Arbitrary, Capricious & Above the Law
Joy Tiz ©2010 Most lawyers, upon finding themselves on the receiving end of a judicial rebuke as scathing as the one handed down by Judge Martin Feldman in Hornbeck v. Salazar, would be spending the next few days in a dark bar. At the very least, a few sick days would be in order to avoid [...]

Bobby Jindal Ramps it Up
The Louisana governor has been managing the oil spill quite literally hands on while begging the Obama adminstration to do its actual job and provide his state some help.

Obama Can’t Outsource His Incompetence
Obama Can’t Outsource His Incompetence Joy Tiz ©2010 The OPA amended the Federal authority in § 311 to respond to spills. Prior to the OPA, § 311 authorized the President to respond to discharges of oil and hazardous substances, but there was significant latitude for private cleanup efforts by the discharger. The OPA amended [...]

Soros, BP and Obama: Singing From the Same Hymnal
Joy Tiz ©2010 Even if we’re unsure exactly what that looks like. Even if we don’t yet know precisely how to get there. We know we’ll get there -Barack Obama Last week, I had an emergency root canal. A root canal is an excruciating tribulation but once it’s over, you will be better [...]

Obama’s Boss Sees Silver Lining In BP Spill
Joy Tiz ©2010 Reuters is reporting that Brazil stands to benefit from the BP oil spill disaster as the US moratorium makes more rigs available for other countries.

Lincoln Beats Soros
Blanche Lincoln beat the Soros-backed Bill Halter. The union thugs and Soros funded Moveon.org suffered a humiliating defeat. Together, they couldn’t take down a washed up party hack. Organized labor just blew $10 million. Lincoln should be easily beaten in November if Republicans force her to run on her voting record. Democrats have figured out [...]

Libs Flunk Econ 101
In case you needed empirical proof, the WSJ is reporting the results of a new Zogby quiz about simple economics–liberals scored worse than any other group. Who is better informed about the policy choices facing the country—liberals, conservatives or libertarians? According to a Zogby International survey that I write about in the May issue of [...]

Happy Election Day!
When I was growing up in Chicago, schools were closed on presidential election days. Daley I commandeered them as polling places. So we got a day off from school. It was like a holiday. In fact, it was the first holiday of the season. Here in California, we are taking our first steps toward finally [...]

Who’s Ready for a President Biden?
Peter Ferrara is saying it out loud–Obama isn’t going to make it to 2012 without being forced to resign in disgrace: I am now ready to predict that President Obama will not even make it that far. I predict that he will resign in discredited disgrace before the fall of 2012. Like my previous prediction, [...]

Guess Who Else Hearts Brazil?

Motion to Dismiss in VA Anti ObamaCare Case
Don’t read too much into the government’s motion to dismiss VA’s anti-ObamaCare lawsuit. Despite the breathless reporting, a motion to dismiss is SOP in any type of litigation. Defense counsel has to use every available legal motion to get the case tossed without being heard on the merits. Wait to see if the court buys [...]

Obama’s Housing Clunker
Joy Tiz ©2010 The antiquated media would have you believe that an increase in home sales in April is a signal that the Obama economy is in recovery. Not only are they wrong; the worst hasn’t even hit yet. The recent uptick in sales was caused not by a better economy, but by the homebuyers’ tax credit which [...]

Soros: Don’t Blame Me
Joy Tiz ©2010 Ed Lasky at American Thinker explains how Obama’s Puppet Master, unrepentant Nazi collaborator, George Soros, enjoys the benefits of liberal hypocrisy as well as America’s misery: The Democratic Party preaches that it is for the little guy and bashes Wall Street and bankers mercilessly.
