I had a bit of fun at Ryan Bailey’s expense, but I want to make clear to him and to others like him that I meant no insult to him. What I meant to poke fun at was that he was suprised that there were people out there who supported Barack Obama, a man that [...]
Steve Farley, along with many other members, was up until the wee hours this morning. This didn’t stop him from typing. After the jump is the latest Farley Report, posted at five AM. Money quote: This was one of the Jack Harper amendments that was not stripped out. He demanded in exchange for his support [...]
We have a new poster on here named Ryan Bailey who is shocked that there is support for Barack Obama on this site. What I’m curious about is this: is he only feigning shock for rhetorical effect, or is he genuinely perplexed that there is support for Obama on a famoulsy left-of-center site? Next up: [...]
I woke up this way too early morning to the awful whine of what I think was a low flying plane over my neighborhood. Having no way to fall back asleep, I went online and found out what many of you know by now: the deal passed the House, but can’t pass the Senate. For [...]
I must say as someone of mixed Polish and Mexican heritage that the selection of beverages at today’s “beer summit” is offensive to me. What, no Tecate? No Żywiec? No Dos Equis? No Okocim? Where is Glenn Beck to speak out on this? Surely this slap against those of us of Slavo-Hispanic heritage is another [...]
I recieved a press release from Jesse Kelly’s campaign saying that they had scheduled a debate with Gabrielle Giffords for the 18th of next month. Of course, they failed to actually ask Giffords about this, they just scheduled one. Chalk this up as a text book cheap stunt that rears its head a couple of [...]
House and Senate adjouned for the evening tonight. Evidently, either their vote counts were wrong or they lost votes sometime over the course of the day. Republican leaders are asking for folks to cancel their vacations to come back tomorrow for another try. According to R-Cubed’s man at the Capitol, the chances of that working [...]
When I heard that Jesse Kelly had already spent $16,208.53 on a campaign that really isn’t fully underway yet, it made me wonder what that money went into. I know that money has to be spent on his initial round of literature and getting a consultant on board, but he isn’t running ads yet, right? [...]
A random correspondent sent me a text message with his “Quote of the Day, So Far” from Senator Ron Gould: Today I crawled out of a woman’s attic, took a shower and came to the Capitol.
Remember when they claimed that this sales tax increase would raise one billion dollars? Well that phrase is, in the immortal words of Ron Ziegler, no longer operational. At least, depending on the audience. In any event, the $1 Billion is based on rosy predictions about sales tax revenues (an iffy proposition at best) and [...]
