Holy Freaking Crap: White House Spokesman Admits It’s Just Kabuki? UPDATED: Now With Video

Headline at Ace of Spades HQ quotes Jay Carney: To Even Ask That The President Show His Plan Is To Repeat a “Republican Talking Point” Which is, of course, a blunt confession that Obama is concerned about nothing but politics. He’s not trying to solve a problem. He’s ginning up a phony crisis and doing […]

Zilla Wins the Internet

Over the weekend I did a post about Zilla’s fundraiser to avert doom. Thanks to your help, doom was averted and now — shades of Russ Emerson — Zilla is under assault by the sub-humans at Democrat Underground who call her (among much else) “a far-right racist . . . bigotbot who ran smear campaigns […]

A Democrat Admits the Truth

When a Democrat says something that’s actually true, that’s what we call “news,” and Rep. Pete Stark calls the debt-ceiling debate a “charade.” “Charade,” “kabuki dance” — to-may-to, to-mah-to — Obama and Harry Reid are putting on a political pageant that doesn’t deceive anyone with enough brains to see what’s really going on. Andy at […]

Obama’s Foreign Policy Is About as Successful as Obama’s Domestic Policy

Which is to say, it’s a pathetic joke: The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs’ pronouncement today that Libya is a “stalemate” would, I think, have gotten a bit more attention but for the debt debate. We recently passed the four-month anniversary of “Operation Odyssey Dawn,” the U.S.-led air assault on Moammar Qaddafi’s regime. Now, 128 […]

More Honest and Interesting Than Whatever Obama’s Gonna Say on TV

Because I refuse to watch Obama’s phony primetime TV speech, and figure you don’t want to watch it either, here’s a three-minute video press release about a proposed independent conservative film: They’re trying to raise $130,000 to turn that into a movie, so go check ’em out and see what you think. Whatever you do, […]

Spooky Kabuki: More Free Primetime TV for the Summer Bummer Obama Drama

The World’s Least Plausible Reality Show continues: Mr Obama will address the nation tonight at 9pm Eastern Time and U.S. leaders are trying to reassure jittery investors as Wall Street markets closed down and global indexes wobbled today. Jeebus, this guy doesn’t know when to quit, does he? On the bright side, Black Monday was merely […]

Terrorists for Tax Increases

This morning I got a Twitter message from a friend who works at the DC offices of Americans for Tax Reform, informing me that they had been evacuated after a bomb threat. Alex Pappas at The Daily Caller reports: Staffers at Americans for Tax Reform, the anti-tax group run by conservative activist Grover Norquist, evacuated their building […]

Bogus ‘Facts’? Twisted Logic? Raw Hate? Of Course: It’s Democratic Underground!

Next time somebody tries to tell you that the Right is a collection of crazy wingnuts, tell ’em to check out the DUmmies: Compared to the poltroons at DU, the Huffington Post* is a regular collection of rocket scientists. Even the assemblage of cretins at the Daily Kos has been heard to advise the DU, […]
