“Thank You, Ann Barnhardt”
How many will join her?
Not that many, probably. They need to earn a living, even if it’s ethically compromised.
The Brain-Dead Left
Thoughts on their intellectual exhaustion and maleducation:
To our mind, that sentence more than anything we’ve read encapsulates the spirit of Obamaville. It originally appeared in a San Francisco Chronicle story about an incident in which “dozens of college students” invaded a Bank of America Branch, “pitching a tent and chanting ‘shame, shame’ until they were arrested.”
On the way to B of A, they paused at Citi to scream at the walls. These are college students, acting like 2-year-olds throwing a tantrum. What does that tell you about their critical thinking skills–and about the standards of American higher education? The likes of the New York Times expect us to take such incoherent spasms of rage seriously as a political “movement.” What does that tell us about the standards of the liberal media?
Pretty much everything we need to know.

Uptown Versus Downtown
A hilarious take on #OWS from a Daily Show reporter. As always with leftists, their lack of self awareness and a sense of irony comes to the fore.

Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That
So, the White House pressured Solyndra to time its layoffs for political reasons:
Yes, very odd, isn’t it? Actually, it’s so transparently obvious that even Joe Biden could piece together this mystery: Team Obama knew their party was already headed for a world of hurt on election day and wanted to mitigate the damange to the greatest extent possible. Plus, by dropping this ugly news on November 3rd, the entire news media would be suitably distracted by the (important) task of breaking down just how devastating the previous night’s GOP tidal wave had been. From the White House’s perspective, it was a win/win strategy. They could escape or delay electoral consequences for their own abysmal failures, then try to slip the entire development past the American people. So they applied enormous pressure and dangled a $40 million carrot in front of Solyndra’s CEO to “persuade” him to play ball. Lo and behold, he did.
A month later, Solyndra partially defaulted on its loan — which, it’s worth noting, the White House knew from day one was a wildly risky taxpayer-funded gamble — thus violating its terms. They were duly “punished” for this violation with a generous restructuring of their loan guarantee, which authorized politically-connected private financiers like Obama donor George Kaiser* to recoup the first $75 million if (or, more accurately, when) the company went belly-up. This it is precisely what happened in early September of 2011. This arrangement may have violated the law, but legal concerns were shrugged off. The big question: Regarding the politicized layoff notification delay ploy, who knew what, and when?
But remember, the Obama administration has no scandals.
