Senate Kills Local Government Bailout in Bipartisan Vote
The United States Senate has defeated by a bipartisan vote legislation to bail out local governments by subsidizing public employee hiring — one of the key elements of Barack Obama’s unfunded Stimulus 2.0 legislation. The vote was 50-50, falling well-short of the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture. Republicans only hold 47 seats in the [...]
So, here’s R. Lee Ermey Knitting on a Flight
20. October 2011
I won’t mock because I’m pretty he could still prematurely end my life in between “knit one” and “purl two”. Besides, it takes a real man secure in his sexual identity to knit in public. I mean, it’s not like anyone is gonna question Gunny’s manliness. He’d kick your ass and then go back to [...]
Nicholas Kristof: Republicans Who Want Budget Cutbacks Want People to Face Tigers Alone
19. October 2011
Desperation isn’t pretty on you, Nick. Because that’s clearly what Republicans want. They want citizens to face deadly threats without the assistance of law enforcement. Especially in extreme cases like tigers breaking into homes. It’s not that Republicans want the government to stop wasting money on bad investments like Solyndra, never-ending welfare programs like ObamaCare, [...]
NPR Host Working as Spokesman for Occupt DC Movement
19. October 2011
Literally. National Public Radio host Lisa Simeone appears to be breaking the taxpayer-subsidized network’s ethics rules by acting as a spokeswoman for Occupy D.C. group “October 2011,” which is currently “occupying” Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. Simeone hosts NPR’s nationally syndicated “World of Opera” program and “SoundPrint,” a program that airs on NPR’s WAMU affiliate [...]
Olbermann’s Ratings Fall to Just 46,000
18. October 2011
He’s making MSNBC’s ratings look good by comparison. And yet he gets paid $10 million per year. Oh, by the way, that’s down from the early days of his program. Which means even his fellow lefties are tuning him out. Keith Olbermann is not in the witness protection program, but he might as well be. [...]

18. October 2011
She’s a charmer. Actress Susan Sarandon called Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi during a discussion session at the Hamptons Film Festival over the weekend.

You’ll soon be subsidizing television programming in the United Kingdom. And there won’t even be Sesame Street. PBS, which receives millions of dollars each year from the federal government, has announced plans to launch a new channel in the United Kingdom. Programing will include documentaries by Democrats like Ken Burns and featuring a liberal spin [...]

Nazis, Communists Throw Support Behind Occupy Protests
15. October 2011
Quite literally. The American Nazi Party should feel right at home thanks both to the virulent antisemitism and pro-socialist attitude at the protests, while the communists will love the movement’s open admiration for Che and Marx. These extreme-left protests are everything the left claimed the Tea Party protests were, and more. But do you think [...]
