You know medical care in your country really must stink…

When the head of state flees to Cuba for treatment. Hugo Chavez on the rocks, socialists everywhere fear-fraught.

“Now, worse, his political organization is colluding with special-interest allies across the country to demagogue reform-minded governors who are making the tough choices”

Our President is acting against a Governor. This shouldn’t be a surprise. But I’ll be damned if I’m not in awe of the bastard. That’s John Boehner speaking of the collusion Obama’s minions are doing in Wisconsin at the President’s behest. Am I dreaming? This is insanity. Via Hot Air, Boehner’s remarks: “The President of [...]

Did Paul Krugman write this (drunk with China-love after the party last night)?

He could have.  From TIME magazine: One of the great ironies revealed by the global recession that began in 2008 is that Communist Party-ruled China may be doing a better job managing capitalism’s crisis than the democratically elected U.S. government. Beijing’s stimulus spending was larger, infinitely more effective at overcoming the slowdown, and directed at [...]

While Liu Xiaobo sits in a prison cell, Obama fetes Hu with lobster and steak.

In case you’ve forgotten, Xiaobo received the Nobel Peace Prize* last fall.   Unlike the previous winner, since he sits in a Chinese prison, he was unable to claim the prize.  Via wikipedia, a choice Xiaobo quote: Modernization means whole-sale westernization, choosing a human life is choosing Western way of life. Difference between Western and Chinese [...]

Multiple Michelle ice cream cracks, Black Panthers, and ol’ Fidel: it’s Monday laundry!

Good thing the Michelle hasn’t taken away his ice cream (yet): Poll: Rocky road seen ahead for Obama. Only 38 percent of respondents said Obama deserves to be reelected, even though a majority of voters hold a favorable view of him on a personal level. Forty-four percent said they will vote to oust him, and [...]

Castro on the Cuban model: Eh, not so much (SHHH, don’t tell Obama!)

Dude.  From Jeffery Goldberg: I asked him if he believed the Cuban model was still something worth exporting. “The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore,” he said. This struck me as the mother of all Emily Litella moments. Did the leader of the Revolution just say, in essence, “Never mind”? I asked Julia [...]

“How Obama can avoid Neville Chamberlin’s fate”

Wishful thinking, perhaps, but more people are waking up to read the tea leaves.  H/T: Mark Tapscott @ Washington Examiner

60

Days, that is. Unbelievable pictures here, h/t Instapundit. Meanwhile, Dear Leader kicks ass on the golf course for five hours.  Of course, yachting is out.  Michael Barone: Obama’s thuggery useless in fighting spill.  He writes: Then there is Obama’s decision to impose a six-month moratorium on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf. This penalizes companies with [...]

“We con the world, we con the people.” UPDATED

Steel yourself.  This is incredibly funny.  I only wish the Israeli government didn’t apologize for sending the press a link to the video.  H/T: pjHusband Youtube has pulled the viral video, citing copyright concerns when none exist.  Go watch at Hot Air: Ed Morrissey uploaded the video to his eyeblast account and posted an explanation of [...]

Of Punji sticks, flotillas of cash, and warning labels

From the UK Sun:  Taliban fighters are burying dirty needles with their bombs in a bid to infect British troops with HIV, The Sun can reveal. Hypodermic syringes are hidden below the surface pointing upwards to prick bomb squad experts as they hunt for devices. The heroin needles are feared to be contaminated with hepatitis [...]
