Let’s Walk Back That Daffy Lame Duck Talk

by Smitty (h/t Insty) This post is prompted by Sense of Events: “Is Obama a lame duck already?” It’s far too early to start writing anything triumphal about the lameness of the POTUS. The chief reason is that, while the Tea Parties are an impressive outpouring of outrage, they haven’t demonstrated staying power. They cannot, […]

Voodoo Obamanomics: More Creepy Tales of the Undead Zombie Health Care Plan

While we were covering Scott Brown’s campaign in Massachusetts, Dan Collins showed me The Zombie Survival Guide, which would come in mighty handy now as we watch the remorseless efforts of Democrats to revivify the ghastly corpse of ObamaCare: [T]he Obama Administration released a description of its health care proposal, and CBO has already received […]

New advances / relaxations in requirements for the geo-location (this job is in a non-existent district in the 54th state), and species (the cat’s staff swears she has the personality of Barbara Boxer combined with […]

Double Caption Contest

by Smitty Instapundit called for a caption contest.  Via Insty, the formidable Ann Althouse wants four items on a palm. Exit question: what should BHO do, now that the state of the emperor’s wardrobe is known?

Why Did ‘Hope and Change’ Fail?

JSF of Valley of the Shadow explains how Barack Obama’s political experience left him unprepared to cope with conservative opposition: When you study President Obama’s background, he never had to deal with Conservatives or Republicans. . . In Illinois, he never had any hard fought campaigns in his general election. And come 2008, it was going […]
