Here are, in my view, interesting, noteworthy columns and articles from the past week that I highly recommend:
“The only person who has ever likened President Obama to a dog is President Obama, who once declared that he was a ‘mutt’ and a member of a ‘mongrel people.’
In reality, there’s a reason nobody has compared Obama to a dog: dogs are likeable. They are friendly and loyal. They are man’s best friend, as opposed to King Abdullah’s best friend.”
“Various polls report that George W. Bush in some states is now better liked than President Obama. Even some liberal pundits call for Bush to weigh in on the Ground Zero mosque or the Arizona anti-immigration legislation.
Suddenly, Bush is missed. Why? Let me list 10 likely reasons.”
“Guess what could be coming to a paycheck near you?
Some of the largest tax increases in American history, by almost all objective analyses, unless Congress acts.
Federal tax hikes set to take effect in 2011 would hit virtually every working American, regardless of the level of household income.
Because of the protracted health care debate this past year, many citizens missed the words and actions – in some cases, inactions – of the Obama administration and Congress on taxes, so here’s a summary of the changes scheduled to take place next year.”
What Liberals Say vs. What They Mean
“Many of us have been raised to think that words mean things. Then there’s Democrats. From those infamous phrases like ‘It depends on what the definition of what ‘is’ is’ of yore to the newfangled ‘man-caused disasters’ of today, Democrats have so abused the English language as to make it completely unrecognizable to Mr. Johnson.
Here are a few words and phrases that liberals use all the time that are conundrums in as much as the words themselves actually say just the opposite of what liberals mean by them.”
Voter rolls. We see dead people. Does the DOJ?
“America’s voter rolls are a mess. But you can’t count on the Deparrtment of Social Justice and corruptocrat Attorney General Eric Holder to clean them up. It’s another job the feds won’t do. Time for ordinary citizens to step up to the plate. Thanks to a provision in federal law, you can pick up the slack.”
Smartest President in History Botches Oval Office Rug Quote
“The botched Oval Office rug becomes a precious symbol of the Obama presidency, based on an image fabricated out of symbols rather than substance and misappropriating valuable elements of America’s history. The only question remaining is whether or not President Obama will choose to keep the rug in his office.”
“In an effort to pass a ridiculous regulation and then declare a victory in the drug war, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is considering a rule that would require a physician’s prescription for your favorite off-the-shelf cough medicine.
Yes, I know; I can’t believe it either.”
Cities increasingly turning to ‘trash police’
“Beware the green police. They don’t carry guns and there’s no police academy to train them, but if you don’t recycle your trash properly, they can walk up your driveway and give you a $100 ticket.
They know what’s in your trash, they know what you eat, they know how often you bring your recycles to the curb — and they may be coming to your town soon. That is, if they’re not already there.”
