Okay. Right. At ABC News, “Obama: Health Care Bill Would Be Most Important Legislation Since Social Security Act” (via): President Obama praised the Senate’s 60-39 passage of the $871 billion health care overhaul bill despite the fact that not a single Republican voted in favor following 24 consecutive days of often bitter debate and deep […]

The John Birch Society announces it has paid for a booth at: February’s Conservative Political Action Conference, a Pajamas Media columnist has a conniption, National Review‘s Jonah Goldberg accuses CPAC of a “big mistake,” and even NRO contributor: Mark Krikorian: : jumps on the dogpile. Understand this: CPAC has scores of sponsoring organizations, who pay money to rent exhibition […]

I usually would never use a line from a modern movie to make a more profound point, but every once in a while there is a line in a move that strikes me. This happened when I was watching the movie, “2012.” Near the end, one of the main characters declares, “It is when we […]

A lot of bloggentary out there along the lines of: Senate Democrats are trying to push through this health care “reform” bill, because the more people see of it, the less they like it. Therefore, the longer it takes, the less chance of passage. Therefore, all together now! Push! I’m envisioning Harry Reid as Bill […]

Okay, here’s an update to my previous post, “Will Alabama Democrat Parker Griffith Be RINO?‘ It turns out the basic point is not lost on voters in the district. Griffith will face a challenge in the GOP primary, accoding to Politico, “Griffith Getting Primaried” (via Memeorandum): Alabama Rep. Parker Griffith may be switching parties to […]

This post is updated, here: “Parker Griffith, a Blame America Democrat, to Face Conservative Primary Challenge.” ********** Everyone’s getting all excited about Alabama Representative Parker Griffith. A first-term Democrat, Griffith has announced he’s switching parties. Griffith serves Alabama’s 5th congressional, and by changing parties he’ll “become the first Republican to hold the historically Democratic, Huntsville-based […]

Crossposted from STACLU: Gun Sales Surge, Violent Crime Drops Its hard to find any optimism with the healthcare disaster so close to being a reality, but glimmers of hope do exist. Democrats are actually pinning their hopes for the midterm on this unpopular healthcare bill. The rest of their strategy is to continue to blame […]

Several lefty commentators are noticing — and, as commentators do, commenting on — the fact that the health care “reform” bill, currently limping through the Senate like a Skeksis on his way to dinner, doesn’t take effect until 2014. Five years from now. For example, Ezra Klein: There’s a lot of talk over whether the […]

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 […]

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 […]

Republican Sen. Tom Coburn recently suggested that seniors will die sooner if Congress passes the medicare cuts in the health care bill. He has gotten all kinds of grief about that from the left, but I think they may have forgotten that Coburn was a practicing physician for 25 years. I think he knows how […]

I think perhaps the promise to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba – a supposed symbol of American shame – and the subsequent inability to do so is symbolic of how inept, to this point, this administration has been. President Obama, while a candidate, had a guaranteed applause line each time he promised to […]

Well, you knew the comparison was bound to happen. Tiger and Pres. Obama. But who would have guessed it would come from a liberal at the Huffington Post titled “Two Black Role Models Done In By Hubris“? In the past few weeks, the two most famous and arguably most successful black men in America have […]

President Obama’s decision to relocate Guantanamo Bay’s inmates to my home state of Illinois is a misguided decision that will ultimately be regretted. Proponents of the decision have failed to prove how this move will make America safer. Let’s be clear: the Administration is not closing Guantanamo, they are simply moving Guantanamo to Illinois. The […]

Copenhagen has settled into what can only be characterized as an embarrassment for those who had hoped to see a historic treaty limiting greenhouse gases signed. World leaders – with Gordon Brown arriving tonight in the vanguard – are facing the humiliating prospect of having little of substance to sign on Friday, when they are […]

We are at a tipping point. I think today we will know if this boondoggle of a healthcare bill will pass or not. We Republicans have never been a part of this. The Democrats like to pretend that Republicans were holding things up, but it was always the reasonable: people in their own party. Yesterday they […]
