Yeah! Tell me another one! Whew. OK. Let’s get serious. Obama, as usual, is attacking the concept of personal responsibility. The concept that people willingly and knowingly incurred a debt is meaningless to Obama. Completely. Under his watch, the student loan program has been removed from the private sector and made federal ( that’s called [...]

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 [...]

Particularly, he’s concerned that Tea Party and right-wing rhetoric will fuel the flames for domestic terrorism attacks like the one in Oklahoma City fifteen years ago. First, a history lesson. Murrah was not a reaction to some right-wing media show. It was a reaction to the Waco, Texas massacre. It was a very direct reaction. [...]

This is precious. Dick Durbin is convinced all of the very vocal opposition to health care reform as it’s been sort of, well not really, presented, is orchestrated by one Texas lobbyist. Embedded video from CNN Video For some inexplicable reason, CNN edited out the “Texas lobbyist” part. But, others have it. He made that [...]

Just got the numbers for the Medicaid add-on from the stimulus package. I don’t deal with Medicaid directly, but it indirectly affects what I do in a large way. As such, I was interested in the numbers. However, the bigger picture bugged me more than the dollars I was assigned to look at. In essence, [...]

Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr has filed suit that would keep voters from seeing the names Barack Obama and John McCain on their voting machines, saying they failed to follow the Texas law to get their names placed on the ballot. The Libertarians are claiming that both the Texas Democratic and Republican parties missed the deadline to [...]

Fresh on the heals of Keith Ellison defying all logic and facts and coming to the conclusion if people had more money they wouldn’t be broke, Eleanor Holmes Norton has dropped this bit of wisdom on us as well: The District has passed new gun legislation consistent with the recent Supreme Court decision overturning the [...]

In my opinion, 9/11 was largely the responsibility of Jamie Gorelick. Jamie Gorelick is pure evil. Period. Her name figures prominently in several domestic disasters.

I saw this before it made the news. Originally I wasn’t going to comment on it because I was so repulsed by it: Now, this makes me uncomfortable because I feel like I’m promoting kiddie porn. However, what this does do for me is eliminate the embarassment last week was for the Texas Attorney General’s [...]
