Loretta Sanchez Hides Town Hall Behind Prayer Vigil
Just the latest attempt by a Democratic Congressman/woman to shut down vocal dissent by hiding behind scenarios that would be unpleasant for opponents of ObamaCare. First we had a town hall held at a children’s hospital, now we have Loretta Sanchez holding a town hall disguised as a “prayer vigil”. Because, really, who would interrupt [...]
Obama to Critics: Just Shut Up
7. August 2009
Because this is what you resort to when you can no longer win an argument based on facts. You blame them for creating a mess that, er, you’ve been a part of creating for the past 5 years. And then you tell them to just shut up based on that reason alone. Please, folks. He [...]
White House: We’ll Still See At Least 10% Unemployment
7. August 2009
While the media and left-wing may be jumping on today’s unemployment news as signs that the recession is coming to an end, even the White House is warning that it’s not time to crack out the “Happy Days are Here Again” record. In fact, the Obama Administration is expecting unemployment to reach at least 10%. [...]
Report: Protesters Kept Out, SEIU Admitted to St. Louis Town Hall; Updated
6. August 2009
Like I said in the last post, it’s amazing how all of this is happening just as the unions enter the fray. Crap is suddenly hitting the fan and violence breaking out. The latest is out of St. Louis: SEIU & Castor organize a townhall and announce it at the last minute as to reduce [...]
Violence Breaks Out at ObamaCare Townhall Meeting
6. August 2009
On the same day that the unions and their thugs officially entered the fray, violence has broken out at a town hall meeting on health care in Tampa. No word on who started it, but it wouldn’t make very much sense for Republicans — already being falsely accused of being “mobs” by liberals — to [...]
Seriously: Dems Complain About Rush Comparing Them to Nazis
6. August 2009
Really? Really? Apparently. Dear Michelle, If there was any more doubt that the right wing fringe is reaching shocking new lows by the day, Rush Limbaugh is now openly comparing the Democratic Party to Nazis and using swastikas on his website. This comes right after Minority Whip Eric Cantor said that the GOP ‘needs’ Mr. [...]
A History of Pepsi and Coke Logos
6. August 2009
Not something I usually post, but it’s interesting enough to note. Be sure to check out the second graphic, as James Joyner notes that the first is total bull. Both Pepsi and Coca Cola have changed their logos repeatedly over the course of their existences. My favorite would have to be Pepsi’s 2005 logo and [...]
Good News: City Shuts Down Lemonade Stand Due to Lack of Business License
6. August 2009
If there was one poster case for governmental regulatory overreach, this would be the one. The city of Tulare, California decided to shut down a lemonade stand run by an eight-year-old girl. Why? Because she didn’t have a business license. Eight-year-old Daniela Earnest has made lemonade out of lemons in more ways than one this [...]
Twitter Suffering from DDOS Attacks
6. August 2009
Which explains why Twitter has been slow enough today so as to leave me banging my head against the wall. If you’re not sure what a DDOS attack is, Wikipedia is your friend. Apparently the attacks took Twitter down entirely for several hours this morning. The site’s weblog had this to say: We are defending [...]
Union Chief Indicted on Corruption Charges
6. August 2009
A union official corrupt? Say it ain’t so. And yet the left isn’t screaming “mob” over the unions coming to their rescue on ObamaCare. They also aren’t attacking the unions the way they’re going after Rick Scott, who was never accused of doing anything wrong. Odd that. Just when you thought Unions (the people who [...]
