The Mendacious Harry Reid Kills a Debt Ceiling Deal, Goes on Vacation
Senate Democrat Harry Reid, whose party controls all the scheduling for the Senate, had this to say yesterday: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday said House Republicans’ pending “cut, cap and balance” proposal is among the worst pieces of legislation to appear on the floor in Senate history. … “I think this piece [...]
“Go Ahead…Make My Day” and Other Bluff-Friendly Quotes The President Memorized Yesterday
I’m no professional poker player, but I’m pretty sure that if I saw someone throw a hissy fit that ends in “Don’t call my bluff” at a table, I’d know two things: He’s bluffing. He’s about to get his bluff called by everyone at the table. That’s where we sit right now with the debt [...]
Operation Fast and Furious Gets Strange and Sinister
The story around Operation Fast and Furious has reached the stage where large chunks of it no longer fit neatly into a straight-line narrative. Let me see if I can bring you up to speed.

Then I got to thinking a bit more about those numbers. Sure, it’s sheer lunacy to spend more than [...]
The Post Where I Break Out Some Math on Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
I’m sure Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Chair of the Democratic National Committee, thinks she’s super-clever, but I don’t think the “Be thankful we got that foul Bush economy turned around” strategy is going to be a big winner in 2012. What’s that? You think I’m wildly exaggerating? You don’t believe that she of the ego large enough [...]
