Don't Let Me Stop You

What the heck; you'll do what you want anyway.
  • Moving to WordPress
    For those still paying attention, DLMSY is relocating to WordPress. The shutdown of the Haloscan comment system forced me to Do Something, so I decided to move.

  • Obama Gives Partisan Speech Denouncing Partisanship
    A petulant President Barack Obama chided Republicans for disagreeing with him on the Porkulous Bill, as he spoke to a Dem Party gathering. As Politico reports, he welcomes the debate with those nasty partisans, who have nothing useful to say:At Dem retreat, a partisan love fest - Yahoo! News: In what was the most pointedly partisan speech of his young presidency, Obama rejected Republican

  • Bailoutistan Dead Ahead
    Mark Steyn takes on the argument that GM and Chrysler are "Too Big to Fail." Not so much. Where does the current "bailout everyone in sight" course lead us? We're in the fast lane to Bailoutistan. It's an excellent article, full of Steyn's unique wit:"General Motors now has a market valuation about a third of Bed, Bath & Beyond, and no one says your Swash 700 Elongated Biscuit Toilet Seat Bidet

    The sycophantic national press, having carried Obama throughout the campaign, now is providing ready-made excuses in advance for his upcoming struggles. No sooner does Obama call for reduced expectations, than the press obliges by telling us how hard he will have it. Why he's just like Lincoln and Roosevelt. Power Line comments: "Well, yes, I can see the analogies. Like Lincoln, Obama will take
