That is, in essence, what Rep. John Conyers said as he mocked representatives on the floor insisting bills are actually read before they go up for a vote (H/T to NQ Reader tzada, for the alert). Don’t take my word for it, though. Here Representative Conyers is saying so:
“What good is it?” [...]

Thus writes John Kass in the excellent article by the same name, The campaign’s over, Obama; it’s time to lead (Major h/t to my friend, SusanUnPC for the heads up on this article). No freakin’ kidding – Obama needs to stop with all of the damn press conferences (can you believe he is getting [...]

A recent e-mail making the rounds suggests that Barack Obama’s superior education and intelligence mandates his choice as president over John McCain.

We first learned who was behind Obama and his inspiring speeches months ago. Those very speeches that excited the crowds, and drew people in. Those very speeches that many people voted for. Despite the fact that he ever really said anything more than just *hope* and *change*, people saw JFK, MLK and RFK all rolled [...]

From today’s editorial, “New and Not Improved“ in the New York Times:
Senator Barack Obama stirred his legions of supporters, and raised our hopes, promising to change the old order of things. He spoke with passion about breaking out of the partisan mold of bickering and catering to special pleaders, promised to end President Bush’s abuses [...]

What He Wants Us To Believe
Barack Obama has made recent claims indicating pay equity for women would be a top priority if he were elected President. Sounds great. In fact, it might compel some to seriously consider his candidacy.

Barack Obama has put out a new ad touting his legislative achievements. A good thing it is one of those 30 second ads. Otherwise he would have to fill it with lies like he did his first.
Strangely, Obama has decided to come clean (almost) on this ad. He removed the reference to passing a [...]
