WSFA is reporting that Birmgingham, Alabama mayor Larry Langford has been arrested by the FBI on some pretty serious charges. At this point CNN nor MSNBC feel it’s a story worth printing.
If you read the local story, it’s pretty lengthy. It gets into what the background of the investigation is, who’s involved, and some of [...]

The most screwed up political issue of the Bush administration will be returning I imagine very shortly for the Obama administration. First, I want to make sure people understand where I’m coming from:
The “Bush ban on stem cells” originally was passed in 1999. Bush wasn’t president, Bill Clinton was. This was a complete ban on [...]

Nancy Pelosi had this to say yesterday:
“Our country faces a serious and worsening foreclosure crisis that is affecting millions of Americans. Addressing the underlying problem of home foreclosures, and stopping the continued drop in home values, is essential to restoring confidence in our financial system, freeing up the flow of credit consumers and small businesses, [...]

This is becoming somewhat of a routine it seems:
GM said it will nearly exhaust its cash cushion by year’s end, leaving barely enough for day-to-day operations through the first half of 2009. It said it has ended merger talks with Chrysler, delayed future product plans and cut benefits. But it said those measures may not [...]

People pretty much tend to blame employment, or lack thereof, on the President. However, economic policy and spending comes from Congress. Sure, the Senate has some input, but what gets voted on is purely the Speaker of the House’s prerogative. So, I tend to look at the politics of it all a little different. I [...]

John Sweeney had this to say in The Hill Blog:
Thursday’s economic news is not a surprise to working families. We can only hope it will be jarring enough to the White House and Republican leaders in Congress that they will finally agree with Democratic leaders that we need a genuine economic stimulus package now, in [...]

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 [...]

This one is precious. First, we start with the evidence:
When it gets real fun is when you read her rap sheet. She’s already in trouble for lying under oath to protect her nephew on manslaughter charges, tax evasion in the 90’s, and not reporting donations. Apparently the people of her district tired of her shenanigans [...]

Realizing that her very public message that Democrats never had anything to do with the finance meltdown regardless of the fact their legislation and policies OBVIOUSLY caused it to the point even Bill Clinton personally accepted some blame, Nancy’s got a new gig:
“Elect us, hold us accountable, and make a judgment and then go from [...]

Several years ago, Mark Foley was pretty well busted doing things that just weren’t terribly ethical. Nancy Pelosi and a lot of Democrat bloggers went flying off the deep end. Pelosi went so far as to demand an inquiry into how many Republicans new about Foley’s activities and did nothing about it. Of course, no [...]
