Obama Skips Event, Norwegians Replace Him with Cardboard Cutout
I kid you not. Obama had quite a whirlwind day Thursday – he signed the Nobel guest book, huddled with Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, met with King Harald V and Queen Sonja, and delivered an acceptance speech after he was formally presented with the prize. He also joined the king and queen at an evening [...]
Democrats Will Lift Debt Ceiling by $1.8 Trillion
10. December 2009
Hoping to avoid facing the issue in the year of the mid-term elections, Democrats are moving to quietly raising the federal debt ceiling by about $1.8 trillion before New Year’s. It’s a new record for national debt. Reports The Politico: “We’ve incurred this debt. We have to pay our bills,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer [...]
Report: Top Al Qaida Leader Killed in Pakistan
10. December 2009
A few caveats here. First, no officials have yet gone on record confirming the kill. It’s all unnamed American officials making claims to NBC News. Second, Pakistan has strongly denied the reports. Which would seem important considering the kill allegedly took place in Pakistan, though Islamabad has little control over the region in question. Finally, [...]
GOP: The Party of “No”
10. December 2009
I’ve never understood the negative connotation that comes along with being the “Party of No”. Perhaps it’s time that the Republican Party embraced the label in a positive fashion. Admit that opponents absolutely correct. We are the party of “no”: No more big government. No higher taxes. No socialized healthcare. No bureaucrats between you and [...]
CNN Poll: GOP Pulls Even, Majority Oppose ObamaCare
10. December 2009
As Allahpundit says, “Oh my”. Keeping in mind that CNN polls tend to skew in favor of Democrats, the network’s latest poll finds Republicans statistically tied with Democrats on the general Congressional ballot. The elephants have made up 25 points worth of ground since January. According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Thursday, 40 [...]
Except Washington
10. December 2009
Everyone needs to stop spending more than they have. Everyone needs to stop racking up debts they have no hope of repaying. Except Washington. Everyone needs to stop emitting as much carbon as they have in the past. Everyone needs to cut back on the amount of time they spend flying. Except Washington. Everyone needs [...]
Reid Halts Debate of Healthcare to Attend Political Fundraiser
10. December 2009
That’s just how urgently we need to reform healthcare in our country, folks. Why, if Harry Reid needs to choose between saving his political career and debating the reform, well, no, he goes for saving his political career. Seriously. He wants the United States Senate to stop debating healthcare legislation so he can attend a [...]
Al Gore Lies About ClimateGate Emails
10. December 2009
Al Gore lying is nothing new, of course. He’s lied his way through politics and now his newly-minted career in global warming alarmism. In fact, he’s not even a particularly good liar. Go ahead; ask ManBearPig how hot the center of the planet is. Anyway, he’s back to his game and lying in pursuit of [...]
Treasury Audit: Taxpayers Lost $61 Billion on AIG, Auto Bailouts
9. December 2009
Hey, remember when we were told the government interfering in the free market wouldn’t cost us a dime? Yeah, er, turns out we were lied to. Bailing out AIG and the United Auto Workers actually cost taxpayers $61 billion. The government is losing more than $30 billion on lifelines extended to insurance giant American International [...]
House Democrat: The “Compromise” Is A Gateway for Single-Payer
9. December 2009
In other words, the “compromise” that Democrats have supposedly agreed to is actually a gateway for a socialist healthcare system, one in which private insurance companies are driven out and the government rations care. Which is, er, exactly what conservatives have been warning of for months. All while being maligned by the Obama Administration and [...]
