Left Field Possibility

by Smitty Say this is all a giant mind-frak. Say that BHO, surveying the wreckage of the steaming pile of manure delivered to his desk, decrees that it is too contentious, too perilous, and that Reid and Pelosi have done what they could, but that the legislation simply wasn’t up to signing standards. Say he […]

Of Course The Democrats Wouldn’t Lie About A Memo About CBO ‘Estimate’

by Smitty The CBO comes out with a preliminary estimate. This blog has obtained a conceptual view of the inner workings of the CBO’s toil: The Democrats then took this explicitly labeled preliminary estimate, written about a jello-to-the-wall piece of legislation of un-Presidented complexity, and treated that estimate like gospel. Now, a memo surfaced today […]

RAMMING SPEED! Democrats Prepare for ‘Really Stupid and Futile Gesture’

From my latest American Spectator column: Does anyone else remember what happened Jan. 19? Did anyone else watch the confetti fly and hear the band play in the ballroom of Boston’s Park Plaza Hotel two months ago? Or was the election of a Republican to the Senate seat held for more than four decades by […]

The Bigger Picture

by Smitty Via Moonbattery, we have a sobering summary of 14 months of Constitutional demolition:.

UPDATE 3:56 p.m. ET: Michelle Malkin has the details on the procedural vote whereby the House Democrats approved the so-called “Slaughter Solution” to allow them to pass the Senate version without actually voting on it. This is a Constitution-be-damned-just-ram-it-through move, and Michelle links this fretful remark from AOSHQ: “I am getting really worried, because if 222 Democrats […]

Yid With Lid: Obama Fox News Transcript

by Smitty Treat yourself to a taste of what journalism should have been. Trying to quote the most outrageous bit is futile. The Orwellian, purple DC haze machine belches early and builds to a fine fog by finish. If we tolerate this form of government-by-swindle, think of what awaits. 5- and 10k-page bills. Government by […]

Why Did Barack Obama Decide to
Stir Up Trouble for Israel Now?

The New Republic: Why Hamas’s “day of rage” over Jerusalem and the Palestinian Authority’s call to gather on the Temple Mount to “save” the Dome of the Rock from non-existent plans to build the Third Temple? Why the sudden outrage over rebuilding a synagogue, destroyed by the Jordanians in 1948, in the Old City’s Jewish […]

Dennis Kucinich to Vote ‘Yes’ and Other Updates on Zombie Health Care Bill

Obama’s arm-twisting works wonders on the little leftist from Ohio: “In the past week it’s become clear that the vote on the final bill will be very close,” Kucinich, who voted No last time because of the lack of the public option, said at a presser moments ago. He acknowleged that he’d be voting “not […]
