Obama Takes Credit for The Bailout.

Update: ACORN and LaRaza are out of the wording. I can’t tell you about loopholes at this point, however. I haven’t done a full read, just a skim of it. 
And you know what? That’s just fine by me.
Instead, Obama said he deserves credit for making sure the proposal includes safeguards for taxpayers. Obama said he is inclined […]

A random thought on the “Stimulus Package.”

Can we send it back after it arrives in the mail? Can we refuse it?
Have you ever had one of those friends who always jumped at the chance to do some little something for you that you really appreciated at the time only to find out later the friend expected a tenfold return of the […]

VRWC, Part II

When bad things happen to liberals it is always the conservatives’ fault.
Those in the ‘Blame America First’ crowd are also accustomed to jumping to conclusions of the VRWC variety. Last night Randi Rhodes, Err-America talk show hose was mugged in NYC. Unfortunately muggings happen. I’m sorry she was hurt. But here is the radio station’s […]

Name That Book For Nancy Open Thread

Don Surber and Michelle Malkin are both promoting Nancy Pelosi’s new autobiography. Some of the winners:
“The Hope of Audacity”
“Nancy Pelosi and the Deathly Shallow”
“Atlas Hurled”
“The Pelosi Piles”
I suggested “Children In Charge”, but “The Idiot’s Guide To Dhimmitude” would work well, too. “The Four Horsemen of My Life, Treason, Graft, Abortion, and Hubris” is just too […]

Uh Oh! No Confidence in Congress

A new Gallup poll shows that only 14% of Americans have confidence in Congress. This is a record low for Congress. With the Pelosi and Reid clowns in charge is any explanation needed as to why it’s so low?

Congressional Dems Break Their Own Rules

Clearly in an attempt to “look” magnanimous compared to Republican, when House Democrats took control earlier this year, they changed the rules to be more open about pork barrel spending. They promised to clearly identify earmarks in pending legislation. In this way, there could be a discussion about the spending before it was […]
