For those who think any change is better than what we have now. For those who believe things couldn't possibly get worse. Thomas Sowell reminds us grown-ups not to suspend disbelief in basic wisdom -- like math.

A search of Thomas, the Library of Congress Web site that tracks legislation, shows that H.R. 1, the economic stimulus bill known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, was formally introduced in the House on Jan. 26.

We Are Stuck With Sotomayor

This comes as a blow to me, and it's a win for Obama. I knew from what others said that it was going to happen. The sad thing is; it's apt to happen again, maybe more than once. We have a judge that considers her mind to be superior to the mind of a white male.

Justice David Souter's retirement from the Supreme Court presents President Barack Obama with his first opportunity to appoint someone to the High Court. People who are speculating about whether the next nominee will be a woman, a Hispanic or whatever, are missing the point.

That President Obama has made "empathy" with certain groups one of his criteria for choosing a Supreme Court nominee is a dangerous sign of how much further the Supreme Court may be pushed away from the rule of law and toward even more arbitrary judicial edicts to advance the age …

While the rest of us may be worried about violent Mexican drug gangs on our border, or about terrorists who are going to be released from Guantanimo, the Director of Homeland Security is worried about "right-wing extremists." Just who are these right-wing extremists?

| China is the largest foreign holder of U.S. government bonds. But, instead of buying more of those bonds as our skyrocketing national debt leads to more bonds being issued, China has been selling some of its U.S. government bonds this year.

Someone once said that, for every rookie you have on your starting team in the National Football League, you will lose a game. Somewhere, at some time during the season, a rookie will make a mistake that will cost you a game.

In the name of "change," Barack Obama is following policies so old that this generation has never heard of them-- certainly not in most of our educational institutions, where history has been replaced by "social studies" or other politically correct courses.

Another brilliant piece by Thomas Sowell. This one is about "affordable housing" and the spin that the government, in all its infinite wisdom and policies, has made this mean. One of the most powerful statements made in this article is the following:
