Wal-Mart Sale on Black Barbies
More evidence that the election of Barack Obama has not led us into a golden age of post-racism:
Walmart: Black Barbie Sold Cheaper Than White Barbie
Walmart is raising eyebrows after cutting the price of a black Barbie doll to nearly half of that of the doll's white counterpart at one store and possibly others.
So this blatant racism might possibly be occuring at other stores?

Greeks Crumbling Under Socialism
In case you had not yet heard, Greece is slipping deeper into insolvency, and the socialist / unionists of the country are going on strike. It's all just so, so sad. The cradle of Western Civilization, laid low by unionized workers.
O to Meet With GOP
A few weeks back President Obama (aka The Worst President in American History) proposed that Democrats and Republicans sit down and discuss how best to solve America's healthcare 'crisis'.
From the linked NYT article:
President Obama said Sunday that he would convene a half-day bipartisan health care session at the White House to be televised live this month, a high-profile gambit that will allow Americans to watch as Democrats and Republicans try to break their political impasse.
Televised? Will it be televised in the same way the ObamaCare bill was televised, as Obama promised on at least eight ocassions during his 2008 campaign? That kind of televised event? For those who haven't been paying attention, Obama broke that promise. The bills put together by Congressional Democrats were drafted behind closed doors, with no cameras, no CNN coverage, and -- natch, no Republicans.
Rep. Clyburn: "We've Got To Spend Our Way Out of Recession!"
Nothing illustrates the massive gulf of understanding that exists between the Left and Right than Rep. James Clyburn's (D-SC) recent declaration that the only way to grow the economy is by going deeply into debt.
"We're not going to save our way out of this recession," the majority whip added. "We've got to spend our way out of this recession, and I think most economists know that."
I challenge Clyburn to produce evidence of a civilization that taxed itself into prosperity.
Adam Smith
"Every man, as long as he does not violate the laws of justice, is left perfectly free to pursue his own interest his own way, and to bring both his industry and capital into competition with those of any other man or order of men."
Milton Friedman
"Freedom in economic arrangements is itself a component of freedom broadly understood, so economic freedom is an end in itself ... Economic freedom is also an indispensable means toward the achievement of political freedom."
Alan Greenspan
"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. ... This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."
David Mamet #3
"Hollywood is capitalism at its best: opposing forces working it out, using tools of the marketplace. As such, it`s vastly messier than totalitarianism, but it kills a lot less people."
WholeFoods CEO Offers Carrot to Hippie Customers, Gets Stick Instead
Hippies were 'outraged' (for real this time) upon discovering that WholeFoods CEO John Mackey isn't a filthy socialist.
The grocery store known for selling organic food (that's food produced using feudal era farming methods, i.e. no pesticides, etc.) had the audacity to post an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal prefaced by a quote from the last real man in Great Britain, former prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
Obama Slams U.S. Post Office!
St. Barack gave a press conference earlier today, and the President predictably did the following:
- Lamented that opponents of ObamaCare are 'scaring' people with disinformation.
- Proceeded to terrify people about what will happen if ObamaCare is not passed.
