Over at NRO, Rich Lowry has a great article on the myth of green jobs. He explains that last year’s porkulus bill included $5 billion for weatherizing homes. President Obama claimed that it would create 87,000 jobs “right away.” But you know what they say about the best made plans of mice, men, and, in [...]

This a great video that explains my point from yesterday visually: And here is a written explanation.

This is courtesy of Redstate: This chart was originally put out by the Obama administration back in February when the porkulus bill was being debated. It supposedly showed the projected unemployment rate with and without passage of the porkulus. The red dots, however, are the actual unemployment rate as it has been recorded in March, [...]

Once upon a time, Chris Matthews was one of my favorite liberals because he was, at the very least, intellectually honest. For example, he was one of the only ones to be critical of Bill Clinton during the impeachment proceedings. Of course, he has long since given up on that kind of independence—maybe because of that [...]

Today, President Obama unveiled a new logo, seen above, that will be used to identify projects paid for by the porkulus bill. Okay. Whatever. But look at the logo for a minute. See any problems? Well, first off, it is obviously an “O” shape and reminiscent of Obama’s campaign logos. That should probably bother me, but at [...]

In his 1996 State of the Union address, President Clinton famously declared that “the era of big government is over.” Last night, in his first address to Congress (not technically a State of the Union, but close enough for government work), President Obama made it clear that the rumors of Big Government’s death have been [...]

Namasté is a Sanskrit greeting popular on the Indian subcontinent. It literally means “I bow to you,” but has been given numerous other translations, such as “the light in me honors the light in you.” The word has had two recent and notable appearances in American popular culture—neither particularly flattering. On the television series Lost, namasté is [...]

We all knew it was coming, but today President Obama signed the porkulus bill into law. I completely and totally disagree with this decision for the following reasons: 1. Keynesianism doesn’t work. If a government could magically produce money out of nowhere and then quickly and efficiently pump it back into the economy, then Keynesian [...]

This should come as no surprise. Yesterday, President Obama claimed that the CEO of Caterpillar had promised to rescind some of the 22,000 layoffs the company announced last month if the porkulus bill is passed. He repeated the same claim today. The problem is, it’s a lie. Jake Tapper of ABC reports that the CEO was asked [...]

The Associated Press–that’s right, the Associated Press–has a remarkable “Fact Check” piece criticizing President Obama for trying to have it both ways on the pork in the porkulus bill. Yesterday, he was in Indiana trying to sell the porkulus bill and claimed that: “[T]his bill does not have a single earmark in it, which is unprecedented for [...]
