No money, no problem

He could have a point

Apparently Bill Maher thinks the US is a stupid country. I'd like to answer that statement with an unequivocal "Hell No!" But this is the country that produced Bill Maher. And made him a celebrity. And elected a man president whose only accomplishment is giving a speech at the 2004 Democrat convention. OK, maybe the US is occasionally stupid.

Reality bites

Here are a couple of items I saw linked at the Drudge Report this morning:

California’s Nightmare Will Kill Obamanomics: Kevin Hassett

The federal picture is so bleak because the Obama administration is the most fiscally irresponsible in the history of the U.S. I would imagine that he would be the intergalactic champion as well, if we could gather the data on deficits on other worlds. Obama has taken George W. Bush’s inattention to deficits and elevated it to an art form.

Well, we can only hope it'll be killed before it (further) bankrupts the country.


And on the climate change front, check out the June weather stats for NYC. I guess this is what Al Gore would call an inconvenient truth.
