Debt On Arrival, that is, and it’s what House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) tagged President Obama’s budget proposal, released yesterday to nearly unanimous derision. “Debt on arrival. D-E-B-T on arrival,” Ryan said at a press conference. “Look, he raises spending everywhere. He raises taxes everywhere, increases borrowing. The trajectory of this budget is […]
As massive protest, violence, and overall tumult broil in Egypt, with anti-government factions calling for the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, the Obama Administration continues to waffle on taking any official stand on a desired outcome. Meanwhile, concerns continue to mount that a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood could possibly step in to fill any […]
Using a dulled scalpel, of course, that barely breaks the skin. How small of a surgical slice is The One proposing in his “tough budget cuts” posturing? Break out the magnifying glasses and see for yourself. But you’re gonna have to look really, really close.
It’s apparently fine and dandy for national food czarina Michelle Obama to throw her considerable weight behind government mandates that tell our children what they can and cannot eat, but the White House food police seems to have some trouble following its own prescriptive menu. Check out the wholesome fruit-and-vegetable spread offered up at this […]
About halfway through President Obama’s national kumbaya address last month, I found myself wondering who could be gullible and dim enough to actually believe The One was moving to the center-right in all but pure sophistry and disingenuous rhetoric.

This is why the Tea Party will have legs. Despite the alleged Republican resurgence in Congress, there’s already emerging evidence backing the old cliché that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Here we have so-called conservatives throwing their weight and support not only behind insanely expensive and ultimately ineffective high-speed rail […]
If necessity is truly the mother of invention, in some cases stupidity has to rank at least a distant cousin. Case in point: catapulting drug-smugglers on the Arizona-Mexican border. This from FoxNews: National Guard troops operating a remote video surveillance system at the Naco Border Patrol Station say they observed several people preparing a catapult […]
Former presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich apparently has more terrestrial menaces jeopardizing his health and safety than the off chance of being abducted by aliens: namely, the deadly olive pit. Specifically, the one that launched a surprise attack on Kucinich and prompted him, naturally, to file a lawsuit. This from the Cleveland Plain Dealer: Rep. Dennis […]
According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey, support for the overall repeal of the federal government’s health care overhaul has never fallen below 50 percent. However, many Americans are slowly accepting the idea that an all out repeal may be a mere fantasy since Democrats presently control the Senate by a slim margin, as well […]
