• NY Comptroller DiNapoli Instructed Public Employees on Pension Padding
  This is nice. Isn’t the comptroller supposed to be looking out for the taxpayers? I guess Democrat Thomas DiNapoli is more concerned with keeping the public employee unions happy. What else would explain him giving instructions on his website on padding their pensions? Democrat and Chronicle: In recent days, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has alleged overtime [...]
  
  
• They’re Coming After Our Retirement Accounts
  I told you about this in October of 2008, and again in May of this year. There is too much wealth sitting out there in private retirement accounts and the progressive statists want to get their hands on it. I read last night that the Department of Labor is scheduling hearings on what they call “lifetime [...]
  
  
• Bumbling Obama Now Talking About Tax Cuts
  President Obama is grasping at straws. He’s desperate to do something about the wretched economy before the November elections. He’s proposing some temporary business tax cuts, while allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire and raising taxes on energy companies. Fox News: President Obama, in one of his most dramatic gestures to business, will propose that [...]

• Hypocrite Michael Moore Keeps it Classy
  Michael Moore published a profanity laced screed against Rahm Emanuel for a comment attributed to Emanuel about the UAW. Not that I mind the old lib-on-lib attack, I just find it kind of amusing, since Michael Moore didn’t use union workers on his movie Capitalism, A Love Story. New York Post: Michael Moore, champion of the [...]
  
  
• Rare Video of Winston Churchill in Color
  Here’s rare video footage of Winston Churchill in 1941. It’s unique because it’s in color. I’m sure these aren’t the “in living color” images my grandfather remembered from WWII. But they were fighting for the same cause, against the same enemy, so I guess it’s something that binds us, at least until the Muslims take over. I [...]
  
  
• Union Boss Trumka Bashes Tea Parties, GOP at Obama Labor Day Event
  President Obama’s new BFF, Richard Trumka, bashed the Tea Parties, bankers, and the GOP at a Labor Day event. He forgot to mention his own history of violence. He also isn’t well schooled on what has killed our economy, and millions of jobs for American workers. Trumka also forgot to mention the sheer hypocrisy of his [...]
  
  
• Waxman Sees November Silver Lining – Difficult Democrats Won’t Be Back
  By “difficult Democrats” Waxman means those Democrats who don’t come from liberal, Kool-Aid drinking, gerrymandered districts. The Hill: Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) believes the November elections will likely weed out some of the “most difficult Democrats” that leadership lawmakers have dealt with this Congress. In an interview with The Hill, the Energy and Commerce Committee chairman expressed [...]
  
  
• Venezuela Issues ‘Good Life Card’
  Sounds like food stamps to me. (Oh, sorry, we don’t call it food stamps anymore. Now it’s called SNAP!) Miami Herald: Chávez said Tuesday that the card could be used to buy groceries at the government chain of markets and supplies. “I have called it a Good Life Card so far,” Chávez said in a brief statement [...]
