It is quickly becoming apparent that the Democrat strategy for victory in 2012 is to demagogue Republicans on Medicare and push the program ever-closer to default through neglect. Don’t believe me? Well, certainly you can trust Bill Clinton—at least when it’s an admission against interest. The big news today was that 40 senate Republicans voted […]
Maybe the vice president is rubbing off on President Obama. First, there’s a severe case of jet-lag—three years worth. Yes, he got the year wrong. Heck, he’s in the wrong decade. And then we have him botching the toast to the queen at the state dinner. And Bush 43 was the oaf? The worst he […]
Last Friday marked the 60th day after President Obama committed U.S. military forces in action against Libya. Sixty days is an important number because the War Powers Act requires the President to get congressional authorization within 60 days of committing U.S. forces to military action. There’s some dispute over whether or not the War Powers […]
Sometimes you just let the primary documents speak for themselves. “The subject was also transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken ankle, a broken leg, several missing teeth, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions, assorted lacerations, a broken nose and a broken jaw…injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell off the […]
So, I didn’t note it here on this blog, but last month I got a letter to the editor published in the local newspaper. Hazard of public sector unions Bill Bianchi (Letters, April 1) misstated the impact of the Citizens United decision. The Supreme Court did not allow corporations to make unlimited donations to politicians. […]
Mitt Romney gave a speech last week defending Romneycare, which was Massachusetts version of Obamacare. Romney’s arguments as to why his statewide healthcare plan was a good idea and Obama’s national healthcare plan is not are nonsensical. Romney’s belief that his healthcare plan worked for the state of Massachusetts is proven false by the facts. […]
UPDATE & BUMPED Google’s motto is famously “Don’t Be Evil”—they’re failing miserably. For the record, I chastised Google—civilly—in a response to this thread, which was promptly flushed down the memory hole. Nitecruzr—whoever he is—has all the makings of a little thug. UPDATE I've apparently paid for my intervention on Althouse's part. Patterico is reporting that […]
I can’t make this stuff up. If Bill Clinton had his way, there would be an Internet agency created by the U.S. government or United Nations to debunk malicious rumors that originate and spread online. "I think it would be a legitimate thing to do," Clinton told CNBC in an interview that aired Friday. He […]
Because pollsters certainly can’t be trusted—especially those acting under the auspices of the so-called unbiased media. The latest AP poll has President Obama’s approval rating at 60 percent and 52 percent of people approve of the way he’s handling the economy. Unemployment? 52 percent approve. Healthcare? 54 percent approve. Who would’ve expected that killing Osama […]
