The Plame d’Affair: I’m A Wee Bit Pissed

After think a bit more during some wee free time today, I must say that I am getting rather pissed off at the whole affair. Captain Ed wrote yesterday: Addendum: The more I think about this, the angrier I get — and not just at Patrick Fitzgerald. Richard Armitage confessed to the DoJ in October […]

Beer Monday Linkfest: Rove Not Indicted Next Week?

And a happy start to the work week. Time for a beer with the news. That is what was missing from that PJM vblog [gv data=”http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=6800957476264717058&hl=en”][/gv] Sointenly, liberals, especially Jason Leopold and the other proggies at Truthout, will need some beer and a beautiful vista, though I suspect the vista would involve a protest march […]

Thongs Greet Obama As He Goes All Photo Op

So, when United States Of America President George W. Bush goes to see the troops in Iraq on Thanksgiving, the press terms that a phony photo op. When W went to New Orleans on multiple occassions, particularly at the request of "Chocolate City" Nagin, the press called those visits photo ops. You know, because the […]

Johnson Beats Embarrasment McKinney

Morning, y'all, Jebediah here.  One kook won in Conneticut, another lost in Atlanta. Both races seemed to be the typical Democratic "don't vote for them," but at least Hank Johnson discussed himself now and then (from the Atlanta JC) Hank Johnson, the soft-spoken DeKalb County commissioner who forced U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney into a surprising […]

Breck Girl Spouts Off-Cut n’ Run

Dems Reject Hiking Minimum Wage

Ahh, the Party of Hypocrites strikes again: A Republican election-year effort to combine a cut in inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates with the first minimum-wage increase in nearly a decade was rejected by the Senate late Thursday. Republicans needed 60 votes to advance their bill, which links a $2.10 increase in the $5.15 federal minimum […]

McKinney Gets her (law)Suit On

Geez, I reckon today should be Lawsuit Wednesday, rather then White Trash Wednesday. Seems ol' Cynthia McKinney is a wee bit upset about something written about her in the newspapers (via Wizbang) Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) is suing an Atlanta newspaper (the Atlanta Journal Constitution) for libel, after printing comments stemming from her run-in with police […]

Sen. Specter Joins The Moonbat Brigade

Via Yahoo News: A powerful Republican committee chairman who has led the fight against President Bush's signing statements said Monday he would have a bill ready by the end of the week allowing Congress to sue him in federal court.

Congress Wastes Time On Polar Bears and Stem Cells

There is war in Iraq and Afghanistan. We now have the Israeli/Hezbollah fight. High gas prices. Etc. Yet the Congress is wasting time on minor, trivial legislation. At least that was the cry from the Left when the Congress was debating gay marriage and a Flag Amendment, to name a few. They complained about passage […]
