uppity Michelle Obama NASCAR The Daily Caller
“Bottom line: We don’t like being told what to eat,” Limbaugh said.
“We don’t like being told how much to exercise.
We don’t like being told what we’ve got to drive.
We don’t like wasting money.
We don’t like our economy being bankrupted.
We don’t like 14 percent unemployment.
The question is, what is there to cheer for when Ms. Obama and Ms. Biden show up?”

European Debt Crisis Threatens U.S. Money Market Funds
European Debt Crisis Threatens U.S. Money Market Funds
"We've done a lot to prepare the banking sector," Jeffrey Lacker, president of the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank, said on Wednesday.
"I'm less confident about the money market funds and their ability to weather major problems at European institutions."
........Many investors believe money funds are as safe as lower-yielding bank accounts even though it is common knowledge that that they are not backed by the federal insurance that protects bank deposits.
Less well known, and of concern to U.S. officials, is that the money funds cannot count on the protection measures that were pulled together to help them in 2008.

The claim that John Kerry has no incentive to transfer information for stock profit also doesn’t make sense.
Who cares if he is already rich?
Martha Stewart was worth more than $1 billion when she was charged with it.
Research indicates that insider trading is usually not about the money, but a sense of entitlement.
3. The claim by Jenkins and Scott here that this information is not all that valuable anyway also flies in the face of reality.
Hedge funds that are politically connected perform dramatically better than those that aren’t.
And hedge funds are paying lobbyists huge sums of money to tell them what bills will pass and when so they can execute trades on that information.

BORN in a Prison Camp, Mr. Shin Thought North Korea's Torture was "Normal"
BORN in a Prison Camp, Mr. Shin Thought North Korea's Torture was "Normal" Red County
Watching his mother and brother executed for trying to escape, Shin told us he "didn't shed a tear," thinking this barbaric black hole was "normal." He even justified his punishment --burnings and whippings-- for their actions.
When prison guards cut-off his finger tip for accidently damaging a sewing machine, he was grateful his punishment wasn't worse.
Mr. Shin took the initiative to escape mainly because he had to --he was starving.
Once in South Korea, he was surprised the world had color.

Why is the administration making a decision to exclude an American manufacturer in favor of a maker with such a history?
This is the Obama administration’s second billion-dollar giveaway to the Brazilian government in 2011; the first was its outrageous offshore oil loan guarantee decision in March.
The two decisions siphon more than $2 billion and more than 21,000 jobs out of the US economy

Good people make bad people uncomfortable.
Their example nudges everyone to undertake the hard work to be better.
Our faults are so much easier to tolerate when we stand next to Jerry Sandusky.

Why Yankee Doodle called it “macaroni”
The Volokh Conspiracy » Why Yankee Doodle called it “macaroni”
The question has bothered me for decades.
We sang “Yankee Doodle” plenty of times at school, but nobody seemed to wonder why he would say that “a feather in his cap” was “macaroni.”
