Obama Lying About His Study Says Economist

Harvey Rosen, the Princeton economist who Obama is citing as the authority that Romney’s tax plan won’t work, says the President is not telling the truth.

“I can’t tell exactly how the Obama campaign reached that characterization of my work”, he told the Weekly Standard.  ” . . The main conclusion of my study is that under plausible assumptions a proposal along the lines suggested by Gov. Romney ca both be revenue neutral and keep the net tax burden on taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 about the same.”
Maybe the President wasn’t lying. Maybe he and all his experts just couldn’t understand it. Maybe he just needs new experts. Maybe we just need a new president.

A ChiCom Connection With Obama

Breitbart News is reporting that the Obama.Com website is owned by a man in Shanghai with strong ties to state-controlled Chinese banks.

Breitbart notes that the website’s donation page does not require the entrance of a credit card security code making it easy to hide foreign donations.
Breitbart notes that 68 percent of all internet traffic to Obama.Com comes from foreign visitors.
Breitbart is promising more details.

Killing With Kindness

The state House, last week, approved legislation  that would limit the ways in which animals can be euthanized and increase the fine for violating the rules from $250 to between $500 and $1,000, said State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) 

He said the House also last week approved House Bill 2409, which provides a mechanism for animal care organizations to seek compensation for care provided to an animal that was seized due to animal cruelty charges. This would allow the caregivers to seek compensation from the owner of the animal or the defendant in the animal cruelty case.

Cox said he voted for all the bills.

Italian Village, Our Return

We went to Italian Village, yesterday, for the first time since they were featured on Restaurant Impossible.

We didn’t know the restaurant at 902 MacDade Blvd, Milmont Park, Pa. before the Robert Irvine makeover, but we liked it before they got their national fame and we still do.
All praised the roasted peppers placed before us gratis and all regretted them not being filled. The shrimp lejon appetizer was tasty but could have used a couple of more shrimp. The meal came with a soup or salad and both were found to be satisfactory.
The main courses — shrimp scampi, baked pork canneloni and lasagna — were more than filling. The scampi was adequate, the canneloni was good and the lasagna was superb.
Maybe the menu could be larger.
That was a joke.
The menu could be found at their website. We didn’t feel it was overpriced.
Our waitress was nice. The atmosphere was comfortable and friendly, and the dining room was pleasant and spotless.
One down note — William Sr. who raved about his manhattan cocktail last time, was disappointed in it this time.
All the same, Italian Village remains a fine and fun neighborhood place.

Christmas Lights

Seen on the internet: Obama supporters are like Christmas lights. They hang together, half don’t work, and the ones that do aren’t that bright.

Industry And Evolution

Once upon a time, RCA made TVs across the river in Camden, N.J. 

RCA had the best technology in the world. It had many patents and was innovative. It’s factory was modern and busy and the workers made good wages.
In 1952, it began licensing its television patents to Sharp, a Japanese company. Sharp began making televisions. It, and other Japanese companies, were soon making just about all the televisions and Sharp and a modern, busy factory in the city of Yaita where the workers made good wages. 
Camden died.
Now, Sharp is hurting and licensing its patents to Foxconn in Zhengzhou, China. Foxconn and Zhengzhou are booming and Yaita is dying.
One doubts that Yaita will ever reach the point of Camden though.
