Claire McCaskill: Health Bill Is As Long As Palin’s Book

Seriously, for someone the Left says is an empty suit and not a serious political player, they sure spend quite a bit of time talking about Sarah Palin Sen.

How Can One Write About The 20th Anniversary Of The Fall Of The Berlin Wall And Not Mention Reagan?

The 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall has become a rather big deal over the last few days, with lots of people chiming in in the media. They all seem to be forgetting one thing: it would not have happened, at least certainly not that early, if it wasn’t for Reagan’s brilliant […]

GOP Health CARE Place Rated Awesome By CBO

We can’t back something that is going to mortgage the future of America’s children and grandchildren.” […]

Sigh. Proving That There Are Wackos On Both Sides Of The Aisle

I really wanted to go with “Clowns To The Left Of Me, Jokers To The Right,” then I noticed that Cassandra already used that headline.
