The Rebuttal the Republicans Should Give Tomorrow
When the President stands before America Thursday night, on national television, and introduces us to his plan to spend several hundred billion dollars that our children will have to pay off because there’s no way in heck we’ll get to it by the time we pay down the trillions of dollars we already owe, he’ll [...]
The Stimulus that Dare Not Speak Its Name
This morning Jeffrey Anderson noted that the latest Rasmussen poll had a couple interesting things to say about Obamacare. First, the voting public wants it gone — not just partially gone or mostly gone, but erased from the very fabric of space and time like a cupcake after a two-week Michael Moore fast. Second, independent [...]
Elijah Cummings Wants the President to Fight, but For What?
So, what is Rep Elijah Cummings (D-MD) really trying to say here? Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said Sunday that African-Americans want President Obama to “fight harder” to create jobs in the struggling U.S. economy. [...] “Almost every African-American person I have talked to has said they want him to fight, and fight harder,” Cummings said. [...]
Obama to Business: You Idiots Just Need to Understand the Free Market!
Anytime you get a situation where President Obama lectures the American people on how the economy works, you know it’ll end in laughter and tears. 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 [...]
The Committee is Nearly Set, And the Fix is Already In.
We now know the names of nine of the twelve members of Congress who will make up the Joint Committee. This committee’s job is to find at least $1.5 trillion in “deficit reduction” from the next ten years of federal budgets that will likely total more than $37 trillion. John Heyward has a good bit [...]
The Gospel of Blame Meets the Poll that Could Resurrect “Cut, Cap, and Balance”.
It’s Sunday and you know what that means. Yep, the Democrats ran to their bestest buddies in the MSM to preach the Gospel of Blame. The S&P downgrade wasn’t their fault, no way, no how. They are blameless, helpless victims, trod underfoot by a vicious minority called the Tea Parties. Such left-wing luminaries as David [...]
I Will Not Eat Your Bipartisan Spam. I Do Not Like It, Republican-I-Am.
I get in trouble sometimes with my fellow right-wingers for insisting that “bipartisan” “compromise” on a budget deal is a carnival game rigged to bring in the rubes so that those who run the game — we call them “members of Congress” — can shake us so hard that money falls out of our grandchildren.

Forgive Me for Not Joining the Party: A Debbie Downer Blog Post
I’m afraid I don’t share the general exultation of the right side of the blogosphere today over the debt ceiling deal that will undoubtedly become law today. Hooray, says my friend Jeff: The Republicans scored a political win that slowed down the runaway spending locomotive! Hooray, says my friend Pete: Republicans like Allen West and Renee Elmers [...]
That’s What You Said
