England’s Higher Tax on the Rich Produces Unintended Effect – Think Wile E Obama and the ACME Economic Destruction Co. Will Get the Message?
My guess is no. Obama mentioned “fair” or “fairness” a lot in his state of the union address, mostly to signal his desire to raise taxes on the wealthy.

Watch Fetish: Reactor Poseidon
Though I don’t exactly have a need for it (or, at $1000, the budget), the REACTOR 55907 Poseidon would be a nice watch to wear on occasion. Plus, it’s just a great looking watch.

James Pethokoukis of The Enterprise Blog provides the details: Testifying before the House Budget Committee today, U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told Chairman Paul Ryan the following: “We’re not coming before you to [...]
Glenn Morton’s Got the Right Reason to Run for Congress: “I Don’t Exist to Serve the State!”
This guy is running for Congress in Maryland, against Steny Hoyer. Here’s a quote from his website, and it’s right on the money: “Obamacare is the greatest threat to our freedom and way of life,” says Mr. Morton. “It will harm the African-American community the most, and benefit dominant insurance companies in every state in [...]

More Nanny-State Nightmares: NC Lunch Inspector Declares 4 Year-Old’s Bag Lunch Substandard; Gives Her Chicken Nuggets
At a North Carolina preschool, the lunch inspector (warning bell ringing loudly) inspected the contents of a 4 year-old’s home-packed lunch and declared it did not meet the USDA’s guidelines for a “healthy” lunch.

Fliers React to Proposed Fee Hike for “TSA Clown Show”
The Boston Herald has an article today about fliers’ reactions to the proposed new fee hikes for funding TSA security in Wile E. Obama’s budget: No grope tax! That’s the message from Bay State fliers, already saddled with sky-high ticket prices and now fuming over the president’s proposal to triple the cost of passenger security [...]

Hmmm. Is Apple Considering a Smaller iPad?
Saw this at PCMag.com. Would they be considering this if Steve Jobs was still around? Would you consider buying a smaller iPad?

Obama Launches #TruthTeam to Hold GOP Accountable. More Likely Outcome: More #attackwatch Mockery
After their <sarc> highly successful </sarc> Attack Watch campaign -which was mocked roundly the instant it became known- you’d think that Wile E. Obama and his band of ersatz advisors would come up with a better plan than “Truth Team” to get folks to snitch on, and tell the truth to, those lying bastard Republicans. [...]
Daniel Hannan’s Speech at CPAC: There’s Still Time to Correct America’s Course
Hannan has been a member of the European Parliament for more than a decade. He uses his speech at CPAC to warn the attendees that we’re on the same path, with our current government’s inclination, that Europe has gone down. The great thing, he advises, is we still have time to change our course, if [...]
Latest PPP Poll: Santorum Surges into the Lead
Perhaps now we have found the conservative we’re looking for. I say perhaps, because another weekly news cycle will bring new information to temper the enthusiasm folks seems to have generated for Mr. Santorum.

The “Growing Income Inequality” BS that Obama and the Rest of the Libs are Peddling is Just That: BS
We been hearing the incessant mantra from Wile E Obama (CEO of the ACME Economic Destruction Co.) and the rest of the libs that “the rich need to pay their ‘fair share’ of taxes” because income inequality is supposedly worse than ever. The Tax Foundation has a study that says this is not true. The [...]
Why is Scott Walker Facing a Recall? The Unions – They Want Their Money Back
Scott Walker spoke at CPAC yesterday, and cited Ronald Reagan as his inspiration for serving in government. As governor of Wisconsin, he has led a real reformation for a state that was headed down the same crapper that Illinois is in now: In 2010, a survey of employers found that only 10% thought the state [...]

Occutards Leave McPherson Square 99% Destroyed
Before the Occupy Wall Street vermin arrived, McPherson Square in Washington D.C. looked like this: After they flushed the rats out of the park, and cleaned up the toxic aftermath, it looks like this.
