July 9, 2009
By

The democrats’ promised destruction of the American health care industry hit a little bump in the road when the Blue Dogs demanded some changes. Okay, so it’s not the best news, but it’s better than nothing. The longer it takes them to get a bill out for a vote, the longer we have for...

I must have heard wrong

July 9, 2009
By

This morning while shuttling the kids to baseball camp an AP Radio news report at the top of the hour started with “There is a glimmer of hope in the economy.”  Then the story: another half a million or so unemployed, consumer confidence down, and more layoffs expected. I listened carefully for the “glimmer...

Congressional Report Says Fannie and Freddie Chief Culprits in Financial Crisis

Gee, who knew. CNS News reports that a congressional report places the blame for the financial crisis squarely on the shoulders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the politicians who made it possible. Will this news make the Main Stream Media? If the media bothered to report the truth last year perhaps Americans...

I’m working behind the scenes again on the design of this site. Hopefully it won’t effect you being able to load or view the blog, but just in case, it shouldn’t take me too much longer. If there are some weird looking things on the new design, not to worry. I’m working on it....

More News of the Day

July 9, 2009
By

Jeb Bush weighed in on President Obama. When asked if he thinks the president is a socialist, the former Florida governor didn’t mince words. He said he doesn’t know if he’s a socialist but he is a collectivist. That’s hardly an endorsement. After a few members of the White House press corps griped about...

Good news! Senate puts off cap and trade!

July 9, 2009
By

Finally, a little good news, at least for the summer. Via Hot Air, The Washington Post reports that consideration of a cap and trade bill will be put off by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee until at least September. That should give us plenty of time to spread the message that passage...

White House: It’s not a $6000 purse, it’s a $900 purse!

July 9, 2009
By

It’s good to know the First Family isn’t experiencing the recession. Next month they will be vacationing with the elites on Martha’s Vineyard. And a little flap has erupted over First Lady Michelle Obama’s purse. Back in April she wore a pair of $540 Lanvin sneakers at a Washington food bank. Earlier this week...

Obama’s Health Care Double Speak

July 9, 2009
By

President Obama is continuing his practice of appearing to be in favor of both sides of every issue. It’s starting to look like the White House has a severe communication problem. Rahm Emanuel or Vice President Joe Biden will say one thing, Obama will say the opposite. And Obama is constantly contradicting himself. This is...

Cradle to Grave: Schumer proposes $500 for every baby born.

July 9, 2009
By

New York Senator Chuck Schumer must think money grows on trees. His latest proposal is to give every baby born in the US $500, plus another $500 a year until the age of 18. That’s better than a chicken in every pot. Schumer on Wednesday unveiled a proposal to make the $500 payments a...

July 9, 2009
By

Well then, can we just scrap it? Ha! Not on your life! Via Heritage Barbara Boxer had the nerve to say Crap and Tax won’t involve any tax increases. Funny, huh? But it gets worse. Although estimates of the cost of Crap and Tax range from $5.7 trillion to $9 trillion, democrats want to push...

Creepy – Justice Ginsburg thought Roe was to rid us of undesirables

I thought I read this wrong – her first thought on Roe v. Wade was eugenics?!? Then I thought “It is Ruth Bader Ginsberg.” It’s still creepy.  Via Free Republic, WND reports on an astonishing admission by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Her remarks, set to be published in the New York Times Magazine this Sunday...

Karl Rove: Don’t trust Obama

July 9, 2009
By

This may be Karl Rove’s best critique of President Obama to date. Rove lays out the facts. In February Mr. Obama promised that Porkulus would be an economic panacea – halting job losses and stimulating the economy. His fuzzy math is getting fuzzier by the day. Yet he expect us to trust him on...

July 9, 2009
By

Just when you thought you’d seen it all! Via Ace of Spades HQ  A majority of young people still approve of Obama’s job performance, but a majority of seniors over 64 now don’t (54%). Maybe they’ll die before the next election. What a class act, that Andrew Malcolm. Tweetvaso link
