At Long Last, Certification To End DADT »

Finally. Finally the Powers-That-Be plan to certify that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” cease to be the law of the land. Once Obama signs off on it, that is. And it will take a couple more months before it is so, but still, better than nothing. I, for one, am very glad this law will no [...]

Who Knew The White House Could Be Even More Obtuse? »

But yet, they can. This has got to be my all-time fave from the current White House spokeseasel, Jay Carney. He came out with a real doozy in response to some questions from ABC News journalist, Jake Tapper regarding the debt issue with which we are dealing: [snip] TAPPER: OK. The House is passing something [...]

Some Things I Don’t Get »

One would have to be living under a rock to not be aware of the struggles going on in Washington, SC, over the debt ceiling and the budget. Jay Leno used the following video to sum up the bickering on Capitol Hill: Uh, yeah. That sounds about right.

What A Bargain – NOT! (Corrected) »

That would be the cost of each new job saved by the $666 billion dollar stimulus. A bargain it most definitely was not. But can we just pause for a moment as we look at this figure – 666? I mean, really – can this be a coincidence that the number for the Anti-Christ is [...]

It’s Official – The World Has Gone To Hell In A Handbasket **Updated** »

Update below the fold. You know, I really should stop being astonished at the news, the sheer upside-down-ness of the world in which we live. But, no – I suppose I still expect a modicum of sanity to prevail. Sadly, that expectation fell far short when I saw some of the following news stories. For [...]

An Important Segment Of Palin’s Emails Overlooked? »

How much have you heard about the death threats revealed in Sarah Palin’s emails since their release? Probably not much, I would wager. That was the point Jim Treacher of the Daily Caller made on Thursday, too: [snip] AGAINST her, that is. Yep, it turns out there was some news hidden in those thousands of [...]

The Most “Transparency” And “Change” Money Can Buy »

Now, I know that many of us – members of the “reality based community” – did not believe for one skinny second that Barack Obama was ever going to be transparent or bring real change to the White House. Frankly, it is ludicrous on its face to refer to someone as “transparent” who refused to [...]

Tell Me Again Who It Is Who Hates Senior Citizens? »

Ever since Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) unveiled his Budget Plan, Republicans have been attacked for hating seniors, wanting to gut Medicare, and wanting old people to die. Or so you would think. Heck, I think you could say the Republicans were being just plain hateful toward seniors, especially considering the comments by DNC Chair, Rep. [...]

Even In Exonerating Palin, Politico Smears Her »

Politico has an article out about Sarah Palin and her 24,000 pages of emails, featured on the front page of my local newspaper, the Post and Courier (P&C has teamed up with Politico for the election season)This is quite a feat. Even as Molly Ball acknowledges that the release of Palin’s emails show her to [...]

Obama, “What, Me Worry?” And Other News (& Open Thread) »

That would be the Obama Administration response to the economic crisis in which we find ourselves. Oh, wait – I’m sorry, I meant to say the “bump in the road” we are enduring. Pay no attention to the rising unemployment numbers, the falling number of jobs created, or the continuing decline of housing market. I [...]

All Aflutter Over Palin’s Paul Revere Comments **UPDATED** »

Update below the fold. Oh, my – Sarah Palin really stepped in it this time, didn’t she? She completely bungled the history of Paul Revere while up North. Yes, this short little clip says it all: What an idiot, right? I mean ALL the Lefty blogs and news channels are claiming so, from Think Progress [...]

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Lying Ways Follow Obama’s Lead **Open Thread** »

And the Democrats’ Magical Mystery Tour continues, from Obama on down, lying through their teeth about Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan. Bear in mind, first and foremost, that the Obamacare program, voted into law SOLELY by Democrats, contains MASSIVE cuts to Medicare. Doctors are now limiting Medicare patients as a result. But that doesn’t stop the [...]

I Have Some Questions »

On Thursday, Obama signed – via computer – an extension for the Patriot Act, after it was passed by the House and Senate. This allows it to be in effect until June 1, 2015. You remember the Patriot Act – it is the one many of us were furious about when the Bush Administration came [...]

“O’Bama? Oh, Puh-Lease!” »

That is the headline of this entertaining, and accurate, assessment of Obama’s Ireland visit by James Delingpole, “O’Bama? Ph, Puh-lease!“. Many of us saw his visit there as overblown, but only someone in the UK could pull this off: Ah Bejaysus and Begorrah! Oi’ll be swearin’ boi the auld shrine to the Vorgin with the [...]

Want To Opt Out Of Obamacare? Try Nancy Pelosi’s District **OPEN THREAD** UPDATED »

Update below the fold. I am sure this will be a shock to you, but fully 20% of Obamacare waivers are in Nancy Pelosi’s district. (Okay, I cannot restrain myself – how much does it look like Obama is telling Nancy, “don’t you worry, sweetie, I will always love you” or something along those lines? [...]
