[Thanks to the links from Instapundit (Glenn Reynolds), Chaos Manor (Jerry Pournelle), and John C. Wright’s Journal (John C. Wright — what, you were expecting Karl Rove?). In fact, if you follow the link below to my 2008 post, you’ll see that I first read the poem over at Jerry Pournelle’s blog, Chaos Manor.] I posted this poem […]
![The Obama cult of personality [updated x3]](http://andstillipersist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/20090902_bethechange.jpg "The Obama cult of personality [updated x3]")
OK, this Obama cult of personality is getting a wee bit out of hand. I don’t begrudge his supporters waxing rhapsodic about his many virtues (as they see them), but this whole nationwide address to students — and the accompanying letter from EdSec Arne Duncan to teachers and administrators — is getting a bit too […]
While many recent poll numbers are looking better and better for the Republicans, here’s a wake-up call from Rasmussen: Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republican voters say their party’s representatives in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters nationwide over the past several years. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 18% of […]
It’s scary at times how well Randall Munroe (author of xkcd) captures our inner thoughts. ..bruce w..

MORNING LINKS — apparently, Monday’s also a snowy day ITEM: I went to bed with rain falling outside and woke up to about an inch of snow on the ground, with more falling. And apparently we could get more on Friday Morning (May 1st). ITEM: For about two years before things collapsed, my co-blogger, Bruce […]
MORNING LINKS ITEM: Stories from the Great Depression. This is a good read to remind ourselves that (Robert Reich notwithstanding) we Americans continue to live in unprecedented abundance: In the summer, I took a washtub and put it on a little scaffold out near the chicken house and put burlap sacks around it to make […]
MORNING LINKS. ITEM: That didn’t take long: President Obama apologizes for his “Special Olympics” remark on the Tonight Show last night. In the meantime, the New York Times beclowns itself (hat tip to Strategy Memo at Real Clear Politics) by saying: “In his appearance with Mr. Leno, Mr. Obama walked a tightrope between projecting good […]
AFTERNOON UPDATES: ITEM: NASA Scientist and Moonbat Warmist James Hansen says that “The democratic process doesn’t quite seem to be working” with regards to climate change and is calling for protests and direct action (Wikipedia: “Direct action can include nonviolent and violent activities which target persons, groups, or property deemed offensive to the direct action […]
. . . will be later today. Right now, it’s Tuesday morning, so it must be link time: President Obama’s War on Business continues. As I noted yesterday, I’m not happy with the AIG payout, but it is both unseemly and dangerous to have the President of the United States singling out and using taxpayer […]
