FAIR AND DECENT?

The “benefit” of a post-racial president - draw your own conclusions.

BEST PROTEST POSTER EVER

This one came to me via email, so I don't know where the Tea Party took place ...


... but I sure admire the author. My sentiments exactly!

MEDICAID FRAUD

A new GAO report says that in fiscal years 2006 and 2007, prescription drug fraud in Medicaid cost more than $63 million in just five states: California, Illinois, New York, North Carolina and Texas.”

And you want the government to take over healthcare? And it’ll only cost $829 billion over 10 years?

WHATEVER

The most annoying term of 2009.
It can be an all-purpose argument-ender or a signal of apathy. And it can really be annoying. The poll found "whatever" to be consistently disliked by Americans regardless of their race, gender, age, income or where they live.
Whatever.

IT'S OFFICIAL

Barack Obama is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

The world has gone completely insane; the inmates have taken over the asylum.

[Update] Even Richard Cohen is astonished.

[Another update] Why didn’t Obama win the Nobel Prize for Literature? And Instapundit is on a roll ... keep checking.

[Yet another update] Perhaps the Nobel Committee [Committee? or Committed? - Daisy] should rename it the "Good Intentions" Prize.

[Final update] Meet the people who didn't win.

WE’RE NUMBER ONE!

Systems Engineers. “Demand is soaring for systems engineers, as what was once a niche job in the aerospace and defense industries becomes commonplace among a diverse and expanding universe of employers ....”

Well, yes. I’ve had a mostly enjoyable career as a systems engineer, but don’t let anyone tell you that it isn’t a very volatile occupation. Read the comments.

I MAY BE FAT

But you’re ugly ... and I can diet.

CONGRESSIONAL “CLAWBACK”

Obama's pay czar proposes taking back monies already legally paid to executives.

Why not try the same thing with our congresscritters?

OBAMA DEMOLISHED

What comes around, goes around. Read it all.

DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND

WARNING: “F-bomb” content.

Democrats: do you really want these people on your side?

And this is in the “Greatest Threads” section.
