Propagnada vs. Data
Pelosi exposed at The Corner:
Doing something, anything, to stop the pain of the current recession, no matter what its structural effects on the economy, might seem practical, but it is not.

Hopey-Changey
Don't miss more classic Steyn. Tragic Comedy. Brilliant. (National Review)
Maybe it’s time for President Obama to come out and give one of his big hopey-changey speeches. It’s been a few weeks now, and I kinda miss them. You know—“We are the change we’ve been waiting for.” “We have nothing to hope for but hope itself.” “Ask not what your hope can change for you, ask what you can hope for your change.” Etc.

Remember the Rule
Ace:
Remember the rule. When a dirty leak harms Democrats, the media focuses on the dirtiness of the leak and barely even mentions the damaging information the leak disclosed.
But when a dirty leak harms Republicans, they focus on the substance of the leaked information and don't question at all the propriety of the leak.

Lost Decade
Rep. Leader McConnell warns. (Malkin)
“We have another example.
“What is called in Japan the Lost Decade of the 1990’s, where stimulus packages similar to the one we’re considering tonight were tried again, and again, and again. And, at the end of the 1990’s, Japan, looked very much like it did at the beginning of the 1990’s, except that it had a much larger debt.

Presidential?
I recall another famous leader who used to whoop his supports into a frenzy... oops, can't mention that now can I. Gonna be a long four years.
Lords of Government
Interesting reading of Jerry Pournelle. Read beyond this passage for more insight into The Government. (via, Instapundit)
The tax cut provision of the "stimulus bill" seem aimed at solidifying party control: most of it is transfer payments to people who don't now pay taxes. In the US 40% don't pay federal taxes. If any large number of those are given money as transfer payments they will learn to rely on them. At which point they will be motivated to vote. And community organizers will see that they do vote. Now understand: many of those who get negative income taxes do necessary work and they aren't very well paid. The question becomes, is that a federal problem, and should it be dealt with by transfer payments? Because once this is instituted, it's going to be pretty permanent. Those affected by it will be mobilized to defend it, and it will mean more to them than it does to those opposed. So it goes.

White House to Run Census.. Hmm...
Where do I begin.... He appoints Gregg then takes this away from his department? "There's nothing to see here. Move along." CQ via Instapundit
--------------
The director of the Census Bureau will report directly to the White House and not the secretary of Commerce, according to a senior White House official.
The decision came after black and Hispanic leaders raised questions about Commerce Secretary nominee Judd Gregg ’s commitment to funding the census.
