Tax cheat Timothy Geithner is becoming an expert at pulling the "blame Bush" routine.

President Obama has decided that he isn't going to make a decision on sending troops to Afghanistan until after Thanksgiving.

Barack Obama conveniently downplays errors in his stimulus data, saying that it is a "side issue."

Our healthcare reform debate has been given a failing grade by the dean of Harvard Medical School.

So what exactly is Obama doing over there in Asia? Has he been successful?

Here's some of the fallout from the union leader that threatened legal action against the Eagle Scout for 'taking union jobs.'

Jamie Dupree enlightened us yesterday about this exchange between ethically-challenged attorney general Eric Holder and South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

Also, keep checking Jamie's blog for all the details of the on the Senate's new 2,047 page healthcare bill.

During his trip to Asia, Obama said those offended by the legal privileges given to Muhammed by virtue of getting a civilian trial rather than a military tribunal won't find it "offensive at all when he's convicted and when the death penalty is applied to him."

Victor Davis Hanson writes, "there is a growing sense that America is in fact hemorrhaging - as both friends and enemies abroad smell blood in the water."

More than $98 billion in taxpayer dollars spent by government agencies was wasted. What else would you expect from government?

Our own chief federal oversight official for the stimulus program said that he can't certify whether the number of jobs "created or saved" by stimulus funds is accurate.

First we had made up districts in Arizona, now the Obama administration is providing economic stimulus to phantom districts in Texas.

Try this one on for size ... one out of every 10 jobs the White House says were "saved or created" by the economic stimulus plan, came from projects that reported spending no money yet.

The AARP received an $18 million grant in the economic stimulus package for a job training program that has not created any jobs.

A federal judge has ruled that it was the Army Corps of Engineers that failed to properly protect New Orleans from flooding during Hurricane Katrina.

Will the Democrats' attempt to "fix" healthcare end up making our problems worse? Here's how.

Now we get a dose of race and healthcare ... Rev. Jesse Jackson says, "You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man."

It looks like Barack Obama has yet another appointee who happens to have issues with her taxes.

Rather than focusing on the individual mandate and its lack of Constitutionality, the Republicans instead have chosen to focus on abortion.

Remember that one of Obama's first promises upon taking office was to close Gitmo within the year. Well, he has finally admitted that that is not going to happen.

Reason Magazine explains why you can kiss your freedoms goodbye if the Democrats manage to pass their healthcare legislation.

There are 3 trillion reasons to hope that the Senate is not as fiscally reckless as their counterparts in the House when it comes to healthcare legislation.

Since the beginning of the year, unemployment has risen from 7.2% to 10.2%. Here's why. I'll give you a hint: Obama didn't help matters.

Now we come to learn that Major Nidal Malik Hasan signed his e-mails with "Praise Be to Allah."

Democrats say they will pass jobs legislation by Christmas. Quick question ... what are they planning to do to create more jobs?

Less than ten years from now, 40% of Americans will be obese. You wanna know why our healthcare costs are increasing? Just look in the mirror you blubberbutts!

A former soldier in England has been arrested and convicted (and may even go to jail for five years) because he found a gun in his yard and he turned it over to the police. Only government.

Is Obama Planning A $3 Trillion Tax Increase?

We talked about this one yesterday, but it's worthy of a reading assignment. Barack Obama is quite the magician! He managed to create jobs in a district that doesn't even exist!

Uh oh ... Europeans are not happy with the great one, Barack Obama, because he failed to deliver on climate change.

Our Health and Human Services Department is showing "growing concern about racial, ethnic and language disparities in healthcare."

Mike Huckabee says that Obama's redistribution tendencies extend to all sorts of policies, not just taxes or healthcare.

Who knew that it was possible to "unconcede."

The Post Office cut 40,000 jobs and cut costs, but it still managed to lose $3.8 billion last year.

Victor Davis Hanson has transcribed the current message belching from the Obama administration: Get Used to an Exceptional President and an Unexceptional Country.

How much have the taxpayers invested in every GM car sold?

This is what happens when you rush legislation through Congress. Millions of Americans may end up owing money to the IRS because of how the Obama administration set up its payment plan for its Obama stimulus checks.

Slobbering Barney Frank wants to use the interest the government collects from the financial bailout to give loans to unemployed homeowners struggling to pay the mortgage.

So who will be the lucky brave 12 jurors to serve on the trial of Islamic goon Khalid Shaikh Mohammed?

Eric Holder's decision to try KSM in criminal court has essentially cheapened the value of US citizenship.

The more details we learn about Major Nidal Malik Hasan and the days leading up to the shooting in Fort Hood, the more frustrated I become with our failure to stop this Islamic goon.

This editorial comes from Ireland, where even THEY see that America is afraid of being anti-Muslim .. that's why we failed to stop Nidal Malik Hasan.

From the nanny state government in the UK: Health and safety inspectors are to be given unprecedented access to family homes to ensure that parents are protecting their children from household accidents.

Why do unions, particularly the SEIU, want the Democrats to pass their healthcare reform? Because the unions will get more power!

Another Senator insists that the authority to force Americans to purchase health insurance is the "very first enumerated power" in the Constitution.

The United Nations nuclear agency announced that Iran will start up its once-secret nuclear facility in 2011.

Remember all of these reports on jobs created/saved by the Obama stimulus plan? Now the Obama administration has slashed 60,000 jobs from its most recent report due to "unrealistic data."

The Supreme Court won't hear an appeal from a group of Native Americans who think the name of the NFL's Washington Redskins football team is offensive. Good.

Ethically-challenged Attorney General Eric Holder has decided to dial back his plans to reinstate the assault weapons ban.

What does our declining dollar have to do with the current healthcare debate?

Islamic nations want the United Nations to implement international religious defamation (read: Islamic defamation) laws.

The word racism has become such a joke. Somehow, this Walmart incident in Missouri turned into an issue of race.

This may be a simple question, but one worth exploring: Why does Obama keep bowing?

What's the point if you are just going to dress 'em up in burqas?

With every day that passes Obama's ego seems to get larger. He is starting to believe his own press. More and more pundits are seeing this and are commenting. Here's some fun reading from W. McCahill, Jeff Jacoby, Tony Fratto, The Tampa Tribune, Examiner.com. More later!

Here's my latest column in the Atlanta Journal Constitution: Moochers need free-market dose. NOTE: I had a little disagreement with my editor at the AJC over this one. I described the Democrats hell-bent on taking over our health care as "Looters" when I wrote the column. You see, I divide the nation into three classes: The moochers, the looters and the producers. The looters (government) loot from the producers and give to the moochers in return for moocher votes. So ... just substitute the word "looter" for "moocher" and you'll see it the way I wrote it. Editors ... something I'm going to have to get used to. Thank goodness we don't have them in talk radio.

Speaking of moochers .. check out what happened in France when a website arranged a stunt to hand out free cash.

KSM trial in New York: An intelligence bonanza for Al Qaeda.

And just how much did our precious and government-run Medicare program hand out in suspect Medicare claims last year? Read here and find out .. then throw up. It's your money you know.

Hey y'all! Here's an idea! Let's turn Medicare into a wealth redistribution program!

Did Obama really have to bow to the emperor of Japan? Other world leaders haven't felt the need.

Our imperial federal government now wants to run every subway and light-rail system in the country. Just what we need! More government.

Here we go with another major eminent domain case. This one from New York.

This upcoming conference in Copenhagen on climate change has been deemed a complete wash. Those of you who were worried that Obama was going to sign away our sovereignty can rest easy.

This is humorous ... George W. Bush is warning us of too much government.

After quadrupling the deficit thanks to his economic stimulus bill, Barack Obama has now decided that he wants a spending freeze.

The US is headed toward "third-class status as a nation" because of the budget deficit.

South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint has successfully convinced the Obama administration to change its stance on upcoming elections in Honduras.

It's hard to fight a "war on terror" if you can't use the words "Muslim" or "terrorism."

Barack Obama wants Congress to delay its investigation into the Fort Hood shooting.

Could Newt Gingrich be working on a Contract with America round 2?

What information does Barack Obama need in order to make a decision on Afghanistan? He won't tell us.

There are a few people who aren't buying into OwlGore's global warming scam. These people dared to protest a Nobel Peace Prize winner!

For what it's worth, OwlGore has admitted that CO2 is not the main cause of global warming.

Despite the fact that this cap-and-trade scheme is a fraud, countries like Britain are considering annual carbon allowances that would be rationed and you would be penalized if you use too much fuel.

The Dutch government is going to tax drivers based on how many miles they drive.

Government transparency at its finest.

The government is sending millions of dollars in stimulus aid to communities and housing agencies that federal watchdogs have concluded are unable to spend it appropriately.

This 18-year-old thug will never live to attempt another carjacking. DRT.

Could the Democrats manage to implement a Fairness Doctrine 2.0?

 

Now we are learning that officials ordered that documents be shredded in the case of the firing of Inspector General Gerald Walpin.

 

Major Nidal Hasan proclaimed himself a "soldier of Allah" on private business cards.  What a complete failure on the part of our intelligence community .. all because of political correctness.

 

There are ten states in this country that are on the verge of economic disaster.  If I'm not mistaken, nine out of the ten states were Obama states.

 

This should scare you ... No education secretary has ever had so much money for government school improvement with so few conditions from Congress.

 

The winner in the war on terrorism is ... China?

 

A caller had her thong in a wad over this story yesterday: Chuck Norris says that Obama Wants 'To Create a One World Order' at Copenhagen Climate Talks.

 

This is rich ... ACORN has filed a lawsuit against the federal government, trying to restore its federal funds.

Republicans in South Carolina are censuring their own Lindsey Graham for being a RINO.

 

The latest Gallup polls show that Republicans have now surpassed Democrats as the public's choice in the 2010 congressional elections.

 

You know the Democrats are desperate when they turn to Bill Clinton for advice on how to pass healthcare legislation.  Maybe they could make him the sex addict czar.

 

AIG's CEO is frustrated by Obama's pay limits.  Something tells me he isn't going to get a lot of sympathy from the wealth envy crowd.

 

Despite what the lamestream media tells you, not only are crimes against Muslims down, significantly, since 2001 but there have been about the same number of crimes against Christians and far more crimes against Jews.

 

Liberals can't compete on the radio and now they are slipping when it comes to book sales.  Who knows .. maybe we will soon have segregated New York Times best-seller lists!  Or a Fairness Doctrine for books!

 

Now here's a question for you to gnaw on ... Does Obama Think Tea Party Activists Are On The Same Level As Islamic Radicals?

 

 No matter how much the Republicans warn us about this cap-and-trade scheme, the Democrats will push forward with it nonetheless.  The latest is how it would stop any form of economic development requiring federal permits.

 

Apparently moonbat Alan Grayson's challenger down there in Central Florida is quite a character himself. 

 

Feminists have a new idol, according to Camille Paglia: Princess Nancy Pelosi.

 

Well this column really puts it out there ... Barack Obama despises America.

From The Wall Street Journal:  America Leaves Itself Behind.

 

You'll love this  one from Stossel.  "The U.S. House of Presumptuous Meddlers"  

 

EPA lawyers step forward to explain why this cap-and-trade bill is "fatally flawed."  Needless to say, there are a lot of people in Washington who aren't too happy about this.

 

Yesterday I told you about Rep. Cardoza of California who scored a $500 million medical center in his district as leverage for his vote on Pelosicare.  Here are some more examples of the backroom deals that took place to get this thing passed.

 

There are two different bills floating around in Washington right now that want to rein in financial institutions.  Here are the differences ...

 

The city of Las Vegas got a $64.3 million grant to buy houses for low-income families.  Eight months later, not a single person is in a house. 

 

Even a liberal admits that with healthcare reform, Democrats are creating a new entitlement program, which, once established, will be virtually impossible to rescind.

 

Could we be gearing up for Townhall Part II over healthcare reform as Congress returns home for the Veterans Day recess.

 

Should the FBI consider the shooting at Fort Hood an act of terrorism?

 

Of the 200 amendments the Democrats in the House rejected before passing Pelosicare, 11 would have required for Congress to enroll in the government option.

 

As Jonah Goldberg puts it: Sometimes, an extremist is really an extremist.

 

In the wake of Wall Street dishing out bonuses, Slobbering Barney explains all of the ways he plans to tax the evil, filthy rich.

 

Looks like New York is on the same path as California .. toward bankruptcy. 

 

The latest victim of the global warming movement: golf balls.

 

A federal judge has ruled that South Carolina can't issue license plates showing the image of a cross in front of a stained glass window along with the phrase "I Believe."

 

Oh you will love this.  The EPA is now accepting grant applications for projects aimed at addressing environmental and public health issues in "communities with environmental justice concerns."

 

Code Pink .. full of class .. apparently targeted children of military families on Halloween.

 

Iran's Ahmadinejad says that he is still awaiting "real change" from Barack Obama.  Get in line, buddy.

Chris Dodd is going to unveil his financial regulation bill today.

 

Dick Morris says that the shooting in Fort Hood was an act of terrorism.

 

I love this .. thanks to Barack Obama and the Democrats running the show, it's beginning to look like the late 1970s all over again!

 

The foreign papers say that Obama did not attend the Berlin Wall ceremonies because they were not centered around him.

 

But Obama DID manage to send a video message to the Berlin wall celebrations.

 

This whole healthcare debate comes down to one thing: do you trust the government to determine what is best for your life?  The answer should be obvious, folks.

 

British spies managed to foil a terrorist plot by a suspected al Qaeda operative to blow up the New York subway. 

 

Thank you, Rush. 

 

The White House has indicated that is won't rule out using budget reconciliation rules in order to pass healthcare reform.

 

Pelosicare will take our country one step closer to bankruptcy.  All of this just so the Democrats can have more control of you, your life and your decisions.

 

This article pretty much sums is up: government force is at the heart of Obamacare.

 

Barack Obama campaigned on the idea of bringing America together, and it turns out that his administration has achieved quite the opposite so far.

 

The Supreme Court turned down last-minute appeals from the DC sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad.  Good riddance.

 

This story is certainly making the rounds.  An Obama protester who was apparently beaten by union thugs.

 

As of right now, 58% of Americans believe that a Republican will be our next president.

 

Do you remember Louisiana Rep. William Jefferson, convicted on federal charges of bribery, fraud, money laundering?  The feds want to lock him up for up to 33 years.

 

Republicans say that the Democrats are putting their agenda ahead of the country.  Same could be said for the Republicans too.

 

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele plays the race card. 

 

I guess this is what they mean by free speech in Cuba.

 

Communist goods are making a comeback.  That won't last long in a free market economy.

We will start off the week with a libertarian warning about the slippery slope of government intervention.

 

Read this and tell me how thrilled you are that The Community Organizer is our president.  Maybe this will be enough to get you to take that embarrassing Obama bumper sticker off your car.  Why advertise that you're a screw up? 

 

This is a list of the winners and the losers, hand-picked by Princess Nancy herself and outlined in her healthcare bill.

 

Black protesters in Washington over the weekend believe that "Obama is white power in black face."

 

Here's a great, short political analysis of what happened in the House over the weekend.

 

Mark Steyn points to a potentially fatal flaw at the heart of what we have called, since 9/11, the "war on terror."

 

Have you ever noticed that higher income taxes do not translate into smaller budget deficits?  Seems that many politicians have yet to notice this.

 

Speaking of the "war on terror," what role does the liberal left play in our efforts to combat Islamic extremism?

 

George Will expounds on this global warming fraud in the lead up to Copenhagen.

 

The Senate Homeland Security Committee is going to conduct a congressional investigation of the shootings at Fort Hood.

 

Did Obama Just Convict the Suspected Fort Hood Shooter?

 

Residents in a village in New York will be allowed to cast as many as six votes for one trustee candidate, after a judge ruled that the village voting system was unfair to Hispanics.

 

The G-20 wants to tax banks and other financial institutions to help fund future government emergency aid, but tax cheat Timothy Geithner says that the US won't back that plan.

 

Taking a look at polling trends, it seems that the Obama administration has managed to return America to "politics as usual" rather than living up to expectation.

 

In the wake of the shooting at Fort Hood, Barack Obama is trying to diffuse any anti-Muslim backlash.

 

One Congressman's idea of "transparency" includes installing cameras in every room on Capitol Hill.

 

Looks like Russia may be changing its tune on sanctions against Iran.

 

Maybe this is why ... a secret watchdog report believes that Iran may have already tested an advanced nuclear warhead design.

 

Freddie Mac posted a $5 billion loss and it predicted that it would need more taxpayer support.  BOHICA!

 

Hugo Chavez is readying his military for war as a deterrent to any US-led attack.

Senate Democrats have blocked a Republican attempt to require the next census forms to ask people whether they are a U.S. citizen.

Considering the crowd that showed up in Washington yesterday to oppose a government takeover of our healthcare system, House Minority Leader John Boehner says that a "rebellion" is forming in this country.

For any of the scientists who do not buy into this global warming scam, Barack Obama says "We'll just have to deal with those people."

Spending in Washington right now isn't all thanks to Democrats. Republicans have had their share of earmarks lately.

Giving troubled borrowers yet another way to avoid foreclosure, Fannie Mae said it would allow eligible homeowners to rent their own homes.

How does the government pay to extend unemployment benefits? It extends a federal unemployment tax on employers.

In the aftermath of the government's cash for clunkers program, we learned that people who traded in their pickup trucks traded them in for ... pickup trucks.

Barack Obama is worried about making important decisions like sending more troops to Afghanistan. He apparently is also worried about the happiness of Native Americans.

Looks like Russia is gearing up for round two in a war with Georgia.

I couldn't make up a story like this if I tried: 11-year-old gives birth to baby girl... after going into labor at her wedding.

Pucker up Matt Towery. The next time I see you I'ma gonna kiss you right on the mouth. By the way ... that picture isn't me. It's some other dude.

A list from the Politico: Obama's best, and worst, moves so far.

The AARP is set to endorse Pelosicare.

As of right now, every House Republican is expected to reject Pelosicare when it comes time to vote.

One out of the hundreds of new regulations in Pelosicare is new regulations on snack/vending machines.

Did you know that CBO estimates on Pelosicare assume that the government will collect $167 billion over the next ten years from people who fail to buy insurance?

This is government ... a House panel set up to "bring meaningful change" to earmark reform has done nothing in last year except request more earmarks.

Some pundits believe that these elections this week showed that Democrats have lost the middle class vote, unless they get spending under control.

A bill making its way through Congress says that banks can't give credit cards to people under 21 unless a parent co-signed or the card holder can prove they could pay the loan.

Looks like the voters of Colorado Springs have sent the message: shrink the size of our government.

Barbara Boxer continues to work on her climate change bill in committee .. by herself.

The blog Big Hollywood has uncovered more videos of government school children singing the praises of Barack Obama. They are officially calling it an epidemic.

More fuzzy math on these stimulus jobs that were created/saved by federal stimulus money.

Speaking of fuzzy math ... apparently getting a raise in salary is considered a 'job saved' according to the federal government.

And if THAT'S not enough ... how about federal stimulus money that claimed to create/save 473 teaching jobs in an Illinois district that only employs 290 teachers.

Coming soon to the United States ... the taxpayers in Great Britain pay the rent for one out of every five British homes.

When it comes down to it, CNN did not crack the top 30 cable networks in prime time.

Human rights courts in Europe have ruled that crucifixes hanging in classrooms violate religious and educational freedoms.

The skewed priorities of the Obama administration ....

Despite Obama's current approach to foreign policy, he cannot be the community organizer for the world.

Thomas Sowell points out that the Democrat plans for our healthcare system will merely shift the costs, not reduce them.

A judge in the UK has ruled that environmental views are "the same as religious beliefs."

What can the 10th amendment do for you?

This is such a terribly simple concept ... let's only pay for healthcare that works. Here's how government intervention will only exacerbate any deficiencies in our current healthcare system. Not make them better.

Will Democrat healthcare legislation cause the federal deficit to soar? The CATO Institute has your answers.

Cap-and-trade legislation will spur job losses and increase costs for consumers. What is so hard for politicians in Washington to understand? Oh that's right ... because it is all about power.

The Republicans boycott a committee meeting with Barbara Boxer, leaving her all alone.

White House Budget Director Peter Orszag warned Tuesday that large federal deficits will eventually imperil the U.S. economy. Gee, ya think?

Obama should not take even a small step down the road toward bartering away free speech for the sake of international consensus.

After Northwest pilots overshot an airport by 150 miles, lawmakers now want to ban the use of computer laptops and other personal electronic devices in airline cockpits.

The foreign papers want to know if Barack Obama is skinny because he is skipping too many meals to run the country? Don't they know that referring to Barack Obama as skinny is racist?

Hollywood receives help from the government, why no salary caps?

'If The Election Were Held Today Obama Would Lose.'

Well ... here's your latest cost estimate on the PelosiCare bill from the house. It's $1.2 trillion. This is a small price for the looters when the aim is control over the people. It's a huge price, and likely to double, when the goal of the people is independence and liberty.

While the big battles are being fought in Washington, Democrats are quietly racking up smaller victories that have been on their wish lists for years. The Wall Street Journal has more.

Uh Oh. Now this is just not going to pass muster. It seems that ALL of the active ethics probes being carried on by the Democrat-chaired ethics committee are focused on black lawmakers. Bunch of racists, I way. We need a quota overhaul here.

Do you wonder why Al Gore refuses to debate the global warming nonsense? Could it possibly be because he has a huge financial stake in promoting this fraud?

Here's a hard luck story ... but the Texas Lottery Commission has this one right.

Just what the Republicans need ... a civil war.

Seems that the voters in Iowa are starting to figure out that they were conned by this hopey-changey thingy. It's not just in Iowa.

And if you're still signed-in to Obama's hopey-changey message, for goodness' sake don't read this. You don't want to find out that to The Community Organizer, it's all about money .. money flowing his way.

Hillary Clinton is doing a slam-bang job of handling the Middle East peace process. Or not ...

Obama says he wants to get serious about creating jobs. Wait, wasn't that what his economic stimulus package was for?

According to Obama's chief dog washer, Valeria Jarrett, the GOP is becoming more and more extreme and marginalized.

A report from the Congressional Research Service shows that the United States has the largest energy reserves on Earth. But because of our government, we can't do a darn thing about it.

What does immigration enforcement have to do with national security? Here's something the Democrats (and some Republicans) don't want you to see.

An analysis found that 3 million registered voters are dead and 12 million are ineligible to vote.

Here in our home base of Georgia, $1.8 billion in stimulus money created/saved 16,000 government school jobs.

Apparently hell froze over. You can now read a Boortz column in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Here's the first one.

Mark Steyn on the Obama administration's promise to "speak truth to power."

The climate change summit in Copenhagen is just weeks away .. and apparently nothing major is expected to happen because the Obama and the Democrats have failed to pass cap-and-trade legislation in the United States.

What does The Wall Street Journal think of Pelosi's health care bill? How about "The Worst Bill Ever"

Here's a little reminder of why cap-and-trade would be disastrous for our economy.

This jobs "created or saved" nonsense; you're not buying that, are you? Oh, wait. If you would by this "change you can believe in" nonsense you would buy almost anything ... so maybe you should read this.

European leaders want a global fund so that rich nations can contribute and help developing nations fight climate change.

I told you about this one last week .. annual Medicare fraud: $60 Billion; annual profits of top ten insurance companies: $8 billion

The United States has ensured the return of ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya. So much for democracy.

Barney Frank's legislation in the House affirms the assumption that too-big-to-fail is not only a reality but a reality that should be acknowledged in law.

Barney Frank also wants financial institutions to pay into a pre-funded trust that would cover the cost of a government takeover, if ever necessary again.

Healthcare reform has become nothing more than a cheesy Washington soap opera starring Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Obamacare vs. the Hippocratic Oath.

The head of the National Endowment for the Arts is Barack Obama's biggest cheerleader.

George Will explains a current controversy in Washington, where the right to privacy is under assault for resident who sign petitions to trigger reform.

This week will test Obama's political clout, where Obama has endorsed threatened Democrat candidates up for re-election in Virginia, New York and New Jersey.

Is this what President Obama meant when he said this would be the most "transparent administration in history"? Rather than coming up with plausible lies, the administration seems to be fine using the transparent kind.

A simple calculator could figure out that the taxpayers have spent $160,000 per job created/saved by Obama's stimulus plan. But the White House calls this "calculator abuse."

Government should not subsidize health insurance -- for the uninsured, the poor, the elderly or anyone else -- or regulate health insurance markets. Here's why.

Federal banking regulators seized nine more banks.

Rather than trying to read these massive bills coming out of Congress, why don't the politicians sit down and read the Constitution. Seems like some could use a refresher.

One of our favorite brain dead politicians is under full-scale investigation by the House ethics committee.

Taxpayer funded studies on how Congressmen can avoid constituents. Sounds about right.

What happened to Obamamania? Those Obama bumper stickers have been flying off cars since reality set in.

This is what you get when you vote AGAINST a party rather than FOR a party you believe in.

One of the first things you learn in Economics 101 is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Well when it comes to healthcare, Barack Obama is offering free breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.

Our pay czar says that he doesn't want broader powers over the rest of the financial sector.

Speaking of pay czars, just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Could Washington's plans to rein in executive salaries eventually result in even higher executive pay?

From Victor Davis Hanson ... All Falling Down . . .

When it comes to banking, size isn't the only thing that matters.

The White House is catching a lot of flak for giving perks to its top donors.

How's that stimulus spending working out for ya? Philadelphia was awarded $157 million in federal funds. It has only spent $1 million so far and only saved 52 jobs.

Obama signed his first defense authorization bill, only after complaining that there was too much pork spending in the bill.

Guess who is back at the government trough ... GMAC!

The Senate has agreed to extend the first-time homebuyer tax credit.

Ethics offices in Washington are at odds with each other, so they call in Nancy Pelosi to intervene.

This one ought to get the turbos charged ... scientists have been able to grow artificial sperm and eggs.

Your House of Representatives is taking the time to call hearings to discuss the long-term effects of head injuries in football.

Costco says that it is now going to start accepting food stamps.

Ladies, how do you feel about Ian Robinson's column about right-wing women?

This headline really says it all: Harry Reid is shopping for reelection insurance.

Here's an explanation as to why a health insurance mandate will make people worse off. And you thought this was all about your health?

John Kerry says that Gen. McChrystal's request for more troops is too ambitious. Since when are we letting John Kerry dictate our foreign policy?

Our pay czar has extended his reach to now include 525 second-tier executives at the seven companies receiving "exceptional assistance" from the government.

Could it be that one reason Congress has performed so poorly is because, for 100 years, its members' compensation has been totally unrelated to their performance?

Nineteen states are now making moves to reassert your rights as individuals to make decisions about your healthcare.

The New York Times thinks that our economic problems could be solved by more economic stimulus from the federal government.

From Pravda ... America is slowly moving from a country of capitalism to a country of socialism.

Chicago is going to pay bounty hunters to rat out businesses that cheat on their taxes.

Do you remember the Cash for Codgers program? Obama and the Democrats seem to want to make that a reality.

I'm sure you've seen this list by now ... what if Bush had done that?

Now here's a presidency you never want to be compared to: Jimmy Carter.

The Northwest pilots who overshot the airport by 150 miles have had their licenses revoked by the FAA.

"Damn it feels good to be a victim"

You can decide if this is a good thing or not. Studies show that most women end up looking like their mothers.

And for you men .. if you want to ensure marital bliss .. marry a woman who is smarter than you and at least five years younger.

Hey, it was worth a try.

"Public Plan," or "Government Plan?" Read and decide if you like the idea.

According to Orrin Hatch, some people think that Obama is delaying his decision on Afghanistan until after the gubernatorial elections in November.

Government health care just isn't doing all that well in the polls. Now why would that be?

And this is probably why Obama will wait ... polls show that the Democrats are losing independent voters. Quickly.

Princess Nancy insists that the House healthcare bill will include the government option.

Many of you have emailed this video of Lord Monckton on climate change and US sovereignty.
