"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that justifies it."

One of the first things you learn in Economics 101 is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Well when it comes to healthcare, Barack Obama is offering free breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.

Our pay czar says that he doesn't want broader powers over the rest of the financial sector.

Speaking of pay czars, just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Could Washington's plans to rein in executive salaries eventually result in even higher executive pay?

From Victor Davis Hanson ... All Falling Down . . .

When it comes to banking, size isn't the only thing that matters.

The White House is catching a lot of flak for giving perks to its top donors.

How's that stimulus spending working out for ya? Philadelphia was awarded $157 million in federal funds. It has only spent $1 million so far and only saved 52 jobs.

Obama signed his first defense authorization bill, only after complaining that there was too much pork spending in the bill.

Guess who is back at the government trough ... GMAC!

The Senate has agreed to extend the first-time homebuyer tax credit.

Ethics offices in Washington are at odds with each other, so they call in Nancy Pelosi to intervene.

This one ought to get the turbos charged ... scientists have been able to grow artificial sperm and eggs.

Your House of Representatives is taking the time to call hearings to discuss the long-term effects of head injuries in football.

Costco says that it is now going to start accepting food stamps.

Ladies, how do you feel about Ian Robinson's column about right-wing women?

What others are saying

  • Ian's column
    How funny that my brother and I were having that same conversation yesterday. We both came to the same conclusion as Ian......Conservative women are HOT HOT HOT. All you leftards can keep what you have, we'll take the righties every day of the week.
  • Congress and football head injuries
    I think the NFL should conduct a study to see just what it is that causes elected members of congress to apparently suffer head injury and brain damage once elected. C'mon! the NFL has as much business doing that as congress does investigating football head injury!
  • Right wing women
    Awesome column. There are a lot of hot right wing women:

    Michelle Malkin
    Sarah Palin
    Hasselbeck
    Laura Ingraham

    (sorry Coulter is NOT hot).
  • Maybe too late to get this in
    But on the Cash for Clunkers:

    Study out that says only 125,000 more cars sold than expected for this time of year. So that's 3billion for 125,000 = $24000 per car from the taxpayers. How's that for stimulus!
  • To booger
    I will tell you though I was VERY surprised though to hear Boortz talking about the collapsing dollar. I hope he is starting to realize why this is happening. That at least gives me hope that Boortz will ignore his orders and talk openly about what the elite offshore bankers are doing to this country.
  • Funny for the day
    KFC has done it again!!

    KFC just announced an addition to their chicken dinners.

    It's called the Obama Cabinet Bucket.

    It consists of nothing but left wings and a**holes.


    LOL, thanks butt, didn't think I'd post it did ya!
  • Neal you need to get on the ball.
    Ivan
    You forgot, Neal doesn't like sports (and no, golf is not a real sport)
  • To Sherry
    Yes Neal is muzzled by Cox Communications. Furthermore he is muzzled by the false right vs left paradigm that is currently being shattered by true alternative media.
  • Hey Phil!
    I've not noticed any shortages of little people around these parts. The growth industries appear to be day care, pre-school, all-day kindergarten and the like, all catering to a clientele with children. The folks around here can't afford expensive means such as IVF so I suspect the majority of these little people are all being produced "the old fashioned way". If you want to point out the small minority with big bucks who're paying goo-gobs of money to try and produce evem MORE little people, go ahead. By the way, I noticed those folks, too. Since I've no objection to how folks spend their own money (note: their OWN money, not money extracted from others by coercion or force), I decided not to mention them (they're a relatively small group).
  • Costco/Foodstamps....
    Does this mean you get a free membership along with the free food???
  • Copenhagen Trip
    I've notice over the past few weeks that Neal seems to be toning down the timbre of his entire show. Is he being slowly muzzled? I'm concerned.
  • Various
    Costco-a smart business move. Lots of food stamp users have disposable income (see all those cars in lower-middle class neighborhoods). Food stamp customers will be buying lots of wine to go with the Ramen.

    GM Bailout, Phase II - what 'tha f___.

    Homebuyer Tax Credit - OK, it has sounded nice. Now they want to give a credit to people who ALREADY HAVE A HOUSE? I've been in my house for 30 years. As a single woman making less than $50,000 a year, I paid it off 10 years early...the offer $6K to buy another one is just plain silly. PLUS, in 5 years we'll be having this foreclosure problem again.

    Have a great day!
  • Rofl
    And now Boortz is denying that Obama signed the hate crimes bill. Neal...Neal cmon man. The boat has left and you ain't on it. Btw that hate crimes bill basically paved the road to destroying the first amendment. This all happens just in time to shut down free speech for people that oppose the Copenhagen treaty. Neal you need to get on the ball.
  • Babies from thin air....
    Mengele would be proud....
  • LoL
    Just heard Neal take a call about Obamas trip to Copenhagen and then just drop the subject as if it is some kind of fake conspiracy. Neal you have lost ALL credibility.
  • re:Ian Robinson
    Good one, eh? Would someone please get Joy Behar a good laxative. I think it could be a life changing experience.
  • Liberal women
    don't shave....nuff said.
  • Ian's article
    LOVE IT!
  • @Jubilation T Cornpone @ 10/29/09 10:15:33 AM
    Obviously you haven't been paying attention in the last few decades. People that are having problems concieving children naturally are spending LOADS of money on infertility treatments like IVF, egg donations, and surrogate mothers. There is profit to be made here. Also, how else do you think a lot of gays bear children?

    BTW, most medical isurance doesn't cover these treatments, so this is all out-of-pocket as well.
  • re:Obamacare
    A wise man once said( okay, maybe he said it more than once...)"beware the man who would give you the shirt off his back..." Especially if it wasn't even his shirt. Can you say, 'bill of goods'?
  • Leave Bad Enough Alone
    They should have left the car companies alone, let them declare bankruptcy and restructure - or die, as Chrysler should have 30 years ago.

    Now GMAC is asking for even more money to stanch the bleeding. And Obama will give it to them, for another pound of flesh. How much will it cost the taxpayers to prop up GM until it dies?

    And, by the way, have you seen the ads for a new internet bank called Ally? They offer above-market interest rates for your deposits. Sounds attractive? Well, be careful. They are the deposit arm of GMAC Financial. Do you really want to put your money into a financial company you already know is on life support???
  • Artificial Sperm and Eggs...
    This should not come as a surprise. Genetics has come a long way since the US brought over scientists working for Hitler during WWII. This has been possible in certain circles for 25 years or more. Infact there is a military controlled facility in Dulce New Mexico that has been conducting genetic experiments such as this for the better part of 20 years. Some of the breakthroughs they make there would seem like science fiction to the average layman.
  • Isakson
    outta here
  • Right Wing Women
    I LOVED the column about right-wing women. In fact, I think some Repub candidates ought to adopt the campaign slogan "You can't buy Jimmy Choos in a Socialist paradise." I imagine a whole lot of young women who THINK they're lefties (because they don't know the difference) will wake up and drop the Dems!
  • Homebuyer tax credit.
    I can't agree with extending the homeowner tax credit. The tax credit is a bad idea in the first place! It symbolizes what is wrong with the current tax system. Well connected special interest can game the current system to fit their needs. This a welfare check to home buyers. I wonder who lines the coffers of Isakson's campaign war chest? Don't you think the NAHB, and the NAR wrote some nice checks to his campaign? This is ANOTHER reason to vote this scoundrel out of office next year after voting for TARP (banking buddies), and sponsoring this subsidy to home buyers.
  • Scientists have been able to grow artificial sperm and eggs
    ... aren't there already enough people being produced by all-natural means?

    ... in which case, the only way to make it profitable will be by government subsidy (our tax dollars at work?)
  • Artificial Sperm and Eggs
    Did anyone else notice the 'journalist' made a very stupid error in his report?

    "...although many scientists are sceptical about whether it is possible to create sperm from female cells, which lack the male Y chromosome."

    Anyone remember grade school biology? Women carry X-X, men carry X-Y. Sperm can be X or Y, but EGGS can only be X.

    What would happen if they made a Y-chromosome egg, and paired it with a Y-chromosome sperm? Dr. Mengele, paging Dr. Mengele
  • Oops, I mean "Walking Bill of Attainder"
    I'll learn how to type one day. Then I'll learn to use a computer and maybe get on the internet.
  • Ian's article
    Well done. If I were a lib I might say it was sexist. But as a conservative I aplaude him. I dig conservative chicks. They usually have better educations, value family traditions and quite honestly have better sex than libs. Bravo conservative women, you have us wrapped around your pinky finger.
  • Pay Czar is a wlaking Bill of Attainder
    Limiting executive pay is unconstitutional, not that the dems care.
    Cutting off ACORN is not unconstitutional.
    That is not money earned by individuals, it is a payoff of taxpayer money to a criminal organization.
  • Pay Czar Does Not Want To
    control other companies pay. Holy guacamole, Batman - what did Obama do after he said he didn't want to run GM?

    Get ready for a rapid and extensive expansion of this guy's authority over your paycheck.
  • Preempt snarky
    I disagree with the actions of Congress to extend and expand the home buyers credit. I include in this criticism Georgia's own Senator Johnny Isakson (R), who apparently pushed hard for the expansion.
  • From the commentary by Sir Thomas Sowell that Neal linked to under the Subject of the pay czars:
    “Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to make life and death decisions about your loved ones?”

    This is why the Statist Demoncrats desperately want their healthcare control – they don't care about your health, all they care about is clinging to power.
  • Philly elections
    Philly has only spent 1 million of 157 million that it got in stimulus money! I smell some government officials there to not get re-elected
  • Jimmy Choos?
    I am a libertarian housewife. . . in the DC area! I wish my life was all shoe shopping and going to the gym! I have to raise kids though darn it! Seriously though, the article was fun. Being a libertarian is difficult in the DC area, especially since I refuse to buy organic. (very shocking)
  • One year ago...
    ...I was positive the ignorant masses would elect Obama therefore the idea of government salary caps was to be expected. I didn't know a "Czar" would determine it, but that's irrelevant.

    I actually think things are better off today than I thought they would be a year ago. In 2009 when I thought about the future it never occurred to me that a public stupid enough to vote for Obama would rise up and protest to the degree it has. I figured by now that the socialized medical plan and cap & trade would have been signed and ready for implementation. I figured that we'd be well on our way to banning firearms by now.

    I really thought Obama, Pelosi, and Reid would work overtime to impose their draconian legislation before the start of election year 2010. During election years people start to pay attention, so I figured they'd pass their absurd regulations before 2010 so that Hollywood would have enough time to cause people to forget. Like I said, I never expected the people to stand up and say "NO" to this degree and hold up this legislation so long.

    I'd like to say that these protests show that there's hope for America, but after the 2010 election and one or both houses of Congress change hands the people will forget and the same old deterioration will continue.
  • Costco
    "Costco says that it is now going to start accepting food stamps."
    Well of course they are! After all, it's "Free Money"!! Why wouldn't you accept it?
