The Time for Corruption is Over
Those Democrats who today are taking legislative bribes from Nancy Pelosi to pass the Obamacare bill should probably remember that the Senate gets a say about whether those bribes get paid out. And Tom Coburn isn’t in much of a mood to make good on Nancy Pelosi’s vain promises. Just in case there are any [...]
Well, At Least He Knows About Ignoring the Rules
The unconstitutional “deem and pass” gambit died a quiet death today, which is a good sign. At least a significant number of Democrats still have enough respect for the Constitution not to blow a three-foot wide hole in it. But let’s not assume that the Democratic leadership are going to play by the rules to [...]
Thursday Night Sanity Break
Ever have one of those tedious weeks where every day hangs around your neck like a millstone necklace and you spent all day Thursday under the mistaken notion that it’s really Friday only to know soul-grinding disappointment when you look at the calendar over and over and over again?

Is it just me or does Dennis Kucinich look like someone’s off-stage holding a gun on him? Kucinich announced yesterday that he will be voting for the ginormous Obamacare bill even though it violates about a bazillion of his most cherished progressive principles. Okay, he didn’t say that last part, but you can read that [...]
The Delivery Presents: Why Can’t We Be Friends? Slaughter!
Episode 29 is now live, ready for you to take it for a spin like a vintage Ferrari Testarossa. Let that and the show art be your fair warning about the stylish, unshaven Crocketness in this week’s show. I’ve been under the weather for a few days and, while the cold I’ve been fighting seems [...]
Nancy Pelosi, Evil Overlord
Nancy Pelosi is out of hand and we, the American people, need to bring her back in hand. It is one thing to use your majority to shove through unpopular legislation. Indeed, the results of the last two elections mean that she can wield her majority power any way she sees fit, consistent with the [...]
