For 17 months, anger at President Obama and congressional Democrats has been pooling on the left. On Tuesday morning, it spilled onto the floor of an Omni Shoreham ballroom and splashed all over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The celebrated San Francisco liberal took the stage to greet what should have been a friendly audience: the annual [...] ATHENS—Three people were killed in an apparent firebomb attack on a bank in central Athens Wednesday as a massive protest against recent Greek austerity measures turned violent and angry youths rampaged through the city center torching several businesses, smashing shop windows and overturning garbage bins via Three Killed in Fire as Strikes Grip Greece – WSJ.com. With [...] Prime Minister George Papandreou said Sunday that Greece had reached an agreement with the International Monetary Fund and the European Union on a long-delayed rescue package that is expected to be worth as much as €120 billion. The deal aims to help the country avoid debt default and prevent economic contagion from spreading throughout the [...] There will be a lot fewer Reds parading through municipal squares this year, as with every year since 1989. I’m sure they will be marching in Venezuela, at least those that can afford to with runaway inflation and shortages of critical goods and services. If you see anyone parading in your neighborhood, be kind and try [...] Every day for the past three months, government-programmed blackouts have meant the lights flicker and go dark in a city that once bustled with commerce. And Fifth Street, with its auto parts stores and car repair shops, has ground to a halt. “We just stop,” said Jesus Yanis, who paints cars. “We don’t work.” Neither does the [...] With a crucial 60th vote in the Senate at stake, the perceived tightening has sent Democratic operatives scrambling to Massachusetts to help the Coakley campaign and has prompted groups on both sides of the aisle to bombard the state with advertising.

She first alleged she was misquoted and then, when video emerged, took refuge behind “irony”. To no avail. Of course, Obama and the Missus took office after swimming in [...] Ronald Reagan “won” the final stage of the Cold War by keeping up the military and economic pressures on the Soviet Union until they realized, exhausted, that they could not continue. Like the Germans in 1918, stalemate turned to total collapse almost overnight. As recently as April of this year, President Obama assured the Czechs and [...] President Hugo Chávez says some golf courses could be better used for the poor. After a brief tirade against the sport by the president on national television last month, pro-Chávez officials have moved in recent weeks to shut down two of the country’s best-known golf courses, in Maracay, a city of military garrisons near here, and [...] More clenching, not less. Two Akula-class Russian attack subs are patrolling off the east coast of the US in their closest approach in 15 years. The Akulas are not ballistic missile subs, but they can monitor our naval activity and communications. They are the equivalent of our Los Angeles-class subs. My nephew ran the power plant [...] |
