Governor Rod Blagojevich selected Burris to fill the seat vacated by soon to be President Obama and that has rankled the Senate Dems.
Rod Blagojevich [...]

One of the horrible things about pedophile sex offenders is that, unlike ordinary opportunistic, amoral offenders, they are driven by an overwhelming compulsion. They’re not the smelly old man living in the broken down house. They’re the pre-school teacher, the scout leader, the priest hosting youth groups, and the nice looking man who coincidentally moves [...]

In the wake of that outrage Howard Dean held a blogger conference call with unhinged lefty bloggers, including Jane Hamsher of Firedog Lake. Those paying attention remember Hamsher as [...]

Heard it on ABC News as I got off the train and it seems to be bandied about by Drudge and The Guardian.
Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration, the Guardian has learned.

Definitely true..as is the fact that McCain shot himself in the foot by supporting the raid on the US treasury , AKA the Bail Out. Money quote: ” Americans want a traditional conservative government. They just didn’t [...]

According to the New York Times, Obama “has elevated the vetting even beyond what might have been expected.”

Hypocrite Dems Seek to Rescue an Industry They Loathe
I’ve kept quiet about the proposed GM bailout emanating from the Democrats because, frankly, I don’t have enough information or understanding to add anything to the great comments you all have been leaving at the blog. (Especially that “German” series, which has kept me in giggles for [...]
