Obamateurism of the Day

Ed Morrissey — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:05:44 +0000

Is Gruber the Armstrong Williams of the Obama administration?

Ed Morrissey — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 14:25:30 +0000

When it turned out that Armstrong Williams took money from the Bush administration to espouse its education policies in his columns, a torrent of condemnations resulted for his failure to disclose his financial relationship with the White House. That scorn came from both Left and Right, including myself, and I made the point that government-paid shills hiding in the media amounted to a propaganda campaign that Americans should never tolerate.

AIP Column: Populist Plutophobes

Ed Morrissey — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:17:47 +0000

My new AIP column expands on the point I made earlier this week about markets and rationing — a response to the retort du jour that government rationing of health care is no big deal because “we already have rationing” with insurance companies. All markets are rationing devices, with price assigned as a representation of the tension between the relative value of the goods or services and the demand for them. Only items of infinite supply, like air and sunshine, don’t get rationed, although cap-and-trade can be described as an attempt to ration the former. Markets give a rational basis of distribution based on demand, supply, and means for limited goods and services. [...] Read the rest »

Chrysler lenders revealed

Ed Morrissey — Wed, 06 May 2009 18:55:34 +0000

We have two more updates to the Chrysler bankruptcy story, neither particularly surprising but rather depressing nonetheless. First, the bankruptcy court has revealed the list of senior creditors objecting to the deal the Obama administration attempted to cram down their throats through threats of public attacks. How long before someone arranges another AIG-style rich-hunt (h/t HA reader Geoff A)? [...] Read the rest »
