I can just picture Nancy P. stomping her ruby slippers and screaming “they can’t do this!!!!1!!!!” Republicans will eliminate the House committee created by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to highlight the threat of climate change, Representative James Sensenbrenner, the top Republican on the panel, said today.

It’s still a bit early in the day, though They’re all the rage — fliers’ rage — the controversial new pat-down procedures used by government airport security screeners.

Yet, he goes out with a whimper and some of that ole Obama style cluelessness Rep. Dan Maffei (D-N.Y.) conceded to his GOP challenger Tuesday afternoon, giving Republicans their 63rd pickup in the House. He trailed Republican candidate Ann Marie Buerkle by 567 votes in a race that has been too close to call. Lawyers […]

Obama is, well, I can’t really say learning, since he is obviously infallable and knows better than everyone else on the planet since the dawn of time, but, he might catch a little clue that after months and months of demonizing business, you know, that entity that makes the economy go, are not as easily […]
