I Dig Getting Paid, But Which Is Cheaper: Five Months Pay Lost, Or ObamaCare?

by Smitty Again cribbing the Mighty Instapundit, “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people telling me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.” Up to the plate steps Michele Bachmann, and the baseball (not to mention the foppish excuse for a pitcher cluttering the mound) weeps in fear: “Because of this discrepancy […]

GOP Hopefuls Will Halt No Whine Before Its Time

by Smitty Alternate title: “GOP Hopefuls Note Budget Gallipoli, Neglect To Engage”.

Kaine Down By 13 To Allen. It Is Time.
Cry ‘Havoc!’ And Let Slip Jim Moran.

by Smitty Roanoke College delivers some unhelpful news for Kaine. swacgirl notes: Kaine did Virginians no favor as governor, and he has been closely associated with Democratic President Barack Obama’s liberal overreaching government policies including ObamaCare, something he claims to be proud of.

While official Washington and the political press have been focused on budget negotiations and the prospect of a federal government […]

Climate Change Consenseless Goes Down In The House

by Smitty (h/t Pirate’s Cove) Lawmakers voted 184-240 against Rep.

The amendment from Waxman — the top Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee — reflects Democratic efforts to cast the bill as an outrageous […]

The Progressive Hits Just Keep On Coming. The GOP Wasted Money?

by Smitty Alan Colmes continues to be a more refined form of silliness than the SOL/PuffHo. The other day I was noting the sanctimonious concern for the poor.
