Holman W. Jenkins, Jr., in the Journal, notes just how well the Obama Administration has done in turning the economy around.

Banks continue to fail at an alarming rate, the dollar is under assault, and Washington is looking at a future of trillion-dollar deficits. One might have guessed it would take a decade of Obamanomics to produce European welfare state levels of youth unemployment, but at 18.5% we’re there.

Very different types of political whores
And you’d better not forget it. Some things transcend partisan ID, political party, ideology and the rest, not the least of which is the class solidarity of the stinking Inside the Beltway elite. Alan Grayson didn’t say they should all be lined up against a wall and shot; he probably wouldn’t even agree with that as an excellent way to help get the country back on a good footing– especially because there actually are some good one in the lot.Source: DownWithTyranny!

It is bad enough that a hurricane swept through the Clear Lake area causing record damage to homes, but now a homeowners association is going after those who re-roofed their homes with the wrong color of shingle. It’s unreasonable action like this that makes homeowners refer to HOAs as “Nazis”.
Pineloch Community Association
The Pineloch Community in Clear Lake has about 2000 homes ranging from $150,000 to about $250,000. The community is over 20 years old. Hurricane Ike was ourSource: Bay Area Houston RSS Feed

I went to the 350 SLC rally today in a less hopeful frame of mind. After all, according to at least one poll, the well-funded denial campaign has made a dent in the number of people who accept the reality of global warming. And here was a group of young Salt Lakers who thought that heads of state gathering in Copenhagen this December were actually going to pay attention to them.

I came back more hopeful. The speakers, poets and singers lifted my spirits. Nichole Dunn, the deputy mayor Source: One Utah RSS Feed

Erick covered the Q-Poll showing that Charlie Crist’s once-formidable lead over Marco Rubio had been more than cut in half.  Today, the bad news for the Crist Campaign continued as Rasmussen released a poll confirming that Rubio has shaved more than 20 points off Crist’s lead. The poll also confirmed that Crist’s support is very soft and that his lead is due almost entirely to unfamiliarity with Rubio:

ICH | According to reports, the US Marines in Afghanistan use 800,000 gallons of gasoline per day. At $400 per gallon, that comes to a $320,000,000 daily fuel bill for the Marines alone. Only a country totally out of control would squander resources in this way.
While the US government squanders $400 per gallon of gasoline in order to kill women and children in Afghanistan, many millions of Americans have lost their jobs and their homes and are experiencing the kind of misery that isSource: subrealism RSS Feed

From Irish Central:
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a large gathering of footballers from the Shannon Gaels club and their families in Queens on Saturday, October 17, that it is “time Queens had an Irish football field.”
Bloomberg, who attended the first annual Shannon Gaels field day at Sunnyside Gardens, said, “We are in very early stages of the process but we are cautiously optimistic that we can get it (a GAA pitch) done.”

“[I] went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin, and instead she talked to Greta. … But maybe she’ll talk to me now that she has a book deal,” Oprah Winfrey, last December.

That was an Andrew Sullivan quote of the day. I’m guessing Palin on Oprah is old news to TMV readers by now. A tit-for-tat; Palin’s book is out the day after her eagerly awaited Nov 16 appearance on the show. Which just happens to fall plumb in the middle of the November sweeps.
