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 [...]

Fixing poverty, the Democrat way

teach_a_man

Isn’t this everything you love about the Dems in one, nice, neat little box?

Insanity, fiscal irresponsibility and bucket loads of other people’s money. 

A $200 back-to-school giveaway for needy kids sparked a mad rush for money on the streets of New York on Tuesday.

Thousands of people lined up at banks and check-cashing shops to withdraw the [...]

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???   [...]

In response to concern about the Stimulus, Obama says, Chillax dudes

alfred_e_neuman

Obama’s weekly radio address was used in large part to try to deflect some of the mounting concerns over why, exactly, all this money was spent and we’re seeing exactly zero results.  Looking over his radio speech, he seems to want us to think things are cruising along exactly as planned. 

“As a result of the [...]

Steny Hoyer says your anus isn’t raw enough yet

Shawshank

Ugly image, I know.  But you might as well be prepared. 

If you’re that new prisoner, and you’re caught in the shower by a group of lifers, all smacking your naked butt and stuff, it’ll be kind of like that. 

Just picture them to be the Democrats, and one of them to be Steny Hoyer.  He’s going [...]

Obama’s sweeping health care reform missing details

shackles

While at an appearance in Green Bay yesterday, President Obama used the opportunity to continue to push for his giant, bloated, government-run health care enslavement program. 

First off, I know you’re asking, “How do you know it’s giant and bloated?  We don’t know anything about it yet!”

And those are two very good points. 

To address the first [...]

OMG… Here we go again: Obama vows to create/save 600,000 jobs

burning_money

As a part of my New Year’s Resolution, I’ve either lost or didn’t gain those 25 pounds, just as I promised myself.  Never mind that I’ve packed on ten.  It’s the 25 pounds that I’ve lost or didn’t gain that are important. 

And crime in my area?  Skyrocketing.  But the police swear they’ve either apprehended or [...]

Milwaukee aldermen Friday approved a plan to spend $6.9 million in federal stimulus funding to aid the city’s homeless.

Sincere advice for Republicans

motivator42072621

The giant Porkzilla package is lumbering its way through the Senate, all $827 billion dollars of it at a conservative measure, and apparently will be passed by mid-week. 

After some moderate scrutiny, the disguise has fallen off, and the ugly monstrosity underneath has become apparent for all to see.  It’s bloated spending in all its glory.  [...]

REAL long-term stimulus

From Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air:

Why has this recession generated such bad job opening rates?  Isidore quotes Robert Brusca of FAO Economics as saying that “fear is running the show right now,” and small wonder.  Instead of trying to calm the nation, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi have transformed themselves into Chicken [...]
