In Short, The Modern State of Washington
21. April 2010
Say, how does a company go about avoiding new regulation under the financial regulation reform legislation pushed by Senator Chris “Countrywide” Dodd (D-CT)? Let’s ask someone in the know: “Obtaining a carve-out isn’t rocket science,” said a Republican financial services lobbyist. “Just give Chairman Dodd [D-Conn.] and Chuck Schumer [D-N.Y.] a s***load of money.“ Welcome [...]
Suddenly, Obama Justice Department Investigating Rubio, FL GOP
21. April 2010
Amazing, huh? There’s a tight race in Florida where the Democratic candidate could benefit from Charlie Crist going rogue. And there’s the Obama Administration’s Justice Department and IRS to investigate conservative Marco Rubio and the Florida GOP! Impeccable timing, I dare say. Federal law enforcement agencies have launched a criminal investigation into the use of [...]
Democrats To Move On Amnesty Within Month
20. April 2010
Are you ready for a potentially bigger, uglier battle than the one over health care reform? According to Senator Scott Brown (R-MA), who spoke with Barack Obama today, it’s coming within the month. Democrats, eager to create a new voting block since they’ve been unable to hold on the current ones, are apparently going to [...]
Transparency: Police Chase Reporters Away From White House
20. April 2010
Remarkable. Apparently there was a gay protest in front of the White House today, with several individuals in military uniform handcuffing themselves to the fence to protest Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Normally this would barely register a blip in the media, as protests are hardly uncommon in the nation’s capital. But it was the response [...]
Nanny Statism of the Day: FDA To Regulate…Salt
20. April 2010
I’m happy to see that the federal government has solved every other problem known to man, so now it can get down to regulating how much salt I consume in any given day. Because without Uncle Sam I might just suck on the salt shaker like it’s a pacifier. The Food and Drug Administration is [...]
SCOTUS Hands Down Bad Decision on First Amendment
20. April 2010
The Supreme Court just handed down an 8-1 decision on the First Amendment, ruling that videos depicting the illegal act of animal cruelty can not be banned from sale. It’s a bad decision, and I’ll explain in a moment. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court struck down a federal law Tuesday aimed at banning videos that [...]
Senate Issues Subpoenas to White House Over Fort Hood
20. April 2010
The United States Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has evidently lost patience with the Obama Administration over the Fort Hood shooting. Five months ago Major Nidal Hasan massacred thirteen innocent people at Fort Hood. Congress is still trying to figure out how Hassan, who had known connections to Islamic radicals and expressed sympathies [...]
Eric Cantor Backs Marco Rubio for US Senate
20. April 2010
In the latest sign that Governor Charlie Crist’s run for the Republican nomination for US Senate in Florida is doomed, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) announced his backing of conservative Marco Rubio today. House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) this morning became the latest member of the Republican establishment to endorse former Florida state [...]
Obama Received Nearly $1 Million In Goldman Sachs Donations
19. April 2010
Yet another stumbling block along the left’s path to framing the Goldman Sachs scandal as one encompassing the right. Turns out Goldman Sachs was quite a big supporter of The One back a couple years back. A really big supporter. In fact, according to federal election records, Obama received $994,795 in campaign contributions from the [...]
