  • Good News Film Reviews Movie Meme

    MCF tagged me on this Good News Film Reviews Movie Meme so I figured I should surprise him and actually do this thing. I probably won’t tag anyone else since it’d be less embarrassing than tagging and have no one respond.

  • Obama: President of the Harvard Law Review

    This has come up enough times that I thought I should say something about it. Folk like to raise the Obama Harvard Law Review thing to prove scholarly level of intelligence and qualification.

(HT: Daniel) Obama said he could “pay for every dime” of his spending and tax cut proposals “by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens.” That’s wrong – his proposed tax increases on upper-income individuals are key components of…
