Record! 1.5 Million ‘Pink Slips’ To Congress In 6 Days
Now, the “Send Congress a Pink Slip” campaign is being called an “unprecedented success” and a historic grass-roots lobbying effort.

So far, after just six days, 1.5 million “pink slips” – individually addressed notices to each member of the House and Senate, complete with sender’s name and return address ...

And it's up to "we the people," to back those pink slips too.

Obama Stimulus: 32 Weeks of Record Job Losses
The $787 Billion Obama Stimulus, AKA Recovery Act, was enacted in February, in an atmosphere of urgency and panic, by Congressmen and Senators who did not read it. President Obama’s promise was an immediate halt in job losses and resumption in job creation.

No magic stimulus jobs ... How about some bongwater?

Market Higher, on No News and Maybe a Large Gulp of Bongwater
Hell if I know. Maybe we should demand that the SEC, Fed, Treasury and the FDIC regulate portfolio manager compensation. Or better still - nationalize mutual funds, and pass a law that they shall rise by 3% more than inflation every year. The Chinese will love it.

Consumer Reports' Massive Fail
By staying out of politics, and not seeming to have a dog in any fight other than providing accurate information, Consumer Reports and its parent company have earned an almost unprecedented reputation.

No more. As reported by Politico, Consumers Union is putting its brand behind current health care reform proposals (it's not clear which ones), including a government run plan. An advertisement being run by Consumers Union is completely vague, only calling for "health care reform."

Consumers Reports has turned into a State Organ too, pushing Obama's "health care reform." Pathetic. Does anyone have a backbone anymore?

Memo to David Frum, re: Sarah Palin
Date: 30 September 2009
To: David Frum
From: Doug Ross
Re: The New Majority

David Frum. Way over-rated.

Going Rogue with Sarah Palin
It looks like Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska has not diminished her stature in spite of constant criticism from progressives and pundits on both sides of the political aisle. The jury is still out on whether she is a viable presidential candidate for 2012. One point in her favor; Chris Matthews recently asked a Hardball if she was the conservative poster girl for racism, thereby beginning the meme you are going to hear a lot about whoever ultimately runs against Obama.

Ooohhh, Palin just isn't going away ... Why are we still listening to the same, tired old pundits?

Empire State Building Celebrates the ChiComs???
Whaaaaaaat??? We’re going to have the ChiComs do a light display honoring the 60 years of oppression, murder, and starvation caused by their regime?

First it was Ramadan, now it's the communists.
