With his presidency losing so much altitude that he’s practically underground now, Captain B+ is about to ‘reconnect with’ the voting public by means of a Palin-style bus tour. Yes, I know – I’ll leave discussion of the irony of the Leftist in Chief following HER lead, of all people, to someone else. What I want to suggest is, what if the notion that this | Read More »
The reviews of President Urkel’s presser yesterday are coming in, and they all seem to say the same thing we pretty much already knew: He doesn’t think he has to change. He doesn’t even think he did anything wrong. OK. As I said, we knew that in advance. Cpt. B+’s personality does not permit Clintonian triangulation. Clinton wanted, above all, to be popular, and would | Read More »
I have been thinking lately about that political truism that pops up every time someone offers a prediction on any upcoming election based on information and polls as we have them at the time – ‘the election is not today’. This is, naturally, exactly as it should be. Nothing stands still, least of all in politics. A lot can change, even at this late stage, | Read More »
She won.
Jim Moran says so. Aren’t you relieved?
Someone else who agrees with what I have been saying since the middle of 2008 – That Zero will not even complete his first term, much less run for and win a second one. Welcome to the club, Mr. Ferrara.
I was reading this, among other articles indicating that the Dems may be planning to scale back their demands on health care, and trying to pass something on what they will then be able to call a bipartisan basis, by getting at least a few GOP votes: The second option calls for drafting a new, compromise bill more palatable to moderates, including some Republicans. I | Read More »
Yet another postmortem on Martha Coakley race, this time from Reason. It has all pretty much been said by now, of course, but the following line was worth the look: Martha Coakley‘s resounding defeat in the Massachusetts Senate race is hardly the sort of anniversary gift President Barack Obama could have predicted. Yet there it was, wrapped in a bow and plopped on his doorstep | Read More »
The White House still doesn’t get it, and will be moving forward with health care: “There are messages here, we hear those messages but there is a tendency in this town … to over blow things even beyond their importance,” said David Axelrod, a top adviser to President Obama, on MSNBC’s “Daily Rundown.” Axelrod signaled that the White House is not giving up on health-care | Read More »
It’s only the Grace of God that this thing got to happen at all. The Democrats had 60 votes, and a manifest willingness to ignore the clear will of the people. Many slipped deadlines (Summer, Thanksgiving, Christmas, SOTU…) notwithstanding, there really wasn’t any reason to think they would not get what they wanted before ballot-casting voters had a chance to say anything about it. ‘Man | Read More »
…in for Rush. He just got off a jag about the Club Gitmo Official Ramadan Pastry Chef (no fooling), who apparently makes the best baklava in the Caribbean. I came nigh a-spoilin me pantaloons. He really ought to book a comedy tour with this stuff, with the announcement made on the tickets and promo material, that, laughs aside, it’s all the God’s honest truth. He | Read More »
OK, there you have it — on a nomination that closed less than 2 weeks after he took office, President 0 has his first Nobel. They didn’t even try to say that he had done anything, just that he might someday. So. Who has one now? Al Gore. Jimmy Carter. And my favorite, Yasser Arafat. But I’ll leave the ‘good company he’s in’ jokes for | Read More »
Am I the only one for whom Redstate now takes 3+ minutes to load? I went to the bathroom, came back, and it wasn’t done yet. C’mon, you guys. Most of us here are Conservatives; We’re busy people, with jobs to go to. Can we get this fixed?
I was trying to think of a way to express the proper sentiment on this day on which GWB stops being the President, replaced by one who will be considerably less concerned with our freedom and much more concerned with how much money he can get out of us in taxes. The answer came quickly: a new stainless steel finish clip-loaded Semi-Auto by US maker Remington in the | Read More »
Well. There it is. As I have been saying for months, if he was who I thought he was, he would not lose. Such a being would not run for POTUS, and lose. And he didn’t. I couldn’t even pray against it. I couldn’t bring myself to think the REAL Messiah would change a plan that was at least 2500 years old on MY say-so. | Read More »
Well, Feddie beat me to it, but I had to add my piece on the commercial I just saw. This is indeed an unusual election. Now, politics ain’t beanbag, as everyone and his brother says; there have been curves, sliders, and all manner of screwballs in this race, and that’s nothing new. Sometimes it’s interesting, sometimes maddening, and sometimes it’s just darn gripping theater. But | Read More »
