FARK thread here.
And at this point, I’m gonna give it to Mr. Blather 2008-10-04 01:28:59 AM. Maybe someone will come up with a better one, but at this point that takes the prize.

America is a glutton for punishment. We insist on ignoring the lessons of history and are doomed to repeat it. The thing that disturbs me the most about the massive bailout/rescue bill is the idea that the government can be relied upon in any capacity to ensure your well-being, when in reality the only thing [...]

Update: I fricken knew it. I bet this was planned all along. I should have known that when the legislation bloated from 3 pages to 451 pages that this would be another opportunity for the Senate to reward special interests and bog it down with pork.
Q: If the need for the bailout is so dire [...]

According to the Politico Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) received 91,000 phone calls about the bailout, with 85,000 callers telling her to vote no. Feinstein said she’s voting ‘Yea’ for the bailout anyway.
True to her form, Feinstein joined 73 of her colleagues in giving American taxpayers the middle finger as they snuck in a bunch of [...]

Warner Todd Huston at Newsbusters is reporting that the family of slain soldier Ryan Jopek had asked Barack Obama not to wear his son’s bracelet or to turn their son’s death into a campaign issue. Instead Barack Obama did just the opposite where Obama actually seemed to forget Ryan Jopek’s name in a tit-for-tat “I [...]

In the “I wish I’d said that” department is this truly excellent post from Power Line, pointing out that this crisis (a) establishes that McCain, not Obama, is a leader and (b) that the Democrats cannot possibly be telling the truth when they try to blame McCain for the House’s inability to reach an agreement.

The Chosen One has made a huge deal out of his supposed expertise as a community organizer. It was all about doing good, you see…and apparently Obama and a few of his political allies did pretty well out of it.
Here’s how one of these sleazy transactions went down:
A $100,000 state grant for a botanic garden [...]

You’ve got to love an economics video that uses ABBA for its background music. You’ve also got to love an economics video that uses very simple language to show that Obama has been a very good friend to Fannie and Freddie, and they’ve loved him back, to the profound detriment of the American people:

Al Gore is calling on young people to engage in “civil disobedience” as necessary to stop the legal construction of coal plants. This is just a reminder of how little space exists between what is considered mainstream liberals and that of the radical left.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al [...]

Ah yes…another ’success’ by possibly our worst secretary of state ever. North Korea has trashed its agreement with the US, kicked out the UN’s IAEA inspectors and revved up the centrifuges at its Yongbyon nuclear facility:
In a highly provocative snub to Washington, Beijing and Seoul, North Korea has broken the United Nations seals that had [...]
