Rewriting History - Clinton’s Balanced Budget? No, Gingrich’s Balanced Budget!

This always irritates me. When the MSM doesn’t like how things happen they resort to to the practice of simply imagining things the way it suits them and writing that as news. It’s a tactic as old as history. But with the advent of the Internet it’s getting harder.

It Must Be the Air.

When David Brooks started writing in the NYT I thought he was, not a conservative, but someone slightly right of center. After reading his latest I am starting to think that there is some time of mind altering substance in the atmosphere at the newspaper.

The Only Surprise Here Is That The AP Analyzed And Reported It.

STIMULUS WATCH: Unemployment unchanged by projects - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON – A federal spending surge of more than $20 billion for roads and bridges in President Barack Obama’s first stimulus has had no effect on local unemployment rates, raising questions about his argument for billions more to address an “urgent need to accelerate job growth.”
