To the Health Care Industry, Big Pharma, and a few select states. Yes, in the wee hours of the morning (okay, 7:00 a.m.), the Senate voted to pass the Health-Care-less-what-the-people-and-physicians-say Bill. Oh, yes – what a banner day. The Senate rammed through a bill so fraught with problems it [...]

Oh, boy. This doesn’t look good for ACORN, not that much does these days. You may recall that Dale Rathke, one of the two founders of ACORN, had embezzled $1 million dollars, according to this NY Times article. That became the widely accepted amount, not that that embezzlement stopped our government from [...]

Harry Reid has finally grown a backbone, it seems. His timing for it, though, is disturbing, to say the least. When he was first picked for Senate Majority Leader, I thought that maybe he really would be a stand up guy, a fighter, as his former boxing career would suggest. Well, he’s [...]

You are simply NOT going to believe this undercover discovery of just what you can get from ACORN on the Taxpayer Dime (do a search for ACORN at No Quarter for reminders about this organization,a s well as ACORN’s connections to Obama and the DNC, especially Barney Frank). Intrepid reporter James O’Keefe found out [...]

David Axelrod manufactures commodities, not politicians: they don suits; they read teleprompters; they promise something new and unprecedented; but these newfangled objects cannot govern. No, I am not referring to Barack Obama, although this news does not bode well for Axelrod’s latest product; I am discussing Deval Patrick, who according to a 7News [...]

I’ll be honest upfront with my opinion. I see them as little parasites made from hijacked taxpayer dollars that members of Congress attach to totally unrelated bills for the purpose of impressing their own constituents. President Obama rallied against the considerable flab involved, but signed the 2009 omnibus spending bill anyway, with 9,309 [...]

At the end of last summer, John McCain stated, “The fundamentals of the economy are strong.”

“You know,” said McCain, “there’s been tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street and it is — people are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think, still the fundamentals of our economy are strong. But [...]

That’s what Nancy Pelosi thinks our Air Force is – her personal taxi service. Yes, the Watchdog group, Judicial Group, has found some mighty information out about Speaker Pelosi’s personal of Air Force personnel and equipment in THIS article. The information obtained was through a Freedom of Information Act request.

ABOVE: Senator Robert Menendez is ready to deck who ever amended the omnibus spending bill to include a provision relaxing trade and travel sanctions with Cuba

The eruption of street protests around the country against the “stimulus bill”, as depicted in this video, certainly took me by surprise. I never expected anything like this so soon, if at all.
So what happens next? Is this the start of something that is likely to snowball? Will others take to [...]

But Paul Krugman is. And he had this to say about the team Obama has put together to deal with the economy: All the President’s Zombies. Nice title, eh? Pretty much sums it up, but Mr. Krugman does go on to explain:
Ben Bernanke’s testimony over the past two days gives us our [...]

With the market making new lows for the year, global economies showing increasing signs of distress, and new programs emanating from Washington, where does one find some sanity around here??
We’ll be departing from “LD’s Central Station” on Saturday at 9:00 am EST until 12 noon to attempt to put some clarity into this madness!! [...]

In Uppity’s earlier piece on “You’ve Been Stimulated” she presents John Boehner’s video about the indecent speed with which the “stimulus package” was passed.
No doubt I will have the Obots screaming again about being partisan in siding with a Republican spokesman about the “stimulus package”, but GOP Congressional leader John Boehner raises [...]

The giveaway bill to special interests Porkulus Stimulus Bill has been passed.
I would especially like to congratulate all the young Obama supporters, because you are all going to be paying this bill off for the rest of your lives, except for the part you pass onto your kids. Mom and Dad won’t [...]

With so much hooey going on – the stimulus package that is primarily a laundry list of every pet project people could conceive, as well as paybacks for all of the “help” given Obama to get into the White House, I thought we could all use a little comic relief. Here, then, is Jon [...]
