Excerpts from some eminently sensible solutions by financial insider Epicurean Dealmaker. Read them all.

Little Green Footballs used to be virulently almost poisonously right wing. But Charles Johnson changed. He just posted ten reasons Why I Parted Ways With The Right, saying “The American right wing has gone off the rails, into [...]

“O=W” is a bumper sticker beginning to show up on liberals’ cars. After the President’s speech Tuesday night at West Point, I suspect it will spread rapidly.
It should not come as a surprise. [...]
The unemployment report this morning showed a slight increase in employment. However all of that was in the service sector and probably is from seasonal hiring for the holidays.
[...]The truth about Prince may be orders of magnitude stranger than fiction. For the past six years, he appears to have led an astonishing double life. Publicly, he has served as Blackwater’s C.E.O. and chairman. Privately, and secretly, he has been doing the C.I.A.’s bidding, helping to [...]
THIS is the real threat. It's music and noise that are causing natural disasters. We have proof. Don't be a denier! Take a look at our graphs and statistics. Green jobs are useless. We need quiet jobs. Carbon credits? Useless, but you'll soon be getting noise credits from Uncle [...]
So I had dinner at a friend's house last night. She works hard (caring for mentally challenged people in a facility), but of course doesn't make a lot (she only has a Master's degree). She tells a story about how she went to the bank to be sure she had' [...]
When I use Firefox the CPU meter goes way up, and the fan runs constantly. Sometimes when I am watching a YouTube the computer just shuts itself off. If I run Firefox and Skype at the same time I have to anticipate the shutdown.
Does anyone else have this problem?

WASHINGTON – In his weekly address, President Obama said the jobs numbers released yesterday indicate that the job loss trend is improving, but that his administration remains committed to accelerating these trends and putting more Americans [...]
In the wake of the publication of the East Anglia e-mails, information strengthening the case of global warming skeptics has been coming to light at such a rapid pace than even the most dedicated followers of this debate can barely keep track of the data coming to light. Al Gore [...]
I think this is a significant post from Natasha, who is on her way to Copenhagen to cover the climate treaty talks: Is China Still A Developing Nation? | OurFuture.org
The details of climate treaties are complex and wonky, but important. There is a "Clean Development Mechanism" in the [...]
FYI: Zuma Dogg, Frank Sheftel, David Hernandez ALL endorse Chris Essel, as does Dennis Zine, Bill Rosendahl, Carmen Trutanich, Police Protective League -- JOEL WACHS -- and I hear KRLA's Kevin James tells listeners to vote for Essel between the two. (Richard Alarcon endorses Paul Krekorian. [...]

Running against brain dead Barbara Boxer, Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlitt-Packard, would be a Senator to be proud of instead of embarrassed and ashamed.
Pass this link and embed along. Every woman and man would have to see the conviction and sincerity and intelligence of this woman.

...But it still can't bring itself to admit there are reputable scientists who dispute the core theory of anthropogenic global climate change (AGCC).
In its article today, the WaPo finally raises the issue of Climategate -- gingerly, and with great sensitivity to the feelings of the climate hystericos:
Except now, much' [...]
I was on KQED’s “This Week in Northern California” last night to talk about the Machiavellian machinations behind choosing the next Lieutenant Governor and the next Assembly Speaker.
I didn’t have time for a Perez-related anecdote. At least one prominent Democratic strategist shopped around the idea this week that – just [...]
The ten-year estimate of ObamaCare costs come in under one trillion dollars, because the legislation envisions taxing Americans for several years to support ObamaCare before ObamaCare services begin. That is, ObamaCare would accumulate hundreds of billions of dollars as a fund before being drawn upon to pay the costs of [...]
Jim Lindgren has two interesting posts (here and here) on how the Hockey Stick was constructed and the various manipulations that accompanied it, along with the resistance/refusal to release the underlying data.
For what it is worth, I have previously looked at the Wikipedia entry on the Hockey [...]
When I heard my gal* Carly explain how government regulation makes it difficult for entrepreneurs and employers to create new enterprises and expand existing businesses, I became increasingly enthusiastic about her run for the Senator. Like the Gipper (and yours truly), she understands that government is not the [...]
Few commentators have talked about Obama's rhetorical powers in the past half year or so. Rather, many observers are annoyed by his rhetorical mannerisms. Left media mention no more thrills going up their legs. A black woman complained typically of his Father's Day Speech, that Obama's conversation with the black community [...]
That's the bottom line - their editorial board decided to back up the rantings Peter Hill. I posted Hill's self-centered rant that he blasted out to several people the other day. Hill and others are angry at the Central Committee for involving itself in the affairs of local government. I [...]

Wonder if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will ever take responsibility for her own mistakes. The “so-called stimulus” isn’t creating the jobs she and her fellow Democrats promised so she vows to spend even more of our money on similar government schemes.
It’s like hiring a guy to do magic incantations to [...]
The three daughters of Panda Express cofounders Andrew and Peggy Cherng – Andrea, an attorney; Michelle , an intern at the family’s Chinese fast-food empire; and Nicole, a student – each gave $25,000 last Monday to Republican Meg Whitman’s gubernatorial campaign. The parents gave $51,800 back in [...]
"Elvis was a hero to most."
-- Chuck D.
According to Cecil Adams, this is true. But was Elvis better? No.
This question is tangential to an N-Word conversation that never ceases, and since I recorded a YouTube on it a few years back, I'm somewhat bound to answer recurrent questions. Part' [...]
Emeryville-based Amyris Biotechnologies Inc. will get a $25 million grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for a pilot plant producing renewable fuel – a diesel substitute – by fermenting sweet sorghum.
The Energy Department doled out $564 million yesterday to 19 such bio-refinery projects nationwide; Amyris [...]
This film is so unbelievably awful that I'm glad I stole it. Well, I didn't exactly steal it. I got it for free from a friend who ripped it. I don't know how he ripped it, but I'm glad as hell he did the normal version rather than the sort [...]
Today she threw out a tidbit that the lobbying firm of Nossaman LLP, where Dick Ackerman works, was paid $19,070.20 for their work on behalf of the [...]
I'm looking for a new wallpaper for my windows desktop. I ambled across a Picaso and then went to Guernica. It reminded me that my cousin had a very large print on his wall in Brooklyn, and I suppose that says a bit about my cousin and my family. I' [...]
In his weekend video/radio address, President Barack Obama, noting that the best employment numbers in more than a year provide cold comfort, says he will keep pushing for economic recovery.

He has received his daily intelligence and economic briefings in [...]
On Tuesday, December 1, 2009, I posted here on RedCounty regarding the Speaker contest, which is now becoming a two man contest between Assemblymembers John Perez and Kevin De Leon.
It is now clear that the issue of Assemblyman John Perez's sexual orientation will play a role in the fight as to who will [...]
