Even in Deep-Blue California, ObamaCare Still Inspires Deep Doubts, Poll Finds

Donald Douglas points out that President Obama got nearly 60 percent of the vote in California last year, but the president’s signature health-care program is still widely unpopular there: Sixty-five percent of respondents said people wouldn’t be able to afford the health insurance they’ll be required to have under the law’s individual mandate.

Reply To Bill In Kentucky

by Smitty Brett Baier reads the following: “Putting things in perspective: March 21st 2010 to October 1 2013 is 3 years, 6 months, 10 days. December 7, 1941 to May 8, 1945 is 3 years, 5 months, 1 day. What this means is that in the time we were attacked at Pearl Harbor to the […]

Maryland: The Crazy State

Thursday, I asked that you go hit Jeff Quinton’s tip jar after he was the target of a crazy act of retaliation by disgruntled Maryland Republicans. Jeff has a wife and baby at home and, believe it or not, things got even crazier Friday — and I mean, criminally crazy.  

Police: Texas High School Girl Pimped Out Her Friends as Young as 14

OK, You Can’t Do This, Not Even in Alabama, Not Even to Roger Shuler

Roger Shuler, Shelby County Jail inmate No. 288928 Let’s be clear: I don’t like Roger Shuler, a dishonest creep who has published defamation against the honest and innocent. A deranged liberal (but I repeat myself) Shuler celebrated last year when Brett Kimberlin had Aaron Walker arrested. When Shuler got himself arrested on a contempt of […]

Victimhood as Merit: Wendy Davis Claimed ‘Mental Health’ Issues in Lawsuit

Glenn Close in ‘Fatal Attraction’: Crazier than Wendy Davis? Perhaps. In 1996, Wendy Davis lost a city council election in Fort Worth, Texas, and filed an utterly ridiculous lawsuit claiming she had been defamed by the local newspaper. (Trust me on this: I’ve recently become an expert on utterly ridiculous defamation lawsuits.) One of the […]

Dougherty’s Law and the Blame Game: The Truth About Cuccinelli’s Loss

In 2006, Michael Brendan Dougherty described the habitual lament of digruntled Republicans: “If it were more like me, the Republican Party would be better off. It’s failing because it’s like you.” Whenever Republicans lose, we are forced to witness the ugly spectacle of this sectarian internecine blame game re-enacted, a tradition that dates back at […]

When Virginia Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin, The Victim Can Blame Itself

by Smitty UPDATE: Mis-attribution fixed. Sorry, Adjoran. Blame Robert Sarvis. 🙂 Stacy put about the best possible spin on matters last night. As with Lonegan in NJ, saying the candidate “beat the spread” is thin gruel. I disagree with Adjoran[‘s responder]: Nope, you can blame Robert Sarvis of the Libertarian Party for Cuccinelli’s defeat. He […]
