Paul Ryan to Deliver GOP State of the Union Response
Mike Allen of Politico reports that Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis) will deliver the Republican Party’s response speech to President Obama’s State of the Union address. Allen says the pick is intended to emphasize the importance of balancing the budget, what with Ryan being known for his fiscally conservative proposals. It’s a good pick. I originally [...]
House Moves to Ban Federal Abortion Funding
20. January 2011
Something conservatives, libertarians, and like-minded independents can support. In fact, you don’t even have to be pro-life to support H.R. 3. You just have to believe that the federal government has no place spending taxpayer money on extraconstitutional programs. House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) held a press conference today to [...]
Good News: America Will Keep Pandas for Five More Years
19. January 2011
My friends, smart power has finally produced results. China may be spitting in our face when it comes to defense. It may be supporting rogue authoritarian regimes even the Obama Administration considers to be direct threats to American security. It may be abusing human rights like Charlie Sheen abuses drugs and hookers. It may be [...]
House Votes to Repeal Government-Run Health Care
19. January 2011
The House of Representatives has voted by a margin of 245-189 to repeal government-run health care (ObamaCare). Three Democrats joined with all Republicans in voting in favor of the measure. One Democrat initially voted in favor and then switched. Which one? I’ll let you know when we find out. Now what? That’s pretty much it [...]
Philly Abortionist Charged with Eight Counts of Murder
19. January 2011
How vile were his alleged actions? We’re no longer in “is a fetus entitled to human rights” territory anymore. He allegedly killed babies after they were indisputably born. And he was allegedly responsible for the death of a mother whose abortion procedure he botched. Absolutely disgusting. PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A West Philadelphia abortion doctor, his [...]
House Democrat: Republicans Are Like Nazis
19. January 2011
Ah, America’s new era of civility is off to a good start. The House Democrat is Steve Cohen (D-TN), who is best known for being the only non-black to represent a black majority district. And he’s Jewish, so his invocation of Godwin’s Law on the floor of the House has a bit of extra douchebaggery [...]

Report Reveals Previously-Undisclosed F-35 Problems
18. January 2011
Hey, good thing we canceled that F-22 in favor of these totally cool, totally superior F-35s, huh? Because let me tell you, everything’s coming up roses. The F-35 Lightning II strike fighter has previously undisclosed problems with its handling, avionics, afterburner and helmet-mounted display, according to a report by the Pentagon’s Director of Operational Test [...]
Joe Lieberman to Announce Retirement Tomorrow?
18. January 2011
Apparently. And it’s really no surprise. Lieberman was able to win the general election despite losing the Democratic primary in 2006 because Republicans knew they had no chance of their nominee actually winning. Lieberman was good on the war and had a good chance to win, so Republicans (and Indies) in the state joined many [...]
Deutsch, Sharpton Lie About Arizona’s Honoring of MLK
17. January 2011
Never mind the fact that this brilliant duo conclude refusing to honor Martin Luther King Day is effectively secession from the union. That assertion is idiotic in and of itself. No, the simple fact of the matter is that they’re wrong: Arizona does recognize MLK Day, and has done so for nearly two decades. In [...]
