A Few "I Told You So's" Today

The World Health Organization has officially declared the swine flu a pandemic.

 

I told you yesterday that this would happen:  the left is blaming conservatives, including tea partiers, for the Holocaust Museum shooting yesterday.  The guy was a certifiable nutcase, a 9/11 truther, and far from a conservative.

 

Apparently the new hot spot to be is Washington, DC, as college graduates are choosing Washington over Wall Street for jobs and MTV's "The Real World" will film its next season there.

 

The American Medical Association opposes government health care.  Can we listen to the professionals on this?  The Democrats are so desperate to get this thing passed that they are resorting to tactics like blackmail and labeling skeptical Democrats as "sellouts."  Obama's plan to have a government health insurance option will eventually become the only option for Americans.  Karl Rove has the five arguments that Republicans need to use to stop socialized medicine.

 

Demand for US bonds continues to drop, which means that interest rates will probably start to rise for the rest of us.

 

Obama's promise to re-impose "paygo" rules is hollow, and Democrats have been promising to do that since at least 2005.

 

The head of the bailout oversight committee doesn't know whether it is actually working.

 

Sonia Sotomayor has described herself as "a product of affirmative action," just like I told you she was.  The difference is that she was not referring to her nomination to the Supreme Court, where I was.

 

Only 36% of likely voters say that the United States is heading in the right direction.

 

A majority of Americans says that taxes should be cut to stimulate the economy.

 

The Obama Administration wants to cut executive pay, but right now they can't seem to find the justification to do it for every company.  They'll find a way eventually.  Here are some of the details on their plan to "encourage" companies to be more "responsible" with their executive pay practices.

                                                          

More Democrats are lining up in opposition to the cap-and-trade proposal that Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman, and Barack Obama want.  In Australia, the police are being forced to become "carbon cops."

 

Four Uighurs have been sent to Bermuda.  Their Premier doesn't think they're dangerous.  I wonder how much we're paying them for that?  Either way, the British government isn't happy about it.

 

Apparently there is an "Obama effect" on black students' test scores.  If you mention the Messiah before they take a test, they score better.

 

The state has eased up on some of the watering restrictions that they imposed during the drought.  House Minority Leader and Democrat candidate for Governor Dubose Porter is criticizing Governor Perdue for not having the state prepared for the next drought.

 

Pete Randall at Peach Pundit has found some waste that the state could cut.

 

Taxpayers are paying for the children of parasites in Macon to get free lunches all summer, just like they do during the school year.  I have trouble believing that food stamps don't give enough money to feed the kids.
