Steve Sailer connects the dots so you don’t have to.
“Rezko paid the asking price on the same day Obama paid $300,000 less than the asking price to the same seller for his adjacent mansion,” he said. “This begs the question of payoff, bribe, kickback.”

My children hardly ever go to the dentist any more. This is not because they have good teeth – as half of their genes come from me, they may be destined to a life time of shoring up and pulling out yellowing stumps. Of course I take them if they ever complain of any pain, but they aren’t getting regular check-ups for the simple reason that our dentist has stopped working on the NHS.
This is what socialized medicine does to people. Note that, if the government doesn’t pay for it, she doesn’t take her kids to the dentist. In America we call that “child abuse”.

I think that the CEO’s at Freddie and Fannie were in a better position than anyone else to stop the madness. But if your idea of a housing system is to build up two firms with enormous power and count on them to exercise that power judiciously, then you might want to rethink your model.

The National Veterans Business Development Corp., also known as the Veterans Corp. (TVC), grossly mismanaged taxpayer dollars — including lavish spending on costly dinners and luxury hotels, first-class travel, and compensation for its top two executives that amounted to nearly a quarter of the charity’s federal funds, according to a report obtained by The Washington Post.
But … but … but … that’s what “federal funds” are for….

Rising prices for organic groceries are prompting some consumers to question their devotion to food produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers or antibiotics. In some parts of the country, a loaf of organic bread can cost $4.50, a pound of pasta has hit $3, and organic milk is closing in on $7 a gallon.
Quelle domage.

Steve Sailer distills the essence.
Obama was trying to follow Washington’s career path (state legislature, House of Representatives, mayor) when he ran for ex-Black Panther Bobby Rush’s House seat in the 2000 Democratic primary. But his rejection by black voters for not being black enough crushed his spirit and plunged him into a depression that he only got out of when he resolved in 2001 to that his future lay not in black districts but with appealing to the Stuff White People Like voting bloc.
