The world's smallest violin for Representative Hank Johnson

I’m hearing from different sources this morning that picking on Congressman Hank Johnson’s obvious confusion while speaking with Admiral Willard about relocating Navy personnel to Guam was a mean-spirited, heartless, insensitive, and downright, well… conservative thing to do.

He’s sick, don’t you know.

Rep. Hank Johnson is the Atlanta Democrat who defeated and replaced the execrable Cynthia [...]

The Health Care Albatross and some advice for the Dems

albatross-l-stare

Old Nancy seems to be limping her way ever closer to her goal of 216.  She swears she’s got the votes to get this done, and probably by tomorrow afternoon, barring some other delay, we’ll know whether it’s still safe to get sick in this country or not. 

But with them so close to their goal, we [...]

Brooks: Obama can't get anything done, so he's a moderate, or something

David Brooks swings so wildly back-and-forth in some of his opinion pieces, I’m surprised his glasses haven’t flown off.  One moment, the liberal commenters on his NYT posts call him a crazed right-winger, and the next moment republican commenters are saying he’s a radical leftist media-type.  I guess to be a moderate, which Brooks is [...]

The Gitmo shell-game continues

soldierfield01

We dropped a few on Palau. 

Shipped some to New York. 

How about if you flatlanders in Illinois get ready for your share now, too? 

The Land of Lincoln may still be licking its wounds–and certain real estate transactions–over Chicago’s losing the Olympics to Rio, but the Obama Administration has delivered up a small consolation prize: the state’s [...]

The difference between Michael Steele and Dede Scozzafava is…?

USA-POLITICS/REPUBLICANS

Dede actually had the guts to come out and support the Democrats. 

Steele doesn’t go the distance like Dede, but he’s pretty good at beating up on Republicans. 

Wait… wait… isn’t Steele the Chairman of the Republican National Committee?  What do you mean, he’s beating up on Republicans?  He wouldn’t do that, right?

Yeah, that’s kind of the [...]

More stuff from Pence and Fox News Sunday

I’m going to add a little more from what Congressman Mike Pence had to say on Fox News Sunday, but I think it’s worth a separate post, as it goes off in a slightly different direction from our last entry on the health care vote. 

While Pence was telling the Dems to “stop digging,” he made [...]

Poor Dave

gs_david_letterman_090324_m

Y’know… a year ago I would have felt pretty bad about this. 

Now?  Not so much. 

David Letterman surprised his studio audience Thursday during the taping of his CBS show when he announced that he’d had sex with female “Late Show” staffers and that someone had tried to extort $2 million from him to keep quiet about [...]

Read My Lips: One Term President

flushing_toilet

I honestly didn’t think it was possible to dismantle a presidency so quickly.  Especially one that was so popular, so charismatic, so full of undiluted awesome sauce. 

I understand he hasn’t had any real experience running anything.  Not a business, not a state, not a lemonade stand.  But for gosh sakes… he’s got advisers, doesn’t he???   [...]

Specter and Sestak, Will the Real Dem please stand up?

optimusP

Unlike many others who take up space in my party, I didn’t lose a wink of sleep when Specter flopped like a dying fish to the other side of the aisle.  I knew some people who were positively aghast that “conservatives” were losing yet another seat.  And while crying, they continued to insist that the only way [...]

Insightful comments from 19-year old about Sarah Palin

For those of you wondering why conservatives despise the media, here’s a prime example from a very brief Associated Press article today.

Everyone is abuzz about Sarah Palin’s resignation, and although she made a very public speech, and commented pretty lucidly about her decisions, the media has continually searched for a credible authority to speak out, and [...]
