2009-07-14T13:26:00.000-07:00

I like Camille Paglia

2009-07-08T09:52:00.000-07:00

Always have. Have not always agreed but she is one of the few on the left that I believe is honest in debate. Here is her latest. The vicious double standard is pretty obvious. Only the tabloids,...

2009-07-06T11:07:00.000-07:00

Check out this graph. Note where unemployment "is" and where team Obama and their Obamanomics predicted it would be. Great. Here is the post from the folks at "Innocent Bystanders" that goes...
