployment. Bill Moyers and Michael Winship call for a more serious investigation. Update: I meant to point out [...]

Winners in a Slow Economy
What can you say about the food sold at the 99¢ store? They got my 99¢, I got some food that tastes different, and the big guys with the obnoxious website did not get my $3.99. These are the same guys voraciously taking over the packaged organic food industry. From Richard’s Forewards and elsewhere: Tom [...]

Fixer Upper For Sale
The Wall Street Journal reports Obama’s poll numbers are really starting to slip. While this may be true, the MSM’s insistence that this has been true all along is false, partly because MSM coverage of the stimulus has been disingenuous. Obama’s centrist approach will keep him afloat for a little while. So the fringe is [...]

Richard’s Forewards 2
Nouriel Roubini recommends several drastic proposals. (registration req’d). These include: massive and more unorthodox monetary policy easing to defrost credit markets even if this may imply central banks widening collateral and taking greater credit risk; massive and front-loaded fiscal stimulus more on the spending than tax side and with income relief to agents with high [...]
