You would have thought that the Republican leadership might have learned a thing or two about spending bazillions of our dollars from their embarassing defeats of the last election.
Nope. They didn’t learn a damned thing.
Right now, GOP leaders in the House and Senate aren’t set to fight the Democratic pork-filled, already-failed stimulus bill. They’ve already [...]

Nancy Thorner espies the real purpose of P-E Obama’s big government giveaway program.
In truth, behind the promise of jobs and an economic rebound seems to be [a] political motive that seeks to build an enduring and a lasting Democrat majority through the doling out of government money to Democrat mayors, Labor Unions, environmental groups, etc. [...]

Remember that Tom Coburn man-crush I mentioned yesterday? Well, I’m not the only one. He also has the graphic of Coburn I really wanted to use yesterday, except it didn’t exist until he created it. Darn him.
Duane says that Coburn should be the Senate Majority Leader right now. That’s really hard to argue after what [...]

You know, I’d accept a Democratic super majority in the Senate for the next two years if it meant getting John McCain out of there forever. I’m serious. If he quit right now and a patchwork monster made out of the putrescent remains of Karl Marx, John Milton Keynes, Jimmy Carter, and Woodrow Wilson took [...]

Tom Dachle is the first Obama nominee to face a confirmation hearing and Conn Carroll is ready with a few questions for the lifelong bureaucrat. His questions are drawn right from Daschle’s book on health care.
That book, by the way, seems to be the only real qualification Daschle has for the job of Great [...]

I’m not ashamed to say that I have an enormous man-crush on Senator Tom Coburn. When you read how he laid the lumber to Harry Reid and the Democratic leadership, maybe you’ll get a little puppy love for him, too.
The decision by Senate leaders to kick off the new Congress with an earmark-laden omnibus lands [...]

I’ve been saying for some time that the real problem with our immigration system isn’t the massive influx of illegal immigrants nor the lax way our immigration officials pursue the laws we already have. The real problem is that our immigration system is so casually incompetent.
Stacy McCain has found yet another story of a [...]

Mmmm…that’s some good nanny state right there.
The Anne Arundel County Council has voted to require that sprinklers be installed in all new homes built in the county, starting later this year.
County Executive John Leopold is praising the 6-1 vote as “a major victory” for county residents. “There can be no greater priority than saving lives,” [...]
