PoliticsThe Democrats Must Be Stopped
There are several reasons why some people still don't understand the fiscal disaster that Barack Obama and the Democratic Party are visiting on our nation. The first is the sheer enormity of the numbers involved. It is hard for anyone really to comprehend the difference between "billion" and "trillion."

White House insiders say...
Iowahawk compiles recent media reports conveying the deep thoughts of "White House insiders." He even rounds up one or two that you might have missed, such as the Highlights for Children scoop that "Joe Biden is Barack Obama's BFF!" and Iowahawk's more deeply sourced report suggesting that a reclusive Iowa blogger is the key to an Obama comeback. I hate to contradict Iowahawk, [...]

Cause and Effect
We already know that Barack Obama is an ignoramus when it comes to insurance. Beyond that, he believes that demagogic attacks on insurers are the way to drum up support for government medicine. It happened again today: Obama also offered his toughest criticism yet of a health insurance industry that he said placed profits ahead of patients. "Every year, they raise premiums higher [...]

Saturday Night Live: Zach Galifianakis With Vampire Weekend
Well, that was GREAT. Sure, the cold open about Barack Obama’s Health Care speech was a superdud, and there were a couple of other sketches that didn’t quite hit their marks (the kissing family in the funeral home was rocky at best, and I don’t think two guys kissing counts as a fully thought-out “joke”)
Who's A Terrorist Now?
One of the key arguments of Barack Obama's Presidential campaign was that he would improve America's image around the world.
