Obama Adviser on Solyndra: ‘Ugh’

Congressional investigators got hold of some e-mails between Obama administration officials about the Solyndra deal, and White House adviser Stephanie Cutter’s one-word summary — “Ugh” — gets the headline treatment from Zeke Miller at Buzzfeed. Y’know what I’m noticing about that e-mail, though? It was CC’d to President Obama’s campaign strategist David Plouffe. Kinda interesting. Anyway, […]

Slander on the Senate Floor: Harry Reid Repeats Romney Tax Accusation

Ed Morrissey calls it “despicable and grossly irresponsible,” while Jeff Goldstein predicts there will be a harsh backlash against Reid’s tactics: The arrogance of power can be truly astonishing to watch.

Massively Indebted, Budgetless Government Decides To Let The Taxes Ride With The Spending

by Smitty I’m not asking to have my taxes raised, or to watch the stake go through the heart of the economy. But Congress just kicked the fiscal can down the road again: Yet, in a sign that Wednesday’s vote was more about message than substance, the House made no move to launch a formal […]

Just Another Random Coincidence: Bomb Threat Shuts Down W. Va. Chick-fil-A
