A Year from Now, Remember Today

Bipartisanship in Congress? I’d respond with another word that starts with “B”, but I try very hard to keep this a family-friendly blog. I spoke with House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) moments ago about this latest version of Democratic “bipartisanship.” Pence told me, “I think the American people deserve to know that legislation [...]

The world is calling for us to lead and all they’re getting is a busy signal. WASHINGTON/LONDON (Reuters) – Rocked by the biggest financial crisis in decades, the world is desperately awaiting strong economic leadership — but the new U.S. administration is very busy right now. I’m beginning to seriously wonder if President Obama can [...]

Today is the fifth anniversary of Girl on the Right, the blog written by my friend Wendy Sullivan. Wendy has been right in the middle of the free speech fight that has been happening in her country and is one of the few people in her country willing to stand up to the Islamists who [...]

After I finished this post, a couple questions occurred to me: 1) Has President Obama ever met with business owners to find out what they need (or don’t need) from the government to help them create jobs? 2) Can you name any part of the stimulus bill that was specifically requested by small business owners?

Jake Tapper asked the President one heck of a good question last night. Basically, what he asked was, “Mr. President, how will we be able to tell if your stimulus bill is working?”. I wish I could easily quote the President’s answer, but I can’t because it was four paragraphs of bad economic theory with [...]

See you in the bread lines, folks. Not that I’ll actually be there with you. See, I work for a state government that’s going to be getting a humongous chunk of your cash to cover its debts. Heck, we’re a billion dollars in a hole this year, the government is furloughing employees and looking to [...]

A Post In Which I Respond Humbly to Senator Charles Schumer

A Post In Which I Respond Humbly to Senator Charles Schumer

I got your “party of the people” right here. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) accused Senate Republicans Monday of dragging their feet on the $800 billion stimulus package. “Why quibble over $200 million?” he asked during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Gosh, Senator, why in the world might a principled and responsible representative niggle with [...]

A Heretic in South Carolina.

A Heretic in South Carolina.

If Mark Sanford isn’t a serious player in the 2012 Presidential mix, then the GOP is much farther gone than I think it is. How can you possibly pass up a guy who says stuff like this? “A problem that was created by building up of too much debt will not be solved with yet [...]
