The joy of not being sold anything
How did the vandal (slash “artist”) who did this gain access to a spray paint can? Did they steal it? Or did someone give it to them? If they bought it then what are the exceptions to the philosophy being expressed here? Or if they are not referring to actual purchase of goods and services [...]

Alexander Hamilton was not a fan of big government.
“The principal purposes to be answered by union are these — the common defense of the members; the preservation of the public peace as well against internal convulsions as external attacks; the regulation of commerce with other nations and between the States; the superintendence of our intercourse, political and commercial, with foreign countries…If the circumstances [...]

“We told them the wealth would trickle down”
Via Reddit (many many times) comes this picture of Reagan & Co. laughing saying “We told them the wealth would ‘trickle down’!”: …Except, in reality, they didnt. i could enjoy it more on a non-political, strictly humor level, if they didnt quote “trickle down”, which is a term used to mock supply side economics, not [...]

Latest Bachmann Scare-Smear: She’s a Christian (and that’s bad, remember?)
Did you know that Michelle Bachman predicted that the world would end in 2006? That’s probably because she didn’t. But Marie Diamond at the leftist blog ThinkProgress thinks this vague allusion to the Rapture that Bachmann said in 2006 is as “jarring” as her belief that it is important to spread her religion.

Fox News critics looking for ways to take down Murdoch press over UK hack scandal
James Fallows in the Atlantic calls this video “The Most Incredible Thing Fox News Has Ever Done”: Or at least the most amazingly brazen I can think of at this moment. Via Erik Wemple of the Washington Post, the simply unbelievable Fox and Friends segment below. It’s about the News of the World hacking scandal. To the good: [...]

Leftists fight against Voter I.D.
As pressure mounts to pass laws requiring voters present valid identification at polling places to prove they are who they claim they are when voting, leftists are fighting against it. Not with arguments, as usual, but with smears. The prominant response is the usual “Republicans hate everyone” smear. “Jim Crow, move over — the Wisconsin [...]
