New Book Explains A Lot

A brief description of Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon:

In Reckless Endangerment, Gretchen Morgenson, the star business columnist of The New York Times, exposes how the watchdogs who were supposed to protect the country from financial harm were actually complicit in the actions that finally blew up the American economy.

Drawing on previously untapped sources and building on original research from coauthor Joshua Rosner—who himself raised early warnings with the public and investors, and kept detailed records—Morgenson connects the dots that led to this fiasco.

Fanning the Flames

Of Barney Frank’s involvement with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you know, the mortgage bubble problem?

Well, the story just won’t quit, folks. It seems those in charge of the FM’s – 6 top execs – get to divvy up $34.4M amongst themselves.

Got to hand it to Michelle Malkin for reminding us of the infamy that these – people – have as they impacted our economy – beyond belief.

UPDATE: Gas Prices MythBusted

Staying close to home? Here’s why.

UPDATE: As if anyone needed further explanation.

Gun Control Under the Radar

According to the Greeley Gazette, that’s what the POTUS said to Sarah Brady.

Executive orders have to be stricken and disallowed in all future Presidential terms. No good is coming from them.

Harassed By Police

Even though in the right, apparently. A little more on that.

And then there’s this. Somebody taking lesson’s from crooks now?

Treasury to Tap Pensions

To fund the Government. And now, for you government employees, what are your thoughts on this?

The Obama administration will begin to tap federal retiree programs to help fund operations after the government lost its ability Monday to borrow more money from the public, adding urgency to efforts in Washington to fashion a compromise over the debt.

There’s a small graphic down the left side of the article displaying where the debt ceiling is.

Because you are going to get sick when you see it.

Think Timmy will try to come after our private 401K’s next?

An Ad to Remember

Political Equivalent to Carl Sagan

Billions and billions.

Of money spent. To Brazilian oil. To Chinese wind turbines. To ACORN.

You have to stop, Barack. Your actions bely your words.

And we all know it – except you. And, apparently, your EPA cronies don’t care about us either.

UPDATE: WI Recall Material Stolen

Out and out thievery, breaking and entering, vandalism.

On Thursday Wisconsin conservatives announced that they had collected enough signatures 15,000 to recall fleebagger Senator Dave Hansen of Green Bay. Vandals broke into a Wisconsin political office late Thursday or Friday morning and ripped off the fleebagger recall petitions.

Think the Rule of Law will be upheld here if the perps are caught? Think the signature lists were destroyed?
Think this was organized?

UPDATE: Well, well, it looks like the crooks were caught. Thank God they weren’t too bright, huh? But what they did with the stolen data was absolutely disgusting .
