Why The Sudden Bi-Partisan Financial Regulation Interest?

by Smitty After the economic stun-ulus, auto takeover and the ObamaCare fiasco, the default position amongst conservatives is that the 111th Congress couldn’t lead two nuns in one minute of silent prayer. Now the Senate is setting about considering Wall Street regulation, to howls of derisive laughter, combined with angst at the economic sodomy to […]

My Congresstool Shames Me

by Smitty From RetireJimMoran.com: In October 2008, during a debate with 2008 GOP candidate Mark Ellmore at an Indian-American forum, Jim Moran “freaked out” at the notion that both parties are to blame for the Wall Street mess that contributed to the recession and caused the bailouts.

by Smitty (photo: Top of the Ticket) BHO: I’ve got to pick a SCOTUS nominee. Whoever pulls my finger first gets the nod. JRB: [runs] Bravely, Finally Dispatched!
