Prediction: Bill Daley Gets Chief of Staff Job
I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict that Bill Daley, brother of outgoing Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, will become the next White House chief of staff. Why? 1) It’s a bit too coincidental that Richard Daley suddenly cleared the way for Rahm Emanuel to run for Chicago mayor, and in turn Emanuel’s departure [...]
Poll: 68% of Nevada Republicans Regret Nominating Angle
5. January 2011
Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but it seems Nevada Republicans don’t believe Sharron Angle was a viable candidate who was robbed by the corrupt Nevada establishment (though that certainly didn’t help). Bottom line: 68% say they wouldn’t renominate her if given the chance while 27% are content having had her as the nominee. Did Angle [...]
Homeless Man With “Golden Voice” is Felon
5. January 2011
The heartwarming story of a homeless man whose “golden voice” may be his ticket off the streets just took an odd turn. It turns out that the homeless man, whose name is Ted Williams, has a length criminal history. The convicted felon has spent quite some time in prison for theft, robbery, escape, forgery, and [...]
Senate Democrats Unveil Package to Reduce Minority’s Power
5. January 2011
Now that they’re no longer in the minority and no longer possess enough votes to override a filibuster attempt, Senate Democrats want to change the rules. And today they unveiled a “reform” package that makes it much harder for the minority party, which was just granted more power by voters, to have a say in [...]
Obama Administration Paying Google to Direct “ObamaCare” Searches to Spin Sites
5. January 2011
I honestly don’t get it. Not the taxpayer-funded propaganda — that I understand coming from this administration. What I don’t get is how long it took for so many people to pick up this story. I wrote about it on December 17th. And my posting was only based upon a Weasel Zippers post on the [...]
ACLU Founders Were Fans of Stalin
5. January 2011
No surprise. The American Civil Liberties Union was actually named the National Civil Liberties Bureau until 1920. Why the name change? An investigation was launched into its defense of seditious individuals. The organization was accused of using its resources to assist socialist and communist efforts. The current ACLU was founded in 1920 by Roger Baldwin, [...]

Robert Gibbs May Leave Ministry of Truth for Private Sector
5. January 2011
My friends, a dark hour may soon be upon us. Beltway Bob may soon be leaving the Ministry of Truth for a job in the private sector, thus ending my midday enjoyment at his expense. Obama has been mulling for months the possibility of naming former commerce secretary William Daley to be his chief of [...]
New York Coffee Party Group Changes Name to “Coffee and Caring Club”
5. January 2011
Apparently “Wimpy-Ass Liberals Living Up to Every Conservative Stereotype” was taken. The Coffee Party Ithaca Area changed its name to better depict issues worked on. Coffee and Caring Club Ithaca Area is the new name. Lyn Stone, oganizer said, “We’re a local grassroots organization that works on humanitarian, social and political issues that affect our [...]
