Clearing the Browser Tabs – The Cain Train Goes Turbo-Powered Friday Edition
Robert Costa, over at NRO, wrote a lengthy article on Herman Cain yesterday. If you don’t know much about him, his piece will give you a solid introduction. I couldn’t help but notice that a number of commenters there brought up the whole elected office thing. If they’d listened to this week’s episode of The [...]
Major Chunk of Obamacare Spit Out by Health Care Providers
So much for the Presidential promise that his shiny new Obamacare milkshake would bring all the health care providers to the yard. President Barack Obama’s main idea for getting quality health care at less cost was in jeopardy Wednesday after key medical providers called his administration’s initial blueprint so complex it’s unworkable. Just over a [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Partisan, Mean, and Selfish Thursday Edition
Tuesday afternoon, in a desperate attempt to change the national conversation from the subjects of his partisan football-spiking of the Abbottabad raid and the still-abysmal economy, the President went to Texas to give a speech on immigration. Unfortunately, his speech was condescending, insulting, nearly entirely fact-free, and…did I mention nearly entirely fact-free? The very least [...]

Clearing the Browser Tabs – Death Before Waterboarding Wednesday Edition
I honestly don’t know what moral frame of reference leads you to the conclusion that it’s worse to waterboard someone for a few minutes than it is to shoot them in the face but somehow the administration has boxed itself into exactly that corner. I pity the President’s poor national security adviser who had to [...]
Oil is The Newest Conscriptee in the President’s Strawman Army
Boy, our President just loves the false argument, doesn’t he? I suspect that some time in 2013, the next administration will announce it has discovered a new sub-basement in the White House in which it found row upon row of strawmen, lined up like the terra cotta soldiers of a Qin Emperor. Barack Obama runs [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Dangerous Christian Extremist Tuesday Edition
I think I’m a little bit concerned about my spiritual health. You see, my church is holding a revival and Dr. Tim Lee is our speaker for the week. Dr. Lee is one of those old-time preachers, the kind that would give most of the PC crowd flat-out heart-attacks and cause the collective heads of [...]
