God and Oslo
Yesterday, I filled in for Neal Boortz on his syndicated show and was live on air as the news was breaking from the horror in Oslo, Norway. With Al Jazeera, international news networks, and domestic networks all raising the link to an Islamic radical Norway was deporting, I put on twitter that the odds were [...]
Did Rep. David Wu (D, OR) rape a girl?
Sorry to put it that bluntly. It’s just that Rep. David Wu (D, OR*) has gotten increasingly erratic… actually, let us not mince words: Wu has been acting nuttier and nuttier for the last year. This RedState diary from February of this year tells what we thought was the tale: strange emails, bizarre statements, erratic [...]
Obama blows $800 billion in additional tax revenue
Blame Obama’s insatiable insistence on more and more taxes for the collapse of the debt ceiling negotiations. In the Los Angeles Times, Peter Nicholas and Lisa Mascaro tell us that on Sunday, July 17, Obama and the Republicans had agreed upon “$800 billion in revenue increases.” On Tuesday, July 19, the Gang of Six unveiled its [...]
Tech at Night: Anonymous losing, CA Amazon Tax repeal leading, Anti-AT&T folk lying
Anonymous is starting to lose more than it wins. As I already mentioned on Wednesday, the FBI is racking up names to arrest, and moving on them. Anonymous responded by claiming to have broken into NATO systems. The world responded by trashing Anonymous’s AnonPlus website. Of course, when they’re in jail, that won’t matter much, [...]
House GOP Leadership Admits It Will Not Hold The Line
Greta Van Sustren has a quote up from Eric Cantor. Cantor and the House Republicans are blaming Saxby Chambliss, Mike Crapo, Tom Coburn, and the other members of the Gang of Six for blowing things for them. It might actually be a blessing in disguise. Why? Because the overlooked portion of the Cantor statement makes [...]
We’re Back
Thanks to Neil working his magic, we are back. Some tinkering under the hood went awry. Thanks to all who emailed, tweeted, texted, Facebooked, Google+’d, etc.
Putting Saxby Chambliss, Mike Crapo, and Tom Coburn in Perspective
This is really sad and pathetic. I can only guess they have struck such a bad deal because they negotiated from a position of fear. You never get a good deal when you are negotiating because you are scared. The Senate Budget Committee is sending around an email pointing out some of the horrors of [...]
BOEMRE Slowdown Costs 230,000 Jobs, $44 Billion in GDP
A new study from IHS-CERA, one of the leading energy think tanks, projects the cost of the Department of the Interior’s ongoing regulatory slowdown and its impact on the energy industry, employment in the coastal states, and the U.S. economy in general. The study, released on Thursday, was commissioned by the Gulf Economic Survival Team [...]
House Republicans Should Not Rely on Democrats For Votes on the Debt Ceiling
I think conservatives need to draw one more line in the sand on the debt ceiling. There is a growing worry that John Boehner and Eric Cantor will come up with a deal with the White House that will require Democrat votes to get through the House of Representatives. This would be a replay of [...]
Obama’s Billionairess Union-Busting Buddy Turns Heat On Strikers! [Updated]
Assuming she has outside advisers advising her, Barack Obama’s Money Maven, Penny Pritzker, is exactly the type of individual Labor Secretary Hilda Solis will likely be targeting when the Department of Labor pushes through its new rules targeting “anti-union” employers In fact, it is rather odd that Ms. Pritzker’s anti-unionism hasn’t had a light shined on it by [...]
