The Quintessential #Not2008Anymore Photo


This photo of the Obama’s big campaign kickoff rally in Ohio is making the rounds on Twitter.




#not2008anymore indeed.

Aside from the fact that the president has tried to divide Americans by class, ethnicity, religion, income, gender and other arbitrary segments, the critical factor in his political meltdown is clear.

He is an epic failure, from the economy to the "Arab Spring". Jimmy Carter breathes a little easier each night, knowing that he's only the second worst president in history.

I've dipped my toe into the Twitterverse.

#Julia is getting a huge amount of negative tweets... some quite funny.

here is how the new york times stock price is doing relative to murdoch's news corp (owner of the wsj starting in 2007) since 2007. these are inconvenient stock charts for keller to tell us about, so i thought i would.

i am sorry, but it appears if one is not a subscriber to stockcharts.com, these charts only show about three years. my charts went through 2006, but they won't display that way for me unless i am logged in. thus i expect you might experience the same issue. i am sorry about that. however the charts you can see since 2009 are accurate.


since 2007 simple math would say 3.2 x 100% = 320% outperformance by murdoch's news corp over the nyt from this ratio of the stock prices chart.

this is the nws stock chart since 2007.

Well, Obama may make that woman feel secure, but he disgusts, revolts and terrifies me. That kind of generalization is not smart.

My own experience is similar from when I was in Berlin in 92.

This is West Berlin in 1992:



This is East Berlin in 92:

Astonishing, but actually very simple. If no one has any incentive to work, no work is done and decay sets in. That's one important. difference between Communism/Socialism and Capitalism.

Yes, you have to acknowledge the effective destructiveness of a system that can impoverish Germans and make them live in squalor.

First the environmentalists wanted to ban paper bags because they were made from wood-----to save trees.

The plastic bag idea was their idea.

Now the 21st century environmentalists want to ban plastic bags.

Will we go back to paper bags-----or everyone having cloth bags that get dirty and contaminated
and require water and soap to wash-----if they get washed.?
