Is Steny Hoyer Setting Up a Coup?
Either Steny Hoyer has a much higher opinion of Nancy Pelosi’s intelligence than he should or he’s goading her to jump off a very high cliff. House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) is pushing Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to take a harder line with the Senate after a trio of Republican senators forced Congress [...]
This is Why Republicans Can’t Win Elections These Days
It couldn’t last. I knew that the pleasant Friday dream of Lindsay Graham doing battle with Barbara Boxer on the Senate floor – a righteous warrior in the defense of economic liberty – had to end. I just expected it to last longer than two weeks. Sunday, it was the same ol’ Moderate Lickspittle Lindsay [...]
Special Delivery for Chuck the Schmuck

Disarming the Populace in South Carolina
If I lived in South Carolina, I’m not sure I’d be very happy right now. Yesterday, the state had a big “guns for stuff” turn-in program where you could give the authorities your gun and they’d give you a rose and a Best Buy gift card. You’ve seen programs like this before. They have varying [...]

You ever play one of those computer poker games, where you were staked to a few thousand dollars and got to hit “reset” every time you busted out? I bet you played your hands a lot differently than you would have if that money were yours. On that subject, here’s Mark Steyn today: America has [...]
