British Ambassador Mourns Death Of Terrorist Leader
Senior CNN editor Octavia Nasr was justifiably fired yesterday for praising Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah on Twitter. Fadlallah was the spiritual leader for Hezbollah, an internationally-designated terror organization. In addition, Fadlallah denied the Holocaust, justified suicide bombings against innocent civilians, and was even believed responsible for the murder of 241 United States Marines in the [...]
Alvin Greene: We Could Create Jobs By Making Dolls Of Me
7. July 2010
And yet, as one commenter said at Hot Air, this guy would only be the fifth craziest member of the Senate. Which says more about the current state of the Senate than Alvin Greene with his felony charges and baby shoes. It is clear, too, in the course of the two hours I spend with [...]
NSA Launches Most Orwellian Named Project Evuh

Dude, it’s a program called “Perfect Citizen”. What would that be in Newspeak? I’m thinking PerfCit.
Pennsylvania To Borrow $600 Million For Pet Projects
7. July 2010
The state of Pennsylvania is already cash-strapped to the point where county-level family crisis services had to be cut. But Governor Ed Rendell (D) can still find $10 million to build the Arlen Specter Library. And $20 million to build an American Revolution Center in Philadelphia. And $30 million for a a biologics manufacturing facility [...]

We covered the original story on Monday. Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah was a spiritual mentor for internationally-designated terror group Hezbollah.

Fadlallah died on Sunday. [...]
ABC News: Obama Lied About Berwick’s Nomination
7. July 2010
We already knew that, of course, but it’s nice to see Jake Tapper of ABC News pointing it out. Long story short: Obama recess appointed Donald Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services today, allowing him t0 bypass the Senate confirmation process until the end of next year. Why bypass the constitutional [...]
House Democrat Ellsworth Runs Against Himself
7. July 2010
Recognizing how difficult November will be for Democrats, Representative Brad Ellsworth (D-NC) has decided to bring hackishness to a whole new level: He’s running against himself for United States Senate. In a new television ad, the two-term Congressman blasts Washington for wasting our money. One problem: Ellsworth voted in favor of ObamaCare and TARP — [...]
Drug Lobby Begins Pro-Reid Advertising Campaign
7. July 2010
Inevitable. ObamaCare was bad for the average American but it was a boon for the drug industry.
Obama Appoints Socialist To Head Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
7. July 2010
I’m not one to liberally throw around the “socialist” label, but if there’s anyone in the Obama Administration that deserves it, it’s this guy. Let’s just say he’s really anxious to “redistribute wealth”. Really, really anxious. In fact, he admitted before an audience in 2008 that his model for health care is the British single-payer [...]
House Dem: VA Covered Up HIV Exposure Risk
6. July 2010
The Veterans Administration waited three months before alerting more than 1,800 veterans to the risk of HIV exposure at a St. Louis dental facility. Representative Bob Filner (D-CA), chairman of the House Veteran Affairs Committee, is now lambasting the Obama Administration over the attempted cover-up. The Department of Veterans Affairs last month sent a letter [...]
