Year: 2009

A couple of points need to be highlighted regarding Paul Krugman’s opinion piece at New York Times today, “A Dangerous Dysfunction.” (Via Memeorandum.) The first is that the essay’s a good indication of the outsized influence of unhinged radical bloggers have on people like Paul Krugman, a Princeton professor and Nobel prizewinner. For example, just […]

Really, is it any wonder why Americans hate this administration? From the Wall Street Journal, “Change Nobody Believes In“: A bill so reckless that it has to be rammed through on a partisan vote on Christmas eve. And tidings of comfort and joy from Harry Reid too. The Senate Majority Leader has decided that the […]

Megan McArdle thinks it’s really, really bad for them: Democrats are on a political suicide mission; I’m not a particularly accurate prognosticator, but I think this makes it very likely that in 2010 they will (lose) several seats in the Senate–enough to make it damn hard to pass any more of their signature legislation–and will […]

There are a lot of different memes on what’s happening with the ObamaCare debate. For one thing, the legislation’s not passed yet. And while I’m not sure if we’ll stop it, protesters are gearing up. See Nice Deb, “EMERGENCY HEALTH CARE RALLY, Omaha, NE, Sunday 12/20.” Plus, watch the opposition on the House side. See, […]

I dropped off a $15 “Bionicle” toy yesterday at the annual “Stuff-a-Bus” toy drive at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Those giving toys walk right into the buses, which are loan from the Orange County Transit Authority. And seriously, the buses are filled to brim with toys! The NHL’s Mighty Ducks play at the Honda […]

Oh my gosh. Seriously. My oldest kids are home from college, my house if full children ages 12-22. I’m shopping, cleaning, cooking, wrapping, and going to Christmas parties. I don’t have time to blog. But here I am because this is so important. The Democrats are trying to rush this health care bill through when […]

Headline: Low targets, goals dropped: Copenhagen ends in failure Failure? Why failure? They went there to make an agreement, and they did. The UN climate summit reached a weak outline of a global agreement in Copenhagen tonight, falling far short of what Britain and many poor countries were seeking and leaving months of tough negotiations […]

My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up at WND. You get lots of FREE audio and video highlights from the week in conservative talk radio — the best of Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and many others. Since my deadline, here’s what’s been up: Mark Steyn will be guest hosting for Sean […]

You have to admit, if nothing else it has been entertaining watching all the factions among Democrats go to war over this health care fiasco. You have the Liberal caucus in the House saying no vote without a public option. Then there are the Blue Dogs saying no vote with a public option. You have […]

For those of you interested or keeping up, Copenhagen’s Climate Change Summit has been a disaster. India and China had had enough. Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh and China premier Wen Jiabao walked out of the summit along with their respective delegations as talks failed. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev left the deadlocked UN climate summit […]

Harry Reid has called a vote to close cloture on Monday at 1am. This is essentially a vote to pass the bill and is critical. Encourage McConnell to continue filibustering. Other Senators that need to hear from you: Blanche Lincoln Ben Nelson Roland Burris Claire McCaskill Jim Webb Russ Feingold

That is all.

Taking a slight break from politics Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. Drive carefully. It’s not […]
