Why Does Jim Bunning Hate Everyone, Including Puppies?
By now you’ve probably heard how Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning is singlehandedly dooming hundreds of thousands of people to starvation and perhaps even death by roving packs of wild hyenas because he won’t allow the sweet, kindhearted, rules-following Democrats to help America. The Democrats want to spend a paltry $15 billion, pocket change, really, on extended [...]
I Guess We Violence-Inciting Swastika-Waving Americans Aren’t So Bad After All
If baldfaced political hackery were an Olympic sport, Nancy Pelosi would have so much hardware around her neck that Mr. T or Flava Flav would spontaneously immolate themselves in white-hot flames of pure jealousy. Not all that long ago, Speaker Pelosi called the pretty average men and women of the Tea Party movement a bunch [...]
The Democrats’ Kangaroo Court
This week, two Congressional committees are holding hearings on the alleged accelerator problems with Toyota vehicles. Combined, 59 Democrats sit on these panels, which command enough power to fatally cripple the company by seriously restricting its ability to sell cars in the United States. Here’s the kicker. Of those 59 Democrats, 31 have received campaign [...]
So Long. Farewell. Auf Weidersehen, Evan Bayh!
Things just got much more interesting for the Democratic Party today. Evan Bayh, the insanely-popular Senator from Indiana, announced that he won’t run for re-election this year. The deadline for anyone wanting to get into the election is tomorrow, so the Dems don’t have a lot of time to consider their options. I predict a [...]

His home district, which includes a big chunk of Detroit, has fallen into such ruin that it looks like a third-world city. Instead of looking for ways to bring in entrepreneurs [...]
Your Congress, Soon to Be Kennedy-Free!
A week ago, the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts, Patrick Kennedy, decided to throw a few shots at newly-elected Senator Scott Brown. Kennedy called Brown’s candidacy “a joke” because Brown’s mere presence as a Senator threatened some tool of Big Labor that Kennedy wanted to head up the National Labor Relations Board. All those big union [...]
Party of D’oh!
Maybe the left ought to reconsider the “Party of No” talking point the Democrats have been pushing to a willing media for the past year because it is doing them no good at all. The GOP has beaten the progressives in every election since the epithet became the Official Democratic Nickname for the Republican Party, [...]
I Guess Being a Poli-Sci Professor Doesn’t Require Much Interest in Local Politics
It’s been a while since I read anything from Daniel Drezner and, from the looks of this post, it may be a long while before I do so again. See, he has a problem he felt was worth sharing witht he rest us us. Drezner, as a resident of Massachusetts, has been exposed to the cruel barrage of [...]
