Oh, So He Wants Job Creation Ideas, Does He?

Posted: 12 Nov 2009 09:22 AM PST

I have the feeling the President really isn’t being completely forthright with this statement: “We are open to any demonstrably good idea to supplement the steps we’ve already taken to put America back to work,” Obama said. There are a couple reasons I say that. First, he hasn’t really put anyone back to work. The “jobs saved [...]

What is it about progressives that the very notion of competition should turn their bowels to water? It’s as if the phrase “the marketplace of ideas” is the intellectual equivalent of a rotten fish stuffed with limburger and wrapped in the pelt of a road-killed skunk.

Episode 11 of The Delivery is sitting right here for the taking. As usual, you can listen to it here, download it directly here, or pluck it from iTunes like the fine, ripe berry of commentary it is.
