Under The Marble Arch
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009

Philosopher's Corner

"With their memories of the sixties, when to be young was very heaven, they still believe that an oppositional stance in pursuit of perfection is virtuous in itself—indeed, is the prime or sole content of virtue. And it is this belief that renders them interesting to Hollander, for it makes genuine moral reflection about the nature of various governments and policies impossible. It transforms merely personal discontents into matters of supposedly great general importance."

-Theodore Dalrymple on Paul Hollander: The Only Superpower: Reflections on Strength, Weakness, and Anti-Americanism

There's Nothing Like It

DateTuesday, December 9, 2008 at 11:47AM

Nothing, NOTHING, perks me up like the sound of clicking handcuffs in the morning.

I'm going to sit back with my elevenes repast (organic mandarin vanilla chai and a few Almondinas) and listen to all of Blago's bleeping. PaddyFitz: "These were his words, not our characterization, except for the bleeping."

Apparently the bleeping is mostly effing.

One of the signs of corruption is that Blago was shopping around for a $150K directorship for his wife, and according to PaddyFitz, this is corruption. That reminds me of this. Money quote (really!):

Michelle Obama is on leave from her job while her husband campaigns for president, but after Barack was elected to congress, she received a big raise.

USA Today reports that officials at the University of Chicago Hospitals told the Chicago Tribune that Michelle is "worth her weight in gold."

"She's terrific," added Michael Riordan, who was president of the hospital in March 2005, when Michelle Obama was promoted to vice president for external affairs and had her annual salary increased from $121,910 to $316,962.

So, 20% is her cut.
