Blame Harry Reid If U.S. Defaults

Dirty Harry’s Senate has passed nothing, and immediately voted down the debt-ceiling bill that the Republican-led House passed Friday: The Senate on Friday evening rejected House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) plan to raise the debt limit, upping the ante in the game of chicken between House and Senate. The 59-41 vote, on a motion to […]

Boehner Debt-Ceiling Bill Barely Passes House 218-210; 22 GOP ‘No’ Votes

We’ll have the roll-call and other news momentarily. UPDATE: New York Times: The House of Representatives on Friday approved a plan for a short-term increase in the debt ceiling and cuts in spending, ending a week of intense fighting among Republicans and shifting the end game of the debate to the Senate. The vote was […]

Fake Boob News Update

No — not talking about Harry Reid, but about an item that Wombat linked this morning in his “Live at Five” headline roundup: Denise Richards hasn’t always been happy with her body. In the new issue of Us Weekly (out now), the 40-year-old actress opens up about her series of botched boob jobs — and why […]

Pete Wins the $10. I Blame Soros.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average failed to drop by the 200 points I’d predicted. It was down badly, off 96.87 to close at 12,143.24, but that wasn’t enough to win my $10 bet against Pete Da Tech Guy, so I’ve already paid off. It’s obvious to me that George Soros manipulated the market today just to […]

Renee Ellmers, GOP ‘Rock Star’

His Republican challenger is Renee Ellmers. That was the first time Etheridge’s Tea Party-backed GOP challenger was mentioned on the blog. We frequently mentioned Ellmers […]

A Smitty Favorite

“It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thing — ‘Carry a message to Garcia!’” — “Management Delegation, Staff Initiative: A Message to Garcia, By Elbert Hubbard,” […]

Obama Speaks, Markets Fall

Before President Obama’s speech, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 90 points. Now — as of 10:45 a.m. ET — it’s down 110 points. Why? Because he used his speech for a partisan hit on the GOP as offering a bill that “does not solve the problem” and can’t pass Harry Reid’s Democrat-controlled Senate. […]

Pamela Geller Linked by New York Times

Not in a good way, but by a couple of Norwegian writers blaming her (and “Islamophobia”) for the Oslo massacre: Hatred of Muslims and resentment of the left — one of us has repeatedly received resentful diatribes against the “multiculturalist elite,” and was mentioned in Mr. Breivik’s own writings — is not confined to Norway.
