Heading Down To The FreedomWorks Protest On The Mall Today

by Smitty I’m about to head down to take in at least the first couple of hours of the FreedomWorks protest. As is customary, I’ll be sporting my USS Constitution ballcap and a bow tie, which is absolutely not an expression of Tucker Carlson-ism. It’s also worth pointing out that Grandpa John’s vision of me, […]

Obama Longshanks?

by Smitty (h/t Nice Deb) Not everyone in the country wants to be called a Scot, though I’ll take it. Sassenach is among the nicer epithets I’d have for the Wicked Witch of the West. We’ve got to do a better job of holding Stupak together at the end of the flick, though.

Video of Paul Ryan via Hot Air: The good news: They still don’t have the votes. […]

Philip Klein of the American Spectator: Shortly before midnight on Sunday, Democrats released a 2,309 page health care bill that will start the process of reconciliation — but don’t let that fool you, it’s not the actual reconciliation bill with all the changes you’ve been reading about. Instead, as Rep. Paul Ryan, the ranking Republican […]

‘Pardon While I Adjust My Rose Colored Glasses’

by Smitty (h/t Brandon Kiser on Twitter) As mooched from here. Someone needs to communicate to Robert Gibbs that the Administration in general, and he in particular, have zero credibility. Do they know this, and slog forward anyway, or are they simply incapable of grasping it? The answer probably doesn’t matter.
