Surprise: Pelosi Accepted Significantly More Lobbyist Cash Than Boehner
Relevant because the White House, which has issued waiver after waiver to allow lobbyists to work in the administration, has been on a crusade against the left’s new favorite bogeyman for having ties to Washington lobbyists. Timothy Carney of the Washington Examiner points out an inconvenient truth for Washington Democrats: Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Speaker [...]

Jerry Brown Becomes Desperate, Attacks Bill Clinton
13. September 2010
California gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown has become desperate in his campaign against Republican opponent Meg Whitman. Video from a campaign event shows Brown attacking former President Bill Clinton, calling him a “liar” and rehashing his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Of Course: O’Donnell Set to Win Primary, Lose General Election
12. September 2010
Christine O’Donnell will be the purest conservative loser we’ll nominate this year. It looks like there’s a real possibility of a major upset in the Delaware Senate primary on Tuesday night, with insurgent conservative Christine O’Donnell leading longtime Congressman and Governor Mike Castle 47-44. That 3 point lead is well within the poll’s margin of [...]
Obama’s Top Economist: Expect Long-term High Unemployment
12. September 2010
Even Barack Obama’s top economist has come to face reality: The unemployment rate isn’t falling anytime soon.

Boehner Strikes Back Over New York Times Hit Piece
12. September 2010
John Boehner is striking back at the New York Times over the left-wing paper’s shoddy hit piece on the Minority Leader.

There is no [...]

Thanks, Obama: Poverty On Track To Post Record Increase
12. September 2010
Census figures for 2009 will be released next week and demographers are expecting grim news. According to projections, 45 million people — or 1 in 7 citizens — lived in poverty during 2009. That would be in the range of 1960s levels, when the federal government declared a (failed) war on poverty. If those figures [...]
Obama: No Solar Panels On White House Roof
12. September 2010
For a couple of reasons. First of all, even the most leftist White House in history has to draw the leftist image line somewhere. Putting solar panels on the historic executive building? You might as well go the full distance and sing Kumbaya on the front lawn or shuttle the president around in a Volkswagen [...]
Poll: One in Three Spaniards Is Anti-Semitic
11. September 2010
A disturbing new poll released by the Spanish government finds one in three Spaniards holding anti-Semitic views. In fact, just forty-six percent hold a positive view of Jews and one in nine believe that Israel should “disappear”. Actually, this isn’t the first indication of widespread antisemitism in Spain.
