In a Socialist milieu

Wonderful news  from OZ, yes that neat place in Maryland, where all laws are suspended except the one on Gravity.

Forecast for the Dynamic Duo of Shummy & Shap

Warning over US cash-for-clunkers scheme

FLOTUS will now pick the arugula

Here’s the letter the Commander of the American [...]

Vermont, you’ve been punked!

It’s not even 100 days; all this has transpired.
What’s next?
At a moment in time, David Brooks wrote that “Barack Obama is not who we thought he was” based on Obama’s über-liberal economic policies. It lasted about a day, and several phones calls from the White House, before Brooks backtracked and turned his column into a [...]

That didn’t go over well on his maiden trip to Europe, the G-20 and with Sarkozy, no Turkey in the EU (Immigration). Who prepped this guy on the realpolitik. Give him the Bozo wig!
