This is about as disgusting as it gets. I’ve never even heard of this Moran guy, so my first impression of him is the lasting impression that my military service isn’t worth as much as Jim Moran’s public service as a leftist politician. Really?? So I guess in “charging into the breeches” of Congress, Jim Moran got to see friends killed trying to cover his | Read More »

Actually, it’s more than just a speech. All indications are this Thursday will be the Summer kickoff to our next political nightmare; trying to stave off yet another Amnesty package. Even now, activists working through OFA are planning on targeting GOP Congress members and “making them pay” if they don’t line up for amnesty. Meeting with Obama on Monday, labor leaders, activists, and Congressional Democrats | Read More »

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) put on the Senate record what most of us already know; the White House is creating an “enemies list” to make anything Nixon ever did look like a list of your favorite baseball cards. First some background via American Thinker; Obama’s oratory of Hope and Change has proved to be nothing more than camouflage for a realpolitik of Fear and Loathing, | Read More »
I honestly did On May 17, 2008, one Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy suffered a series of seizures and was rushed from the wind farm-free Kennedy compound to (eventually) Massachusetts General Hospital where he would be diagnosed as having malignant glioma, or a cancerous brain tumor. Ok, it could happen to any of us, and many feel if we remind anyone of how we truly feel | Read More »
Hey Moe! Nyk nyk! No not that Moe. I’m currently trying to snag a copy of the House debate on Cap N Trade Tax from Friday, and so far have only been able to grab it in five minute bites. How long did the whole thing last? Multiply that by 5. In going through all the clips trying to find Boehner, McClintock and a few | Read More »
As if nobody will notice! This is getting to be dog bites man news out here, but it’s always good to see the bad get caught.

Sorry for the language, but damn Just saw this little blurb about “The Pentagon” lifting restrictions about taking pictures of our deceased service men and women “if the families of casualties agree.” Like they’ll be asked Like they’d agree if they were Like my current CinC keeps promises? Note to Obama; first damn time you let HuffPo or anyone else use pics of my KIA | Read More »
Pelosi threaten to take them to dinner? What? Prior to the House voting on the massive Porkulus bill this Friday, there were many in the Democrat Blue Dog Coalition who expressed reservations about being asked to vote for the monster without having sufficient time to read it.

Pretty obvious the state is broke; we’re over taxed, what gives? One thing is no surprise, Californians keep voting for bond propositions like tougher sentencing for criminals and healthcare for kids, all good ideas, but with no additional funding sources allocated the draw is heavy. Mercury News did an analysis that states basically California spent more than it took in. Duh. Sacramento politicians used accounting | Read More »
Pass the popcorn, if you can afford the tax on it! Taxes paid by local Californians are being fought over by state, county, and local governments as we working stiffs continue to feed the fire of the economy. It would be funny if were their money they were fighting over, but as usual it’s ours. The state of California, in its debt hole, says they’ll | Read More »
…with the worst credit rating of any state It took some doing, but California finally beat out Louisiana for the bottom spot on the state credit rating list, making us number one if you hold the list upside-down. With everything pretty much upside-down in California anyway…you get my drift. California and Louisiana had been tied for last place, A-plus on the S&P state ratings list | Read More »
Himself maybe? After being backstabbed by “one of their own” in Tennessee, now the GOP is to believe they can trust a Democrat, Governor John Lynch, to “Do the honorable thing” and appoint a Republican or Independent to replace Senator Judd Gregg in New Hampshire if he takes the Obama gig as secretary of commerce? Rather than do what might further his own career by | Read More »
Well, it seems Governor Arnold’s “Budget Cuts” are more smoke and mirrors. Turns out the package he proposes would make ol’ Gray Davis proud; $11 billion spending cut claim calls $4.7 billion in borrowing a spending cut! The governor’s staff has pushed back over the downbeat tone of my last post on his new budget proposal. Turns out I wasn’t remotely downbeat enough. I would | Read More »

Well, it’s coming to a head on the left coast, and pay attention because it’s probably going to be the microcosm of the coming Federal fiscal mess to come.

Any problem seen, the | Read More »
Well it was an exciting day for watching our wallets drain in California. The state GOP held the line against out of control spending coupled with massive wished-for tax increases.
