Harry Reid Gives Nevada Another Reason to Prove that the Founders Were Pretty Smart Guys

Jimmie | January 9, 2010 | Comments (2)

Yet again, Harry Reid has managed to shove his foot into his mouth all the way up to his hip joint. In an upcoming book on the 2008 Presidential campaign, we find that Reid was awfully darned impressed with Barack Obama’s ability to, in the words of Chris Rock, “speak so well”. He was wowed [...]

Why Are We Shocked That the President Broke A Promise He Had No Power to Keep?

Jimmie | January 7, 2010 | Comments (3)

The blogosphere, along with more than a couple members of the august and well-informed media, is aflame today with the news that Barack Obama looked right into our faces not all that long ago and lied his narrow behind off. I have a thought about this particular fib, as you might imagine, but first, let [...]

Transparency What, Now?

Jimmie | January 5, 2010 | Comments (0)

I distinctly remember the Democratic Party making one particular word its Most Important Principle of the Year after it took over every branch of government in 2009. See if you can spot the magic word. We are closer than ever, but we’re not there quite yet. And as we head for the finish line, one of [...]

Democrats to Poor Schoolchildren: “No Good Education for You!”

Jimmie | January 2, 2010 | Comments (0)

If one of the priorities of our government is to ensure that children get the best possible education, then it’s clear that the Democrats have a different priority in mind. This past week, the majority in Congress, led by Dick Durbin on the Senate side and José Serrano on the House side, working in cahoots [...]

Finally, The First Duffer Is Dragged to the Mike to Inform America He’ll Deal With “Alleged” Terrorism. Or Something.

I didn’t get to hear President Obama’s reluctant statement on the SpeedoBomber, but I read it here (via memeorandum) and I entirely agree with Dan Riehl. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more uninspired, bored, “Oh God how fast can I read this so I can go back outside and play” statement from this President [...]

Maybe the Senator Was Just Tired From Carrying Heavy Bribes.

Jimmie | December 28, 2009 | Comments (0)

I saw this video of Max Baucus doing his best impression of Arthur over the weekend and wanted to wait a day or so on it before I said anything. It’s quite possible that I was looking at Baucus’ blathering screed through partisan eyes and I wanted to take a little time to cool down, [...]

The Year of the Disappearing Narrative.

Jimmie | December 28, 2009 | Comments (1)

How have the narratives failed in 2009? Let The Rhetorician count the ways. Ed Driscoll suggests there are likely a few more. I can think of one more. Whatever happened to that whole “most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history” narrative? It seems to have disappeared as quickly as ethics investigations against [...]
