Quote Of The Day

by Smitty From Basil at IMAO How can Congress possibly balance the federal budget without raising taxes? It’s easy. Make Congress make up for any shortfall in the budget. Take it out of their pay.

UPDATE: A Completely Crazy Idea

CubaChi at The Right Scoop: A hero, a man who is risking life and limb to rescue the Netherlands and Europe from radical Islamization and communism taking grip of his country and continent.

As The System Of Checks And Balances Disintegrates, Congress Becomes A Messy Signing Statement

by Smitty The Purple Avenger over at AoS seems kinda shocked that, once Harry Reid pulls his finger out of the dike, a flood of Really Bad Ideas follows, as captured in the WSJ.  In this particular case, it’s the Federal takeover of education.  Got to make sure that the tender collegiate brains are programmed […]

Paco Uses ‘Elitist C*nt’ In Reference To David Brooks!

by Smitty The Enterprising Paco appears to have gone all Dan Riehl over a certain John Feehery at the Daily Caller. Feehery’s piece is a prime example of Brooksian nematodery. The title of this post comes from the following passage of Paco’s flogging: You have unhappily tripped up upon your very entrance into the arena […]

PHOTOS: Huntsville, Alabama — Protest Against Boehner, Griffith and GOP

As I explained Saturday at the American Spectator blog, there is bipartisan grassroots resentment in Alabama’s 5th District against Rep. Parker Griffith, who switched from Democrat to Republican. Today about 200 people showed up at a protest in Huntsville, Al., where House Minority Leader John Boehner appeared at a Griffith fundraising dinner. Thanks to Stephen Gordon for […]
