Happy Fourth of July America!!!

Happy 4th of July.  Some free advice for you; Remember what the day represents.

Anemic Obama recovery

Back in September of 2009, The Economist declared that the recession the country was in was over as of June of that year.  That being the case, how has the recovery been for you?  It has by standards of recent recoveries, not been so good for the United States.  After a steep decline you'd expect a steep recovery, would you not?  That hasn't been the case with the Obama-(mis)led recovery.

Still posting

It looks like I'm back in blogging business as of today.  The truth is, here in the Great White North, it was a holiday and I've been itching to get back to posting.  I didn't have a backlog of posts to put up because I've been too busy to do much more than read and stay current on events.

Career Ending Face Plant

U.S. Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin's career in gymnastics is sadly ending without a trip to the 2012 Olympics in London as a result (in part) of this spill:

Not pretty.  After a wonderful career she has been outshone at the ripe old age of 23, by other exciting gymnasts who will represent the United States at the Olympics in 2012.  Liukin will not be remembered for this fall as much as her performances in 2008.

President Obama on the other hand, should have had a career ending face plant multiple times with scandal after scandal and failure after failure between 2008 and 2012.  I hope his presidential career ends on this kind of note this year, and then Americans across the country can provide the same sort of face plant to Obamacare that it so richly deserves.

Gay Anderson Cooper probably voting for Obama

In case you haven't heard, news personality Anderson Cooper (CNN) is gay.  He came out of the closet today. Does it matter?  A little bit, yes.

Obama fails at root cause analysis

In an article in the Washington Post where president Obama bemoans his lack of fundraising versus Republicans and versus his own efforts in 2008, there's a very telling passage.
