This is from the 9/16/2008 debate on healthcare at Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. Paul Krugman decides to show everyone how great socialized medicine is by asking the Canadians in the room about it and the result is hilarious — well, if you’re conservative.

Right Wing News emailed more than 240 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to answer 4 questions about the bailout. The following 62 blogs responded: The Absurd Report, Atlas Shrugs, The Baseball Crank, Basil’s Blog, BizzyBlog, Dispatches from Blogblivion, Bookworm Room, Cao’s Blog, Cassy Fiano, Conservative Grapevine, Conservative Punk, Conservatism Today, Copious Dissent, DANEgerus Weblog, Argghhhh!, […]

This hasn’t really been an election about issues. John McCain has run on experience, “country first,” being a POW, and being a maverick. Barack Obama has run on being a Democrat, being black, being able to read speeches off of a teleprompter, and “change.” Earlier on the campaign, both candidates focused heavily on the war […]

I take a nap and this is what happens while I’m sleeping? Good. Grief. My natural instinct is to say that it’s good when new laws don’t get passed. Gridlock is a beautiful thing because laws tend to make the average person’s life harder. So the bailout plan failed. I should be ecstatic. Certainly, the […]

From Thaddeus McCotter, the current Chairman of the Republican House Policy Committee and the man I’d like to see leading the Republican Party in the House after the 2008 elections. “Thank you. I rise today not to change anyone’s mind but to express to my constituents my reasons for opposing this bill. There will always […]

As you’re probably seeing everywhere, the 700 billion dollar crap sandwich that’s being served to taxpayers has been defeated by a small margin on the floor. Here’s the vote count according to Hot Air, The final tally was 207-226, with Democrats supporting it 141-94, while Republicans opposed it 66-132. What we have here are large […]

There won’t be any vote in the Senate because the bill has gone down in the House. Dems – 141 Yes/94 No Reps – 64 Yes/134 No So, by a vote of 228 against to 205 for, the bill is dead – at least for today. As the bill was announced in the House, the […]

Here’s how the Democrats “solved” the housing crisis a few years back: And then there is this video that covers visually, what I’ve written about before, about what caused the financial crisis: Here’s an inconvenient truth: President Bush was smarter than Nancy Pelosi about this housing mess (not saying much, but still). John McCain tried […]

I’m totally planning to go see this on Saturday. The promos for it have been hilarious. Hat tip to Hot Air for the video.

Joseph Stalin isn’t the only great thinker to provide inspiration to Obamatrons. The official Obamessiah website allows acolytes to post their favorite quotations from moonbats through the ages. You probably won’t see George Washington or Winston Churchill, but you will find these lefty luminaries: • Karl Marx • Ho Chi Minh • Mao Tse-Tung • […]

Believe it or not, someone actually wrote the words you are about to read to a useless, 5th rate Ann Landers over at Salon, named Cary Tennis, And then came Sarah. My reaction to her, and the way the Republican Party threw her in our faces, and the pandering and hypocrisy that was behind their […]

Last week, I interviewed David Freddoso about his new book, The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our phone conversation. Enjoy! …You did an appearance in Chicago and bizarrely, Barack Obama had his supporters call in to jam […]

“Our nation faces an economic challenge today equal to any challenge we have previously faced and now requires our full attention. The following snapshot of our economy should impress upon everyone the seriousness of the job ahead. The national debt currently stands at over $9.58 trillion, the largest in World history. This year’s deficit, in […]

Dick Morris can be a little hit or miss with his political advice, but his latest words of wisdom for the Republicans in Congress in general and John McCain in particular should be heeded, During Friday’s debate, John McCain assiduously and inexplicably avoided using the issue that might have won him the debate and the […]

Glenn Reynolds didn’t love the McCain performance at the debate, but finds folks who think the old man did great. His conclusion: You should never trust my judgment of these things, as I remember thinking that Carter won the Carter-Reagan debates. But Obama clearly won the post-debate spin, anyway. Well, is there anything — anything? […]

This is a preview of the final bill that they’ve worded on this weekend. This is from a Republican source (email) showing a comparison of the previous two bills and the final bill as they wish to present it. Obviously there may be more: Issue Paulson Plan Frank-Dodd Final Bill $ 700B with no strings. […]

Ah, now this is my kind of article. Western Chauvinist tooted her own horn over at Gerard’s place when he linked to us, and I’m glad she did. To the sidebar she goes. It’s a little difficult to tease this posting the way she’s structured it; I’ll do my best… Is Modern Liberalism Gene Roddenberry’s […]

Documented, but not surprising: A description of the video: A Pro-McCain march on the Upper West Side in Manhattan on Sunday, September 21, 2008. A group of McCain-Palin supporters dare to march through the Upper West Side – infidels in the liberal Mecca. Local “progressives” boo, jeer, and flip fingers at them with a rage […]

“Already, Bear Stearns was awarded a $29 billion bailout, followed quickly by the bailout of Freddie and Fannie that will cost the taxpayers up to $200 billion. Then the Fed announced the bailout of AIG to the tune of $85 billion. Moreover, the Feds agreed to pump $180 billion into global money markets. And the […]

A triple shot of weird from the New York Times. Let’s start with “Obama has many ties to Fannie Mae, AIG, Lobbyists, and Domestic Terrorists.” Huh? Oh, sorry: McCain and Team Have Many Ties to Gambling Industry Senator John McCain was on a roll. In a room reserved for high-stakes gamblers at the Foxwoods Resort […]

If you’re like me, the second the debate ended, you got on your computer to check whether the consensus in the blogosphere jived with your own impressions of the first Presidential debate. I discovered that the general consensus (from both liberal and conservative bloggers) was that McCain scored on points. He held his own on […]

McCain’s rapid response team struck the iron while it was hot last night by putting out an ad almost immediately attacking Obama. And there’s already a second one. Last night, Obama tried to defend the fact that he voted to cut funding for our troops, and McCain slams him on it. He even uses Obama’s […]

Crossposted from Stop the ACLU He jabbed all night long, just in case you were wondering. By the way, did anyone else notice how many times Obama said that McCain was right? The McCain camp noticed…. There were at least five other times Obama started off with the phrase that McCain was right on an […]

Everybody is talking about this poll from CNN declaring victory for Obama’s debate performance last night with an article titled “Round 1 in debates goes to Obama, poll says.” Noah Pollak reads the fine print of the article and takes a few notes from deeper down into the specifics. Buried way, way down at the […]
