One Judge Slaps Down Seven Million California Voters
America's Anchorman dissects the Prop 8 decision: An assault on the US Constitution. 

"For those of you in California, it may be time just to forget the elections. Just skip them. Because your votes don't count. Your votes don't matter."
 
"This judge codified marriage as homophobia."
   
"The Democrats who are cheering this ruling overturning California's Prop 8 are not really cheering gay marriage, though they want gays to believe that they are. What they're doing is giving standing ovations to this judge for weakening the US Constitution."

Minority Rule vs. Minority Rights
We're being ruled by a political minority of the voters. That's not the way it should work

Transparency!

New financial regulation reform bill exempts SEC from FOIA

When Barack Obama signed the new financial-regulation reform bill into law, its supporters claimed it as a victory for transparency and accountability.  That may be true for Wall Street, although debatable, but it’s not true for government and the regulatory regime it enhanced.  The SEC now claims that the bill has given them an exemption from Freedom of Information Act requests, the very device by which citizens and media force transparency in the halls of power

The use of FOIA has uncovered many problems at the SEC, which is undoubtedly why Chris Dodd and Barney Frank wanted the exemption.  Among the cases listed by Fox Business as having been boosted by FOIA requests are:
  • March 2009 – Fox used FOIA to discover that the SEC had investigated Madoff and R. Allen Stanford, but failed to follow through on prosecution in time to save investors.
  • 2009 – Fox again used FOIA to get records showing that the Fed knew AIG execs would get their bonuses under the bailout legislation proposed by Congress.
  • SEC whistleblower Gary Aguirre forced the SEC to release documents through FOIA requests that showed he was correct in accusing the agency of interfering in an investigation of Pequot Asset Management — and allowed him to get a settlement for wrongful termination.
None of these would have happened without FOIA.

Whoa: Dems jump out to six-point lead on generic ballot in Gallup

Update: Alternate explanation, one that’s far more ominous for the GOP since it’s bound to recur as an issue: Is this a reaction to Republicans resisting new money for unemployment benefits?

Three Guesses

Who pays for the new financial regulation bill?

Barack Obama celebrated the passage of the new financial regulation bill yesterday.  So did Chris Dodd and Barney Frank.  And why not?  It’s not as though they’ll have to pay for the new bureaucracies and regulation imposed on the American financial system.  For that matter, it won’t be the bankers, either.  Who pays? Three guesses, and the first two don’t count

Freon: Is There Nothing It Can’t Do?

Posted by Always To The Right on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 7:45:07 PM

Too Much Air Conditioning Makes Salon Boil Over

On the other hand, the argument works both ways.The big big government that Salon
takes for granted — their 1950s-era Galbraithian fantasy of Washington DC running the entire country out of Miesian office buildings in DC — was itself made possible by the same air conditioning that Salon now decries. As Jonah Goldberg wrote over a decade ago

Seriously though, you get the feeling that if today’s “progressives” had their way, then none of the technology that we take for granted today — the car, airplanes, air conditioning — the Internet that Salon publishes on — would exist today.

Is Paul Krugman Heartless, Clueless Or Confused (Pick Only One)?

Posted by Always To The Right on Monday, July 05, 2010 3:33:51 PM
A response to Krugman’s column on “heartless” Republicans

The only problem is that Krugman ignores that Republicans were in favor of extending benefits by taking the money from elsewhere in the budget, including unused stimulus funds. It was the Democrats who balked at this solution, insisting on running up more debt. So the entire premise of Krugman calling Republicans heartless amounts to nothing more than a fiscal policy dispute. Why aren’t Democrats heartless for not going along with the Republican proposal?

Krugman says this phenomenon is irrelevant in a bad economy, but once again he ignores that Republicans were willing to extend benefits if the benefits were paid for in the budget, not paid for with more money borrowed from China. So who is the clueless one?

Back to the title question. Is Paul Krugman heartless, clueless or confused?

Yes.
