Pete Stark did his best in his effort to win the honor of most unhinged Representative.  It’s damn good too.  Hank Johnson going into obsessive detail over his concern of Guam tipping over ranks right up there as well.  Nancy Pelosi confidently assuring us that once we pass health care reform we’ll find out what’s [...]

Barack Obama threw the entire country under the bus with his health care “reform”.  People I know immediately made decisions affecting their very lives based on assumptions Obama said would occur, fully knowing they never would.  How many people made the argument that it would require everyone to have insurance?  Go ahead, raise your hands.  [...]
