CQ: Sotomayer Repeatedly Made Similar “Wise Latina” Remarks
Let he/she who hasn’t misspoken the same idea many times over a multi-year period cast the first stone. And by the way, that means she expressed the same idea more often than in just 2001 and 1994. Quite a bit more often. A draft version of a October 2003 speech Sotomayor delivered at Seton Hall [...]
Report: White House Had Prior Knowledge of Souter’s Retirement
4. June 2009
When it was reported that Supreme Court Justice David Souter would retire, the White House didn’t comment immediately. Rather, it waited until the next day after Souter sent a personal letter to President Obama to outline his plans for the future. But did the White House have prior knowledge of Souter’s retirement? In her 172-page [...]
Video: Barbara Boxer’s Sorry Record on Missile Defense
4. June 2009
One of the most crucial aspects of true national security today is a missile defense shield. Until we’re capable of protecting America from any rogue nuclear state that wants to effectively hold us hostage under the threat of hitting us with a nuclear-armed ICBM, we’re left exposed to insane dictators with equally insane agendas. We [...]
Good News: Sotomayer A Member of La Raza
4. June 2009
Boy, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayer keeps looking worse. According to The Hill, Sotomayer has been a member of La Raza — or “The Race” — for six years. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was a member of the National Council of La Raza for six years, according to her Senate questionaire released Wednesday. Sotomayor, [...]
LA Times: Terms Unemployment “Funemployment”
4. June 2009
It takes some serious shilling skills out to out-spin the Associated Press. The LA Times apparently has some serious shilling skills. Unemployment under President Obama is apparently termed “funemployment”. You know, for the fun in not having a source of income to pay the mortgage. For the ‘funemployed,’ unemployment is welcome These jobless folks, usually [...]
Sotomayer College Thesis: U.S. Congress is Actually North American Congress
4. June 2009
Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayer refused to refer to Congress as the “U.S. Congress” in her college thesis, National Journal reports. Instead, Judge “Wise Latina” refers to the legislative body as the “North American Congress”. Oh, and she was a Puerto Rican nationalist who wanted independence: First, I’m curious as to when Sotomayor ceased being [...]
Obama Finally Issues Statement on Slain Soldier
3. June 2009
Despite taking just hours to issue a statement of condemnation regarding the murder of late-term abortion doctor George Tiller, it’s taken President Barack Obama until now — three days after the murder — to issue a limp statement regarding the killing of an American soldier by someone who’s been charged with terrorism. Here it finally [...]
Obama: Let’s Tax Health-Care Benefits
3. June 2009
Didn’t Captain Hopenchange promise no new taxes for those making under $250,000/year? What, only those making above $250k receive health-care benefits? News to me. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said Obama expressed a willingness to consider changing the existing tax exclusion. The decision would probably anger liberal supporters such as labor unions, but [...]
AP: Bin Laden Criticism of Obama Shows He’s Afraid of HopenChange
3. June 2009
Uh huh. Because it’s not like OBL ever criticized Presidents Bush or Clinton. Suddenly criticism from the bearded man in a cave shows that he’s afraid of the person he’s criticizing? Because I recall him pretty visciously attacking Bush at the same time the media talked about Bush’s failed policies against OBL and how Al [...]

3. June 2009
Time magazine has created a list of 25 people to blame for the current economic recession. Two on the list should be familiar to long-time blogosphere visitors or loyal SNL viewers: Herb and Marion Sandler. In the early 1980s, the Sandlers’ World Savings Bank became the first to sell a tricky home loan called the [...]
