According to Nancy Pelosi: “Independent reports confirm that speculators are driving up the cost of oil, hurting consumers and potentially damaging the economic recovery. Wall Street profiteering, not oil shortages, is the cause of the price spike. In fact, U.S. oil production is at its highest level since 2003, and millions of acres have been [...]

Rep. Anthony Weiner had a rather notorious meltdown over the past week. Faced with accusations of sending lewd pics to women, he held a rather surreal, bizarre, and most definitely deceptive series of “interviews”. First question that needs to be asked before I go any further: QuestionsView Results I know hindsight’s 20/20. I know a [...]

Larry Elder over at RealClearPolitics writes a very nice little article retrospective of when gas prices rose under Bush, and how they are now under Obama. In his article, he mentions some comments made by Nancy Pelosi. I had tackled that one before. Just for the record, when she made the comments criticizing Bush and [...]

It’s been a strange week. Not that any have been terribly normal since January 2009. First we had Howard Stern trashing Democrats: To which Robert Gibbs suggested the “professional left” should be drug tested. Howard Stern on drugs? No way. Also during this day of both Perseids AND a massive CME, Gibbs suggested those same [...]

It’s now come to light that apparently felons in Minnesota gave us Al Franken. Imagine that. Nancy Pelosi has promised us that she will do everything in her power to diligently uphold the highest ethical standards in Congress that she possibly can and not allow HER Congress to return to the moral and ethical abyss [...]

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 [...]

Obama made transparency a big deal when he was running. The assumption was Bush was making all these backroom deals. I don’t think he was. Call it a hunch. So, Obama, pandering to the masses, promised to tell them everything. That has led to an odd result. First there was Nancy Pelosi’s well informed pitch [...]
