Within one day after President Obama was sworn in for his second term, Harry Reid was putting in motion the vote to eliminate most filibusters.

The economy Obama inherited

January 26th, 2010 | 2 Comments

A full year into Obama‘s four year term, he’s still passing the buck: “Today’s report from C.B.O. confirms that the recession inherited from the Bush Administration continues to erode the budget’s bottom line,” said Representative John M. Spratt Jr., the Democrat of South Carolina who is chairman of the House Budget Committee. From the start [...]

Obama referendum or not?

November 4th, 2009 | No Comments

I know everyone thinks I’m going to say last night was a referendum and Obama’s toast.  But, I’m not going to just toss that out there.  This is what I do think. A lot of people talked about NY-23 like it meant something.  The entire race was fubar for all concerned.  You had a Democrat [...]

Covering up Nancy Pelosi’s culture of corruption, part whatever

April 17th, 2008 | 1 Comment

A while back I did a piece quantifying SOME media’s reluctance to out Democrat crooks’ party affiliation.  It was pretty staggeringly obvious.  Something like 3,000+ words and not mentioning any of the crooks were Democrat, two words before they could blurt out the Republican.  Well, those bizarrely obvious figures just keep getting worse.  Here’s today’s [...]
