by

A matter of '''neighborliness.'' That's how Democratic presidential aspirant Barack Obama justified raising taxes. Obama compared the circumstances of a person who is ''sitting pretty'' with that of a waitress. The waitress struggles, said Obama, while the rich can, and should, pay more. Nothing more, really, than a standard soak-the-rich plan, redistributing the wealth from the haves to the have-nots. But does Obama practice his own ''neighborliness''? More>>>

One rap on Sarah Palin's qualifications to be Vice President is that she governs one of our least populated states, with a budget of "only" $12 billion and 16,000 full-time state employees. On the other hand, it turns out that the Governor's office in Alaska is one of the country's most powerful. Only four other states -- Maryland, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia -- concentrate as much power in the Governor's office as Alaska does, and only one state (Massachusetts) concentrates more.

Obama did show some courage and composure dealing with O'Reilly. He handled himself answering questions from a fellow who can be very aggressive to say the least. All four parts are posted here at The Saloon and well worth watching.- Riley

Obama said to him the expression "lipstick on a pig" in this case applies to having a bad idea and trying to pass it off as change. "Just calling [ideas] change, calling them different doesn't make it better, hence lipstick on a pig," Obama said. He then clarified his statements even more. "Keep in mind, technically, had I meant it this way, [Palin] would be the lipstick. The failed policies of John McCain would be the pig..." More>>>

Wall Street Journal Editorial Page Editor Paul Gigot put the blame firmly on the liberal establishment in a July 23, 2008 op-ed. “Fan and Fred also couldn't prosper for as long as they have without the support of the political left... This includes Mr. [Rep. Barney] Frank and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) on Capitol Hill, as well as Mr.[Paul] Krugman and the Washington Post's Steven Pearlstein in the press.” It’s more than that. Enron fit the media theme that business is bad – especially if it has connections to Republicans. But when a far worse atrocity occurs and Democratic fingerprints are all over it, along with government, then that couldn’t be news. More>>>
