Senator Jim Bunning, courageously held a one man filibuster this week against the Reid-Obama machine against unfunded deficit spending. Bunning’s position was painted by the liberal press as being against funding extended unemployment benefits but, of course, his actual position would never correctly covered, which was as follows: fine, extend the benefits, but PAY FOR [...]

Chairman Obeyme’s stimulus results are in, and the grades are bad. The graph( I think I found it on Moonbattery, but not sure) says it all. If you can’t see it, let me offer a little explanation. The light blue line is the White House predicted unemployment rate if we did nothing, i.e. spent no [...]

On a tip from Sieberticus, this George “Baseball Is My Middle Name” Will article breaks out of his usually tepid Conservative tone to repudiate Chariman Obeyme’s incursion into the private sector, in the Washington Post. On a related note, if you’ve never seen this SNL parody of Will’s baseball acumen, it is hilarious. “Throw the [...]

I mentioned in my earlier post about the tea parties, leading up to April 15th, that I didn’t like the fact that members of the media and former politicians were positioning themselves to take advantage of the grass roots efforts.  Newt Gingrich, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and the two most egregious examples; Mike Huckabee and [...]

From Peter Schiff on MSNBC.  Worth checking out.  (found on Earthfrisk blog) Also, here’s another recent Peter Schiff video with Judge Napolitano…

Saw this on American thinker. Listen how Daniel Hannan takes Prime Minister Gordon Browne to task before the EU General Assembly, for the folly of deficit spending as stimulus. He should run for Congress in the U.S., I’d vote for him.  I saw the same video over on Atlas Shrugged with the comment that ‘since [...]

Here’s a post from Powerline on Pelosi’s outrageous attempt to ‘claw back’ the bonuses paid to AIG employees through legislative action to tax a specific group of Americans. I’m stupefied to find that some people are defending the constitutionality of Nancy Pelosi’s discriminatory, confiscatory and retroactive tax on people who receive bonus income from companies [...]

“I’m shocked!  Shocked! – that gambling is taking place on the premises!”  Followed by “Sir, your winnings…”.  That scene from ‘Casablanca’ is the first thing that popped into my head when I heard the outcry from D.C. that AIG execs return their bonuses. We’ve got Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and every other Democrat, some Republicans, [...]

George Will wrote a column in the Washington Post, within which he called on Senator Feingold to call for the repeal of the amendment, rather than a modification for situations in which a replacement Senator must be chosen by a Govenor, as was the case in the recent Blago debacle.  You can read his comments [...]

Here’s a story that is running on Bloomberg.com, presently, by Kevin Hasset.  The story is not that surprising by itself.  It basically is asking whether or not a plotting foreign power with designs on the destruction of the U.S. economy and 20 years to spare, could prepare a trojan horse candidate that could wreak more [...]

Does this come as a surprise to anyone? By the way, could they not have given Reich a couple of D.C. Yellow Pages on which to sit? Or, perhaps a copy of the 1100 page stimulus bill – since nobody was reading it. -OMB

Oh, I get it! Hammer is to Gear as Sickle is to Crop?  And, of course, the obligatory ‘O’ shape.  This will appear on all stimulus funded projects so that you’ll be able to see the impact of that for which your tax dollars pay – errr, I mean that for which your grandchildren’s tax [...]

As I’ve been watching this entire stimulus, bailout, pork fest reveal itself, I’ve been trying to come up with some sort of clever analogy that would, as succinctly as possible, best describe that which is transpiring.  It’s been exceedingly difficult, as every time I sit down to scribe a few sentences on the subject, lo [...]

Ain’t gonna be no rematch… A good friend, a liberal, asked me if Rush Limbaugh’s recent battles with the Obama White House and the liberal Republicans, capped by his speech at CPAC the other day, was the downfall of the opposition, or the resurgence. He directed me to this article. Here’s what I told him. [...]

Mike has a lot of good things to say, hopefully, the Rebublicrats will listen to him.  Found on Ace of Spades HQ
