Data Dump: What’s In The Cap And Tax Bill?

I made the mistake of going over to Thomas and skimming through the majority of the climate change OMG WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE IF THIS ISN’T PASSED! THINK OF THE CHILDREN (they didn’t think of the children when they passed Porkulus) MANKIND IS BAD SAVE THE WORLD NOW monstrosity of a legislative bill. Here […]

Reid Says “Nope” To Giving People Time To Read Nanny State Care Bill

Transparency! Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D- Nev.) will not commit to giving senators and the public a full week to read and review the final version of a health-care reform bill before he holds a final vote on it. Reid confessed at his Thursday news briefing that he did not have “a lot of time” to read the 1,071-page stimulus bill […]

Lobbyists And IOUs

I couldn’t decide which story to post, so, a double shot of silly government goofiness, starting with Turning The Camera Around: Health Care Stakeholders When 22 senators started working over the first health care overhaul bill on June 17, the news cameras were pointed at them — except for NPR’s photographer, who turned his lens […]

ObamaCare Day Long Infomercial=Fail

OK, I’ll admit, I did not watch, ore really even read, anything during the day Wednesday as ABC News and The White House became one and the same. But, see there were two little problems for Obama and his “I’m not going to do away with private insurance *wink wink*” agenda: Mark Sanford, and ABC […]

Way To Go, Mark Sanford! Moron

During breaks, and times the training moderator wasn’t watching, I watched with fascination loathing on Twitter the saga of Mark Sanford. Yes, I’m sure everyone knows all about this by now, but, bear with me Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina, said he had conducted an extra-marital affair with a woman in Argentina, ending […]

Obama Reached Out To Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Pre-Election

I wonder if the letter included Obama’s typical apologies? Prior to this month’s disputed presidential election in Iran, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, according to interviews and the leader himself. Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the letter toward the end of a […]

GM To Add More Car Lines No One Will Buy

But, don’t say that the Obama administration is not telling Government Motors what to do. Not because that is incorrect, but, just because they don’t want you to say it General Motors Corp will do the “heavy lifting” to help meet the ambitious goal set by President Barack Obama of having one million plug-in hybrid […]

Obama Calls PC As Words “Jimmy Carter” Resonate

Apparently, President Neophyte is not enjoying the look of things right now. His poll numbers are slipping, John McCain, among others, made a powerful speech on Iran, and it appears as if the election result will be left to standand Ahmadinejad will be reinstalled as the Iranian president. All while Iranians plead for the U.S. […]

North Korea Gives Barry Another 3am Call

Will he answer? Or, is it time for another photo-op trip to get a burger with Joe, frozen custard with the kids, or maybe a round of golf? This is what North Korea had to say regarding the U.S. trailing a Nork ship that could possibly be carrying materials banned by a U.N. resolution passed after […]

Might Saturday’s Tenor Change Obama’s View On Iran?

You know, it’s not so much that Obama is on the wrong side of history, regarding Iran. He’s on no side of history. Even the BBC is getting rather cynical vis a vis Obama’s reticence to become engaged The White House has so far resisted calls to speak out more forcefully in support of Iranian […]
