Yesterday the Republican’s released a plan to cut $2.5 trillion in spending over the next 10 years. The plan is being met with a lot of skepticism, even from FOX News where Neil Cavuto noted that the plan actually saves only $330 billion. The plan, which does not touch the Pentagon or Homeland Security, calls […]
There has been a lot of talk that President Obama might be open to some sort of deal to cut Social Security benefits. Well that is a very bad idea: President Barack Obama’s apparent willingness to consider cuts in Social Security benefits may be winning him points with Washington elites, but it’s killing him with […]
Following up on my last post about the debate we need when talking about yesterday’s incident, this statement from Senator John Kyl, when talking about last night’s remarks from Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, are not helpful: First, I didn’t really think that that had any part in a law enforcement briefing last night. It […]
This is a really, really, REALLY bad idea: To the dismay of safety advocates already worried about driver distraction, automakers and high-tech companies have found a new place to put sophisticated Internet-connected computers: the front seat. Technology giants like Intel and Google are turning their attention from the desktop to the dashboard, hoping to bring […]
This is a very bad idea: (from TNR) According to a pair of senior Capitol Hill staffers, one from each chamber, House and Senate Democrats are “almost certain” to negotiate informally rather than convene a formal conference committee. Doing so would allow Democrats to avoid a series of procedural steps–not least among them, a series […]
There has been a lot of chatter today regarding MSNBC’s decision to scrap Olbermann and Matthews on special election coverage. Honestly, I don’t think it’s a bad idea. MSNBC’s ratings were in the toilet during the conventions and I can honestly see why. They didn’t cover the convention – they covered each others opinions. I […]
Following up on a post last week about Rudy defending his decision to move the emergency operations center into WTC 7, we now have more proof of people warning him it would be a bad idea: The New York Police Department produced a detailed analysis in 1998 opposing plans by the city to locate its […]
That is Bush’s favorite line, but why should we? Josh has this to say: But going back now some four years, who can point to even a single Bush administration decision in Iraq, either strategic or tactical, that didn’t turn out to be either a bad idea or a complete disaster? Anything? One good call? […]
Bush was in damage control last night when he spoke to us from the Oval Office and now it looks as though he may have caused even more damage than before (A sure sign Rove must be under enormous stress). First off Bush’s promise to send 6,000 National Guard troops to the border. He is […]
