(Bumped up Saturday a.m. from Friday afternoon.)
With Fox News against the White House attempt to censor the cable network. Check that, to shut DOWN the network. I am assuming that, by now, you have heard of the concentrated attacks on the Fox News Network by Administration officials, and the president himself. Larry [...]

One just has to wonder what prompted the child in the video below to ask Obama the question he did. Maybe people in his household were decrying the lack of it, or maybe this child was picking up on the animosity in the air, or maybe he just wanted to share the good news [...]

Editor: This op-ed was first published at The Daily Beast and is reprinted with the express permission of John Batchelor.
Suddenly the disgraced and demoralized Republican Congress has an unearned future, thanks to the superhuman clumsiness of a man who has made himself indispensable to the Obama administration and insufferable to the Democratic Congress, chief of [...]

Tina Brown, Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Beast, in her article Obama’s Other Wife, postulates that Hillary is a “brilliant policy wonk,” caring more about the “substance of work than the trappings,” yet the very title of her piece is insulting, indicating Secretary Clinton has completely sublimated herself to the President. At the same time, [...]

That would be the Economic Stimulus bill, the one shoved through in such a hurry, no one had time to read it. No, they could not be bothered to take one WEEK to comb through the more than one THOUSAND pages of this bill. Maybe, just maybe, if they had, they would have [...]

Since AIG is big in the news right now, with Obama claiming his faux outrage over the bonuses, and Chris Dodd saying, “Don’t blame me!” “I mean, do blame me!” (c’mon, don’t you KNOW Rahm Emanuel showed Chris just how they do it in Chicago to make him take the fall for this?), I [...]

As in Charles Krauthammer and Paul Krugman, that is. One is typically more conservative, one is more liberal, and both had columns this week on how Obama is dealing with our financial crisis, or not. Now, I have long enjoyed Paul Krugman’s work - he is a brilliant, brilliant man (the Nobel Prize Committee [...]

As noted here at NQ, there’s an aspect of the Commerce / Judd Gregg story far more relevant to the people’s representation and power in the federal government, along with the all-important funding of Congressional districts, than which political appointee will sit in the secretary’s seat.
On February 6th, NQ featured two posts [...]

Editor’s Note: Don’t miss Larry Doyle’s radio show tonight at 8 p.m. ET, “No Quarter’s Dollars and Sense with LD.”

The American populace knows that the primary architects in the formulation of the Stimulus Plan working its way through Congress are Rahm Emanuel, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. This contingent, along with President Obama, have not [...]

LisaB, earlier today, asked a lot of sharp questions about the Obama administration’s move of the census out of the Department of Commerce and into the White House.
Now, why would Rahm Emanuel want the Census under his control in the White House? Huh? Why might that be? “The census is [...]

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 [...]

This is an economics warm-up! Check in after 9:00 a.m. today for Larry Doyle’s terrific “Central Station” where you can quiz Larry, who’s also known as LD, on everything to do with economics.

According to John Kass in this VERY good piece from January 9, Chickens Dancing, Roosting in 5th District (major H/T to KenoshaMarge via NH). I tell you, that is one courageous man given how so many of Obama’s critics, or people close to him, are silenced tout suite. But that as not stopped [...]

Andy Borowitz had the following as his post on January 8. FINALLY, someone acknowledges the power of Obama’s oration:
“Obama Hopes to Calm Americans With Series of Boring Speeches, Economic Address Contains Opposite of Stimulus:
Hoping to calm a nation whose nerves have been rattled by economic woes, President-elect Barack Obama today delivered the first in [...]

When Gov. Rendell made his obnoxious comment about Gov. Janet Napolitano. You may remember it from this Campbell Brown video:
Well, despite his protestations to the contrary, when Gov. Rendell decided to endorse CHRIS MATTHEWS in his run for the 2010 US Senate run in PA, he pretty much sealed his own place in the [...]

[Truthteller's piece is terrific. I've added the latest video from the guys at the Nose On Your Face at the end. I think it is a dandy companion for this piece.]

Times Online reports calls for Emanuel’s resignation as Obama’s Chief of Staff. I quote with emphasis:
THE bullish, foul-mouthed but effective Chicago arm-twister Rahm Emanuel has come under pressure to resign as Barack Obama’s chief of staff after it was revealed that he had been captured on court-approved wire-taps discussing the names of candidates for [...]

I must admit to being very worried at this point in time. Once again, Obama is “sobered and saddened’ by the horrid revelations surrounding the arrest of Governor Blagojevich, and once again, P.E. Obama seems to be contradicting himself and/or his campaign manager about meetings or conversations that took place or did not take [...]
