We’re Going to Need More Vito and Less Tom in the New Congress
Let’s face it, conservatives, Barack Obama and Harry Reid cleaned our clocks. We scored the biggest electoral win for any party since at least the end of World War II, a win so big that even the President was forced to remark on it. Our message — Washington is too damned big and too damned [...]
Why the Republicans Will Be A Minority For A While Longer
Here, in two stories, is everything that’s wrong with the Republican party. Story the First, wherein Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell delivers a good scolding to Congress for its profligate spending in the Age of Obama. “In just 50 days, Congress has voted to spend about $1.2 trillion between the Stimulus and the Omnibus,” McConnell [...]
Our Economic Groundhog Day
Looks like Mitch McConnell picked the wrong time to shove another government mortgage program down our throats.

He’s not content just to be a bumbling politician, though. He’s intent on taking the economy into the abyss with him. [...]
Time to Replace the Redistributionist Republican Leadership

Bailout Fallout
Well the mostly-stalwart Republicans blew up the UAW/Democrat payback-o-rama that we knew as the Big Three Bailout last night and there are still chunks of it splatting around Washington even now. This Politico story captures most of the Sturm und Drang of last night but doesn’t exactly go out of its way to find any [...]
Don’t Let Congress Build Our Cars, Please?
Word is that the steaming pile of folly called the Big Three Bailout is close to making its big appearance on the floor of Congress. We’re told that if bailout is defeated doesn’t happen, the world as we know it will end and we’ll all be eating cold dog food out of tin cans and [...]
