One of the long known goals of Osama bin Laden was to financially break the United States: A key facet of bin Laden’s anti-American warfare has always been economic. It’s a lesson he drew from the Afghan-Soviet war, in which he first served as a financier of mujahidin efforts and then as a fighter. He […]
Dean was supporting the bill with the Medicare buy-in but that has changed now: In a blow to the bill grinding through the Senate, Howard Dean bluntly called for the bill to be killed in a pre-recorded interview set to air later this afternoon, denouncing it as “the collapse of health care reform in the […]
There has been a lot of warnings lately that we are heading right towards another Lehman style collapse: Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel Prize- winning economist, said the U.S. has failed to fix the underlying problems of its banking system after the credit crunch and the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. “In the U.S. and […]
Someone doesn’t like people talking about her man: I was disappointed to read “Gov. Paterson’s Performance” (editorial, May 9), which characterized Joe Scarborough as a “leader in the Republican attack squad.” My television and radio co-host has spent the last five years being equally tough on Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington. Joe was one […]
I was just reading a post on James Joyner’s Outside the Beltway, a right-leaning blog, where he also takes not of the bigger picture involving the collapse of Pajamas Media: Then again, the New York Times and Slate and dozens of other established, high quality sites are having trouble figuring out a model for making […]
Bush’s legacy keeps on building: The nation’s unemployment rate bolted to 7.2 percent in December, the highest level in 16 years, as nervous employers slashed 524,000 jobs, capping one of the worst years in modern history for American workers. But those are just the unemployed. Let’s not forget those who are still working, but have […]
It looks and sounds an awful lot like a stroke, but no definitive word has been given yet. Here is the statement released by the DOJ: “At the conclusion of his remarks before the Federalist Society Annual Dinner in Washington, D.C., Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey collapsed. “Upon his collapse, emergency first aid was rendered […]
Oh yeah – we have become a socialist nation. Not being online gave me more time to surf the channels and catch all the economic gurus talking about this collapse. It’s funny how everyone is now saying “oh I predicted it would happen”. I remember last summer when Jim Cramer was talking about it and […]
The technology behind the list that prevents so many innocent people from flying is a nightmare according to a Congressional investigation: In a letter to the inspector general at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence last week, Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) complained that the National Counterterrorism Center’s “Railhead” initiative, designed to upgrade the […]
People blaming Chuck Schumer for the collapse of Indymac is getting ridiculous. Now we have one of Kudlow’s butt buddies taking the bait. It’s funny how most haven’t heard of Schumer’s criticism of Indymac until after the collapse. Now that it’s over, they have found their scapegoat, who happens to be a Democrat. Here’s a […]
