Birds of a Feather Remember last week or the week before when it was being reported that Fidel said that the Cuban economy doesn’t work?  Well just like a leftist, he’s back pedalled from that position, since like all good leftists, lying is second nature.  Just ask Obama.  The Cuban economy is in shambles and leftist apologists are working to get sanctions removed before Fidel and his brother Raul have an unhappy encounter with the people they betrayed.  Fidel said what he said, but now disavows it as it is proving to be a bit uncomfortable for him.   Frank Calzon at the South Sentinel lays out the scene.  Cuba, once the largest sugar producer in the world, is now importing sugar for their own needs.   That is yet another symptom of the Cuban government’s command and control economy, something that the…

Mark Strama is a liberal Democrat, currently occupying the seat belonging to Texas state House District 50 .  He’s known for his affinity for a certain Barack Obama , which probably helped him in 2008.  But now…not so much. District 50 is mostly in liberal Travis County, but parts of it leak up into Williamson County, which is a red bulwark hard against Travis County’s blue dot.  Most of Williamson is in District 52, which also elected a liberal to the House in 2008 – Dianna Maldonado.  And a drive through Williamson shows that Maldonado knows she’s in for a serious fight against the GOP nominee, Larry Gonzales .  Maldonado’s signs are everywhere, curiously omitting any mention of the radical leftists who support her candidacy. But until recently there weren’t any Strama signs anywhere in the sliver of Williamson County that’s in his district.  That changed about a week ago.  Now, on a drive through the area, you can’t help but notice that…

Perhaps this is too harsh, but there are plethora of words referenced that include the prefix ‘UN’ these days. UNbelievable .  This word comes in nearly every email that I receive that references government overreach, arrogance and corruption.  Rush, Sean, Mark Levin and others use it repeatedly.  Is this rogue government really UNBELIEVABLE at this point?   I would call government and the leftists that engineer it as ’PREDICTABLY DISAPPOINTING’ or ‘INFURIATINGLY DISMISSIVE’ or  ’CALCULATINGLY HEARTLESS’ or… Somebody in this audience has the right term.  But UNbelievable just doesn’t cut it anymore.  What THIS government does is entirely ‘Believable’ and my ability to be shocked by them has been exhausted.  Whatever is worst for the country is the predictable course that they will take. UNexpectedly.   Employment UNEXPECTEDLY fell.  Retail Sales UNEXPECTEDLY sank.  The Trade deficit UNEXPECTEDLY went negative.  New home starts UNEXPECTEDLY fell.  This is so farcical as to border on the ridiculous.  With this President and this Congress, who has ANY expectations of success?  Rush and others laugh about …
