The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Rahm Swan Song?

by Smitty (via Lucianne) “Democrats have not stood behind the president in the way Republicans did for George W Bush, and that was meant to be Rahm’s job.” There were sharp differences over health care reform, with Mr Emanuel arguing that public hostility about cost should have forced them into producing a scaled down package. […]

Peggy Noonan, Secret Motörhead Fan

by Smitty (via Insty) The president is starting to look snakebit. He’s starting to look unlucky, like Jimmy Carter. It wasn’t Mr. Carter’s fault that the American diplomats were taken hostage in Tehran, but he handled it badly, and suffered. He defied the rule of the King in “Pippin,” the Broadway show of Carter’s era, […]

Dictatorship of the Obamatariat: Federal Court Rejects Gerald Walpin Lawsuit

Via Instapundit, we learn that a judge has rejected the AmeriCorps inspector general’s wrongful termination claim.

Jim DeMint in November. Meeting in Columbia, members of the state Democratic […]

Not Wanting To Take On The Big Fur Hat Here. . .

by Smitty BFH at iOwnTheWorld says: Everyone, by now, has heard that Representative Joe Barton, from Texas, apologized to BP’s Tony Hayward for the “shakedown” they received from the Obama administration. Geez. Talk about a tin ear. Barton, everyone but BP and their family wants BP to pay for the clean up, so, you lost […]

Reminds Me of an Old Joke

What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start! When I endorsed the idea of using lawyers to plug the the BP oil well, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind: The Washington Post reports that President Obama has named a lawyer to supervise oil drilling. “President Obama […]
