Greece: Liberalism in an awesome little microcosm

Greece continues their meltdown.

Here’s the summary:

“OMG we’re brokage!”

“OMG there’s gonna be cuts!”

“OMG OMG don’t cut my stuff, dammit!”

And there you have it.

From Bloomberg:

Greece’s GDP will decline 4 percent this year and 2.6 percent next year, according to the Finance Ministry.

European Union Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said yesterday that the austerity measures Greece agreed [...]

9.7% unemployment good news? Must be a Democrat in office!

From the Hot Air link, we read that columnist Tommy Christopher sees that March jobs reports, which has unemployment holding at 9.7%, is super-duper good!

The headline:

March Jobs Report Good News for America, Bad News for GOP

All right!

Nothing like being a hair under double-digit unemployment to get those happy shivers going down your spine.

White House Press [...]

The world's smallest violin for Representative Hank Johnson

I’m hearing from different sources this morning that picking on Congressman Hank Johnson’s obvious confusion while speaking with Admiral Willard about relocating Navy personnel to Guam was a mean-spirited, heartless, insensitive, and downright, well… conservative thing to do.

He’s sick, don’t you know.

Rep. Hank Johnson is the Atlanta Democrat who defeated and replaced the execrable Cynthia [...]

Brooks: Obama can't get anything done, so he's a moderate, or something

David Brooks swings so wildly back-and-forth in some of his opinion pieces, I’m surprised his glasses haven’t flown off.  One moment, the liberal commenters on his NYT posts call him a crazed right-winger, and the next moment republican commenters are saying he’s a radical leftist media-type.  I guess to be a moderate, which Brooks is [...]

True Grit remake. Oh god, no.

True-Grit

It’s coming. 

The Coen brothers have apparently decided to move on from the mostly incomprehensible Cormac McCarthy to American icons. 

I’ve heard about this for a while, but I’m just now starting to hear some names trickle out, and it’s got me in a cold sweat. 

Jeff Bridges as Rooster.  Yes, that’s right.  The Dude with an eyepatch [...]

The slow unraveling of Big Science

scientist_430

In one of our recent posts this year, we mentioned that one of the biggest–and best–things to come out of 2009 has been the absolute *ahem*meltdown of GLOBAL WARMING.  With the ClimateGate scandal, cooler temperatures, more moderate weather conditions, public opinion eroding, 2009 has been a disaster for leftists trying to hide their socialist agenda [...]

Give us your tired, your poor, your HIV infected....

statue_liberty6

This has been discussed for quite a while, and it has of course been controversial ever since its implementation, but thank goodness we’ve finally gotten around to lifting the ban on HIV infected tourists. 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention together announced the [...]

Obama frets about Yemen’s economy during radio address

In his weekly radio address, Obama talked about the Christmas Day terrorist attempt aboard Northwest Flight 253. 

An al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen apparently ordered the Christmas Day plot against a U.S. airliner, training and arming the 23-year-old Nigerian man accused in the failed bombing, President Barack Obama said Saturday.

In the address, the [...]

The Gitmo shell-game continues

We dropped a few on Palau. 

Shipped some to New York. 

How about if you flatlanders in Illinois get ready for your share now, too? 

The Land of Lincoln may still be licking its wounds–and certain real estate transactions–over Chicago’s losing the Olympics to Rio, but the Obama Administration has delivered up a small consolation prize: the state’s [...]

The absolute scariest thing I've seen in a very long time...

nuke01

You’ve gotta’ hand it to the libs…  they play hardball.  When they step out on to the field, it’s no-nonsense, winner-take-all.  They don’t sweat things like your freedom, or the democratic process that’s served us well for the past, oh, two hundred or so years.  At least not if any of these things are between [...]
