Alan Grayson: Idiot
Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) took to the House floor Tuesday and let fly with what may just be the most idiotic remarks in the history of American politics: Grayson is a first term Congressman representing Florida’s 8th Congressional District… A traditionally Republican leaning district. He’s vulnerable, he knows it and he’s letting it all hang […]
Video: French President Thinks “Obama Is Very Naive and Egotistical”
I’m generally suspicious of anonymous sources but given French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s public remarks I’m inclined to take Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Jack Kell at his word here: From the Telegraph: Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, came close to mocking his American counterpart for the good intentions, which Mr Obama had heralded as an “historic” step […]
Gallup: 61% of Americans See Health Insurance as Personal Responsibility
The results of this new Gallup poll aren’t really surprising, this is still a center right country that believes in traditional principles like limited government and individual responsibility… that more more than anything is what dogs Democrats in the health care debate: In a recent Gallup survey, 89% of Republicans, 64% of independents, and 61% […]
Senate Finance Committee Rejects Public Option — Twice
The Senate Finance Committee rejected two amendments earlier today that would have add a government-run public health-insurance plan to the health care reform legislation currently before the committee: A key US committee on Tuesday rejected a push by liberal Democrats to have a government-run healthcare option included in the $856bn centrist bill taking shape in […]

New York Appeals Court Dismisses Dan Rather’s Suit vs. CBS
This should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the whole sorry “Rathergate” affair… A New York State Appeals Court has dismissed Dan Rather’s $70 million wrongful termination suit against CBS: A New York state appeals court on Tuesday dismissed former TV newsman Dan Rather’s lawsuit against CBS Corp in which Rather claimed […]
Keeping We the People in the Dark
Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee have refused to publish the final text of their health care reform bill online prior to voting on it. They claim the language is too technically difficult for ordinary people to understand, and that releasing the text would just lead to confusion. Yeah, right… I suspect it has more […]
Video: Rush Limbuagh Runs Over Al Gore… Twice…
I missed Rush Limbaugh’s appearance on the Jay Leno show last night… I’m sorry I did: Part 1: Part 2: And the highlight of the show… Rush running over Al Gore (and Ed Begley Jr.)… twice…
Flout the Individual Mandate Penalty and Go to Jail?
I wonder if President Obama still thinks the Individual Mandate provisions of the Health Care Reform bill aren’t a tax: Americans who fail to pay the penalty for not buying insurance would face legal action from the Internal Revenue Service, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. The remarks Thursday from the committee’s chief of staff, Thomas […]
U.S., France, Germany and Others Walk Out During Ahmadinejad’s Israel-bashing UN Speech
It’s time for me to eat a little crow – feathers and all – here… I didn’t think the U.S. delegation would walk out during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s address to the United Nations General Assembly this evening. But they did… along with the delegations of at least a dozen other nations: France on Wednesday […]
Will the U.S. Join Canada and Germany in Ahmadinejad Walkout?
Canada and Germany have apparently head enough of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust-denying rants and virulent anti-Semitism. The Canadian government is planning to protest his presence at the UN today by having their entire delegation walking out of the chamber when Ahmadinejad takes the podium: Canada will boycott Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech at the […]
Ouch: New York Gov. Paterson Blasts Pres. Obama
The feud between New York Governor David Paterson and the White House took a turn for the worse today with Gov. Patterson essentially telling reporters at Columbia University that Obama’s just cranky because he hasn’t accomplished jack (emphasis mine): I understand the president’s concern, but I understand the concern of staff members at the White […]
Train Wreck: CBO Predicts Social Security Cash Deficits in 2010-11
Ed Morrissey has obtained a copy the summer 2009 Congressional Budget Office report on the health of the Social Security “Trust Fund”… The news isn’t good, actually it’s pretty frightening: Four years ago, George W. Bush attempted to reform the entitlement program Social Security, warning that the system was accelerating into collapse and would soon […]
Yes, Mr. President the Individual Mandate Is A Tax
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t watch Pres. Obama ‘s Sunday Talk show orgy… I’ve skimmed through the transcripts and frankly I don’t think I missed much. He really didn’t say anything new, he simply repeated the same arguments he’s been making for months. About the only interesting thing I came across was […]
