That’s 44%. And there are probably more, given how broad and riddled with loopholes congressional reporting requirements are (remember that it wasn’t until the Countrywide scandal broke that anyone learned Senator Kent Conrad had a $3.1 million beach house [...]
An interesting analysis from Politico:
With just hours remaining until an historic vote on a sweeping health-care reform measure Saturday evening, at least 32 Democrats have said they will vote against the bill as of 6:30 p.m., according to a POLITICO analysis.
Just eight more “no” votes [...]
If you miss the live broadcast you can catch a re-broadcast of the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night shows on URLRadio.net from 11:00am - 12:00pm central time. Also, KHND AM1470 re-broadcasts the Tuesday shows on their station on Fridays from 11:00am - [...]
Which illustrates perfectly, I think, exactly the sort of finger-in-the-wind politician Obama is. He doesn’t want to just give General McChrystal the troops he needs to succeed because that might upset his rabidly anti-war base. But he can’t just leave the General to twist in the wind either, so he’s [...]
A tenuous link, to be sure, but certainly a troubling one.
Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September [...]
Conservatives have been laughing at Obama’s transparently bogus “jobs created or saved” numbers. But now as the grim reality of Obama’s economic policies set in, the “created or saved” numbers are, more and more, sticking out like a sore thumb.
It is hard to [...]
In a vote yesterday that, not surprisingly, didn’t get reported by the fawning North Dakota media Rep. Pomeroy helped pass a jobs-killing bill foisting new regulations on the chemical industry. These regulations have dire [...]
But hey, we’ve got money to burn right?
Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee today commented on the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) more detailed cost estimate of the manager’s amendment to the House health reform bill.

If this were a Republican, or Sarah Palin’s daughter’s ex-boyfriend, it’d be big news. But Barney Frank is a Democrat, so the usual double standards apply.
Perhaps the most hilarious part of the episode is Rep. Frank’s denial:
Congressman Frank tells FOX25 that he was surprised and disappointed [...]
And given the heft of the several-thousand-page document, as Ed Morrissey points out, the bill would essentially be filibustering itself:
Sen. Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma Republican who developed a close friendship with President Obama when they served together in the Senate, is threatening to have [...]
That didn’t take long:
Congressman-elect Bill Owens was sworn in at noon today.
Owens indicated in a press release that he was now in favor of the bill in direct contrast to his earlier position during his campaign.
According to Politico.com, Mr. Owens assured voters that' [...]
Ok, but what happens when the amendment is voted down? Do these pro-life Democrats then vote for the bill anyway feeling their duty to their pro-life principles has been filled?
House Democratic leaders agreed Friday night to settle an impasse over abortion by letting [...]
That $5 billion figure is a bit low. Remember that Freddie Mac had to make a $1.3 billion payment to the treasury for the original bailout.
Too big to fail:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Freddie Mac, the second largest provider of U.S. residential mortgage funding, on Friday posted [...]
There were hints yesterday about having to postpone a vote, but that might have been a feint to dissuade opponents from last-minute opposition efforts.
President Barack Obama is traveling to Capitol Hill on Saturday to try to close the sale on his signature health care overhaul, [...]
Which doesn’t mean that the attack was linked to terrorism in any way, but it does mean that those who are speculating about terror links aren’t the crazy, racial-profiling idiots so many in the liberal media want to portray them as.
Military and federal investigators [...]
What was that line that Whoopi Goldberg used about Roman Polanski? Oh, yeah! It wasn’t rape rape when he drugged and raped a thirteen year old girl!
Well, in California, Whoopi is considered a genius! Listen to what they’re saying about California’s “Not a tax Tax”...
... there is now a [...]
