too much awesome
(h/t Hot Air)
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, ladies and gentlemen (on the must-pass health care bill):
You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care [...]
fratricide
While we can all agree Rahm Emanuel is not the most warm and cuddly guy in politics, this Eric Massa sounds like a real jerk, and it doesn’t surprise me that these two hate each other’s guts. It seems that the Democrats just can’t help themselves when it comes to the fratricide now in progress [...]
heading toward the cliff
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is willing to sacrifice the political futures of her fellow House Democrats in order to get the health care bill passed. That’s generous of her, and the Republicans will absolutely accept that result. I just wonder how many left-leaning true believers are left in the Democratic Congress. The answer [...]
not likely
Our lovable Vice President Joe Biden talking to Larry King:
I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq [...]
well…yeah
What Alan Bock said in the OC Register:
It’s not that there isn’t a good deal of truth in such criticisms of the ways of a “Washington” he invoked more as an epithet than a place. But at what point does a president of the United States take responsibility for his part in feeding the atmosphere [...]
unintentional comedy
Courtesy of the LA Times:
that’s a scary proposition
CBS newsman Bob Schieffer says that “Real security is built on trust in the government.” He actually wrote that! Read it here.
Trust in the government. That’s a scary proposition if you really think about it. The more bureaucracy you add to deal with a potential crisis, the more likely it is that the potential crisis [...]
jumping off the bandwagon
President Obama is in big trouble. He’s lost Maureen Dowd over his response to the recent failed terrorist attack.
While this growing skepticism by the mainstream media and a few responsible libs is welcome, it might have been helpful to have some of that during the 2008 election. No matter which candidate won this election, we [...]
rules and other stupid things
Some new failed jihadist won’t be seeing his 72 virgins.
Not yet anyway. How fortunate those people on that Northwest flight are that the guy didn’t quite have the procedure down for detonating the explosive and that their fellow passengers and airline crew members took the initiative to deal with the threat. This won’t always be the case. Someday the United States may have [...]
flawed concept
Reason’s Jacob Sullum says there should be no fundamental right to health care.
A right to health care thus requires the government to infringe on people’s liberty rights by commandeering their talents, labor, and earnings. And since new subsidies will only exacerbate the disconnect between payment and consumption that drives health care inflation, such interference is bound to increase [...]
