Joe Biden’s Wacky, Mixed-Up Economic Stimulus Fantasy Land
If I were inclined to pity the President at all, it would be because he has to live every day with the knowledge that he can’t detain Joe Biden at Guantanamo Bay, far from any television cameras. But I can’t pity him all that much when he lets the Gaffer-in-Chief sit down for a lengthy [...]
He Wasn’t Admitted for Repetitive Truth-Telling Disorder, Either.
I hope Henry Waxman is feeling better very soon. WASHINGTON (AP) — A powerful House committee chairman with a central role in President Barack Obama’s global warming and health care legislation has been hospitalized. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., was not feeling well Tuesday and was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for “routine [...]
Congressional Bailout Corruption Strikes Again
Culture of Corruption? Why, whatever on Earth could you be talking about? Sen. Daniel K.

Through a series of parliamentary inquiries, the Republicans learned that the 300-plus page managers’ amendment, added to the bill [...]
Chuck Grassley Just Fired the First Shot in the IG Scandal.
The Inspector General scandal (IG-Gate? In-Scam?) has taken another large step forward now that Senator Chuck Grassley has released an immense report on the resignation of the Amtrak IG. I’ll read it over the weekend and give you any juicy bits I can find. In the meantime, head over to where Stacy McCain has been [...]
Democrats Don’t Need to Read the Bill, They Know What They’re Getting
Back in February, the Democrats rammed the Stimulus Bill through Congress, moving so quickly that they voted on the bill before anyone could even read the final version. Today, they’re at it again. Like last time, this bill is their cap and trade program which we know will kill jobs and cost you a lot [...]
I’ve Seen A Drained Swamp. That’s Not It.
I have a new post up at the American Issues Project. I decided to take a little tour around “”the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history”. What I found wasn’t anywhere close to the accountability and transparency we were promised. Democrats took power in 2006 largely on the strength of their [...]
