Whoever runs HR for JP Morgan deserves an award, or more likely they have a blog and observe Rule 5. Meet Xenia Tchoumticheva, Morgan’s newest (and likely hottest) intern in the London office. The UK Sun reports: BANKERS at JP MORGAN have landed a real bonus — their bosses have hired this gorgeous model. Multi-lingual…
…not just chocked full-o-facts – according to…wait for it…none other than the Washington Post. Glenn Kessler of the Post’s Fact Checker writes: We realize the symbolic value of things like corporate jets, particularly when Republicans appear to be refusing to accept even a single dollar of additional revenue, but Obama is misleading when he suggests…
..you have lost the country. At least the left side of it anyway. Oh, my. Based on my sources (the 9 people who watch MSNBC, Drudge and Politico), Mark Halperin, editor at large for Time and MSNBC senior political analyst called Obama a “dick” on live TV. MSNBC senior political analyst Mark Halperin was suspended…
The engine in the HopenChange Express is beginning to knock. It ain’t opportunity knocking but it could be the ethanol (subsidies). It’s been a rough June for the White House. Instead of being able to run a campaign taking credit for economic improvement, President Obama will, according to the latest forecasts, be trying to win…
I’ve already enjoyed being here in the UK. They may not have the same kind of freedom of the press that we do but at least in their system, there is no doubt about who does what to whom. The right leaning media is unabashedly right leaning and the leftist media is unapologetically leftist. Nobody…
I have lost confidence in the US government to do much of anything effectively. I think that our political class has turned our country into some sort of parody of 1960’s Soviet style, favoritism laden bureaurocracy. Selective, irrational and mindless enforcement/non-enforcement of laws is the hallmark of a government that has lost any connection to…
Professor Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit has been talking about a “bubble” in higher education for quite a while. He has also posted several instances of people doing the math and finding out that the expense and time put into a degree often just isn’t justified. We all know that a person who majors in “Russian…
Another great column by Victor Davis Hanson – this time over at Works and Days: Once the individual develops a dependency on food stamps, free medical care, subsidized housing, all sorts of disability or unemployment compensation, education credits, grants, and zero-interest loans — the entire American version of the European socialist breadbasket — then expectations…
There was an astoundingly ignorant item published in Time yesterday. Be patient, I’ll get to it. In current political debate, liberals take three positions, 1) government can do anything, 2) we need to spend as much as it takes to support the government in its aims and to support that spending, and 3) we must…
I’m really close to perfecting time travel. Since I really had the future sized up to be something like this: You can imagine my disappointment at reading this: Why Sex With Creatures from the Future Is a Bad Idea When time travel finally becomes possible, we might want to think twice about getting it on.…
Back before I came on board PoliPundit as a guest blogger, I wrote this here: I catch a lot of grief from my opponents about “seeing a commie under every rock” because of my insistence that we must resist Marxism and other forms of communism and I take a lot of flak for calling policies…
Steven Hayward is someone with whom I find myself often in agreement. He has now formally joined Powerline as a full fledged contributor, removing the “guest” title from his postings. He sums up a critical point that I think can be ascribed to almost every liberal position today from economics to the environment. So many…
It is so simple – why didn’t I think of that? {slaps forehead}
I missed posting this a few weeks back, I saw it but didn’t get a chance to post it. I assumed that it would get more coverage but it sorta just died and went away. Given the current financial status of this country, these two items should get a lot more attention. First, from The…
Let me start with something that most already know – E.J. Dionne is an idiot. A leftist idiot. Being such is evidently a resume enhancer that can land you a job at the Washington Post. The week’s chapter of “the world is going to end if Republicans are in charge” is dedicated to the old…
From John who posted the video at YouTube: NBC decides to remove Under God, Indivisible from the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of Sunday’s 2011 U.S. Open coverage. They not only removed it once, they removed it twice during this Video. I’m sure they will make me take this video down so pass it…
Putin has a new personal photographer. Say what you want – Vlad knows how to pick them. From the Australian: MEET Vladimir Putin’s new official personal photographer, Yana Lapikova, who has caused a stir in Russia after being appointed to the Prime Minister’s staff. The former beauty contestant and lingerie model has joined two male…
Yes, you read that correctly. Her name is Lacey Banghard. She is part of a UK tradition that should have been imported to the US but wasn’t – the Page 3 Girls. Per Wikipedia, Page Three (or Page 3) is a tabloid newspaper feature consisting of a topless photograph of a female glamour model, usually…
As many readers of The Rio Norte Line know, I’ll be living the life of an expat in the UK for a year or two. I’ve always been a fan of the British music scene but after being here for a while, I have really come to love several of the radio shows on BBC…
How much would you bet that this “lady” is an Obama voter? Woman Says She’s Too ‘Educated’ to be Kicked off New York Train All class, all the time. Another illustration of our ‘highly educated class,’ acting like assholes: (emphasis added) A woman traveling on New York’s Metro North train line was recorded by a…
