• Jay Carney Snaps at Another Reporter, This Time from Fox: ‘If You Did a Little Reporting…’

  Clearly time for Carney to go. If I spoke to my colleagues, superiors, or direct reports like that, I’d be relieved of my duties. Without question, if I spoke to a client like that, I’d be fired immediately.

• These Dreadful Charts Really Put Today’s Jobs Numbers Into Perspective

  In reply to Budrow.

  Good point. If things were really improving as dramatically as the powers that be say they are, then why are we still paying records in unemployment benefits…when that gets cut off, I’ll start to believe what is now just a bunch of propaganda.

• Bill O’Reilly Absolutely Explodes on Lib Radio Host in Epic Showdown Over Spending Cuts: ‘You’re Lying!’

  @ Tony B.
  No offense Tony, but you’re wrong. Talking only about the stock market as an indicator of economic successes is silliness at best. The stock market can be manipulated PURELY by money supply…increase it when people don’t have anything else to do with the cash other than park it in the stock market can actually point to economic failures. Print money and shove it in to the stock market and see if the index goes up or down, all other things held constant. It’s a certainty that the index will rise. Printing money and shoving it into the stock market doesn’t actually make the companies representing the index WORTH more, but rather only COST more. It really isn’t a coincidence that the national debt is approaching double what it was when BHO took office and the index is double.

• Why Are Some Liberals Freaking Out Over What Happened at the Supreme Court on Wednesday? We Explain

  In reply to Locked.

  Discrimination occurs all the time. A progressive tax system is discriminatory against the payor in favor of the taker, esp. considering not all dollars collected are to benefit all equally. Example: Military benefits all equally, USDA and HUD do not benefit all equally. Why isn’t a discrimination suit brought to bear in favor of those who pay taxes?

  “NO REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION!”

• See Video of the Wild Chicago Mall Brawl That Led to 19 Arrests: ‘Anything They Found…They Started Throwing’

  In reply to truemedia.

  This may or may not be relevant, but can anyone tell me what movie this quote is from?

  “As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest, reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.”

• Rand Paul Writes Giant Check to U.S. Treasury

  @ The_Jerk, Johnny
  I knew as I was writing my previous comment that it was completely naive, but with very little to be optimistic about when it comes to our govt., we sometimes have to manufacture scenarios to which we can apply logic.

• Rand Paul Writes Giant Check to U.S. Treasury

  In reply to aynrandfan.

  If the Federal Govt. would balance the budget and sustain with an amendment (without raising taxes and assuming states didn’t raise taxes to make up the shortfall), I would write an extra check of 10% directly to pay down the debt…every year. I’m not rich and it wouldn’t even be a rounding error, but if they showed an ounce of discipline in this regard, I’d write that check happily and not try to force others to do the same. My guess is that many others would be willing to do the same.

• Dispute Over Line at Food Stamp Office Turns Into an All-Out Brawl

  January 24, 2013 at 12:36pm

  In reply to FastJimmy3.

  Fast, this scenario will never happen. When the money runs out, the govt. will confiscate the farms, feed yards, etc., and ration. Our downhill slide has too much momentum to reverse. I hope I’m wrong.
