Cook County Board to Extort Suburban Drivers

Posted on 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.

Obama’s FDR-Like Bait and Switch

Posted on 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“?

Financial Reform? More Like Union Giveaways!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Thursday the Senate passed the Democrat’s financial reform bill.

No Problems With Union Nap Time

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Do you get paid to sleep on the job? The union employees of New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority apparently do. And if caught sleeping on the job, the punishment seems to be just a slap on the wrist, a wink and a nod, and business as usual afterward. All at $33 dollars an hour of […]

First Lady to Waste Millions ‘Visiting’ The Gulf Oil Spill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Democrats Continue to Use Tax $ to Pay Union Members to do Union Business

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once again Democrats decided that it was a good idea to pay workers of federal employee unions 100% of their salary to do union business during work hours instead of doing the job they were hired for.

Well, she’s a former alcoholic, drug addict, washed up actor, shock therapy patient (no, really) and one-time princess to the universe, but now Carrie “Princess Leia” Fisher can add one more calumny to her long list of off-kilter, personality deficits: she’s a “teabagger” hater.
