Ruh Roh: Questions Arise About Megrahi’s Real Health Status
Apparently only one physician is actually willing to vouch for the claim that Megrahi only has three months to live. And that doctor reportedly has absolutely no expertise in the area. Which is a problem, considering that the whole excuse the Scottish government gave for releasing the mass murderer was compassion in the final months [...]

Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) has died of brain cancer at the age of 77. Developing… Update: A statement from the family: “We’ve lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever,” the Kennedy family said [...]
Leftists Vandalize Democrat HQ in Denver
25. August 2009
Why? Apparently so they could blame the whole thing on the right wing. Another fake hate crime intended to demonize people who had nothing to do with it, in other words. And that’s exactly what Colorado Democrats attempted to do. A 24-year-old arrested this morning on suspicion of smashing 11 windows at Colorado Democratic Party [...]
WSJ: The Deficit Is Much Worse Than You Think
25. August 2009
It’s bad enough that Paul Krugman, last seen singing the praises of massive government spending, calls it bad. The highlights are thanks to Allahpundit, though the whole thing is a must-read. Many of the current budget assumptions are laughably implausible. Both the White House and CBO predict that Congress will hold federal spending at the [...]
Obama State Department Stops Issuing Visas to Honduras
25. August 2009
This is what we in the business call a “hissy fit”. The Honduran Supreme Court decided to reject a compromise that would’ve put the anti-democratic Manuel Zelaya back into power after repeatedly violating his country’s constitution, so Obama — dedicated to reinstating the Hugo Chavez stooge — has the State Department no longer issuing visas [...]
Congressman Gets Standing Ovation for Opposing Single-Payer
25. August 2009
Blue Dog Democrats take note: While a few members of the audience approve of a single-payer health care system, the overwhelming majority rise up for a standing ovation when Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL) reiterates his staunch opposition to socialized health care. Also take note of the respect Bachus shows for the opposing view. That’s in [...]
Peter Orszag Working Hard to Make Joe Biden Look Smart
25. August 2009
And he’s succeeding! After showing himself to be incompetent by being completely and entirely wrong in his projections on the national deficit and GDP retraction, Orszag has taken to his blog to post absolutely moronic commentary. His solution for an outrageous deficit, climbing national debt, and a GDP in greater retraction than he projected? More [...]
Obama Donor Arrested for Massive Fraud
25. August 2009
He’s a Hillary Clinton donor, too, which would make jim the second major Clinton donor arrested for fraud in just the last two years alone. The first was Norman Hsu, who committed about $20 million in fraud. This guy makes Hsu pale in comparison, accused of fraud more than 3 times that size. Hassan Nemazee [...]
But Of Course: GDP Decline Twice As Worse as Obama Projected
25. August 2009
The original 1.2% retraction projection was touted by the Obama apologist media as evidence that the stimulus package had worked and the recession was coming to an end. I received countless messages and comments from leftists insisting that the number was evidence that the Obama economic policies were an unmitigated success. Well, guess what. It [...]
KSM’s Family Was Threatened. So What?
24. August 2009
Sorry, but I’m not shedding tears just because the man responsible for the 9/11 attacks wasn’t treated nicely or because the CIA made hollow threats against his family members. Does anyone here really think that KSM believed that his wife and kids would be harmed by the CIA if he didn’t hand over information? If [...]
