Rep. Ryan Pulls Weekly GOP Address Duty

by Smitty via (No Sheeples Here) Government has not been telling us the truth? Really? We need to get behind Paul Ryan and demand accountability, both from our government and ourselves. And when you’ve had your fill of sobriety, Iowahawk shreds Lindsey Graham. My experience has only served to underscore Miss Buelah’s perspicacity, for I […]

Allen West: A Firm ‘No’ on Budget Deal

by Smitty The Hill has it briefly, Liberty Pundits picked it up, and Cubachi elaborates with a Fox clip elaborating on his opposition: West is such a mensch he scared Debbie Wasserman-Schultz out of the Florida delegation. Given sufficient Allen West clones, I think the country’s problems are solveable. The question would move to where […]

REPORT: Deal Struck, Averts Shutdown (Insert ’30 Pieces of Silver’ Joke Here)

I’d been planning to go to bed early but stayed awake long enough to catch this: President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said tonight that lawmakers have agreed on a temporary extension of government funding, averting a government shutdown while Congress considers a longer-term budget agreement.

Democrats would rather shut down the federal government than de-fund Planned Parenthood: Congressional budget negotiations broke up before dawn on Friday without an agreement, putting the government on a path to a shutdown when financing for federal agencies […]

Daniel Hannan Palate Cleanser

by Smitty Even working briefly with ideas familiar to readers of this blog, Hannan remains a spot-on palate cleanser: He is also well worth your time in print. His polar opposite is the Bearded Clown, Krugman. I have rarely seen a human being so misguided, seemingly incapable of grasping that the very ideas he espouses […]

‘Shut It Down and Praise the Lord’

Stephen Dinan of The Washington Times reports that, in addition to halting IRS audits, a federal government shutdown would temporarily rid D.C. of a couple of my pet peeves. To Hell With the Cherry Blossom Festival!

Isn’t It Cute When Progressives Pause From Raping The Poor Long Enough To Express Concern About Them?

by Smitty Alan Colmes triggers the laugh track as he suddenly remembers that when Republicans speak, it’s time to remember the little guy. Ryan’s plan will also propose tax reforms that lower corporate and upper-income tax rates, while eliminating certain loopholes. The details of that part of his plan are unclear, but if they adhere […]
