Yes, we’re back to the multi-parters – somewhere north of 350 feeds to choose from will do that…

- The Death of Newsweek, Part I – Ken found them cheering the fulfillment of Karl Marx’s prediction. As the song says, “Mamama, we’re all crazee now.”
- The Death of Newsweek, Part II – Jim Geraghty wonders why they’re cheering a 52% drop in single-copy circulation over 2 years.
- The Death of Newsweek, Part III – Tom Blumer answers that they’re just being honest about being liberal partisans.
- Lemur King compares and contrasts the presstitute coverage of the “talk-down” of 2000 to the “fear ‘n hope” of 2009.
- Dad29 on Gubmint Spending, Part I – he points out that federal government spending, without TARP, without the bailouts, and without the Generational Theft Act, increased by roughly 7.2% per year under President George W. Bush. Only in gubmint is a rate of growth double inflation considered “starving”.
- Dad29 on Gubmint Spending, Part II – he ran the numbers on Sen. Arlen “Scottish Law” Specter’s claim that it would cost “only” $195,000 per job saved and found that it’s 3.6 times the worth of the average job. Even if they were all UAW jobs, it would still be somewhere north of twice the worth of that job.
- How much are all those bailouts, Part I – Doug Mataconis found that the amount committed to the various bailouts would be almost enough to pay off every last home mortgage.
- How much are all those bailouts, Part II – John Walker found that liquidating all of the gold in the world at today’s prices wouldn’t even cover half the bill.
- How much are all those bailouts, Part III – Ace found that the bailouts are worth 2/3rds of everything the economy produced last year. Ahem – it’s closer to 3/4ths.
- Purple Avenger notes the beginning of health-care rationing in the Generational Theft Act. It’s no longer just the children they’re stealing from; it’s Grandma and Grandpa.
- Ed Morrissey can’t believe that The News Organization That Cannot Be Quoted™ isn’t buying the “no pork in this Generational Theft Act” line of Bravo Sierra.
- John Hawkins lists a few good reasons to kill the GTA (and no, I’m not talking about Grand Theft Auto).
- Is all this pork getting you hungry? Michelle Malkin found your dish – the Turbaconduckhen. I think it’s missing some pork sausage stuffing.
- Back to Michelle – she lists some of the things it’s not missing, like pork for golf carts, hybrids for federal employees, and Amtrak.
- Asian Badger hosts an economics mini-lecture. Today’s topic – hyperinflation.
- Dominic Rupprecht states that those who intentionally misrepresent history are doomed to repeat it. Can you say, “Lost Decade”?
- Bruce proves that the road to serfdom is paved with “good intentions” married to incompetent actions.
Part 2 will be up after I’m done with some tech support.
