For this evening’s Texas themed entertainment we present George Strait – Big Balls In Cowtown
Progressive Credentialism
For the handful of hardworking 20 somethings who did their best in college, but can’t understand why their employers have them file and fax:
“My ability (and desire) to do today as a percentage of what I could and was willing to do 18 years ago I would say is about 20%. I’ve lost, as far as I can in my estimation, about 80% of my worth as an employee. But this has nothing to do with me or my previous hard work ethic. It has to do with progressive credentialism.”

I built this, Mr. President
As someone struggling with my own business, going through the pictures was inspiring.
Thanks, Bristol.
Wow.

It was for the kids…
TorStar: Longshaw is adamant that her little barbecue kiddie party was co-opted by interlopers unknown to her. Police sources, however, say it’s not uncommon for organizers to disguise booze-infused “blockos’’ as children’s parties to avoid police shutting them down before they get started.
Nat.Post: Before bullets tore through a community barbecue in Scarborough, leaving two dead and more than 20 injured, the event, which attracted more than 200 youth, was advertised as a Hennessy Block Party by the organizer.
Yeah…Forgive our skepticism.
How to control Illegal Immigration?
An Important Lesson Barack Obama Clearly Missed
John Kass is a columnist for the Chicago Tribune. He’s also the son of a Greek immigrant. After hearing Barack Obama’s attack against businesspeople the other day, he decided it was important to respond:
There was no federal bailout money for us. No Republican corporate welfare. No Democratic handouts. No bipartisan lobbyists working the angles. No Tony Rezkos. No offshore accounts. No Obama bucks.
Just two immigrant brothers and their families risking everything, balancing on the economic high wire, building a business in America. They sacrificed, paid their bills, counted pennies to pay rent and purchase health care and food and not much else. And for their troubles they were muscled by the politicos, by the city inspectors and the chiselers and the weasels, all those smiling extortionists who held the government hammer over all of our heads.
Those Moderate Muslims!
Reader Tips
This evening I’m checking in from Houston, on the last leg of a grueling dog show circuit through the Lone Star State. So for tonight’s entertainment, an obvious selection – Deep In the Heart Of Texas. Your tips in the comments.
We Don’t Need No Stinking Sparky Cars
Germany wants to put one million electric cars on the road by 2020 but is falling a wee bit short – to date there are about 4500 such cars clogging up the autobahns. And maybe that’s a good thing….

“You Didn’t Build That”
The Decline And Fall Of The American Empire
In other words, according to plan.
Obamanomics reached the bottom of the barrel last month, when more Americans went on disability than found jobs. That is, apparently, the end point of the welfare state.
The children were their future
Gaza is empirical proof that John Lennon was a buzzed out, whack job.

Democratic math
So, really, that would be like 471,000 jobs created, right?
Next week’s announcement?
Will probably be how Obama shores up pensions by raiding Medicare.
Isn’t it interesting, though that Obama moved the red numbers from a plan to insure private pensions, in order to pay for private student debt.

It’s Probably Nothing
In the ballpark
Modeling error due to ignoring cloud effects may be 216 times larger than the alleged effect of doubling CO2 concentrations
Okay, so it’s an inexact science…
