No, seriously, he will, and he seems really geared up for it! President Obama will sign into law Thursday the Improper Payment Elimination Act — an effort designed to slim down wasteful government programs and curb fraud in federal spending. “The fact is, Washington is a place where tax dollars are often treated like Monopoly […]

Yesterday, I had a second post ready to go about about racism, which included a bit from Ben Smith’s article about Obama being pretty lame on the subject (Melissa Clouthier covers that story this morning.) However, since there were several other posts about racism up at Right Wing News (I cross post the first two […]

Heh heh. Mr. Do As I Say Not As I Do has some humorous “advice” for federal workers (via Planet Gore) President Barack Obama wants federal workers to cut down on business travel and commuting by car as he seeks to reduce heat-trapping emissions produced by the federal government. The White House was announcing Tuesday […]

Once again, a media outlet builds a cute little strawman argument regarding the illegal immigration debate. They know they do not have a leg to stand on, and it would not be particularly popular, if they tried their real argument, namely, that they are in favor of saying “screw the law, we want new voters.” […]

So, one of the big stories from Monday was the racist remarks by USDA official Shirley Sherrod to the NAACP, highlighted by Big Government.

How bad are Obama and the Democrats policies for unemployment? This bad Presidents typically invite Americans to appear at Rose Garden press conferences to trumpet their policy successes, but yesterday we saw what may have been a first. President Obama introduced three Americans—an auto worker, a fitness center employee and a woman in real estate—who’ve […]

Hey, ‘memba this? Today, NAACP delegates passed a resolution to condemn extremist elements within the Tea Party, calling on Tea Party leaders to repudiate those in their ranks who use racist language in their signs and speeches. I’m sure the NAACP will jump right up and repudiate those in their ranks who use racist language […]

Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite action. Too bad over-blown and idiotic legislation doesn’t do the same, because, in this case, when you push the ball at 5mph, it explodes and moves at 50mph, causing all sorts of damage U.S. banks, hedge funds and other […]

One of the fun stories on Memeorandum is about people hanging out waiting in places for Barack Obama to once again shirk his duties and take yet another vacation. Too be honest, I glossed over it, till I saw the spin over at Fark (Doug Powers, blogging at Michelle Malkin’s spot, caught it too): White […]

Over at Forbes, Brian Wingfield writes about something I noticed yesterday, as well, while listening to the Jason Schnitt Show on the way home (taped delay in Raleigh, tuned in using iHeart Radio), which had excerpts from PeBo’s speech. Though, Wingfield is a bit more charitable with his headline: Is Obama Claiming Credit for Gulf […]
