It seems the Most Inexperienced President Ever™ is having one or two problems with his first two months in office. For all his articulateness and gift for oratory, this president seems to be spending his time in the Oval Office walking into walls. He has botched up more things in two months in office than…

It its attempt to turn the USA into the USSR, Congress is proposing to outlaw legal farmer’s markets. What this will do is force anyone who produces food of any kind, and then transports it to a different location for sale, to register with a new federal agency called the “Food Safety Administration.” Even growers…

It seems our most esteemed Drug War General, Barry McCaffrey, is no longer towing the Government line on marijuana at least. He in effect says legalize it for adults. Also note why he couldn’t say it before. He was muzzled by government. I wonder if our new Drug Czar will have the same problem? Cross…

I just found out that I don’t believe in GOD. And I can tell you that I couldn’t be happier. Government Of Democrats Of course I’d like to see Republicans get a spine. Every time they want to spend like drunken sailors all they have to do is say: “but I’m against abortion”. And the…

Obama is NOT Jesus. Jesus knew how to put a cabinet together. I guess that’s the difference between the two Messiahs. Obama spends and Jesus saves. Followers of The One will find The Story of O very helpful for the New Age. You will be abused and you will love it. Somewhere in Chicago, a…

The honeymoon that any new President generally gets (typically 100 days) is over. About 40 days early. Bad news for The One. President Obama’s honeymoon is beginning to fade. Members of Congress and old political hands say he needs to show substantial progress reviving the economy soon. Some Democrats have started to worry that voters…

I was reading a blog by some college kids, the Undercurrent, that looks at the contradictions of the present Republican coalition. In the aftermath of the substantial Democratic victory in last November’s election, Republicans nationwide are reported to be doing a great deal of “soul searching.” Indeed they should. After all, times are not looking…

There are plans afoot for a floating city off the coast of San Francisco. A floating city off the coast of San Francisco may sound like science fiction, but it could be reality in the not-too-distant future. The Seasteading Institute already has drawn up plans for the construction of a homestead on the Pacific Ocean.…

The Democrats are going to use prohibition induced violence to take away our gun rights. Because only criminals should be allowed to have guns or drugs. I have been saying for several decades that drug prohibition would lead to gun prohibition. Way to go Conservatives. Because like you know. Prohibition works. Cross Posted at Power…

Breasts and popular music. Now there is a topic that grabs my interest. It seems to have grabbed the interest of Discover Magazine as well. Except we are not talking Lenny Kravitz. We are talking 17th Century ballads. People who yearn for old-fashioned public decency might be surprised to talk to historian Angela McShane-Jones at…

Even the New York Times was sounding the warning. Nine and a half years ago. In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders. The action, which will begin…

My friends when Pat Buchanan says legalize drugs, political support for the drug war has collapsed. How does one win a drug war when millions of Americans who use recreational drugs are financing the cartels bribing, murdering and beheading to win the war and keep self-indulgent Americans supplied with drugs? There are two sure ways…

Mr. Obama is big into alternative energy. Wind. Solar. Geothermal. However, even his supporters have doubts about his energy plans. I like Barack Obama but I have doubts about his presidency when I hear him saying that the US will “double the amount of energy that comes from renewable sources by the end of my…

I’m not talking about the economy. That is already done for. I’m talking about Obama’s coming crack up. A commenter at Gateway Pundit makes an interesting observation. He thinks we’re all idiots who will swoon over him for eight straight years. Even so, he’s starting to have a kind of permanent sheen of flop sweat…

Stuart Taylor has a column up about how he was fooled by Obama’s rhetoric. Having praised President Obama’s job performance in two recent columns, it is with regret that I now worry that he may be deepening what looks more and more like a depression and may engineer so much spending, debt, and government control…

All three go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then…

I’m reading No Quarter for a change and I came across a “Progressive” who is unhappy with Obama. Remember how we (meaning, progressives, liberals, Democrats, fair-minded people) got really upset when the Republican majority used all kinds of tricks to get their way? It made us mad. But now, Obama is thinking of using a…
