First Banks, Now Countries? The P.I.G.S. Role in our future

Back in September and October of 08, as Ben Bernanky and Henry Paulsen were busy pulling their hair out, most of the general public had never heard of the term ”moral hazard.”  Now the term is thrown around by people with IQ’s of 60 and above.  Moral hazard is of course the idea that there is no incentive for business to behave well/ ethical when they know that the Government will not let them fail.    “Too Big To Fail” is something we hear as often as “Da Da Da Da Da, I’m lovin it,” and believe me, that’s a lot!

UFC Champion Brock Lesnar (R-SD) suggests that during a recent medical emergency if he would have stayed in the Canadian healthcare system at best he would be forced into early retirement “and would have to wear a colostomy bag,” and  “At worst, I could have died.”

Harsh words for the President brought on criticism from the resident village idiot talking head at ESPN, Jim Rome.

The proposed budget by the same president that wants to cut the deficit without raising taxes.  Lip-service you can believe in.

Two weeks in, worse than Katrina

Had Mr. Bush been president in 2010, how much rhetoric would the left-wing spawn in frustration about the current situation in Haiti?  Perhaps Kanye West would create a variation on his 2005 hit song “George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People“.

Imagine the outrage.

Where is this with Mr. Obama?

Illinois gubernatorial race turning into slapfight

Illinois gubernatorial race turning into slapfight

After the ousting of Governor Rod Blagojevich, Pat Quinn’s governorship seemed in relative peril going into 2010.  Running as an unelected incumbent due to corruption is a hard sell — especially for a career politician.

With recent advertising increasing the anti-Quinn rhetoric suggesting racism and incompetence, it appears that the gloves are off among the Democrats.
