Moonage Political Webdream

Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks.  The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves.  So, the whole [...]

That’s the headline on CNN.  The headline NOT on CNN is:
Unable to pay bills, London, Ky. YMCA closes
And, the reason they decided to give up?
Director Don Burgin said the London-Laurel County “Y” struggled with $6,000 monthly utility bills and its budget was further stretched by an increase in the minimum wage.
And of course, who do [...]

Via See-Dubya at Michelle Malkin’s blog, with an assist from Gasbuddy:

Apparently Nancy is finally starting to feel the heat.  So, she came up with the ultimate solution her feable mind could produce:

July 8, 2008
The Honorable George W. Bush
The President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500 [...]

The jam we’re in right now was put in place thirty years ago.  In that time, we’ve gone from being an energy exporter to an energy junkie.  It really doesn’t matter where we get our hit, so long as we don’t have to accept any responsibility for it.  For instance:

Oil - The Democrats absolutely refuse [...]

According to Congressional Quarterly, the House is on its way to passing an Alternative Minimum Tax patch to keep things the way they are right now.  Apparently the Republicans, who initially raised the limits, support it, the Democrats want those exemptions gone.  That’s good news to me.  According to the Democrats over the last few [...]

And by stuck, I do mean stuck.  Nancy Pelosi has agreed to take into consideration four bills aimed at energy relief next week.  One item she absolutely will not even debate or discuss is offshore drilling.  Her logic?  Get this:
Pelosi reiterated her position that Republican calls for more offshore drilling represent another chapter in a [...]

Dennis Kucinich’s bill to impeach Dick Cheney has made its way to the Floor.  A lot is being made of it in the media.  Naturally.  However, the realities of the situation are not nearly as exciting.
It will die.
Guaranteed.
An impeachment process completely stifles Congress.  Nancy Pelosi et al have things they want to do.  If they [...]

The Democrats haven’t even officially taken over the government yet, but they are already tossing out anything Republican as fast as they can.  Along with that, I guess we can totally dismiss Bush’s "conservative compassionism":
��It��s not just committees our influence within the House Democratic caucus will grow enormously,�� Mr. Rangel said in an interview.
To [...]

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 [...]
