TARP Watchdog Report: Administration ‘Manipulated’ Data to Hide AIG Losses

They tried to “hide the decline,” so to speak: In a scathing 338-page report released today, a federal watchdog exposes the failure of the 2008 Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailout and suggests Treasury Department officials engaged in a politically motivated attempt to hide losses at bankrupt insurance giant AIG with “manipulated” data. “Treasury should have disclosed that […]

How Illinois Democrat Official Sue Walton Puts Down (Married Father of Four) Andrew Breitbart: ‘I Think He’s Gay’

In general, I avoid the “liberals are hypocrites” line of argument that highlights episodes of Democrats engaging in sexism, racism and homophobia, because (a) plenty of other conservatives employ that argument, and (b) my feeling is that political correctness exaggerates the extent and/or danger of these postmodern “sins” against the Religion of Tolerance. Sexism? American […]

The First Rule of Cliffs

It seems like eons ago, but actually it was only December 2008, when I examined the proposed neo-Keynesian economic agenda of the ascendant Democrats and said, “It Won’t Work.” Obamanomics is still not working and a new blog points out that, in the case of our president, persistence is more vice that virtue: Obama gave a […]

Let’s you and I hold a public discussion on America’s health care for those C-SPAN cameras […]

Anne Lamott At Salon With Your Hooey Of The Day

by Smitty This Salon post, “Why I believe in a Democratic comeback” merits stepping out of “Don’t get cocky” mode long enough to explain something to the author. There is nothing as sweet as a comeback, when you are down and out, about to lose, and out of time. The almost certain victors are already […]

Jim Moran Knees All Service Members In The Groin. A Hidden Message, Though?

by Smitty RetireJimMoran.com notes the obvious cheap shot at the military in this two-week old clip: What [Republicans] do is that they find candidates – usually stealth candidates – that haven’t been in office, haven’t served or performed any kind of public service. My opponent is typical. The obvious slam here is the attack on […]
