Clearing the Browser Tabs – Fast and Furious Update Wednesday Edition
I’ve collected a few more stories about the still-growing Operation Fast and Furious scandal that you might not have seen because, save for a couple reporters like Sharyl Atkisson at CBS News, few outlets seems interested in the story beyond the obvious “Why do Republicans hate President Obama so” spin. That said, this is the [...]
Ed Schultz’s “Big Black Cloud” is a Big Fat Lie
If you’re one of the unfortunate half dozen or so people who watch Ed Schultz’ television show on MS-NBC, you’ll know that he is about as in the bag for the Democratic Party as one can be without actually being in a large burlap sack with the DNC logo printed on it. Normally, he’s the [...]
The Political Trip That’s Not A Political Trip Starring the Community Organizer Who is President
On Friday, the Mouth of Sauron assured us that the President’s three-state bus tour was not at all a campaign trip. I want to quote exactly what he said, if for no other reason than to give you a sense of how outrageous his lie really was. “The fact is that the president is not [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Buffett’s Tax Dodge and The Delivery Update Tuesday Edition
So Warren Buffett wants the government to take more of his money, huh? Well, okay. I guess I can get behind that, though it’s awfully lazy of Buffett to make the government come after his money when he could cut the IRS a check any time he wanted to. Heck, I bet he could swing [...]

Today was no different as Our Planmaker-In-Chief stood before a crowd in Minnesota and told them that automakers have no idea in the world what kind of vehicle people really [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – The Internet Goes Up and Down Monday Edition
This is going to be a short Clearing the Browser Tabs post. I’ve had intermittent problems with my internet connection and telephone line all weekend and I can’t say for sure whether the connection will be up when it’s time to send the post or not. It’s working right now, so instead of combing through [...]
RIP Tim Pawlenty’s Campaign, Slain by a Lot of Horrible Advice.
So, the Republican Presidential field is down by one today as Tim Pawlenty, former Governor of Minnesota, has bowed out. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said Sunday that he’s dropping out of the Republican presidential race, just hours after finishing a disappointing third in the Iowa Straw Poll. “We needed to get some lift to [...]
What Did The President Know About Rick Perry and When Did He Know It? Look to the ATM.
I was a little bit surprised at the speed with which the Obama campaign responded to Texas Governor Rick Perry’s formal entry into the 2012 race. Politico has the statement only minutes after Perry’s speech ended, which made me wonder how the President’s people could work so fast. Surely the President’s re-election staff is busy [...]
