Political Bits That Make You Go Hmmmm.

On Instapundit’s blog, he links to the Washington Examiner, which says this: President Obama insisted yesterday that Congress reach a long-term budget deal, not a short-term “quick-fix” that could put the debt ceiling debt smack in the middle of the 2012 campaign next year. This is a major shift. Since January, the Obama administration has […]

Lies And Spin! Stimulus Style! UPDATE!

Compliments of the Weekly Standard, which, apparently, doesn’t seem to have any standards. Concerning a new report issued by the White House on the dreaded ARRA stimulus package of 2009, they write: When the Obama administration releases a report on the Friday before a long weekend, it’s clearly not trying to draw attention to the […]

Justice Sotomayor – Closet Originalist?

From a Surpeme Court decision against Microsoft v. i4i Limited. I’m not familliar with this case, but I do find this bit of of the majority opinion, written by the new Justice, interesting. She writes: The parties and their amici have presented opposing views as to the wisdom of the clear-and-convincing-evidence standard that Congress adopted. Microsoft […]

Politicians And Twitter.

Share Button

Again, concerning this supposed need for politicians to tweet; I have to ask… What’s the point? What do they think they will possibly accomplish? Are they trying to show how connected to technology they are? Are they trying to show how much they care about their constituents? Are they trying to look hip? I just […]

… And in the “If this would have been a Republican” dept….

Share Button

I didn’t hear about this either. Yet how many have seen a story in the last 24 hour about Newt’s stupid Tiffanies credit account, which is NOT over drawn and is PERFECTLY LEGAL! If Epstein were a Republican, I bet it would have gotten A BIT more coverage from regular media. It is funny and […]

Something Amazing And Truly Rare Has Happened… A Real And Sincere Apology!

Share Button

OK people… Pay attention. This is what a real apology looks like. This is NOT one of those lawyer written pieces of drivel – this is straight from the heart. I’m not a fan of Schultz by any means, his on-air shtick is just a liberal cloning of the worst techniques employed by the kingpin […]

Dan Carlin Bait!

Breaking News: The Roosevelt Administration LIED to the US Supreme Court in order to continue Japanese internment during WW2. I wonder how often this happens? Here is the story. Acting Sol Gen Neal Katyal should get a medal or something for admitting the truth about this. We need more people like this in government.

Media Bias – The Imperial President!

You know… If President George W Bush told Congress he didn’t need their approval to wage war, the press would not take that lying down… something that is obviously extra-constitutional… There would be an uproar like you’ve never seen like you often saw back when he was President. So what’s changed? Oh, that. Well, between […]
