You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

(This is essential reading that I bumped up - Susan)

Why the hell most of us pay our taxes. Because it seems to me that it is just the regular folks out there who are bothering to do that. Believe it or not, I am not even talking about Tax Fraud Director of the IRS, Tim Geithner, either. Are you ready for [...]

Once again Obama cannot choose an appointee who is not ethically challenged.
Centrist, milquetoast Democrat Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS) hopes to resign from her position as Governor of Kansas in order to assume the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services under her friend Barack Obama. But she is yet to be confirmed for the [...]

Oh, y’all are gonna love this story. I am sure everyone remembers that our new Secretary of The Treasury is a big ol’ Tax Frauder. So are Tom Daschle, and several other people Obama has nominated for positions - TOP positions - in our government. (I still cannot believe that our Senate approved [...]

Howard Dean reacts to being told he has no shot at being the new head of HHS
Barack Obama would not be where he is today without Howard Dean. The former Vermont Governor and DNC Chairman created the blueprints that David Axelrod would expand upon to garner the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination for [...]

In his UK Telegraph piece Barack Obama Is A Novice - And It Shows, Toby Harnden details the rookie stumbles of the new President. For me, this is less about condemning Pres. Obama for making such errors in judgment or losing control of his message, or even that he does not practice in office [...]

Editor’s Note: Thanks, Uppity, for a great piece, for which I’m planning a follow-up. This is precisely what terrified me about Obama’s health care and privatization plans for Social Security, which his ga-ga supporters utterly ignored because they were in fantasy land over this phony baloney post-partisanship (whatever that is, well, it’s nothing but B.S.

So the Senate has hammered out their version of the stimulus bill. Despite their claims, they have actually added $7 BILLION to the House Stimulus version. Now, the two will get together and haggle out the differences. Great. Sure will be interesting to see what stays in the “Stimulus Bill” and [...]

We are only sixteen days into the age of the new messiah and his angel wings are in danger of falling off.
Consider, for example, that The One promised a new way of doing business in Washington but is responsible for managing the vetting of prospective nominees that green-lights not one but three tax [...]

Bumped up from early morning, with these additional thoughts:
UPDATE #3 (uh, did Obama know this when he decided on Gregg?): “Gregg Voted to Kill Commerce Before He Agreed to Lead It”, CQ Politics, February 2, 2009:
