I’m shocked, shocked that the Stimulus didn’t work out.
This week, President Obama had the dubious pleasure of offering a budget with a deficit of more than a trillion dollars. He could have done something more politically attractive: unveil a plan to curb the runaway spending of the Bush years.

Is there any doubt that the ill-named Stimulus was anything more than a slush fund for Congressional pet projects?
Penn State University’s Michael Mann, a climate scientist whose credibility has come into question. He’s the guy behind Al Gore’s famous “hockey stick” graph, which has been discredited.
