Paul Krugman Vs Sarah Palin On Health Care

Oh, my, with Congress back in session doing things to restrict and mess up our lives (unless you are basically a ward of Los Federales. Then you get free big screen TVs), it is getting hot and heavy in the opinion pages. Let’s start with Krugman But what is one to make of the practical, […]

Say, About Those Shovel Ready Projects….

Where are they? Haven’t seen many so far, and, they do not seem to be available in the near future A forward-looking measure of hiring intentions dipped slightly in the United States even as it improved in many other countries, according to a quarterly survey by Manpower Inc. The global employment services company said its […]

U.S Cuts Off Non-Humanitarian Aid To Honduras Officially

The only thing shocking about this is that Hillary Clinton didn’t go and call what happened the other month a coup. Had she done that, all aid would have had to be cut, per US law (not that lawmakers, particularly those in Obama’s admin, follow the law) The Obama administration on Thursday cut all non-humanitarian […]

UN’s Ban Ki-moon Goes Chicken Little Yet Again

Apparently, Ban Ki-moon isn’t reading what his own IPCC scientists have been writing as of late. In his world EVERYBODY PANIC! U.N.

Steny Hoyer: “There’s No Way I Can Vote For This Craptacular Health Bill”

Of course, he didn’t actually say that, but, that is the meaning A participant at the town hall meeting that was held in Waldorf, Md., asked Hoyer if he believed the health care bill would cause a “tax increase or an increase to the deficit?” “Neither,” Hoyer replied. “The fact of the matter is, though,” he added, a […]

Imagine If Chappaquiddick Happened With Todays Media

This is the kind of insane, deranged, un-blanking-believable completely unhinged type of progressive claptrap that makes me want to break out in Ace type language over this Eric Zorn Chicago Tribune story: How wall-to-wall Chappaquiddick would have changed history — for the worse Of course every network would have had special logos featuring bridges, water, wrecked […]

Climahysterics Scared Silly Over Chamber Trial Challenge

You know what happens when anyone challenges one of the religious doctrines of the Left? If you guessed “reasoned debate,” well, then, you buy me the tequila Global warming deniers seem to be in the same camp as so-called birthers (crazies who believe conspiracy theories that President Obama isn’t a US citizen). Both groups believe that […]

Betsy Markey Tells The Truth In Front Of Large Astroturf Audience

Betsy Markey told a gathering of constituents in […]

Surprise! There’s A Cash For Clunkers Tax

Today’s theme is brought to you by the word “consequences.” When dealing with Democrats/liberals/progressives, there are always consequences, the majority of which were never considered when calling for and/or implementing legislation/plans.
