Articles: Early Obama Letter Confirms Inability to Write

Articles: Early Obama Letter Confirms Inability to Write

Law Review Editor?!!!!!!

Schools offering rewards to keep students in class

Schools offering rewards to keep students in class - Washington Times
To combat truancy, many school districts are offering iPods, laptops and even cars in exchange for perfect attendance.

This is about "the student count" and nothing else.
Our schools have become funnels for our money, run by imbeciles who come up these bribes.
What life lessons they impart....

Obama at a loss

JOHNSON: Obama at a loss - Washington Times
When stock prices were plunging earlier this month, President Obama strode to the teleprompter and utterly failed to calm the markets or the American people.
Sadly, they saw what I saw - and have come to exactly the same conclusion:
Mr. Obama does not know what to do.
He never did.

Ouch.
Big time.

CURL: Why so glum, Michelle?

CURL: Why so glum, Michelle? - Washington Times
About 2½ years into her ceremonial stint as first lady, Mrs. Obama seems to have had quite enough of the gig.
More to the point, she doesn’t seem to have ever warmed to the second-fiddle slot as other first ladies before her did.
And even more than that, she doesn’t seem all that happy with the man she married 19 years ago.

ExxonMobil Sues Gov't for Canceling Deepwater Well Worth ‘Billions of Barrels’ CNSnews.com: ExxonMobil, the world’s largest energy company, filed a lawsuit against the federal government for canceling an oil-drilling lease in the Gulf of Mexico that held “billions of barrels of oil,” according to the company.

Next time you hear someone complain about "big oil", think instead of BIG GOVERNMENT.
And the higher prices we all pay because of Obama's eco-religion.

Montgomery County proposes flash-mob law

Montgomery County proposes flash-mob law - Washington Times
Talk of such a bill was prompted by a recent mass theft at a Germantown 7-Eleven, where dozens of young people returning home from the Montgomery County Fair simultaneously entered the store and began brazenly stealing candy bars, chips and sodas, police said.

Ten years ago, could ANYONE in America have imagined we'd need a law like this?
It's the culture, stupid!

A Short Primer on the National Debt

John Steele Gordon: A Short Primer on the National Debt - WSJ.com
Many blame the Bush tax cuts for adversely impacting federal revenues, causing the debt to spiral upwards.
But that is just not true.
Federal revenues declined by almost 12% in the early years of the decade, but when the tax cuts fully kicked in in 2003, the economy began to grow strongly again and federal revenues increased 44% in the next four years, while unemployment fell to 4.2% from 6.2%.
Federal outlays in those four years increased by only 26.4%, and while the debt-to-GDP ratio increased to 64.8% by 2007, that was still well below what it had been in 1994.
