Another Reason to Like the Boehner Budget Deal: DC Kids Win
My what a wonderful little surprise I found this morning! On Friday night, before the details of the final deal became clear, [D.C. Representative Eleanor Holmes] Norton said, “We are in great danger of becoming bargained as we feared, despite my conversation with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a few days ago, and the many [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Hard-Liner Unhappiness Saturday Edition
When I went to bed in the wee hours of this morning, I knew that the post I wrote on John Boehner’s budget deal wasn’t going to be the majority opinion among the True Conservatives on the right, and I was right. Mark Levin hated the deal and all but called it fraudulent and an [...]
Conservatives and the Pretty Good, Better than Expected, Not Too Shabby At All Budget Deal
I am now going to write something I never thought I’d write: I’m proud of John Boehner for beating Barack Obama and the Democrats. I know. Wait a moment to let the shock settle in and read this. Barely more than an hour before a midnight deadline, officials announced a deal to avert a government [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Go Buy a New Car You Peasant Friday Edition
It’s not every day you can watch the President of the United States look a citizen in the eye and address him like he was a witless child, but that’s exactly what Barack Obama did to a man at a town hall rally in Pennsylvania. Ed Morrissey and Glenn Reynolds have the story, along with [...]

I’ll not recreate Klein’s argument, but I’ll [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Dear Women Thursday Edition
I’m pretty sure that the doom of mankind is upon us now that I’ve seen this video. I’m afraid I can’t adequately describe just how pitiful it is save to give you a short description of its contents: it is, essentially, a group of men apologizing to women for being men and asking, pretty please [...]
The Delivery Presents – Socky’s New White House Gig
I was ready to do Episode 87 Tuesday morning, which is a bit unusual. It’s not often I get such a great topic for discussion, one that causes me to crank out a couple pages of show notes before lunchtime. Paul Ryan’s budget plan, though, is worth some serious examination and so I spent some [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Game-Changing Wednesday Edition
The rave reviews for Paul Ryan’s budget plan keep rolling in. James Pethokoukis, in the course of asking and answering three essential questions, calls it a game-changer and I find little room for disagreement. Troglopundit, King of All Motivators, has the poster that doubtless haunts the dreams of many a Democrat tonight. You can read [...]
