I am experiencing a case of schadenfreude so large tonight that it may well show up on satellite photos. ACORN, the group Michelle Malkin rightly calls a “criminal enterprise” got one of the most amazing smackdowns I have ever seen from the Senate. In an 83-7 vote, the Democrat-controlled Senate approved an amendment offered by [...]

I think maybe the President should have stuck to his guns on this: President Obama was giving an interview today to CNBC. An ABC reporter overheard the president call Kanye West a “jackass” for his dramatic interruption of the VMA’s Sunday night to praise a Beyonce video that did not win.

How worried is the left of the ginormous tea party gathering that’ll happen in Washington, DC today?

I attended Congressman Jay Inslee’s health care townhall meeting in Edmonds, Washington, on August 30th. I’ll be blogging about that later today over at It’s Only Words but in the meantime, I wanted to throw this out.

In all the hubbub over Obamacare, there’s one question I’ve never seen anyone attempt to answer: Who told Congress and the President that health care needed to be overhauled?
