If we are ever going to balance our budget, the national budget, everyone is going to have to give up something in the process. There are not enough pork barrel, purely wasteful, vote-buying programs to come close to accomplishing this goal without each of us losing something free, something paid for by government transfers from […]
Aside from being a flagrant misogynist, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz is also a serial cheerleader for big union labor. Schultz likes to play at being a regular man of the working class in his support of their cause. He particularly likes to excoriate the evil, rich one-percenters who rake in bucks by gaming the system through […]
The IRS has set its sights on at least 20 Tea Party groups, demanding that they “reveal the internal workings of their organizations, including the identification of members, how they are selected, who they associate with, and even what they discuss.” The American Center for Law and Justice is rightfully none too pleased and has […]

Like the Soviet commissars before them, they are blaming the Church and all counter revolutionaries for holding back the benefits the worker’s paradise. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chair, […]
You know that I like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. In fact, I like him a lot. Like me, he’s a girth-enhanced gentleman. He is about as plain spoken as they come. He’s bright, he’s funny, he’s relatively conservative, he’s a loyal proud Republican. So what’s not to like? Well, Christie has ordered that flags […]
OK, probably not the most romantic headline to jumpstart Valentine’s Day, but it is what it is. In this case, it’s the ostensible GOP Not-Mitt of the Moment, Rick Santorum, holding forth that while it’s a rightful abomination for the Obama administration to force religious-affiliated groups to provide employees with insurance coverage for birth control, […]
It’s been 1,000-plus days since the Democrat-controlled Senate last passed a budget, which it’s legally mandated to do … every year. It’s been, um, nearly three – and still no budget.
