Trog Summarizes Ryan, And Had Me Until The Last Sentence

by Smitty TrogloPundit does a fine job of summarizing thoughts of Ace and Hot Air on the Ryan budget. He wonders what Ryan has to do to get past some of the underwhelmed response in the conservative blogs. I understand you’ve got to cheer for the Representative from your own state, but really, Trog: this […]

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 […]

Perhaps you can imagine the big grin with which I’m writing this, as I think back on that day last October when Da Tech Guy and I arrived in New York’s 25th District and the front-page headline was: “Dan Maffei leads Anne Marie Buerkle by 12 points in new poll.” That would be former Democratic […]
