Did Obama do anything at this last conference besides ogle the scenery?

One ogle at a time.I'm actually ok with this. This is just funny.Obama's full of bad policy but it's good to know he appreciates French fashion just as much as any other guy.

"... In a government system, the decisions are the bureaucrats', and that's that. My father is currently ill, and the health "system" is doing its best to ensure it's fatal. When an ambulance has to be called, they take him to a different hospital according to the determinations of the bed-availability bureaucrats and which facility hasn't had to be quarantined for an infection outbreak.

Since my salute to Ed McMahon post last week, three more well-known celebrities have passed away: Farrah Fawcett, Micheal Jackson and Billy Mays.That's a really crummy week from a pop-culture standpoint.T&P for their families.

Rob at Say Anything:This actually illustrates a rather broad concept among liberals. The idea that nothing can be allowed to fail. Unions don’t let companies, or public schools, fire bad workers. Or they make it prohibitively difficult to do so. Nationally, Obama and his liberals haven’t been willing to let unionized companies like GM and Chrysler fail so that they can be replaced by

This one has been out for a little while so this is probably old news to most of you and not that helpful. However, I'm going to post it regardless of your feelings so get a helmet and shut your trap.It was definitely a girlie movie or "chick flick" and not something I would suggest a single guy rent on his own. However, my wife thoroughly enjoyed it and it really was not that bad. Many parts

It's like one of my worst nightmares realized...Nestle USA says its baking unit has voluntarily recalled Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products after a number or illnesses were reported by those who ate the dough raw.Probably a problem inherited from Bush somehow...

... but the gist of the story is here ....... First the population in America was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education based on pop culture rather than the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in D.C. that directly affects their lives. True. They care more for their right to check down a McDonald's burger or a Burger King burger than

"We told them this is not really a religious assembly — this is just a bible study with friends.

... Too often in the United States, Democrats reject cuts in taxes and spending because they consider them Republican causes. Yet in Canada, center-left governments implemented many of the reforms that made these impressive numbers possible. Perhaps we have something to learn from those "socialists" to the north.I'll say.

President Barack Obama succeeded, after pressure from Canada and other U.S. trading partners, in persuading Congress to insert language into the stimulus legislation requiring that Buy American provisions respect America's international trade obligations under NAFTA and the World Trade Organization's government-procurement agreement.Since those trade deals don't extend to state and local
