Go argue with them...

You can't argue with the Klueless in LaLa Land.

Having said that they have swerved a bit into the truth: "...uncertainty about fiscal policy is holding back the economic recovery."

Hillary: "Lets Loosen Regulations To Create Jobs"

Posted By david elosser

The burdensome cost of regulations on our economic growth has long passed the point of absurd. Just look at these stats on the industry I work in, industrial and manufacturing:

- Since 1998 the cost of regulations on manufacturing has increased faster than the overall economic growth in that same period.

- Today, just four government agencies impose almost 2200 regulations on U.S.manufacturers (EPA, DOT, Labor Dept, and Energy Dept).

- These 2200 government regulations cost manufacturers nearly $160 billion a year.

Now admittedly, many of these regulations are needed to promote fairness, safety and health. But clearly in my mind the regulatory climate has become itself insane and needs to be scaled back.

The MSLM has gotten so bad about being in the tank for Obama, it spawned UnSkewedPolls.com.

Battery manufacturer shorts out

Well, looky here:
http://www.kxly.com/news/money/GM-to-build-an-electric-Cadillac-the-ELR/-/116108/17009890/-/view/print/-/12uwlno/-/index.html

GM's getting ready to build the Cadillac version of the Chevy Volt! Apparently the Volt wasn't enough of a failure for 'em! 8O Now the Chevy Volt itself costs fourty grand. shocked I don't know about youse libs but where I come from, a $40 thousand car IS a luxury car! smile (Heck, 40 grand would buy a really nice double wide! grin ) So I have no clue how much GM considers "luxury" in this instance. "GM said Tuesday it would invest $35 million tax dollars in the plant to build the ELR..."

Preening buffoon of pseudo-blue-collar machismo

Mark Steyn lays into Biden for his latest buffoonery:

At the photo-op staged for the returning caskets, Obama et al. seem to have been too focused on their campaign needs to observe even the minimal courtesies. Charles Woods says that at the ceremony Joe Biden strolled over to him and by way of condolence said in a “loud and boisterous� voice, “Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?� One assumes charitably that the vice president is acknowledging in his own inept and blundering way the remarkable courage of a man called upon to die for his country on some worthless sod halfway across the planet. But the near-parodic locker-room coarseness is grotesque both in its inaptness and in its lack of basic human feeling for a bereaved family forced to grieve in public and as crowd-scene extras to the political bigshot. Just about the only formal responsibility a vice president has is to attend funerals without embarrassing his country. And this preening buffoon of pseudo-blue-collar faux-machismo couldn’t even manage that.

He also does a nice job explaining the incredible shrinking president:

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/331806/incredible-shrinking-president-mark-steyn#

"Conventional wisdom" is that people really don't vote for VP, they pretty much ignore that part of the campaign. Still, this time around there is such a contrast between the two VP's I have to wonder if anyone has switched from Obama because of Joe Biden-Boo-Boo.

No Jeep Production In China

(From the original Bloomberg reportsmile "To counter the severe slump in European sales, (Fiat CEO Sergio) Marchionne is considering building Chrysler models in Italy, including Jeeps, for export to North America. The Italian government is evaluating tax rebates on export goods* to help Fiat."

*(For you people who, like Obama, spent the last years of high school in a drug induced daze, that's tax cuts for the rich.)

Iranian SU-25s Fire At US Drone...

They couldn't hit it. I doubt if anyone tries to fire warning shots at an unmanned drone.
My idea of a US response? Quadruple the current number of drone overflights in Iran...

I wouldn't do anything. If they ever hit one it would be Bush's fault.
