Quite. And people complain about how hard it is to actually make it to the top levels of wealth, as if there’s some great mystery.

Check out the photos of the dust storm in Sydney.
The FDIC starts taking out loans from the banks it’s bailing out in order to further provide loans…sounds like good economic theory to me?
Obama, like other recent Democratic presidents, finds the need to quibble over definitions in order to maintain honesty.
Mr. President, it’s a tax, no matter how you spin it.
But this time about healthcare.
When federal investigations are launched on companies that issue warnings to their employees about how the healthcare bill could affect their insurance, or the National Endowment for the Arts is revealed to have played a large role in Obama’s campaign, and continue to play a role in pushing for his agenda?
These are the kinds of things people would rant that BusHitler was involved in, proving that he was some sort of tyrannical would be dictator – the kind of accusations that rarely had any evidence to back them. And yet here we are, with actual evidence of these programs, and somehow the outrage level seems…lower.
And forms a new organization that I think will end up with more noteworthy success in space than any government has or will have. (H/t Transterrestrial).
I’ll start taking global warming seriously when they do. And when the climate actually starts warming, as opposed to cooling, and without the sun’s solar cycles involved. And when they actually seriously think about solutions that we know would reduce our environmental footprint while further enabling our future, as opposed to protesting every technological solution ever.
Can you figure out what all the top slaving nations have in common?
This isn’t new, by the way. What do you think the Shores of Tripoli in the Marine anthem is referring to?
Count me in! Although, like reason, I didn’t realize that actually believing basic parts of the constitution meant what they said was something that explicitly meant you were a fringe nutcase. Apparently to the Democrats and media (one and the same, I know!) it does, though. Probably something I should have realized, I guess.
Right in Mississippi. But of course the trial lawyers hate this and it doesn’t involve massive new government and Democratic power, so it’s not an option to even be considered. Neither is the idea of actually giving Americans more power and choices in their healthcare.
I’ve seen this link a couple of times now, where the AP is essentially trying to spin a report to prove that torture is useless for extracting information.
- That’s not what the report says, it actually just says that torture isn’t effective as a long term method.
- The story implicitly defines waterboarding as torture by showing a picture of it right on the cover. Anything that thousands of lefty protesters are willing to do to themselves on capital hill, repeatedly, is not torture.
- We know that harsh interrogation techniques were used by the Bush administration to great effectiveness on a very few high priority targets thanks to the publicly released records of such interrogations (something the AP doesn’t bother mentioning), so the AP’s conclusions and spin are entirely false, and trivially disproven.
Isn’t it amazing how many of the big Democrat donors are involved in massive criminal transactions? And yet somehow this always happens to innocent politicians who knew nothing about it…
