There is a lot of talk of the upcoming fiscal cliff that is looming if a budget deal is not reached by the end of the year between President Obama and Republicans in Congress. If this comes to pass some disastrous consequences will hit us:
So I say that it’s high time we start feeling the consequences of our actions. Abolishing the debt ceiling and giving the president a blank check to push us further into debt indefinitely is the equivalent to an alcoholic at the bar telling his bartender that the only way to get his tab paid up is

No budget, no debt reduction, no way to avoid the “fiscal cliff” that Congress created by not doing their job the last time around. Butt we have reached concurrence in both houses of Congress to remove the offensive word “lunatic” from federal law. Fortunately, they did NOT ban the use of the term “idiot” thereby leaving us with a useful and descriptive term to describe our legislators and their legislative efforts.(snip)So it is in their honor that I dedicate this weeks sing-along(snip)Brain Damage: Pink Floyd(snip)The lunatic is on the grass...

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie waited till the last possible day to act on this legislation but his announcement today is heartening. Here it is:
Continuing a careful and thoughtful approach that appropriately considers the best interests of the state’s residents and taxpayers, Governor Chris Christie today vetoed legislation that would have begun to establish a State-based health care exchange in New Jersey in line with the federal Affordable Care Act. Though December 14, 2012 is the deadline for states to decide whether to establish a State-based Exchange, the federal government has failed to provide

Judges hate when litigants hide things from them, especially bankruptcy judges. Judge Robert E. Gerber is a United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Southern District of New York. Gerber oversaw the GM managed bankruptcy (bailout) and is now hearing a lawsuit which may overturn a big part of the the deal. As you may remember, the bailout involved the liquidation of the "old" GM and the creation of a new one.
Now a lawsuit filed by a trust representing “old” GM’s unsecured creditors, is attacking a “lockup agreement” which sent hundreds of millions of dollars to a group of hedge

There is no room for debate. Students graduate as true believers. But what happens when the students discover that their teachers are hypocrites?

The Iranian military recently announced that its "scientists" had created a drone program that successfully built the first Iranian drone capable of vertical takeoff and landings. The Mullahs also released a photo to prove to the world that they had done so. But the photo of the "Iranian drone" came as a surprise to the folks at the Japanese university where the photo and the drone really came from.

Remember weeks and weeks of reports on how down-in-the-mouth the defeated John Kerry was when he lost the presidency to George Bush? Remember how the Old Media establishment obsessed about how badly Al Gore felt after he lost in 2000? Me either. But we sure keep getting stories about how downtrodden Mitt Romney feels after his epic loss.

Dear unbeliever,
I hope another letter so soon doesn´t offend you but some other thoughts occurred to me after I finished the letter last week. You remember that I asked, Where are the atheist soup kitchens, universities, or hospitals? I said that atheists don´t have a unifying principle that propels them to such good works.
I hope I was clear that I appreciate the good works that you do. But...

OBAMA: What we said was give us $1.2 trillion in additional revenues, which could be accomplished without hiking tax rates. It could simply be accomplished by eliminating loopholes, eliminating some deductions and engaging in a tax reform process that could lower rates generally while broadening the base.

I don’t think “the Nazis did it” is an adequate reason not to do something (They had a military, so we better not build a military!), but when you pull something out of the more troubling half of Hitler’s playbook, it should raise a few eyebrows.
