Posted on July 26, 2010 by William Teach

Why does it seem that every s0-called energy bill actually is about restrictions and taxes, but barely about increase energy production and means?

Charlie Rangel (D-NY) Epitome of Most Ethical Congress Ever! Plus, Racism!

Posted on July 25, 2010July 25, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

My latest post at David Horowitz’s NewsReal: By most ethical Congress ever, I of course mean the total opposite. Much like the claims of the most transparent administration ever — in Obama-era Newspeak terms, you must just assume the opposite to be true. Charlie Rangel, after having been forced, kicking and screaming, to step down […]

AGW Today: Kerry And ABC News Use FAIL Tag

Posted on July 24, 2010 by William Teach

You do have to give John Kerry some props: he is using the old saying that there is no such thing as bad press to good effect. Witness his latest histrionics Speaking at a town hall-style meeting promoting climate change legislation on Thursday, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) predicted there will be “an ice-free Arctic” in […]

Cook County Board to Extort Suburban Drivers

Posted on July 24, 2010July 24, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Just a reminder of how Obama’s Chicago Way-style of politics works…. THIS is where he comes from: Oh, the games Cook County Board President little Todd Stroger plays. And they are always about sticking it to the taxpayers, aren’t they? Stroger and his Democrat co-conspirators have really proven that county Democrats are more like a […]

Recess missing one key demand from the Obama/Pelosi Led House

Posted on July 23, 2010July 23, 2010 by Heather Bachman

: : : : : : : : : : : The one thing Obama seemed to pride himself on was that his legislative majority, especially in the house, was behind him.: When ObamaCare was signed into law, it was called a triumph by many of the liberal Representatives who supported it.: However, when it came to actually supporting it on their land via health-care […]

Confirmed: Administration Playing Games On Issue Of Unemployment Benefits Extension

Posted on July 23, 2010July 23, 2010 by Sister Toldjah

CBS News’ Mark Knoller reports on how both the administration and Democrats in Congress have shamelessly used the issue of the unemployment benefits extension in an attempt at political gain during an election year: In signing the bill restoring unemployment benefits to 2 million Americans jobless for more than 26 weeks, President Obama is also […]

Hypocritic Democrats Today: Kerry Avoids Paying Taxes (plus open thread)

Posted on July 23, 2010July 23, 2010 by William Teach

Yeah, I know, John Kerry is kinda old and busted, but, he has been trying to rehabilitate his standing with his climate change wackadoodleness (I don’t care if it isn’t a word, being Friday and all), and, let’s face it: it’s really funny exposing Democrats for the hypocrites they are Sen. John Kerry, who has […]

Posted on July 23, 2010July 23, 2010 by Lori Ziganto

Originally posted at NewsReal The most insidious form of media bias is deciding what to cover and, more importantly, what not to cover.: The revelations uncovered by The Daily Caller in regard to Journolist have been damning on that front.

Posted on July 23, 2010July 21, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Education Next undertook for the first time an effort to find out how much of their members dues money that teachers unions spent on political action. The results are very interesting.

Friday Awesome: Say Goodbye To Cap And Tax

Posted on July 23, 2010 by William Teach

At least for this year Senate Democrats pulled the plug on climate legislation Thursday, pushing the issue off into an uncertain future ahead of midterm elections where President Barack Obama’s party is girding for a drubbing. Rather than a long-awaited measure capping greenhouse gases – or even a more limited bill directed only at electric […]

Posted on July 23, 2010July 21, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

New federal regulations issued by Obama’s administration will require doctors to record their patient’s body mass index (BMI) ratio.

Obama Parody Brilliance: Same as it Ever Was… After the Oils Gone

Posted on July 22, 2010July 22, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

This is some brilliant parody of the Talking Heads song “Same As It Ever Was.” This one lampoons Obama’s sad reaction to the Gulf oil spill. Smashing work, from The PolitiZoid Channel. They also gave us this one… Love it. (H/T HotAir.com and alhouse.blogspot.com)

Jury Damage Award Could Close Calif. Healthcare Facilities

Posted on July 22, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

When companies are found to have violated regulations that govern their industry, is it right that a jury of non-experts can award damages the amount of which will wipe the company off the face of the earth? That is a question that has been raised in a case recently decided against Skilled Healthcare LLC of […]

Top Ten most Left-Biased American Journalists – #2: Joe Klein, Time Magazine

Posted on July 22, 2010July 21, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Second place looms large and it is quite an honorable — or maybe onerous — award on our top ten most left-biased working American journalists list. Amusingly our number two guy even graduated from a school that foretold his future work. From the bowels of New York’s exclusive Hackley School comes our number two most […]

Shirley Sherrod: “I’m A Victim Of Racism”

Posted on July 22, 2010 by William Teach

Yesterday, I had a second post ready to go about about racism, which included a bit from Ben Smith’s article about Obama being pretty lame on the subject (Melissa Clouthier covers that story this morning.) However, since there were several other posts about racism up at Right Wing News (I cross post the first two […]

AEI: More Unions Means Fewer Jobs

Posted on July 22, 2010July 21, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

In April Lee Ohanian of the American Enterprise Institute published a paper on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) that is a must read. But this month he published a shorter piece that is just as interesting. In it, Ohanian claims that if we increased unionism as the Obamaites want to do, we’d actually lose […]

Top Ten most Left-Biased American Journalists – #3: Paul Krugman, The New York Times

Posted on July 21, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Number three on our list almost violates the criteria that I set up in the first piece I wrote for this series. I said then that denizens of the Old Media that are too much a “cartoon of journalism” would not be included on my list. Yet despite my dismissal of such Old Media clowns, […]

Lazy Union Hires Scabs to Protest For Them

Posted on July 21, 2010July 21, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Disrupting a business and trying to extort them for undeserved riches is a tough job. It really makes a union thug tired, you know? So, what to do, what to do? Well, because protesting an employer is such tiring work, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters Union came up with the perfect solution: hire non-union […]

Pets Subjected to Healthcare Reform

Posted on July 20, 2010July 20, 2010 by Dave Blount

Under Canada’s socialized medicine, you can get faster medical attention at the veterinarian than you can at the hospital. But that won’t happen here. California bureauweenies are seeing to it by imposing “healthcare reform” on pets: Democratic state Assemblyman Dave Jones, who is running for state insurance commissioner in the November election, said some of […]

Obama’s FDR-Like Bait and Switch

Posted on July 20, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when Barack Hussein Obama first became president and the left-wing Old Media universally indulged the claim that he was “just like FDR“? Of late the Old Media has backed off that hyperbolic statement, but at least in a single incident, Obama has proven indeed to be just like FDR. The similarity entails laws about […]

Calif Video: Union Goons Start Pushing and Hitting Videographers

Posted on July 20, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

This is how “nurses” act? The kind, gentle folks of the California Nurses Association are seen in this video intimidating, pushing and knocking around some videographers at the union’s recent pro-Democrat rally in California. Mike Griffing is the bearded fellow acting the thug at the end of the video. But he isn’t just some run-of-the-mill […]

Posted on July 20, 2010 by William Teach

How bad are Obama and the Democrats policies for unemployment?

A Misleading Story on ‘Facts’

Posted on July 19, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

On July 11, the Boston Globe featured a story on “facts” and how people just don’t seem to want to hear them when they intersect with closely held political opinions. The story has some interesting points to make, points that seem quite sensible, but there is no escaping the fact that the whole story is […]

For All Teachers’ Whining, Almost Half of Chicago Area Teachers Make $100K a Year

Posted on July 19, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

As the Obama economy tumbles farther and farther down into depression, as states begin to face the reality of a budget crunch that can only be solved by layoffs of public employees, and as teachers find they are open to those layoffs, we commonly hear teachers claim that they are perennially underpaid and don’t deserve […]

Snap! Companies Consider Moving Overseas Thanks To Finance Bill

Posted on July 19, 2010 by William Teach

Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite action. Too bad over-blown and idiotic legislation doesn’t do the same, because, in this case, when you push the ball at 5mph, it explodes and moves at 50mph, causing all sorts of damage U.S. banks, hedge funds and other […]
