When you open the door....

goldfish02

Most of us already know that the Brits are done.

If you follow the news at all, you already know what I mean, so I’m not going to elaborate much beyond that.

However, there is still hope for us in this country, so how about we check out the idiocy going on in other countries, point [...]

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 [...]

Greece: Our Crystal Ball?

For the past few months, we’ve had the opportunity to watch the people of Greece participate in a near-freefall of their economy and social system.  There’s riots and protests and flaming bottles and overturned cars and heads stomped by horses.  And while I don’t think they’re nice enough to be doing all of this for [...]

The absolute scariest thing I've seen in a very long time...

nuke01

You’ve gotta’ hand it to the libs…  they play hardball.  When they step out on to the field, it’s no-nonsense, winner-take-all.  They don’t sweat things like your freedom, or the democratic process that’s served us well for the past, oh, two hundred or so years.  At least not if any of these things are between [...]

Via Hot Air headlines, Editor and Publisher does a little interview with Joe the Plumber, where he chats about Palin and McCain and the media and other fun things. 

In a wide-ranging interview with E&P, Wurzelbacher also shared his thoughts on Sarah Palin (he hopes she doesn’t run for president in 2012), Palin’s references [...]

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 [...]

I’d be offended, but I guess I’m too stupid to know better

pinocchio1

Is it just me, or is there a very disturbing trend that is beginning to appear with this administration…

For me, it kind of began with the little girl in the audience of the town hall meeting Obama was at.  You know, the one who

asked President Obama a question at Tuesday’s town hall meeting in [...]

Repubs win big in 2010? Let’s put the breaks on this train for a minute

churchill victory

I’m starting to see a lot a blog posts floating around about the Republicans picking up big seats in the House and Senate and whatnot. 

I wanted to shoot out a quick post to say, yo’, it’s August 2009.  There’s plenty of time between now and the fall of 2010 for bad things to [...]

How bad is it for Dems at these town hall meetings?

mob_pitchforks_small

Pretty bad.

Here’s one from Frozen Tundra Land, where Representative Gwen Moore from Milwaukee has returned home to seek the counsel and wisdom from her district, or something like that. 

The first thing you’ll notice when you read the news stories from reporters coming back from these meetings is that they are just plain, outright shocked  that [...]

Cash for Clunkers: Where’s your money going?

Old_car_-_Chevy

Thankfully, new polling seems to suggest America agrees, at least a little, with the Gulch about how really miserable this cash for clunkers program is, in spite of some sources hailing it as an ”inarguable success. ”

Ostroy at the Huffington Post calls it a “recession-busting program,” which is something we probably need to share with the recession, [...]
