President Obama certainly knows how to generate bipartisanship in Washington. The House voted 414-0 to reject his budget. The leadership thing; he's not so hot at that.
Politifraud, the self-appointed arbiter of “truth” has graded House Speaker John Boehner’s promise that he would fly commercial, unlike his predecessor, Democrat Nancy Pelosi who famously acted as though the U.S. Air Force was her own private airline. The grade from Politifact: “In the works.” Here’s their research: His spokesman, Michael Steel, told The Hill […]
Energy Secretary Steven Chu is a very smart scientist. He’s a piss-poor manager. Just a week after the GAO gave his agency an 85 percent failure rate [PDF Format] when it came to following the proper procedures for awarding loan guarantees to companies such as Solyndra, Beacon Power and EnerDel, Chu was up on Capitol […]
Late last month The Washington Post decided to make a cause célèbre out of the case of a woman who was denied communion [PDF format] at her mother’s funeral. At the bottom of the front page was a sympathetic story of how heart-broken Johnson was. Oh, by the way, Johnson had talked to the priest […]

The statute stipulates that anyone who “speaks of and concerning any woman, married or unmarried, falsely and maliciously imputing to her a want of […]
I’ve been stewing this past week over Sandra Fluke’s insistence that people who are morally opposed to abortion, birth control or sterilization pay for it. That’s what this is about. It isn’t about “women’s health.” It’s about imposing her views on those who oppose it. In a sideshow before Democrats in Congress, Fluke complained that […]
Bill Clinton famously felt your pain. Barack Obama, well, you can have a “free” aspirin. In testimony before Congress yesterday, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who in the past has advocated European gas price levels of $8+ a gallon, confessed that the Obama administration isn’t interested in lowering gas prices. (I paid $4.17 to fill up […]
Andrew Breitbart is dead at 43. The consummate happy warrior, he will be missed. UPDATE The hate and vitriol unleashed by the left today was the worst I've seen since Tony Snow passed away. It's not hard to find; you can search Breitbart's name on Twitter, or drop by Slate or Rolling Stone. Remember what […]
