"The July sales numbers are out and the Chevy Volt continues to electrify (get it?) the country.
GM sold … 125 Volts last month!"
Does that mean we taxpayers saved 10,000 x $7,500 rebates?

"Educators in Muskegon and Ottawa counties have been awarded a $725,000 federal grant to continue their efforts to enhance lessons on American history"
I'm thinking the kids would just a soon have the money instead of the liberal propaganda.

"You can see The Narrative at work as I write this.
The same MSM that assured us that when it came to Barack Obama, the church he attended for two decades didn’t matter, is now obsessing over a church Rep. Michele Bachman’s hasn’t attended in over a year.
Here you have two separate (and wildly hypocritical) narratives at work: one meant to protect a Democratic presidential candidate, the other meant to damage a GOP presidential candidate."

"'What we wanted today was just to get the truth out,' he said.
The country, Amos said, had a basic choice: field 11 or 22 carriers.
Take away the F-35B and America would be left with half as many carriers because the Harrier jump jet is closing in on the end of its operational life.
If it is retired and there aren't any F-35Bs, then the Marines would be left with their smaller deck carriers and virtually nothing to put on them that could do what the Marines recently did in Libya.
They led the way in striking Muammar Qaddafi, without a single big-deck Navy carrier in sight."

The Comforting Life of Ideological Fanatics
The Comforting Life of Ideological Fanatics « Commentary Magazine
"Translation: Barack Obama, the most liberal president in generations, hasn’t been liberal enough.
His problem hasn’t been profligacy but frugality.
During the last two-and-a-half years, as $3.7 trillion has been added to our national debt, it turns out Obama has spent too little.
Despite his efforts to slander and misrepresent the proposals of his opponents, Obama turns out to be too civil, too accommodating, too darn decent.
And the man Democrats considered their Great Communicator just three years ago is suffering from a “communications problem,” unable to educate the public to the wisdom of post-Herbert Hoover economics."
