Bailing out 2008: Dave Barry reviews the year’s news By Dave Barry Published: December 30, 2008 at MiamiHerald.com How weird a year was it? Here’s how weird: O.J. actually got convicted of something.

Welcome back. Your dreams were your ticket out… You remember the Slankers, don’t you? Those crazy kids who pulled up stakes in Nevada after truly hilarius antics that included saying a woman born and raised in Henderson was a Washington, D.C. carpetbagger unfit to hold Nevada office? Well, it turns out they caretbagged their way to Washington D.C. to chase a dream of saying the same things about Democratic politicians on a national stage. Oh, and also there was big money involved, too. Welcom

So at the APEC meeting the HK SAR Chief Executive and other global leaders spewed words about the need for “Free Trade”. They warned against high tariffs and other impediments to the movement of cross-border goods. What they really were saying is that they worried that the US might make it tougher for foreign and multnational companies to prey upon the US consumer market. This is evidenced by the same HK SAR Chief Executive failing to ask Zhongnanhai to remove/reduce the trade barriers between

If Republicans are going to be competitive moving forward, we need to recognize that we’ve lost certain people to the minor parties that we need back.  We need small government advocates for freedom to return to the Republican Party, because as of right now, the Republicans are advocating for more government intervention that some Democrats.  Republicans have become the part of big government and we need to change that.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, the “gentleman’s agreement” between Nevada Senators Reid and Ensign is fraying over the Minnesota recount. Ensign has called for Democratic candidate Al Franken to concede quickly. [MCP] No surprise. We might just add this recent strain to several other sources of potential tension. Senator Ensign gives every appearance that he could now be categorized as a “bigger fish in a smaller pond,” or of “having a larger share of a smaller market.” The junior Senator’s re
