Every time I hear the MSM refer to “waterboarding” as “simulated drowning”, it reminds me of our siumlated torturer-in-chief (and unindicted war criminal), Mr. Bush.

For the Dem House Speaker Pelosi to have said that “impeachment is off the table” 1 2 3 tells us that her opposition to BushCo is not genuine, and that she probably is the current reigning Queen Of Collusion!

Honest Dem Test:  will you(r candidate) question Bush’s 9/11 confession statements?

Unfortunately economic indicators are necessarily retrospective, so you may be right.  Or we may be in a recession and not know it yet.

Seriously. In the White House halls, would someone please just headbutt the president? His daddy can come pick him up, the taxpayers will pay him anyway, but this potato head will finally know what it’s like to be knocked down!

The US economy is, in fact, still growing.  The rate of growth has slowed, what one might call a “slowdown”, but it is growing.  A recession is when something recedes, or falls back, reverses, goes negative.  Are we clear??

The US version of the ‘British Disease’...... but, oh, its been happening for the past 20 years, uhh http://www.vdare.com/pb/cultural_causes_review.htm

Mr. Barnett’s explanation for Britain’s decline is essentially cultural. The working class was brutalized by the Industrial Revolution, he says, and the upper classes were seduced by visions of pre-industrial gentility. Technical education was neglected and Britain’s postwar loans were diverted into grandiose “New Jerusalem” social programs instead of industrial revival. Mr. Barnett views the moralistic contribution of the Christian churches with a particular contempt......
