Nancy Pelosi is A Liar

Jimmie | April 15, 2009 | Comments (9)

I defy The Stupidest Speaker of the House Ever to name just one of the “wealthiest people in America” she claims funded the Tax Day Tea Parties. I know she can’t, but her dismissive, elitist allegation cannot go unchallenged. I dare her to show me any scrap of proof for her dismissive, elitist allegation. If [...]

Estimating the Tea Party Numbers (Update: Is 800,000 Unreasonable?)

Jimmie | April 15, 2009 | Comments (24)

In my travels around the blogosphere today, I’ve seen some left-wing commenters pooh-poohing what they consider to be a “meager” turnout for today’s Tax Day Tea Parties. So I decided to spitball some numbers. Michelle Malkin reports that there are at least 800 tea parties going on today. This post, which is aggregating reports from [...]

Remember, Folks, The Tea Parties Aren’t About You

Michelle Malkin, quoting Glenn Reynolds who in turn quotes the organizer of the Tax Day Tea Party in Chicago: “This is an opportunity for Americans to speak, and elected officials to listen, not the other way around.” Nevertheless, there are quite a few politicians who think we’ll forget that they voted for some of these [...]

This is the Way Bipartisanship Ends. Not with a Bang but a Slander.

The Obama administration has done something I didn’t think it was possible to do. It managed, in a ten-page report, to tattoo the word “extremist” on the foreheads of about half the country. Plenty of folks are writing about the Department of Homeland Security Report made public by Stephen Gordon at The Liberty Papers. And [...]

Surgery With a Dull Instrument

Jimmie | April 13, 2009 | Comments (0)

The New York Times is reporting that the Treasury Department is telling General Motors to prepare itself for a “surgical” bankruptcy, to be performed by the government. Secretary Geithner hopes to get the deed done quickly and to have two different companies when he’s finished, a good one with nothing but healthy assets and a [...]

Ignore the JournoList Meme of the Week and Go to a Tea Party!

Jimmie | April 12, 2009 | Comments (5)

Hmmm…I wonder what the JournoList Meme of the Week is? Let’s take a look around some of the leading left-wing blogs, why don’t we? Here’s the nasty little bigot Jane Hamsher saying that the Tea Party protests are nothing but a Fox News/big corporation operation. And here she is again saying the same thing. Notice [...]

Boy, Those Venture Capitalists Sure Aren’t Team Players, Are They?

Jimmie | April 10, 2009 | Comments (0)

Venture capitalists are not being very welcoming to their new Democratic overlords. Instead of gladly, nee eagerly, acquiescing to Tim Geithner’s suggestion that they be regulated with all the subtlety and care of a prostate exam from a Borg, they’re wondering what the heck they did to draw his attention. The confusion began when Treasury [...]

A Mid-Week Link Dump, Because I Care!

Jimmie | April 9, 2009 | Comments (0)

I’ve been out at dinner with an old friend tonight, cooking up some choral mischief, which means that my normal blogging has suffered. I am not of such a caliber as to merit a fine minion who slings the Monty Python like my friend Stacy McCain so I must do my own link-o-rama. Luckily, I [...]
