An Open Letter to John Boehner
By: tooncesthecat (Diary) | December 10th at 01:39 PM |
Dear Mr. Speaker, I am afraid that in negotiating with President Obama on the pending fiscal cliff that you and the Republican leadership have lost your way. In your desire to strike a “Grand Bargain”, you risk making a “bad bargain” which will cause permanent damage to the Republican Party, alienate conservatives, and have lasting consequences for the American economy. In a desire to make | Read More »
Another Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day for Team Obama
By: tooncesthecat (Diary) | June 1st at 10:22 AM |
Images from Yesterday: Mitt Romney speaking on the economy in front of the shuttered Solyndra plant. A picture is worth a thousand words. David Axelrod giving his best Howard Dean impersonation, attacking Romney’s economic record as Governor of Massachusetts–a record that achieved 4.7% unemployment. Really, David Axelrod. I guess they don’t trust their other surrogates–Deval Patrick and Uncle Joe Biden weren’t allowed close to a | Read More »
While the President plays Chicken Little, the Markets don’t seem to care about the debt ceiling deadlock

Despite President Obama’s effort to roil the markets first on Friday and again Monday night, the world markets refuse to be stampeded into a sell-off even in the face of Secretary Geitner’s threat of an imminent default on the U.

Oops! We’re not going broke on August 2nd after all.

It seems as though Secretary Geitner and President Obama were wrong. The United States will not default on August 2 after all. The 80 million checks can be issued as planned. Armageddon has been postponed for 8 days. How did this happen? It seems that projecting government income and expenditures isn’t rocket science–it’s not science at all–it’s anybody’s guess. And Geitner guessed wrong by several | Read More »
South Carolina to Obama: So Sue Us—Again
By: tooncesthecat (Diary) | June 22nd at 08:03 PM |
On Tuesday, the South Carolina legislature passed one of the toughest anti-immigration laws in the country–an action that is sure to draw a suit from the ACLU and, more than likely, the U.S. Justice Department. The law attacks illegal immigration on a variety of fronts. First, all businesses licensed by the state are required to use the federal government’s E-Verify system to ensure that every | Read More »
Trump’s response to news that Osama is dead
By: tooncesthecat (Diary) | May 2nd at 03:42 PM |
Press statement by Donald Trump “I’m very proud of the role that I played in bringing about the death of Osama bin Laden. If this is true, then I did something that no one else has done. Hillary couldn’t get him killed. Bush couldn’t get him killed. I do, however, want my experts to examine the photographs and conduct an independent DNA analysis. I hope that what | Read More »
