Interesting observations on Obama’s inauguration speech by Yuval Levin writing at the Corner in The Inauguration: The most problematic parts of the speech, for me, had to do with the theme that always bothers me at such occasions: the dismissal of political differences as insignificant and petty products of irresponsibility, rather than of serious and […]

Those who have read Ayn Rand’s classic novel, Atlas Shrugged, cannot help but notice that the current government-created-and-exacerbated economic “crisis” looks and sounds just like the plot of Rand’s book which was first published in 1957, 52 years ago.

Folks, it’s going to be a long four (or, God help us eight) years because this kind of affirmative-action/race-based, politically-correct BULLSHIT is going to get awfully tiring.
