Dems trying to reverse the Contract with America

6th January 2009

Read it.

Pelosi’s maneuvers are the latest sign that she has abandoned her promise to “create the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history.” By limiting the minority’s ability to offer alternative legislation on the House floor, Pelosi is shutting down one of the few legislative weapons Republicans have at their disposal. Ending term limits means many chairman will weild the gavel until they retire or die.

Who believes Democrat promises? Not us.

Leon Panetta For DCI?

6th January 2009

Read it.

This does not faze some of Panetta’s defenders, who assure us that all of the sudden, intelligence experienceis not all that important. What matters, we are assured, is judgment. That’s nice; of course, given the background of the incoming President of the United States, one might expect that experience would be downgraded. But after a while, these snide dismissals of experience grow lame, do they not? We have a major task ahead of us to augment our intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities and we are picking someone to serve as DCI who has no background whatsoever in these matters. Am I to believe that we shouldn’t be nervous over that?

Next: George Stephanopolous for Secretary of Defense. It could happen.

Mythbusting On Tax Policy

5th January 2009

Read it.

The link is just for reference — this is sufficiently important that I’m going to mirror the entire post.

Greg Mankiw reminds us that popular opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, the rich pay more in taxes than do other income groups. And this, of course, is why serious efforts to cut taxes must include tax cuts for the rich (as Willie Sutton would say, that’s where the money is) and why “middle-class tax cuts” really don’t amount to all that much (as Willie Sutton would say, that’s where the money isn’t).

I really wish that more people would point this kind of thing out in debates over tax policy. Instead, the vast majority of commentators seems content to engage in class warfare and propagating sheer falsehoods that would have us believe that the further one goes up the income scale, the less one pays in taxes. I know that class warfare is a sort of comfort ideology but it leads to bad policymaking. One would have thought that bad policymaking would alarm some people, but apparently, that’s too much to hope for.

Teachers’ lessons go viral on education video Web site

5th January 2009

Read it.

Thousands of teachers are sharing videos on a Web site called Teacher Tube, started in March 2007 by Jason Smith, 39, the superintendent of Melissa ISD in rural Collin County, and his brother Adam, 29, an engineer.

I’m not sure which is the more disquieting: The notion that Collin County’s dysfunctional public education system is now exposed for the world to see, or the notion that the rest of the world is sufficiently worse off that they’re looking to Collin County’s dysfunctional public education system for pointers.

Organisation is the secret to a long life

YES!

While they may seem boring, those with self-control are more likely to be healthy than people who take risks.

Highly conscientious people live on average two to four years longer, are less likely to smoke or drink to excess, and live more stable and less stressful lives, Prof Friedman found.

Things White People Like #119 Sea Salt

4th January 2009

Read it.

But Sea Salt is like Trader Joes, Banksy, or The Shins-entry level to their respective field.  Therefore, it is important that you learn about other more expensive salts so that you can complain about not having them.  To a white person, this shows that you know and love expensive things but feel sad that you can’t yet afford them.

I have never known a White Person who was not a food snob. Preference for sea salt is an essential component thereof.

Clashing Civilizations

3rd January 2009

Mark Steyn starts the new year off right.

Over in Gaza, whether or not they’re putting the Christ back in Christmas, they’re certainly putting the crucifixion back in Easter.

In Gaza, they don’t vote for Hamas because they want access to university education. Or, if they do, it’s to get Junior into the Saudi-funded Hamas-run Islamic University of Gaza, where majoring in rocket science involves making one and firing it at the Zionist Entity. In 2007, as part of their attempt to recover Gaza from Hamas, Fatah seized 1,000 Qassam rockets at the university, as well as seven Iranian military trainers.

Wafa Samir Ibrahim al-Biss, a young Palestinian woman who received considerate and exemplary treatment at an Israeli hospital in Beersheva, returned to that same hospital packed with explosives in order to blow herself up and kill the doctors and nurses who restored her to health.
