…is science fiction. The people who write these things know nothing about economics, and when making decisions like this, that’s at least as important as the science.

The Obama Recession
…may show up just in time for the election.
Really, if he wanted to create a recession, what would he have done differently?
[Update a while later]
The coming recession.
I do think that it can be staved off, or at least mitigated, if the Republicans take over both branches next year, just by suspending all of the job-killing regulations, including ObamaCare.
Just Like Every Other Parole Violator
He’s going to be held in solitary:
“He’s going to be confined in a special unit where he’d be in a solitary cell, locked up alone and in maddening isolation,” said attorney Mark Werksman, who is not representing Nakoula but has represented other inmates held at the same jail.
A spokeswoman for the Marshals Service, which is responsible for Nakoula, said the agency’s policy is to not discuss inmate security measures.
Larry Jay Levine, a former federal convict once held at Metropolitan and founder and director of Wall Street Prison Consultants, said Nakoula was likely held in an area called the special housing unit and that he would be kept safe there.
“It’s basically a ‘ground hog day’ kind of existence, because he’s not getting out of his cell,” Levine said.
But this has nothing to do with making a movie. Nothing to see here, folks.
Bribing Contractors With Our Money
…to violate the law. These people are just shameless.
[Update a couple minutes later]
“So, the government is going to provide the funds to pay the fines they impose on the contractors for non-compliance with regulations written by the government.
You couldn’t make this stuff up.”
Nope.
Mom, I Need Birth Control
This must be a note from “Julia.”
Benghazi
Worse than Watergate. Actually, Bill Clinton’s felonies were, too. But nothing can ever be worse than Watergate to the press when a Democrat is involved.
A Bridge To The Future?
No, a bridge back to 1933.
It’s a never ending source of hilarity and irony that these people fashion themselves to be “progressive.”
The Post-Debate Media Spin
Why wait until next Thursday, when you can get it right now?
Communism On Parade
The indoctrination of our children continues.
It should be at least as shameful to declare oneself a Marxist as it is to declare oneself a Nazi. But they’ve taken over the educational system.
Jay Leno
Who know he was such a racist?
When you’ve lost Jay Leno, what does it mean?

Between this and SNL, I’m wondering if it means that the suits at NBC have decided it’s OK to go after the White House? [Googling…]
OK, though GE is no longer a majority shareholder, I wonder if this has something to do with it?
But let’s assume the rumors are true. What reason would Immelt have for abandoning the Obama campaign?
“Back when he agreed to advise the Obama administration on economics, General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt told friends that he thought it would be good for GE and good for the country,” Gasparino writes in the New York Post. “A life-long Republican, Immelt said he believed he could at the very least moderate the president’s distinctly anti-business instincts.”
And although GE has greatly benefitted from its relationship with the U.S. government, gorging itself at the federal subsidies trough, Immelt is apparently dismayed that he can’t “fix” the president’s anti-business stance.
“…Immelt doesn’t think he’s had…much luck moderating the president’s fat-cat-bashing, left-leaning economic agenda of taxing businesses and entrepreneurs to pay for government bloat,” Gasparino writes.
To put it simply, Immelt has allegedly given up on the idea that he can move the left-leaning president towards the center, according to Immelt’s friends.
“The GE CEO, I’m told, is appalled by everything from the president’s class-warfare rhetoric to his continued belief that big government is the key to economic salvation,” Gasparino reports.
Another rube who’s caught on.
And Comcast may not care.
