Dang It

It is a sign you are growing older and wiser when summer starts to become your least favorite month as temperatures soar and yard work increases. I love keeping a sharp lawn and gardens but when it gets hot it loses its charm and becomes another days labor.

It seems the left is having trouble getting any real traction as our economy continues to power forward as Larry Kudlow points out more of what he calls the "greatest story not told"

Did you know that just over the past 11 quarters, dating back to the June 2003 Bush tax cuts, America has increased the size of its entire economy by 20 percent? In less than three years, the U.S. economic pie has expanded by $2.2 trillion, an output add-on that is roughly the same size as the total Chinese economy, and much larger than the total economic size of nations like India, Mexico, Ireland and Belgium.

This is an extraordinary fact, although you may be reading it here first. Most in the mainstream media would rather tout the faults of American capitalism than sing its praises. And of course, the media will almost always discuss supply-side tax cuts in negative terms, such as big budget deficits and static revenue losses. But here's another suppressed fact: Since the 2003 tax cuts, tax-revenue collections from the expanding economy have been surging at double-digit rates, while the deficit is constantly being revised downward.

Will the MSM report this above the fold in blaring font, not likely as it goes askew to their agenda.

One of my favorite milblogs, Blackfive , brings an illuminating bit of info on the loonbats in this case of the vampire variety, a college psych prof none the less , threatening a two year old. You won't believe some of the garbage posted by this slime, well, I take that back, the loonbats will.

We all know that lefty trolls can be a real inconvenience at times, but a very special troll named Deborah Frisch has taken trolling down a very dark road. Jeff Goldstein is the very insightful conservative blogger who writes at Protein Wisdom and Dr. Frisch (did I mention she's a psych[o] professor at the University of Arizona?) has repeatedly and quite disturbing levied DEATH THREATS against Jeff's 2 year old child.

I post this in the hopes that any readers in the law enforcement community or at the University of Arizona will take the opportunity to click on over and see if they can be of assistance. Much like Robert Fisk of "fisking" fame, Frisch ought to become her own unique internet verb for a deranged troll/cyber stalker. Please don't hesitate to leave your submissions in the comments.

Update is here.
I support the the move to call blog troll's posts "Frisching" , the ones meant just to be annoying and often foul and insulting. I know I have my frishes, I prefer them fried or grilled though sauteed is fine as well..

I comment fairly often on the lack of good help and apprentices coming into the trades, I post not as a union schill but as an American Craftsman. knowng that those who have my skills are diminishing not growing. Union glasswork is hard work but easy mentally, I have no beef with them, raising major curtain walls is serious work, been there done that,including layout work. I prefer doing residential work for high dollar clients, making there custum bath, kitchen, bar or whatever become a reality. People will always need glass and we are at the forefront in residential design. I can be reached through email if you have questions.
