The (Non) Recession Of 2008

All the talk is about a recession. The problem is the actual data doesn't show one.

Why Rolling Stone Has No Credibility

Rolling Stone magazine has been around for over four decades and it covers political issues as well as rock music - and has long been known for its in-your-face and contrary-to-the-truth leftism. As such it has always been a magazine impossible for readers wanting some level of objectivity to take seriously - it is always wrong on all the issues. The magazine's vendetta against Republicans in general has always been vindictive and thuggish, and it reaches a new low with Tim Dickinson's assembly of lies on McCain that relies heavily on incorrect sources and utter ignorance of the real world.

It is just another reason why Rolling Stone has no credibility. Other magazines at least try to tell the truth - Rolling Stone lies.

Debunking Continuing Deregulation Myths

Two pieces take on continuing myths about deregulation - This one pertains to the repeal of Glass-Steagall while a 2004 SEC change is attacked by Barack Obama but which was not deregulation.

Will SNL Retract Its Own Sarah Smears, Too?

Check this note on refutation of a CNN smear of Sarah Palin.

It's Conservatism's Fault?

The MSM's theme of recent is that recent troubles are the fault of conservatism. But the problem with the premise is it's wrong.

Democratic Chutzpah Part Deux

First, this repost from September 30:

The House vote on the $700 billion bailout has seen the usual chutzpah by Democrats, such as this admission by a prominent leftist to wanting economic disaster just to score political points. There is also the windfall the idiots named Pelosi, Frank, and Dodd are trying to reap here.

Amid all the talk about economic crisis, some sobering data comes to light about just how well off the country is - in the process illustrating just how over-the-top the rhetoric about the mortgage crisis is.


POSTSCRIPT - The repost is necessary to lead into this examination of the Democratic Congress' manipulation of the market (note in particular the role of Senator Chuck Schumer) in fostering the present economic trouble.

Also worth noting is that amid economic panic, there is improvement beginning to arrive.

Terrorist On The Way Up

The Man On The Way Up has a growing problem - his alliance over the years with terrorist William Ayers, an alliance McCain is attacking with apparantly growing success.

Letting Markets Solve The Credit Crisis

Worth reading is this examination of how markets are better suited to solve the credit "crisis" than government.

Also worth reading is this roundup of research during the recent month of panic in Congress and on Wall Street.

McCain On The Attack

Given the whiny responses of Man On The Way Up Obama to previous attacks, John McCain's renewed offensive can work. First McCain notes Obama's lack of answers to tough questions, then notes The Man On The Way Up's role in the Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae fiascos. McCain's camp also goes after falsification of his health care plan (Selish note: Man On The Way Up's ads attacking McCain's health care proposals kept getting in the way of MRN Radio's Talladega coverage, making me hate Obama even more).

Also worth noting is the McCain camp's response to Obama attacks on McCain's role with "the Keating Five."

Blarney Frank's Comeuppance

He's been among the most sanctimonious and thin-skinned bullies in House history, one who managed to get away with being a pimp for homosexual prostitutes as well as for violating at least one Congressional page, and his every speech betrays a level of arrogance and condescension that is inhuman even by the low standards of leftism. In the wake of the Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae fiasco, Barney Frank has been on the counterattack as is his wont. But this dissection of Frank's role in Freddie and Fannie debunks his stock attack answers.

Look Who's Attacking Man On The Way Up

And in the process he's making McCain & Palin's points for us.
