Stop Obama Now - while you still have your freedom

Did Palin just kill the new feminism?

Probably one of the most interesting aspects of Sarah Palin's relatively short ride to national celebrity is the notion that she embodies a new kind of feminism. 

Forget the bra-burners of yore. It's been said that Palin has turned the feminism of the past 30+ years on its head by demonstrating that women can have it all: family, career and prominence in what is still considered primarily a man's dominion. Oh, and she's good looking to boot.

24 profound statements

Many thanks to a Wall Street friend for passing this along. Which one is your favorite?

In my many years I have come to a conclusion

that one useless man is a shame,

two is a law firm

and three or more is a congress.

Mr. President, you scare me

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

By Lou Pritchett

Note: Lou Pritchett is a former vice president of Procter & Gamble whose career at that company spanned 36 years before his retirement in 1989, and he is the author of the 1995 business book, Stop Paddling & Start Rocking the Boat. 

Mr. Pritchett confirmed that he was indeed the author of the much-circulated "open letter." “I did write the 'you scare me' letter. I sent it to the NY Times but they never acknowledged or published it. However, it hit the internet and according to the ‘experts’ has had over 500,000 hits.

Read my lips 2: No new taxes

Thanks to a kindred spirit for passing along this great video, courtesy of the folks at American Solutions. No new taxes? Think again; we're about to get walloped with enormous energy costs if crapcap-and-trade becomes law.

Who am I?

I don't know who authored this, but it's worth the read:

I was born in one country, raised in another. 

My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women. 

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. 

Letter from Chrysler dealer

Courtesy of the American Thinker, a letter from an actual Chrysler dealer who is the subject of government-sponsored theft - a government that freely takes from private citizens in order to give to its cronies: in this case, the UAW. The letter is reprinted here, in full. Add to this another tasty tidbit: that the majority of dealerships being forced to close donated to the GOP.

Change we can believe in? US debt could match GDP in 5 years

From the Financial Times:

Under President Barack Obama’s budget plan, the federal debt is exploding. To be precise, it is rising – and will continue to rise – much faster than gross domestic product, a measure of America’s ability to service it. The federal debt was equivalent to 41 per cent of GDP at the end of 2008; the Congressional Budget Office projects it will increase to 82 per cent of GDP in 10 years. With no change in policy, it could hit 100 per cent of GDP in just another five years.

New card law to credit what CRA is to mortgages

Ok, not the pithiest title ever, but here's the point: the new Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act (Credit CARD) signed by Obama into law last week will do to the credit card industry what the Community Investment Act (CRA) did to mortgage lending.

Say what?

I'm ba-a-a-ck!

Talk about being in the wilderness. 

After a long and painful winter watching The One assume the highest post in the land and promptly set to work ruining every great thing this country stands for, I decided I could no longer idle on the sidelines.

So here it is, the first post of the new year. Better late than never. 

To my trusty friends (you know who you are!), keep the great content you've been sending my way coming. We have a lot of work to do; let's get to it!

AT LEAST 52% OF AMERICANS ARE IDIOTS

Okay. I've gone underground lately. To be honest, been thinking of how to best repurpose and use this blog platform now that the election is over. And while I ponder that, ponder this:

52% of Americans think Caroline Kennedy is qualified to be a United States senator. 

Then again, 53% had similar glowy thoughts about Barack Obama's readiness for the highest office of the land. Go figure.

OBAMA: PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD?

Read this scary piece from the Financial Times; could it happen?

WOULDA, COULDA, SHOULDA: THE MCCAIN AD THAT WASN'T

Would it have mattered? Who knows. McCain was steadfast in not going "there"--there being anywhere that could be remotely construed as racist. Have a look for yourself and listen to this spot on ABC's Good Morning America.

What do you think?
