Wow, John McCain has this innovative proposal for a “gas tax holiday.” Yeah, he understands economics (and, as the son of an admiral and husband of an heiress, he certainly understands the plight of the working man more than that Barack Obama).
John, you let those lefty yahoos go on about how the gas tax represents […]
As expected, the President vetoed expansion of the S-CHIP program this morning. His claim is that the program is too expensive.
So, here is my question: the previous congresses have spent so much money on pork barrel projects that even John McCain refered to them as “drunken sailors” (being a Navy man, McCain presumably knows what a […]
The talk in the Dee of Cee is that Alberto Gonzales, our favorite cabinet official, will be announcing his resignation today.
The sick bastard partisan inside of me kind of wanted him to stick around so he could bring the whole crew down. Of course, how much further down can they go?
My brother was in Boston for the National Conference of State Legislatures meeting. Yes, the name of the group has the word “Legislatures” and not “Legislators.” Shortly after he got back, he flew to Denver for a meeting related to his “civilian” work. So, it is only just now that I got his rundown of […]
Back when Richard Carmona’s name was first announced as Surgeon General, I had conversations with two people who had worked with him: one was a county official, the other a former sheriff’s deputy. One liked him, one didn’t, but they both agreed: the guy could be a major pain in the ass. And they meant that […]
I know that us liberals are supposed to be spectacular whimps compared to the oh-so-manly men that lead the Republican party. I mean, not one Democrat has ever shot a friend in the face while hunting captive quail.
But there is a strain of conservative commentary that makes them look like simpering three-year olds: the strain that […]
Story is still developing, but a group of eleven Republican congressmen visited the White House this afternoon, met with the President and high ranking members of his staff and told him that he has no credibility on Iraq. Think Progress has the story.
I have only heard two names (Mark Kirk of Illinois and Charlie Dent […]
With all of the national media attention to the US Attorney scandal (has anyone come up with a snappy name for this yet? Prosecutor Purge?), there hasn’t been a great deal of attention to our own US Attorney’s office.
This may be because the cases in Arkansas and New Mexico have been so blatantly dirty; the […]
Raúl Grijalva submitted this statement to the Congressional Record today:
Madam Speaker, I believe this Congress has a mandate from the voters, to start bringing our troops home now. This is not an option to pursue at our leisure, this is a solemn obligation of absolute urgency. As we speak, preparations are being made to send […]
This from a letter that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will soon release. Also, Oliver North has come out against the “McCain Doctrine.” It worries me that I agree with North. I need to lay of the meds.
President George W. Bush
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President:
The start of the new Congress brings us opportunities […]
