The Rights of Man

Most excellent.

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.

Get it at Amazon.

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

Ironically Iconic

Sorry. Can’t stop laughing. This is priceless.

This couldn’t have worked out any better had they planned it.

Imagine. An abortion clinic wanting reader assistance to upload their photos to bolster their website.

Heh heh. Gotta love it. Pro-life folks absolutely filled it to overflowing.,

Dain Bramage Demonstrated

By Georgetown students.

Having Joe Schoffstall walk around with a petition to ban conservative “hate sites” like Hot Air, Instapundit, Drudge Report – to name but a few.

Students should scream for their money back for being so poorly educated indoctrinated.

This Man Knows

Senator Rubio.

He also knows how best to answer questions posed to him from Dick Gregory on Meet The Press.

Go, Senator!

Timing Is Everything

Hot Air has an excellent article and a video by FreedomWorks depicting current events and government policies against the backdrop of the just released movie, Atlas Shrugs Part 1.

At the moment, there are only three locations here in Maryland showing the movie. If you live in or near Annapolis, Gaithersburg or Bethesda, you have better luck than most of us to go see it.

There just might be more theaters showing this movie, if we are lucky.

UPDATE: Putting the Record Straight

Regarding the Thuggery in Wisconsin, and elsewhere.

Make no mistake: The knock-down, drag-out battle in Wisconsin is based on total self-interest, pushing for past privileges, recast as workers’ “rights” that ultimately could bankrupt that state. One would think “collective bargaining rights” are immutable, found in the Bill of Rights, or in The Universal Rights of Man, to hear the public union officials and their lackeys in the Legislature. It is simply not so.

Gary Larson is quite right.

UPDATE: And in Washington state we have this:
