American Thinker Blog: Paul McCartney plays the Fool on the Hill

American Thinker Blog: Paul McCartney plays the Fool on the Hill:

So Sir Paul thinks it is great that 'after the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows what a library is.'

Perhaps Sir Paul is not aware that President Bush and Karl Rove used to engage in annual contests to see who could read the most books. In fact, sometime in 2008, I recall Karl Rove telling the world in his column that President Bush had read 95 books in 2006 and 51 books in 2007. I wrote those numbers down at the time because I was quite impressed and embarrassed because I could only muster perhaps 5 books a year due to my 'busy' schedule."

Krauthammer: Those troublesome Jews:

The world is outraged at Israel's blockade of Gaza. Turkey denounces its illegality, inhumanity, barbarity, etc. The usual U.N. suspects, Third World and European, join in. The Obama administration dithers"

Makes absolute sense....when you are trying to inflate job numbers for Obama.....it"s not his money...what does he or his administration care?

CNSNews.com - Inspector General’s Memo: Census Says It Hired More Workers Than It Needed As a ‘Cost-Saving Measure’:

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Census purposefully hired more workers than it needed, telling the Office of the Inspector General of the Commerce Department that it did so as a “cost-saving measure,” according to a memorandum that Todd J.

Obama not above political manipulation after all - Yahoo! News:

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama, being from Chicago, knows there are two basic ways to play foul in politics.

One is to break the law.

The other is to keep it legal, if shadily close to the line. It may not stink to high heaven, but it smells a little."

Soaring costs force Canada to reassess health model - Yahoo! News

Huuummmmm....are you listening Washington????

Soaring costs force Canada to reassess health model - Yahoo! News:

TORONTO (Reuters) – Pressured by an aging population and the need to rein in budget deficits, Canada's provinces are taking tough measures to curb healthcare costs, a trend that could erode the principles of the popular state-funded system.

Ontario, Canada's most populous province, kicked off a fierce battle with drug companies and pharmacies when it said earlier this year it would halve generic drug prices and eliminate 'incentive fees' to generic drug manufacturers."

Amen..........

Morris: Obama doesn’t have a clue - TheHill.com:

Conservatives are so enraged at Obama’s socialism and radicalism that they are increasingly surprised to learn that he is incompetent as well. The sight of his blithering and blustering while the most massive oil spill in history moves closer to America’s beaches not only reminds one of Bush’s terrible performance during Katrina, but calls to mind Jimmy Carter’s incompetence in the face of the hostage crisis."
