Did You Know Katrina Ended the Second the Storm Left?
Talking Points Memo is claiming that Bobby Jindal actually made up his story about helping a Democratic Sheriff acquire the authority to evacuate people by boat during Hurricane Katrina. Here’s what the governor said his his SOTU rebuttal speech: During Katrina, I visited Sheriff Harry Lee, a Democrat and a good friend of mine. When [...]
John Bolton’s Remarks: Overreact Much?
27. February 2009
The lefty blogosphere is in a tizzy this morning over John Bolton’s remarks at CPAC yesterday, where they allege he advocated the nuking of Chicago. That didn’t sound like something he’d say and, sure enough, it wasn’t what he was saying at all. Jonathan Stein at Mother Jones writes: “The fact is on foreign policy [...]
Say, How Much Will Obama’s New Budget Cost?
26. February 2009
How does $25,573.48 a person grab you? That’s the result of $3.6 trillion in spending divided by the 139 million taxpayers in America. We’re on track for a $700 billion deficit and $15 trillion+ national debt in just a decade’s time. Uncle Sam will end up raising taxes by upwards of a $1 trillion over [...]
Obama DHS Secretary Shocked, Dismayed To Learn Immigration Laws are Being Enforced

Did you know that federal immigration agents had the nerve to actually enforce immigration laws on President Obama’s watch?

Houses Passed $410 Billion Spending Bill
25. February 2009
$700 billion for TARP, $1 trillion for stimulus, $400 billion for mortgages, unknown billions for the automakers, $410 billion for additional spending, and now $634 billion for a health care fund. Gee, this is starting to get a tad expensive, dontcha think? Obama would pay for the expansion by trimming tax breaks for the wealthy [...]
Byrd: Obama Threatening System of Checks and Balances
25. February 2009
God help me, the (very) senior senator from West Virginia is right. From moving the census to a partisan pitbull’s control to giving regular advisers unprecedented control in the West Wing, Obama’s been slowly chipping away at the system. The same system the left constantly accused Bush of trying to erode. In a letter to [...]
Obama: America Invented the Automobile; Reality: No, We Didn’t
25. February 2009
A nice catch by Gawker’s Jalopnik. The man who brought you a revision of WWII liberation history brings you this little diddy about the history of automobiles: In tonight’s mini-State of the Union, President Obama said the “nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it.” But as Jalopnik notes, we didn’t invent the [...]
Chris Matthews, Supergenius, Talks About GOP Response Being “Outsourced”
25. February 2009
Racist, considering Jindal is Indian? You make the call. But as Allahpundit says, rest assured Chrissy would be the first to make the race connection if a conservative had said the same about a Democratic Indian-American.
Biden: Anyone Know the Website Number?

You see, nobody messes with Joe. Except Joe’s own memory. Scary smart.
Tennessee Democratic Governor Rejecting Portions of Stimulus
25. February 2009
Is he a racist too, Congressman Clyburn? Or does that only apply to Republicans rejecting aspects of the bill for the same reason? Tennessee could reject a portion of the $787 billion economic stimulus package out of concerns that it would force the state to raise taxes on businesses in the future. At the National [...]
