Obama's Cloud-Based Transparency - HUMAN EVENTS
It's clear as mud. This president's claims to be the most open administration in history are bogus. Countless examples of what Ms. Malkin describes have been reported, and yet the president's press secretary stands and lies to the press. This man must not be relected.

The Super Committee Snooze Bar - HUMAN EVENTS
The Super Committee Snooze Bar - HUMAN EVENTS
It is absolutely amazing that an 8% annual growth rate of the baseline federal budget is considered not an increase, but a flat line. It is even more amazing those DC insiders seem to think we don't know what they're doing. On this election day it is time for all Americans to recommit to voting out the current crop when they next come up for re-election.

Things to know about Greece
As the world frets about what will become of Greece, let's take a look at some things you should know about Greece.
The official government of Greece is called a parliamentary republic.
The official economy of Greece is capitalist.
Even though capitalist, the private sector generates only 40% of the GDP.
That means the government produces 60% of GDP for thos arithmatically challenged.
There are 10 political parties registered in Greece:
-Anticapitalist Left Cooperation for the Overthrow
-Coalition of the Radical Left
-Communist Party of Greece
-Democratic Left
-Democratic Alliance
-Ecologist Greens
-Golden Dawn
-New Democracy
-Panhellenic Socialist Movement
-Popular Orthodox Rally
Judging by the names alone, those political parties probably are the reason why greece is broke today. As Margaret Thatcher once remarked, "The problem with socialism is you always run out of somebody else's money".

Will Big Labor’s Bucks Kill Kasich's Reforms in Ohio? - HUMAN EVENTS
Will Big Labor’s Bucks Kill Kasich's Reforms in Ohio? - HUMAN EVENTS
Those who are opposed to, and voting "no" on, Ohio Issue #2 are misguided and disingenupus.
Issue #2, if defeated, will overturn the legislation that includes such items as: elimination of binding arbitration for state government employees, a requirement that government employees pay 15% of the premiums for their health insurance, and ending the right of state employees to strike.
Those opposed to the issue claim it prevents firefighters, police and teachers, from negotiating for enough people in those jobs to do the needful. Many TV ads are telling of an impending shortage of police and fireman and teachers if issue #2 passes. It actually does not do that.
Right now the legislation makes it illegal to use binding arbitration to close negotiating for union pay and benefits. Such binding arbitration is nearly always arbitered by someone from outisde the state, and nearly always sides with the union. This is why the unions support a "no" vote on it. Unions stand to lose the following if the issue spasses:
1. members will be required to pay for 15% of their healthcare premiums, up from 9%
2. binding arbitration will be off the table when negotiating contracts
3. members lose the right to strike
Nowhere does the current legislation take away jobs. In fact, it will save jobs by not forcing municiple and county governments into unsustainable contracts.
For decades the unions have negotiated for high pensions and benefits in lieu of lower slaries for puiblic sector workers. During all those negotiations, both union and government negotiators knew the plans were unsustainable in the long run. Each new generation brought that eventually closer. It is upon us now.
Too many public sector workers are receiving pensions which have never been fully funded, and unions bosses amnd politicians knew it. It is time to pay up and shut up.
If Issue #2 is defeated, many public sector workers will lose their jobs becasue the state will simply not be able to afford keeping them.
I encourage my Ohio voter friends to vote YES on Issue #2.

Anyone who tells you that President Obama is a good statesman, or is properly dealing with matters of international diplomacy, is simply worng. He may not have been able to stop these changes we're now seeing in North Africa, but did he have to help them along?
