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 [...]

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 [...]

The Health Care Albatross and some advice for the Dems

albatross-l-stare

Old Nancy seems to be limping her way ever closer to her goal of 216.  She swears she’s got the votes to get this done, and probably by tomorrow afternoon, barring some other delay, we’ll know whether it’s still safe to get sick in this country or not. 

But with them so close to their goal, we [...]

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 [...]

Ray Stevens doesn't seem to like ObamaCare

From YouTube. 

It looks like it was posted back in the early part of December, but I’m just seeing this now, thanks to an email and link to the Ace of Spades Over Night Thread. 

Here we’ve got Ray Stevens in various attire getting his dander up about suffocating old people thanks to our soon-to-be new health [...]

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 [...]

2009: The year the wheels came off GLOBAL WARMING

Wheels coming off

A lot of bad things happened in 2009.  We got Obama.  The economy took a nose-dive.  The best health care system on earth is being obliterated.  The Bears missed the playoffs… again.

But if there’s one good nugget you can take from such a miserable year, it’s that finally, after decades of being the biggest naked [...]

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 [...]

I’ll take unemployed freshman senators for $500, Alex

Kool-AidMan

 

In an interesting clip from YouTube, via Hot Air, freshman senator Michael Bennet tells his constituents where they can shove it with one easy word. 

“Yes.”

So, Jeopardy-style, what’s the question for this answer?

“If every piece of evidence tells you if you support that bill, you will lose your job… would you cast the vote and lose your [...]

More stuff from Pence and Fox News Sunday

I’m going to add a little more from what Congressman Mike Pence had to say on Fox News Sunday, but I think it’s worth a separate post, as it goes off in a slightly different direction from our last entry on the health care vote. 

While Pence was telling the Dems to “stop digging,” he made [...]
