Bart Stupak just called. He’s sure this can all be fixed with another meaningless piece of paper no one outside of the Democratic caucus takes seriously.

It would seem that Barack Obama and his allies in Congress have some friends down in Cuba. Namely, dictator Fidel Castro.

Fifty-seven Democrats in the United States Senate have voted in favor of allowing convicted sex offenders to purchase Viagra and other erectile dysfunction medications through the health care exchange.

Hoyer: We Socialists Are Being Threatened Now!
24. March 2010
Honestly, I don’t know that I believe him. So far the only report of death threats against Democrats comes from Democrats.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is warning that some of his Democratic colleagues are being threatened with violence when they [...]
