Tar and Feathers Alert: It’s Good to Have A Friend Named Pelosi
When I chose the latest massive Obamacare wavier dump as the main topic of today’s Clearing the Browser Tabs post, I didn’t take a close look at the list of companies and groups that got a Get Out of Stifling Bureaucracy Free card. Matthew Boyle at The Daily Caller, however, did and he found something [...]
What Do You Know? Nancy Pelosi Was A Historic Speaker!
This seems like the perfect punctuation mark to close out the reign of the hands-wodn worst Speaker of the House in our nation’s history. With 19 Democrats withholding support from Nancy Pelosi for House speaker on Wednesday, it represented the largest defection from a party’s speaker nominee in nearly a century. The resistance in the Democratic [...]
Jimmie at Hot Air: Humble Pelosi Regrets Being Humble
I’ll be guest-blogging for the next few days over at Hot Air. Ed Morrissey, who is one of the three or four hardest-working bloggers I know (along with this guy, who now has scientific proof of his genius), is going to take a well-deserved rest for a little while. My first entry is a little [...]
Not So Fast Nancy, Says the Congressional Black Caucus. We Want to Help Wreck This Baby!

She was wrong. The Congressional Black [...]
Boehner Drops the Debt Hammer: It’s a “Stand-Alone” Vote

For the first time in years, House lawmakers will soon have the chance to vote on a standalone measure to increase the federal debt limit next year under the new Republican majority — a vote that’s shaping [...]
Democrats: Why, It’s Old Lady Pelo…Oh, to Heck With It.
Allahpundit is to blogging what Josh Hamilton is to the game of baseball. His swing is a thing of majestic beauty and when he gets one in his wheelhouse, he can hit it an awfully long way. Witness his opening to this post on how the Democrats are eager to embrace the suck. Democrats wonder: [...]
Poor, Sad Nancy
I know I probably shouldn’t, but I almost pity Nancy Pelosi. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today she has “no regrets” one day after a Republican landslide stripped her of the power that defined her historic tenure as the first female speaker of the House. The California Democrat, who won a new two-year term in [...]
Please, God. Just Give Us Regular Plagues?
Dear God in Heaven, why won’t Nancy Pelosi stop whining? Have we Americans committed some sort of unique wickedness that the Almighty should plague us with her incessant whinging instead of giving us a few proper plagues? I, for one, would rather have had a rain of frogs and maybe a little locust action than [...]
