Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year At the same time, government-provided benefits — from Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps and other programs — rose to a record high during the first three months of 2010. But has everything goes to hell in a handbasket, it will all be blamed on free markets, despite what Brutally Honest calls “change some continue to believe inâ€. …

How to fix the financial crisis
Proposed reforms, both left and right, are unlikely to have any effect on the continuing massive misappropriation from the financial system. It is absurd that people are discussing obscure details of the credit swap market. To fix the financial crisis, we have to revoke, or at least denounce and denigrate, Marie Curie’s Nobel prize. When they gave a Nobel prize to Marie Curie for being female, that did not hurt anyone except more deserving potential Nobel prize winners. But handing …
The left as astroturf
Whenever one sees supposedly insurrectionary leftism, one usually detects a government official sponsoring it, as for example in the recent suppression of US flags on Cinco de Mayo. Observe the recent firebombings in the Greek riots, where the “rioters†murdered three people. Here are a couple of videos of the “rioters†firebombing police. The “rioters†charge the police, and bang on their shields with light sticks, making no attempt to jab through the gaps at the actual bodies of the …
US government endorses Mexican violence
Compare and contrast with Saint Patrick’s day, where the American flag flies high. By enforcing what the thugs want, the government endorses and supports that thuggery. The government will empower any group that supports bigger government, for example Mexicans as a voter block, and disempower any group that objects to bigger government. So, predictably, Mexican thugs were empowered by the school administration, the administration being part of the government.
Wishing for a chinese crash
Their beliefs about China are incoherent, internally inconsistent, and mutually contradictory, showing that they don’t really believe what they believe. I suspect that what they really believe is that basing a society on self interest is morally wrong, and therefore must surely be punished by the heavens.
Dangerous Thought Criminal
This evil person has been detected expressing a forbidden thought in private email. She suggested that wrong think could possibly be true, and the evidence needed to be considered. She has of course given repeated grovelling public apologies for her horrifying crime. Her career is of course dead, and all right thinking people condemn her, and should continue to condemn her. Failure to adequately condemn her may cause you to be similarly suspected of wrongthink.  No person capable of wrongthink …
Have leftists guilt tripped you into getting screwed?
Probably not as much as Donna Ron was. This rapist, terrorist, and bomber, is a frequent visitor to the Whitehouse, one of the most powerful men in academia, and the major ghostwriter of Obama’s book “Dream’s of my fatherâ€.
Basel II and the destruction of civilization as we know it.
Thus the decision as to what is a safe loan is moved to politics and the government bureaucracy, far far away from anyone who knows the borrower or has actually seen the assets.
The Obamized future
America was the place where the future was created. All the world depended on America for progress. It ceased to be that place under Clinton, and things got worse under Bush. We cannot rebuild the two towers, we no longer have a human presence in space, and the next big thing on the internet, networked money that bypasses our legacy banking system, is coming from China, and, God-help-us, Africa. Remember that in the 1950s, we were about to settle Antarctica, …
No men on the left
A leftist women, who merely wants humans to return to the stone age, was publicizing her book criticizing the far left, who want to get rid of humans altogether (They want the stone age with no killing of non human animals, an arrangement where one’s life expectancy would be measured in weeks.) A bunch of far leftists attacked her. They did not throw pies at her, they punched her with jalapeno pepper pie. The people in the audience, even those …
