I just did my morning perusal of Powerline to discover via Steven Hayward that Christopher Hitchens, atheist and realist, has passed. I'll have more to say about this in the days to come - a lot actually, which is an urge I have anytime an atheist assumes room temperature - but I had to share this quote (via Hayward's review of one of his essays) regarding New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The great Victor Davis Hanson does a great job of spelling out the many ways Obama's Messiah Complex was a complete sham from the beginning.Of course, if you are a frequent patron here at Jeff's Garage and Ale House, you'll recall we did nothing but lay this out in detail from early 2008 to early 2009. In short, with all due respect to my friend VDH, we've already taken this course.Good reading,

Say what you want about his chances and his experience/knowledge in foreign affairs, the man is a god when it comes to Obama's biggest weakness: understanding Free Markets, how they work, and what motivates people. To make the charge that Obama has never run anything in his life in a business sense is completely accurate. You can never say that about Herman Cain, former CEO of Godfathers

I'll put more up in a day or two, but this from Actor Gary Sinese sums up the world we live in very very well:"But what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, was a call to action for many jihadists out there who eat, sleep, breathe, live, seven-days-a-week, 365 days-a-year dreaming and thinking of how they can bring down the United States, so we can’t let our guard down.

Good stuff, an article entitled "What If the President Liked Businesspeople?" Bold emphasis mine. "After nearly three years of blaming, apologizing, and explaining what America cannot and should not do, it is past time for a confident President Obama to remind the country that we can do almost anything we wish.

Steven Hayward, writing over at the great Powerline blog, shows the way, with a great piece on one of my all time favorite politicians, Calvin Coolidge.A couple of Obama-like self indulgent thoughts, if I may.Frequent

Bold emphasis mine from his recent deficit speech:"The tax cuts I’m proposing we get rid of are tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires; tax breaks for oil companies and hedge fund managers and corporate jet owners."In other words, I'm going to spur economic growth by targeting the tax breaks enjoyed by those who have the capital to invest and spur said economic growth.

The President's June 22nd Speech regarding the American commitment in Afghanistan left me with one question after hearing this single sentence. This single sentence that I speak of is the Thesis Statement of the entire speech, and it goes like this:"America, it is time to focus on nation building here at home."And, to use an often cliched sentence here at JGAH, "I am forced to ask the question":

It's true that both sides of the aisle have people who go overboard with bumper stickers. And I think we can all agree that nothing makes a person look more like an unstable psycho that a ton of opinionated bumper stickers on their car (to say nothing about how bad it would make an otherwise nice car look).But my observation - the Left has more loons that love the bumper sticker.

ht Andrew Breitbart's biggovernment.com. Repeal of the healthcare bill HAS to be item number one if the Republicans retake control of the House. The repeal will certainly have its struggles in the Senate, and if by some miracle it makes it through that chamber, it will be impossible to overturn Obama's veto. But, we should still keep pressing the issue.

Some quick thoughts that have been on my mind:I've stated before that we as Republicans are going to blow a golden opportunity to take advantage of the poor approval of Congress, and the backlash against ObamaCare, if we do not have a unifying message ala 1994.

Once again, I find myself apologizing for the absence. Its inexcusable, too, with everything that is going on in the world. I have to be honest, I'm just backing away for a while to regroup.

Der Spiegel recently interviewed Charles Krauthammer (ht to iowntheworld.com) on a variety of Obama-related subjects. Krauthammer, in typical fashion, handled himself extremely well and the interview was a good read. I found myself, however, disappointed a little bit - just a little - with some of his answers. So I answered the questions myself; almost reposted from the Krauthammer interview

John Hinderaker closes a very good piece at Powerline this evening with this:"...the Nobel Prize Committee embarrassed itself by awarding its Peace Prize to a President who, by his own admission, hasn't done anything yet. The award was, at best, a prediction."I think this accurately sums up what others have said about Barack Obama's receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize. The nomination process ended

Eric Singer posting at American Thinker makes the case that I've been making throughout the health care debate here. Private Insurers can't compete with a government that prints money and hasn't had to balance its books for years. The mandates in Sen. Max Baucus's bill will make it virtually impossible for private sector insurers to compete. One other thing, to address Obama's analogy of the

I was lying in bed this morning thinking about Friedman's praise for the Autocrats on their "environmental example". My immediate thought was, "What?

Why should the US cut its throat if the two

Not surprisingly, the President is contradicting himself. Not verbally, necessarily, but if you look at this health care debate logically, you can see it for yourself.He starts off this sound bite above by "countering" the "absurd notion" that under HR 3200 "illegal immigrants are to be covered." Problem with this claim: the Bill as it is written, has no verification mechanism to ensure those

Lets pretend that Hell has frozen over: The Cubs win the 2009 NL Pennant and find themselves locked in a Game 7 of this year's World Series. You finally pick yourself up off the floor and tune in.Its the bottom of the ninth, two outs and the game is tied. Bases are full of Cubs at Wrigley. History can be made here, as Derrick Lee stands in against Mariano Rivera. Rivera, gambling that Lee

Remember Bill Clinton, in early 1993? Regarding your middle class tax cut and the fact that he "would not raise taxes on the middle class to pay for (his) programs"? He said:"I had hoped to invest in your future by creating jobs, expanding education, reforming health care, and reducing the deficit without asking more of you. And I’ve worked harder than I’ve ever worked in my life to meet that

A Chicagoland bank is running a radio commercial during Cubs broadcasts asking "What's your definition of Financial Security", with different people in the spot responding with things such as "my son's college education paid for" or "enough money to retire comfortably."

I purposely lay off environmentalism somewhat because its one of the topics I'm not 100% versed in. Lets say, however, that it should come as no surprise that I am DEEPLY skeptical of a lot of the hysteria that comes from environmentalism, and their unwillingness to listen to any dissent from their religion, shutting down debate in an almost Stalinist fashion.And you can imagine when, courtesy

Comrades! Great and Glorious Leader is now enshrined around City Hall with a NEW BANNER! Two weeks after the inauguration, Viceroy Daley has gotten around to swapping out one knob-slobbering image around City Hall for another one! Isn't it great, my fellow laborers in the new order, to know that our elected President is being enshrined like Che Guevara or Josef Stalin on our public buildings?

Somebody was very... prescient? Is that the word I'm looking for? This headline reminds me of someone saying this, recounting a dream.In late fall of 2009, Pakistani President Musharrif is assassinated in anIslamist coup, and President Obama can do nothing but watch. Now Islamistmilitants are in control of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, and by late winter of2010, Iran has detonated its first nuclear

I’ve long discussed on these pages making time to do a send off of President George W. Bush. I’ve been so busy with other things I’ve kinda fallen away from focusing on JG&AH. I figured I’d take a few minutes this evening to give him the send off that he deserves, parroting a lot of good things I’m reading over at National Review Online.I’m really disappointed in a lot of the decisions GWB made

Folks, for the longest time on these pages, I've referred - rightfully - to the American Mainstream Media (MSM) as the "Useful Idiots". This was mostly due to the fact that they seemed to be perfectly content with being complete tools of Islamofascists, so long as damage was done to the sitting Republican President. Well, now a Change (to coin a term) is taking place. When you hit the sack

Greetings, Comrades. Good health to you in the Name of Comrade Barack Obama. I write this communique to you from my office window, overlooking Great and Glorious City Hall, where Viceroy R.

Scott Johnson at Powerline has a good piece from a couple of professors from London and UVA regarding last night's finale of "House of Saddam", but HBO/BBC.

We need to go back to Reagan Republicanism - Conservatism 1.0. There's nothing wrong with the original version. Our problem is that we are trying to replace Conservatism 1.0 with the political

I've heard many good things about the band 3 Doors Down - they've done much charity work on behalf of the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and, at the risk of sounding biased, they are the epitome of Southern Class. That is, they are men who see themselves as proud Americans (check out their live album Another 700 Miles, when they introduce the song "Love Me When I'm Gone") and, rather than act as
