California Workers Laid Off and Their Jobs Shipped to China by Greedy Republican Democrat Jane Harman?

Yeah, this could kind of wreck the class-warfare rhetoric Democrats usually roll out in their election campaigns: California Democrat Rep. Jane Harman’s family business is laying off American workers – including engineering employees in California — and shifting jobs overseas. A letter from the human resources director of one Harman company, obtained exclusively by The […]

John and Lisa, Sittin’ in a Tree . . .

. . . K-I-S-S-I-N-G! That’s a link to a June 2009 article pointing out that the downfall of Nevada’s John Ensign resulted in the ascent of South Dakota Sen. John Thune and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowksi in the GOP hierarchy. A little birdie — my, how these birdies love to sing! — points out that […]

VA-9: Obama Loves This Democrat!

Dumb Democrat Week continues as we highlight Rick Boucher, the Virginia Democrat who voted for cap-and-trade. Incumbent Problem #1: Boucher represents an Appalachian region of rural southwest Virginia where coal mining is a vital industry and thousands of local jobs would be lost if cap-and-trade becomes law. Incumbent Problem #2: When the House adjourned without voting to extend tax […]

Stupidest. Democrat. EVAH!

Rarely have I ever disagreed with Ann Coulter, but her pronouncement that Patty Murray is “the stupidest person in America” was simply wrong. Of course, the stupidest person in America is a Democrat but, contra Coulter, it’s not the buffoonish senator from Washington state. No, even the astonishing stupidity of Patty Murray is no match for […]

Offshore Drilling: Another Reason Jim Moran Needs To Find New Work

by Smitty Via Shelly’s List, the comPost quotes my Congresstool: Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.), who chairs the House Appropriations Committee’s interior and environment subcommittee, said that if Democrats retain control of the House in the midterm elections, he will press for a moratorium on drilling in the mid-Atlantic and off Alaska. “The gulf […]

AZ-7: Another Democrat in Trouble, Another Excellent GOP Challenger

The rule of polling is, if the incumbent is under 50%, the incumbent is in trouble. By that measure, Democrat Rep. Raúl Grijalva — polling at an anemic 42% — is in serious trouble in Arizona’s 7th District: Republican Ruth McClung is trailing Rep. Raúl Grijalva by seven points according to a poll done for her campaign and […]

Guess Who Flew Into The Area For A Bit Of Campaigning Last Weekend?

by Smitty I’m not saying that “Gentleman” Jim Moran is, you know, incontinent at the thought of having a non-Ruling Class American tell him to stand and deliver for his two decades of largesse, but look what happened. Jim Moran had to summon the infamous Anthropogenic Global Warming Climate Change Disruption fraudster, Nobel medalist, Academy […]

There’s Crazy, and Then There’s Crazy

How crazy was it that I got to hang out with Todd Palin and got Tweeted by Alyssa Milano in the same month? But I am, after all, a professional journalist and these gonzo adventures are just part of what I do for a living. (Hey, have you hit the tip jar yet?) On the […]
