In this economy, I wonder how many people aren’t answering calls from pollsters because they’re afraid that the calls are from creditors? And how that demographic would skew?

The War On Science
…by progressives.
Government contractors have similar problems.

Dispatches from the war that nobody wants:
As everybody knows, there is no such thing as a global war on terror anymore. Instead we live in a harmonious world of interfaith comity with only the occasional criminal act that is quickly and competently handled by law enforcement officials. As a result we can cut our defense budgets and get on with the real business of life, which is to say watching TV, going to the mall and voting to re-elect the strategic geniuses whose wise decisions and firm but thoughtful leadership gave us this tranquil world order.
As we celebrate this new age of peace, understanding and joy, here are a few stories that might matter if we didn’t have such a wise and level-headed government in Washington that was bent on soothing and quieting what might otherwise be an aroused and worried public opinion.
Unfortunately, it’s not true that nobody wants it. The enemy does. They know that you can’t win if you don’t fight.
The Climate Vulnerability Monitoring Report
…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?

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.

“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.”
