It’s reached an all-time low. The House of Representatives, on the heels of an impassioned and lively debate, voted Tuesday to formally admonish Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., for accusing the president of lying during a joint session of Congress a week ago. The vote was 240-179. Five lawmakers voted “present.” Here’s what they voted on: [...]

A lot has been made over the collapse of Fannie Mae. For a while, peeps kept insisting it was apparently a short term blip and that a huge infusion of cash would apparently make everything good. Other peeps, like me and a few others, have argued that unless they change the rules and allow [...]

Barbara Lee, Laura Richardson, and Bobby Rush met with Raul and Fidel Castro yesterday. They met the Castro brothers under the auspices of the Congressional Black Caucus. They will report their findings to Nancy Pelosi very shortly. Now, someone help me here. Why would the Congressional Black Congress be negotiating US policy? Wouldn’t it make [...]

Nancy Pelosi famously denied Democrats had any responsibility for the financial crisis that we are dealing with right now. She stills sticks with that fantasy. However, I don’t think too many people believe her. Today the Washingtonwatch blog listed the members of Congress who voted for the 2000 Consolidated Appropriations Act which allowed trading credit [...]

Yesterday was another one of those mundane days where Congress passed a whole bunch of stuff that means nothing to anyone. Two bills kinda stuck out to me for one very goofball reason: H. Res. 1021: Supporting the goals, ideals, and history of National Women’s History Month and H. Res. 1005: Supporting the goals and [...]

In the trial the prosecution successfully argued that the following events [...]
