Specter’s Weak Tea
Arlen Specter has weaseled his way to the editorial pages of the Washington Post to explain why he is working against the will of the American people and is trying to pass the Congressional Vote-Buying Act of 2009. His reasons are so weak that he might as well not have bothered. I almost feel bad [...]
A Protest in Red (or Pink)
Having a tax fraud as Secretary of the Treasury really does almost demand a protest. Michelle Malkin suggests a way that is childish, petty, undignified, utterly ineffective, and way beneath her station as a respected journalist and opinion leader. I’m in! As a note, if you don’t want to wait for the rubber stamp to [...]
“It is never a bad time for Republicans to speak economic truth…”
Stacy McCain has a column in The American Spectator that deserves wide attention tomorrow morning. Not only does he carve a gaping hole in Arlen Specter’s claim that “no one” would argue that we need his trillion-dollar vote-buying bill and in the President’s rhetoric of panic but he also gives the GOP some very good [...]

Barney Frank Lets His Totalitarian Flag Fly
What is the end goal for Democrats as they try to foist their Stimulus Bill on an American populace who doesn’t want it? Control. Don’t believe me? Believe Barney Frank, one of the guys who got us into this mess in the first place. Congress will consider legislation to extend some of the curbs on [...]
Another Day, Another Nominee with a Tax-Cheating Background
How many tax cheats is President Obama going to nominate, anyhow? I mean, is Zombie Al Capone coming next? A Senate committee today abruptly canceled a session to consider President Obama’s nomination of Rep. Hilda Solis to be labor secretary in the wake of a report saying that her husband yesterday paid about $6,400 to [...]
Get Ready for Some Census Monkey Business
Are you ready for some monkey business when the next census rolls around? Historically, Congressional districts are drawn based on the most recent US Census. The Director of the Census Bureau normally answers to the Secretary of Commerce. Not anymore. Since the Secretary of Commerce will be a Republican who has promised to depoliticize the [...]
