Earlier this month I noted that the Associated Press' "Fact Check" feature was more critical of President Barack Obama than Politifact.com's when it came to whether or not the increased cigarette tax violated Obama's pledge not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000. On Obama's 100th day, the AP came out with another […]
President George W. Bush's last mistake as he left the White House was his decision to use TARP funds -- under what authority no one knows -- to keep GM and Chrysler afloat until the Obama administration could come in and decide what to do. It appears as though the Obama administration is going to […]
Earlier today Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter decided to join the Democratic party. The standard joke appears to be: "So what's new?" Specter has been increasingly at odds with rank-and-file Republicans -- especially where it matters -- in his home state. Numerous polls showed Specter upwards of 20 points down in a GOP primary matchup against […]
The same government that did this, could never achieve what the conspiracy nuts claim they did on 9/11/01. Workers and residents evacuated themselves from several downtown Manhattan buildings Monday morning after a low-flying Boeing 747 was spotted above the city's skyline. The aircraft was a White House plane taking part in a government-sanctioned photo shoot, […]
UPDATE! This post has been updated! First off, Norah O'Donnell is a moron. Evidence: Second, the Democratic machine in Washington State successfully stole the 2004 gubernatorial election there from Republican Dino Rossi. The state has settled intrepid blogger/citizen Stefan Sharkansky's public records lawsuit for $250,000. The lawsuit stemmed from my December 2004 request for a […]
CNN's Bill Schneider suggests that Barack Obama is the "superpresident." He comes to this conclusion after noting: According to Gallup polling examining past presidents' job approval, that's similar to where the last six elected presidents stood after 100 days. Only Ronald Reagan got a slightly higher rating (67 percent). Bill Clinton and the first President […]
I've only seen it reported openly on Fox News and in passing at Politico.com, but it appears that the "tax cut for 95 percent of Americans" will last all of two years before it dies. To tighten future deficits, the deal requires Obama to accept reductions from his domestic spending plans and forego favorite tax […]
UPDATE! This post has been updated. I think she's lying. Pelosi: I didn't know about waterboarding I'm sorry, its just not credible to attempt to make the distinction between knowing that they had legal memos saying they could waterboard and use other enhanced interrogation techniques, but they hadn't decided on using them yet. I've read […]

White House financial guru Austan Goolsbee just got off Fox News' "Your World with Neil Cavuto" with a whopper that he should've been challenged on. Goolsbee claimed that Republicans have no right to complain about President Barack Obama's historic deficit levels because they supported "multi-trillion dollar unnecessary wars." I'm not sure about his use of […]
