Clipping, Scrimping, Saving

1st May 2008

Read it.

But last month the 34-year-old Bowie resident felt she no longer had a choice. She’d already given up organic meat and decided to buy organic milk only for her 2-year-old son, not for the whole family.

My, what a hardship. Cry me a river.

If the government weren’t requiring us to burn food, we wouldn’t have these problems.

House Says Earmark Merits Criminal Probe

Read it.

This is the same House of Representatives in which William Jefferson (D-La.) sits after having $90,000 in bribe money found in his freezer.

Color me unimpressed.

Best and Brightest, but Not the Nicest

I’m saying that sometimes some of these students will denounce world hunger but be unfriendly to the homeless. They will debate environmental policy but never offer to take out the trash. They will believe vehemently in many causes but roll their eyes when reminded to be humble, to be generous and to “do what is right.”

Hey, they’re just practicing for their bright future in the Overclass. Look at AlGore and Hillary for an example of the results.

Clinton blasts Bush for not stopping a project Bill OK’d

1st May 2008

Read it.

What Clinton never includes in the oft-repeated tale is the role that prominent Democrats played in selling the company and its technology to the Chinese. She never mentions that big-time Democratic contributor George Soros helped put together the deal to sell the company or that the sale was approved by her husband’s administration.

So I guess it wasn’t Bush’s fault after all…?

In response, the Clinton campaign said that Bill Clinton’s administration had gotten assurances at the time it approved the deal that production would remain inside the United States, and that the shift of jobs to China didn’t occur until under the Bush administration.

Huh. Perhaps it’s true that you can’t bullshit a bullshitter but apparently it is possible to lie successfully to a liar.

“Hillary Clinton must have been hoping we Hoosiers have short memories,” Ed Dixon of Valparaiso said in a letter to a local newspaper after a recent Clinton visit. “Her husband was president at the time and allowed this to happen.”

I suspect that Hillary Clinton, like her husband, is hoping that every voter in American has a short memory.
