In her speech to rally the troops to vote for the Rescue package, Nancy Pelosi accepted no responsibility for past actions by either herself or any member of her party. She put the entire blame on a situation that has festered for thirty years solely on Republicans. And, then, to top it off, gave a [...]

Now, according to what I’m reading, Nancy Pelosi has agreed to consider an off-shore drilling proposal presented by Democrats. I’m sure she’ll tout this as a major new idea and an example of the failed economic policies of Bush.
However, it’s got thorns attached. From what I’m reading, and I’ve not read the actual proposals:
No Gulf [...]

That’s the teaser on CNN. Here’s some of the meat:
A Democratic point man on the budget, Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, blasted the administration for its “reckless fiscal policies,” blaming the president’s tax cuts for driving the government into deficit and saying Bush “will be remembered as the most fiscally irresponsible president in our [...]

Barack Obama’s having a rough week.
First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it. That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson:

Saudi Arabia has announced it’s increasing production by 200,000 barrels a day. There are some thoughts I have about the article.
“Saudi Arabia is concerned that sustained high oil prices will eventually slacken the world’s appetite for oil, affecting the kingdom in the long run.” I wonder what gave them that idea? Could it have been [...]

Two headlines today I think sum up the Democrat financial agenda very adeptly:
Senate Considers Windfall Profits Tax on Big Oil
And
Obama: Give economy $50 billion boost
Now, without necessarily going into the pros and cons, or the nuts and bolts, it’s just typical of teh Democrat bigger government policy. Rather than fixing the problem, just tax more [...]

A lot of people are reading things into this week’s elections. Some people claimed these elections are nothing but a national referendum on Bush and/or the Republicans. As such, I posted my “anticipated results” from the elections a few days ago. I’m still sticking with those “predictions” post-election. Now, here’s what [...]

I am basing this not on polls, because polls are just as often wrong as they are right. I am basing this on things that matter, that are really happening. The stock market has moved up strongly today. Wall Street LOVES a useless split House. When there’s no chance of significant legislation being produced for [...]
