Team Proof and Manifest Destiny

Candidate finishing Team Proof employment application

Maybe not "Manifest Destiny". It might be more like "Demolition Man", where all of the restaurants are Taco Bell!
To that end, we welcome a new blogger to Team Proof: Andrew Roman
Andrew has been sole proprietor of the "Roman Around" blog, and announced recently that he was going to have to suspend operation over there.

So while his daily blog is on hiatus, I have invited Andrew to come join us here.
I just sent out the invitation, but after a long, protracted negotiation over the shape of the virtual table, we were able to come to an agreement, and perhaps against his better judgment, Andrew will contribute here shortly.

Please give him a warm welcome when he comes so he feels right at home!

Liar! Liar! Officials on the Gulf Cleanup

Not Obama himself...this time! Just his minions.

CNSNews.com – Billy Nungesser, president of New Orleans’ Plaquemines Parish, sensed that a chart showing 140 oil skimmers at work -- a chart given to him by BP and the Coast Guard -- was “somewhat inaccurate.” So, Nungesser asked to fly over the spill to verify the number.

The flyover was canceled three times before those officials admitted that just 31 of the 140 skimmers were actually deployed.

Could that be the reason for the prohibition of low level flights imposed not long ago? To cover up the extent of the Obama administration's incompetence, and to use James Carville's word, lackadaisical approach to the clean up?

Quote du jour

Once the state swells to a certain size, the people available to fill the ever expanding number of government jobs will be statists — sometimes hard-core Marxist statists, sometimes social-engineering multiculti statists, sometimes fluffily “compassionate” statists, but always statists.
