It’s Time For OWS Folks To Go Home Already *Open Thread* »

Amazingly, Occupy Wall Street continues to be in the news, though not quite so positively now as more violence erupts in major cities. Not to mention the sexual assaults by OWS men against OWS women coming to light despite the attempts by OWS people to cover it up. Indeed, the polls are showing people are [...]

“We’re Better Now Than We Would Have Been,” So Sayeth Obama *Updated* Open Thread »

Over the past few years, according to Obama. Yes, he really did. He claimed we were better off now. See for yourselves:

OWS Supporters, And Obama Supporters (the 1%) *OPEN THREAD* »

I came across a list today of Occupy Wall Street Supporters, the 99%-ers. I won’t spoil it by giving you all of them for space reasons (and I cut out a few in the part of the list below), but oh, wow – there are some doozies on there. Don’t worry – you will definitely [...]

Secretary Clinton Claims “Fast and Furious” Was News To Her, And Voices Grow Against Holder »

Not long ago, I reported that there were questions as to whether or not the State Department had been in the know about the DOJ’s “Gunwalking” program due to the connections in Mexico. While I was out of town, it seems Secretary Clinton addressed that very question (major H/T to Artemis for sending me this [...]

TGIF – Halloween Weekend *Open Thread* »

There have been a whole bunch of scary occurrences leading up to this Halloween weekend. Many of them have been by President Obama, who wants to cast Republicans as evil haters of clean water, air, and, well, all life as we know it, apparently. Ahem. The trial of Michael Jackson’s doctor continues, the OWS continue [...]

Another Federal Agent Lost Due To “Fast and Furious”? *Updated* »

Sadly, so it would appear. You may recall a story from back in February of this year regarding two ICE agents attacked in a brutal assault down in Mexico. One agent was injured, the other, Jaime Zapata, was killed. Now it appears that Agent Zapato was killed as a result of a weapon from the [...]

Obama, Mr. Doom and Gloom »

Good grief, have you caught Obama on the campaign trail recently? Mr. Hope and Change has become Mr. Doom and Gloom. His new campaign rhetoric is to go around the country telling you how horrible the Republicans are, and all of the terrible things that will befall you, your children, and the country, should you [...]

Where The Hell Was Kathleen Parker In 2008? »

Y’all, I swear, I just about spit out my cappuccino when I read the beginning of this recent column by Kathleen Parker, “Obama’s African American Supporters Shouldn’t Play The Race Card.” Why yes, Ms. Parker, that is true, nor should they have back in 2008. For some reason, she seems to think this is a [...]

King Obama Doesn’t Need No Stinkin’ Constitution *OPEN THREAD* »

President Obama has done his darndest to go around Congress on a number of issues. His latest attempted end-run is for those who are in over their heads with their mortgages. Not just any mortgages, of course – only those by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. You know, the very institutions which helped to get [...]

Harry Reid And Joe Biden Have Gone Off The Deep End »

Seriously. I don’t know what he and Joe Biden are smoking or drinking these days, but they need to stop. They are just making idiots of themselves in public on our dimes. First to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Reid has declared that the problem with unemployment isn’t the lack of private sector jobs. Nope, [...]

“The GOP Is Stupid, And I Do, Too, Want Long Term Insurance!” »

That’s the latest from our illustrious (cough, cough) president in a nutshell. The problem with his jobs bill isn’t what is IN the jobs bill, but that the GOP is just too darn stupid to get it through their thick heads what an awesome, fantastic, super duper plan it is, or at least all at [...]

Gunwalking? Make that “Grenade Walking.” The Plot Thickens… »

Or rather the insanity that is the United States’ “Gunwalking” program thickens. Turns out a new “wrinkle” to the program has been revealed. It wasn’t just guns that made their way to Mexican drug cartels under the auspices of this bone-headed program, but grenades as well. Intrepid reporter, Sharyl Atttkisson reported for CBS News brings [...]

A Little Karma, A Big Mouth, A Stunning Copper Crime, And A Kitty Caper *Open Thread* »

First, at long last, the head of Solyndra finally, and very, very quietly, stepped down this past Friday from his post. Yes, CEO Brian Harrison is out at the failed solar company (I reckon that shouldn’t REALLY be a surprise, right?). The report claims it is unclear if Mr. Harrison left when he did for [...]

“Let The Sun In, Let The Sunshine In…” »

Well, well, well, as predicted, Solyndra was the mere tip of the iceberg of the Obama Administration’s giving away our money to companies who were failing. Only this was was for a whole lot more, $1.2 billion to be exact. The iceberg is finally being exposed: As failed solar panel manufacturer Solyndra rides through the [...]

“Bigger Than Watergate” »

So say Obama officials about the “Fast and Furious” program, according to Sharyl Attkisson (h/t to Helenk for this article). This story is moving fast now, with Holder being issued a subpoena by Congressional investigators finally (again, thanks, Helenk!). But I don’t want to get ahead of myself. What Ms. Attkisson said in a recent [...]
