White House Snitch Line Closes Up Shop
Exactly why isn’t clear. Was it the countless, sarcastic emails from Americans pissed off about the fact that their government was asking them to snitch on political dissenters? Were they simply not getting enough “tips” to warrant keeping the service going? Is it part of their overhaul of the way email addresses are collected? Who [...]
Wow: Sestak Says “Cash for Clunkers” Is A Mess
17. August 2009
Keep in mind that this is the same Joe Sestak who won the straw poll for Pennsylvania’s senate seat at Netroots Nation. Not only is he a Democrat, but he’s a liberal Democrat supported by far-left liberal Democrats. And yet here he is criticizing Cash for Clunkers, the crowning jewel declared as such by Barack [...]
White House Admits Spamming Americans With Talking Points
16. August 2009
You’ll recall that Major Garrett of Fox News was mocked by the left for suggesting to Robert Gibbs that the White House had been spamming Americans with talking points in emails they never requested. Some even accused Garrett of making the whole story up in order to slime the Obama Administration. Yeah, well, guess what. [...]
Chicago Gov’t To Be Closed on Monday Due to Budget
15. August 2009
That bodes well for the government taking over our nation’s health care system, huh? We’re sorry you had a heart attack, but the government is closed today in order to deal with budget constraints. The City of Chicago will basically be closed for business on Aug. 17, a reduced-service day in which most city employees [...]
Big Fail: Federal Regulators Take Over Colonial Bank
14. August 2009
Something a little closer to home for me because there are quite a few branches in my area. With $25 billion in assets, the failure is the sixth largest in American history. So we’re not talking about one of the many small banks that’ve collapsed so far in 2009 — we’re talking about front page [...]
Fake Doctor from ObamaCare Town Hall Invited by Che-Loving Obama Volunteer
14. August 2009
I’m with Allahpundit on this: It’s not so much that the connection is outrageous — though there’s something to be said about Marxists pushing for ObamaCare — but the stew is just such a delicious combination of ingredients. Mayer yesterday told me that she was invited to the town hall meeting by a listserv message [...]
Good News: Dem Congresswoman Now Charging Town Hall Entrance Fee
14. August 2009
Just wow. I’m pretty sure her constituents already pay an entrance fee when the federal government takes money from their paychecks every week. But what can I say. She wants to keep people away from speaking their minds to their elected representatives. Town Hall Breakfast meeting with Congresswoman Melissa Bean. Hear her positions on Healthcare, [...]
Sherrod Brown: We’re Not Holding Town Halls
14. August 2009
How do you know that Democrats know that ObamaCare isn’t popular amongst average Americans? They’re now refusing to even listen to their constituents out of fear that they’ll lose plausible deniability. An aide to Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) was asked by a constituent when the senator would be holding his next town hall meeting. His [...]
Intra-national Brinksmanship
14. August 2009
Brinksmanship is typically viewed as a game nations play on the international stage. The practice of brinksmanship is most commonly recognized as two opposing sides, each willing to communicate at least the impression serious reality, refusing concessions while raising the stakes relative to demands being made to such a level that disaster seems imminent. The [...]
Audio: Senator Obama Talks About Mandatory National Service
13. August 2009
Something tells me that Naked Emperor News is going to be a big pain in the ass for the Obama Administration. The anonymous source has dug up yet another troubling flashback from the archive of Barack Obama, this time of the then-senator talking about mandatory national service. There’s no indication that Obama’s talked about such [...]
