KRUGMAN: not raising taxes is the same as paying people.

Mr. Obama appears to agree: by his logic, every dollar a taxpayer gets to keep is a "cost" - so if someone makes $100,000 per year and pays $30,000 in federal income taxes, the cost to the government obviously is $70,000.

In the liberals' view, all the money earned by everyone actually belongs to the government. In their beneficence, they allow wage earners to keep some of it, even though the government must incur tremendous costs to do so.

Don't you worry your little heads; Aunt Nanny and Uncle Sam will take care of you.

PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME why would I want an FM radio (or any radio for that matter) in my cell phone?

OBAMACARE: a stimulus package for lobbyists.

You expected something different?

A NEW RECORD FOR MR. OBAMA: a presidential approval index of -24; set only 4 days after his previous record of -23 last Sunday. At this rate, the President is a shoo-in for -30 by election day.

THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING PRESIDENT:

Dear Mister President,
Please pick a fight with my son, Donnie.

My Mom

Pick one with me, too.

STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED: Scott Brown is now the Republican senator from Massachusetts.

AFTER SOARING, wind glides. The “cuteness” factor has peaked.

NO SHIT, SHERLOCK: 'Clunkers' was a classic government folly.

When all is said and done, Cash for Clunkers was a deplorable exercise in budgetary wastefulness, asset destruction, environmental irrelevance, and economic idiocy. Other than that, it was a screaming success.

RAHM EMANUEL is asian?

WHEN WILL WE HAVE ANOTHER BLACK PRESIDENT?

It’s entirely possible that President Obama has poisoned the well for at least a generation. It has nothing to do with the fact that he is black; it is because he is grossly ill-fitted for the job and may well be the worst U.S. president thus far.

I think that’s a fair statement. Read it all.

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS' BLUEBONNETS

ARE WE SURE it isn’t interstellar Braille?

DAY TRIP - Susquehanna River Water Trail in south-central Pennsylvania. The parts we drove along reminded me of what used to be said of the Rio Grande river separating Texas from Mexico: “a mile wide and an inch deep.”

SOCIAL SECURITY STUPIDITY: Paul Krugman is Economics’ Goofus MacDuff.

Correction: My bad. In the book, Goofus always got the analysis right, and the conclusion wrong. Krugman couldn't even get the analysis right.

CONGRATULATIONS, MR. PRESIDENT:


On September 5, a new low of -23 in the Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index.

SENIOR EXECUTIVES, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and campaign committees in 2008.

That must be why they’re mad that Fox News got a front row seat in the White House press briefing room - they thought they had paid for it.

NOW THAT THE IRAQ WAR IS OVER, deficits will go down.


Oh, really?

LESSONS from the Lightworker:

Our formerly august mainstream media is replete with socialists.

Liberals love the poor with other people’s money.

Liberals only economic policy is tax and spend, spend, spend, then tax some more.

Appeasement still does not work.

Liberals never ask “Is it constitutional?” or “Will it work?”

Read it all.

WITH A WHIMPER OR A BANG — OR NOT AT ALL? I think we’ll know in November.

HEH: Look who’s nativist now.
