Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
Yes, pretty soon Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider Man, will be eating tea and crumpets with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. (So if both Mickey and Minnie are surnamed “Mouse” does that mean they are already married? Or are they siblings? Cousins? How does that work? And don’t even get me started on the “Goofy is [...]
A pastor in Phoenix has drawn outrage for praying for Obama to have brain cancer and die like Ted Kennedy. A Phoenix-area pastor has started to draw protesters to his congregation after he delivered a sermon titled, “Why I Hate Barack Obama,” and told his parishioners that he prays for President Obama’s death. Pastor Steven [...]
Obama’s public approval rating continues to drop at a steady rate. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11 [...]
Ouch. Both figuratively and literally. Ouch. The Denver faithful were provided with a view of a quality young quarterback who looks like he could revitalize a flagging franchise. Unfortunately that quarterback was Jay Cutler and the franchise was the Chicago Bears. What the Denver fans saw from their OWN franchise was a defense with still-gaping [...]
It may look like a piece of honeycomb, but this lattice-shaped image is the first ever close-up view of a single molecule. Scientists from IBM used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to reveal the chemical bonds within a molecule. 'This is the first time that all the atoms in a molecule have been imaged,' lead [...]
So tomorrow Jay Cutler will be in Denver again, leading the Chicago Bears against the Kyle Orton (ex Chicago Bear) led Broncs.

Back a month or so ago, when Obama’s strong negatives first rose above his strong positives, I asked if we had reached a tipping point in Obama’s popularity. Events since then have, I think, vindicated that analysis and prediction. Obama is on his fifth day in double-digit negative indexes on his Rasmussen daily presidential approval [...]
Court denies “Tim Geithner TurboTax defense”. The Tax Court yesterday rejected a taxpayer’s attempt to use the TurboTax defense successfully employed by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Hopson v. Commissioner, T.C. Summ. Op. 2009-130 (Aug. 25, 2009) (citations omitted): These things don’t work for the “little people” like you and me, only prominent Democrat political figures. [...]
The last (and least) significant political remnant of the unfortunately termed “Camelot” days has died. To address the human side of this first, I sympathize with any family who deals with the ravages of cancer, so I have nothing but compassion for the family and friends of Teddy Kennedy. I also hope this provides some [...]
